Abstract

A gaseous blast reducer employs a membrane which is effective to contain a ass of gas having properties different from air, in the vicinity of the source of the blast. The blast is forced to propagate through the mass of gas before propagating in the air. An acoustic mismatch caused by the difference in properties between the gas and air reduces or attenuates the blast.
