Abrégé

Haptic feedback system that simulates a detonation or explosive event. The system includes a power supply, an energy storage circuit, a switching circuit, and a conductor operatively connected to said energy storage circuit through said switching circuit whereby said conductor causes a haptic event when said energy storage circuit is electrically connected to said conductor by operation of said switching circuit. The system creates shock waves and pressure waves in a safe manner for use in a simulator.

Abrégé

Apparatus for protecting a device from transients. The apparatus includes a switching network and a transmission line electrically connecting an input to an output. The switching network includes a stub connected near the input with a detector at the other end, a switch, and a communication path therebetween. The detector detects a transient and communicates with the switch. The switch then actuates to place a low impendence across the output of the transmission line, thereby attenuating the transient. The switching network has a switching time that equals the sum of the times to detect the transient at the input, transmit a signal corresponding to the detection to the switch, and actuate the switch. The input signal travels from the input to the output along the transmission line, which has a propagation delay. The propagation delay is greater than the stub propagation time plus the switching time of the switch network.
