OSTI ID:6562726
An underwater sound imploder adapted for use in the exploration of minerals existing under the sea bed is described. The imploder consists of a combination underwater shell having a fire chamber communicating with and mechanism for introducing to the shell separately a fuel and oxygen or, alternatively, remotely generated steam sporadically or in bursts. Continuous underwater implosions are produced, causing bursts of sounds under the surface of the water directed by the shell in the general direction of the water's bottom. (4 claims)
