Abstract
An underwater shock generation system and method uses an electrolysis generator supplied with an electrolytic liquid to generate an ignitable gas. A housing stores the ignitable gas and is adapted to be disposed in a water environment. An igniter is provided and is operable to ignite the ignitable gas stored in the housing to generate an explosion in the underwater environment. The housing is shaped to control a direction of propagation of the explosion in the water environment.
