An effective low-profile thermite torch
Abstract
A thermite torch was designed and built for use in a space-limited environment. The intended application required that a series of these torches be ignited from a single, external pyrotechnic source. Novel design features and optimized use of a single thermite formulation made it possible to achieve the required performance, within the constraints of the application system.
