The problem of studying physical phenomena during an explosion is currently very topical. Some processes during an explosion have durations so short that only electronic equipment can record them. The presence of a pronounced piezoelectric effect in some crystals, as well as in all ferroelectrics, makes it possible to develop low-inertia methods for measuring pressures, including shock wave pressure. Piezoelectric sensors have been used to study shock waves both in our country and abroad. ...

The chamber-shield system with the use of mobile shields was proposed for the extraction of thick gentle seams. Production tests of such a system (1959) with the LG NK-1 shield confirmed the high efficiency and reliability of the mobile support of the protective type.
