hello best friend steemit all back again with me with news i update. Today I will explain a little about parachute signal. Well we just discussed what is parachute signal and how to use it.
Parachute Signal is a tool for sending highly efficient signalling for help both on land and at sea.
This tool consists essentially of a tube in which there is a Parachute with a dependent load of a combustible material usually made of phosphorous or magnesium that is very brightly illuminated when it burns called Flare. Then below it is a series of low explosive (low explossive) peluncar used Black Powder then the trigger mechanism in the form of a primer made of Powder Charge and a firing pin (beating pen) that hit the primer to explode to create sparks that will burn black powder and created a hot, expanding gas causing a direct explosion to burn flares and toss it into the air with his parachute.
Then once the throwing power runs out then the Phosphor / Magnesium that burns will depend on the parachute and down slowly. This flare flame reaches 35,000 candles or the equivalent of the light produced by the flame of 35,000 candles that are ignited simultaneously.
There are civil and military versions. Both are the same only in the military version there is a type that can be fired from a shotgun using a gas-pressure hollow bullet commonly used to throw a rifle grenade.
For the direct shot from the hand there are 3 types of shooting. The first to Parachute Signal Pain Wessex factory output using trigger first and then pulled with the index finger (photo 6), while for the military type using a mechanism that is also in the cock first but not in the pull but the pat on the bottom of the tube using the palm of the hand, then the third type is a classic model that is still used by some manufacturers that is using a pull ring. Cover under the tube in the open it will terdapay ring iron and rope, how to fire it by pulling the iron ring strong.
Of the three shooting systems that I have ever fired only two systems namely mezzel trigger pull and iron ring model.
so the news that I update today thanks to my friends who have upvote my post.
