ISOTTA

Seismic energizer

Essentially made up of a stainless steel cylindric body of tubular shape, the energizer has a front section that may be unscrewed (cartridge chamber), apt to contain a 8-bore blank or industry type cartridge (easily found in every gun shop). This cartridge chamber is without barrel, thus permitting the axial ejection of the energy wave, caused by the explosion of the cartridge, generating waves of type “p” (longitudinal) and type “s” (transversal).
This equipment, classified by the Italian Ministry of the Interior as a "work tool", is exempted from regulation for the possession and use of weapons and can therefore be used without a weapons licence.

HOW DOES IT WORKS?

Essentially made up of a stainless steel cylindric body of tubular shape, the energizer has a front section that maybe unscrewed (cartridge chamber), apt to contain a 8-bore blank or industry type cartridge (easily found in every gun shop). This cartridge chamber is without barrel, thus permitting the axial ejection of the energy wave, caused by the explosion of the cartridge, generating waves of type “p” (longitudinal) and type “s” (transversal).

For a correct and safe use of the instrument, it will be necessary to make a borehole in the ground to a depth of 30-40 cm using the hand-operated auger which is supplied together with the instrument. Thereafter you proceed with the charging of the energizer: two safety lock systems are to be inserted (plug lock and plug), the cartridge chamber unscrewed, the cartridge inserted and the chamber itself finally tightened.

The cylindrical body shall then be fit to the anchor plate without being looked, the energizer inserted to a depth of about 35 cm in the borehole made in the ground, without bringing the opening of the cartridge chamber in contact with the bottom of the borehole. Finally, operating on the special lever, the energizer clamp shall be locked. The two lock systems may now be removed; both the feet are to be put on only one of the clamp arms and, turning the back towards the energizer, you shall strike on the rubber detonation terminal.

Remove everything from the ground after the energization, unscrew the cartridge chamber, expel the cartridge case, insert the two safety locks, and you may then go on inserting another cartridge preparing yourself to repeat every operation from the beginning when moving to the next shot point.
