An explosive planar shock wave generator produces a planar wave that travels down a shape charge cone to give amplified force on the jet. In all embodiments radial waves are converted to planar waves which react with an explosive shape charge. A planar wave shaper is comprised of a conically shaped planar charge having a predetermined diameter at the base and slant heights terminating at an apex. A cylindrically shaped fast detonating charge which is positioned above the cone shaped planar charge is deto- nated by a detonator positioned on the surface of the cylindrically shaped fast detonating charge. A slower cone shaped detonating shape charge intersecting along the base of the conically shaped planar charge receive the planar shock wave as transformed by the conically shaped planar charge. An additional explosive charge which has inter- secting surfaces with the faster cylindrically shaped deto- nating charge and the slower cone shaped detonating shape charge functions to direct the resultant shock wave inward at a perpendicular angle to the cone angles of the slower cone shaped detonating shape charge. This function results in a faster closing of the intersecting surfaces to yield a higher jet velocity directed along the center of the cone. This high closing rate results in a higher jet velocity and more efficiency to permit a reduction in overall weight, length, and diameter of the shape charge.
