A downhole tool, adapted to retain a shaped charge surrounded by a superatmospherically pressurized light gas, is employed in a method for perforating a casing and penetrating reservoir rock around a wellbore. Penetration of a shaped charge jet can be enhanced by at least 40% by imploding a liner in the high pressure, light gas atmosphere. The gas pressure helps confine the jet on the axis of penetration in the latter stages of formation. The light gas, such as helium or hydrogen, is employed to keep the gas density low enough so as not to inhibit liner collapse.

The invention relates to a method and a device as part of a complete brake system, that is, a brake system comprising a conventional part and a further part, such as a recuperative part, by means of which volume displacements of brake fluid are possible. The method according to the invention and the device according to the invention are used particularly if the pressure conditions in the hydraulic part of the brake system are adapted by the controllable braking force amplifier to a change in the additional braking effect of the further part of the brake system.
