Down-wash actuated mine for destroying low flying aircraft etc. - has reaction flow rotor generating electrical energy for setting off explosive charge

摘要

The gas or air downwash from an aircraft is used for exploding concealed explosives or mines for destroying overflying helicopters, air cushion vehicles or other aircraft. The reaction air flow reaching ground initiates the explosive charges concealed in the ground. This ensures that undetected low flying aircraft which tries to avoid radar detection can be destroyed. The air stream reaching ground from the aircraft causes rotation of a bladed rotor connected to the generator shaft. This generator produces electrical energy required for setting off the explosive charge. The electrical energy activates the electromagnetic relay and the current circuit to the explosives initiator is closed.
