Continuous-rod warhead: Difference between revisions

In its most simple conception, consider a cylindrical form upon which an [[even number]] of individual [[steel]] rods are arranged. The rods are parallel to the axis of the form and completely cover it. Now at one end, weld every other rod to the adjacent rod. On the opposite end, likewise weld the rods in pairs but ensure when starting that the first pair of rods is not welded on the opposite end. When all rods are welded, the cylinder of rods may be covered with a light sheet metal jacket that will serve to hold all rods in place. Alternatively, the rods may be held in position with [[epoxy resin]] adhesive. The form may now be removed and in its place is cast a cylinder of [[high explosive]].
