ELECTRIC ARMOUR

The armour is used for the protection of mobile or stationary objects, in particular from high energy impact bodies, such as cumulative or kinetic ammunitions. It extends the time of the electric contact between its electric conductive plates, resulting in increasing the time of the useful effect of the electric current on the high-energy impact body. The armour includes at least two electroconductive front plates (2, 5), between which insulation composite material (7) is fitted in which there is a number of inclined plates (3) of electroconductive material, interconnected electrically and mechanically and at an angle of from 10 to 30 degrees towards plates (2, 5). Solid particles (12) of sodium metasilicates and calcium silicates are built in the composite material (7). The front (2, 5) and the inclined (3) plates, by means of electrical conductors (9, 10) with small resistance, are connected to the two poles of the electric current source (11), e.g. a storage battery. The armour can be made of multiple modules fitted both horizontally and vertically to the protected surfaces of the project. 1 claim, 1 figure
