Fuse

Fuse(Grommet can), mainGun powderExplosiveAnd so on the device which accompanies the detonating charge in order to explode.

ShellBombAnd so onExplosiveThose which are made to explode are the fuse,GunGunAs for igniting to the propellant generallyDetonatorWith you say.

Operation

Impact,Water pressureElectricityStimulus,Chemical reactionAnd so on with it operates, but with the timing which is intended there are no times when it operates under any condition, at the same time when desiring, the reliability which operates securely is required.

Basically, operation of the fuse is divided into two. The first half with backstop cancellation, while doing that, hitting, times when it operates there are no. The latter half with priming, can actualize the destruction which is intended due to the fact that this is done securely.

For exampleGrenadePulling out the pin, if you do not remove the steering wheel, falling and/or kicking, there are no times when it explodes. Of course such treatment should not do, when and, it throws to the blast furnace and the like, it is not the limit.

Classification

As for the fuse, because it is classified by function, the installing object and installing position etc. as for showing simply in tree formula it is difficult. Because of that description below is one form of classification.

  • ShellBusiness fuse
    The fuse which is installed in the shell, in many cases is the nose fuse, in order to cause largest destruction to object ones, it is designed.
    • Percussion fuze
      It operates with impact. When it is the armor piercing explosion bullet and the like, because the method which explodes armoring of the object after the penetrating the effect is high, instant it operates lately from the impact. This is called the short-term delay fuse vis-a-vis the fuze quick.
    • Air fuse
    • Time fuze
      It explodes with the time lapse after the discharging. The timer is a electric type, a mechanical cable type and a gun powder system etc.. As for being used in the grenade the gun powder type time fuze is many, (?)
    • Fuze proximity
      Even the VT fuse you say. Inspecting the fact that it approaches to goal, it operates.World War IIIn, it was developed because of the antiaircraft artillery, but it withstands the impact when dischargingVacuum tubeThat, (necessary to build in order to inspect it was) production mastered difficulty you say.
  • Depth chargeBusiness fuse
    It operates with the water pressure and the like. After adjusting the depth which is exploded with the dial it dropped.
  • Land mineBusiness fuse
    It operates by the fact that basically, weight is required on. When the backstop is cancelled at the point in time when weight was required, weight leaves next, there are also some which are exploded. In case of the antitank mine, at weight of weight of the human it does not operate. This is specification in order to carry out the purpose, destruction of the vehicle. When something touches the wire which is stretched around, it is in the fuse for the anti personnel mine e.g., it operates.
  • MineBusiness fuse
    The conventional mine has the external form of トゲ, and the like when the hull touches that, explodes.
    As for the fuse which is prepared for the mine of modern times, the hullIronHasMagnetismDoing, it operates e.g., it reacts. Because of this the mine is removedMine sweeperThe wooden boat which does not have magnetism is the basis. Concerning detailsSection of mineIt is reference.

Dud and fuse

When the fuse cannot carry out specified purpose (priming),DudIt becomes. However it is not breakdown, in case such that it did not operate because it falls in the soft earth, there is a possibility of exploding with little impact.

Because of that there is a work first of removing the fuse at the time of bomb disposal, you say that this most requires caution.

The danger of using the fuse of the dud after the secondary great war and between the boysPlayTo become popular at part, as for that intenseFire crackerWith it was the existence which it should call, but to tidy up in the expression, you say that with the substitute which is excessively too dangerous, the killed and wounded was produced.
