I think that in american usage this is called a POL-charge. It is a modern version of Louis F. Fieser's (the inventor of Napalm) "Paul Revere" of WW2 vintage. Somewhere here somebody named the foldable HE-charge a bangalore torpedo. It is a linear shaped charge to cut a big chunk of metalplate out of an oil storage tank. What I would like to understand is, how the detonative impulse is transfered from one of this foldable linear charge segments to the other, especially when it is folded 90 degree to form a square, like in the above foto.
