  After WWII my father built one of the first countermeasures to the proximity fuse. He simply used a wide-band "distributed amplifier" to rebroadcast any signal received by the plane. They put the prototype on a drone towed by an aircraft. The army shot shells at it all day. All detonated prematurely. The conventional proximity fuse was withdrawn from service.

  Russia's ineffectiveness on the battlefield today is partly due to lack of proximity-fuzed artillery. And let's not downplay the substantial logistical effort it took for all those women working in those factories to put their hair in curlers every single day

  Surprised the Dry Cell batteries had such a short life, so I'm assuming they drew current when doing nothing unless dry cells were totally rubbish back then? So .. could they not have done something that when the high G came, completed the circuit, similar to the "broken ampule" but no doubt simpler?

  It's amazing to think that NOW, my rear bike light can identify the proximity of cars approaching and communicate their distances and speed to my watch and phone. It's sensitive enough to detect other cyclists approaching me. Technology moves ever onwards!

  VT fuzes did not use "radar" as per the presenters commentary. They used a simplistic Q-detuning, in a superheterodyne receiver, which acted as sensor of local metal. Similar to what is used now in induction-heaters, ans similar such devices. I worked on these in the 70's, and then later on "actual radar" fusing & range-finding.

  @ronmccabe7164 Жыл бұрын

  I had never heard of the proximity fuse development during WW2. I was scratching my head during this talk of how they could use one tube, generate a radar signal, receive it ?superhetrodyne? the received signal and then use Doppler shift to determine distance. That was surely impossible. The Q detuning makes obvious sense! Thanks.

  I enjoyed your talk very much. I googled Tuve's Standing Orders and didn't find them. If you could point to a place to find them I would appreciate it. We are fascinated by the technology; I'm fascinated by technology leadership - how does someone like Tuve get the best out of others.

  Great presentation, but I wish the sound capture was a little better for the questions at the end. There was a comment on "tungsten" and use of the material - anyone know the fuller question regarding its use? Was it for material properties or for increased shrapnel lethality? Minor nits - I believe inflation would have been closer to 14x rather than the 100x mentioned re: $800K/$80M from 1942 to 2016, and the state of Hawaii code is HI, not HA.

  Just came across this video. It was very helpful and informative. I have a question, though, would you suggest USMMA as a route to becoming an EOD officer? USNA and EOD were my two primary goals up until recently when I heard more about Kings Point and became more interested in it because of the Sea Cruise, and its smaller class size. Is EOD easier/more difficult to get into through USMMA vs USNA? Also, how do the academics compare between the two schools? Any information regarding EOD and the Academies would be greatly appreciated.

  "Rauch-Boom" was a slang term most often applied to to the Soviet F-22 76.2mm Pushka (AKA PaK36(r)) by German soldiers after June '41, due to the sound it made when firing. A goodly number was captured (tens of thousands), modified, and employed* against Soviet, UK, and US, forces. This is the first time I've heard it-"Rauch-Boom"- applied to anything else. Most interesting. * www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/germany/7.62cm_Pak-36_r-Auf-5t-Zugkraftwagen-SdKfz.6-3.php * en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marder_II
