How does a bazooka work?
The bazooka is not special in itself, it is that rocket it fires that is special. inside the rocket there is a cone, and inside that cone is some superheated copper, when the rocket hits the vehicle the cone snaps inside-out shooting a spray of superheated copper through the armour of the vehicle, it is generally used to create a hole in the vehicle, not destroy it. Air is sucked out of the bazooka and there is a seal at the end where the ammunition is fired. Then when you fire the weapon the seal at the end is released and the cone or whatever the ammunition is used flies through the air hitting the target aimed at.
Why were they called green police?
The Green Police was another name for the Gestapo during and before WWII. They were Nazi secret police that were in charge of internal security, together with the SS they caught and imprisoned Jews and other unwanted people.The modern Green Police are an environmental task force comprised of collaborative law enforcement groups assembled to crack down on emissions in large USmetropolitan cities.It is assembled as the active arm of political debates amongst policy holders in the fight against climate change. Also, it is seen by agencies as some of the first real world action in the United States since the discussion in Copenhagen.In the UK, the Green Police, based in Warrington, Cheshire, have the authority to call on the Environmental Agency's national network of hundreds of pollution inspectors, many of whom will soon be trained in CO2 monitoring. The Green Police will also be able to demand energy bills from utilities without having to inform the companies that they are being monitored. If that's not enough, the green police will also publish an annual league table ranking companies by their performance in cutting emissions. The intent is to "shame" companies into better energy efficiency.In the United States, CAP & Tradelegislation would mandate that "Green Police"/Government Agencies would have the right to Inspect your home. They would do the inspection every year at random and will not only charge you for the inspection, but fine you if you exceed a "carbon footprint". Should you decide not to pay them, or not have the funds, they will declare it "Unlawful" to reside in your own home. The reasoning behind this is not to protect the environment, but make the World Bank & International Monetary Fund & Rothschilds very wealthy.This Energy Policy Act is part of Cap & Trade Legislation.Verbatim Below:The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6304).'(2) Each day of unlawful occupancy shall be considered a separate violation."Read the Bill For Yourself, Don't listen to media on either side.
What Makes A Satchel Charge?
A satchel charge is a demolition device, primarily intended for combat, whose primary components are a charge of dynamite or a more potent explosive such as C-4 plastic explosive, a carrying device functionally similar to a satchel or messenger bag, and a triggering mechanism; the term covers both improvised and formally designed devices. In World War II, combat engineers used satchel charges to demolish heavy stationary targets such as rail, obstacles, blockhouses, bunkers, caves, and bridges. The WWII-era U.S. Army M37 Demolition Kit contained 8 blocks of high explosive, with 2 priming assemblies, in a canvas bag with a shoulder strap. Part or all of this charge could be placed against a structure or slung into an opening. It was usually detonated with a pull igniter. When used as an anti-tank weapon, one- to two-kg charges were sufficient to severely damage the tracks. Four-kg charges were enough to destroy medium tanks. Military engineers have been using explosives since the invention of gunpowder, working alongside front-line troops in extremely hazardous conditions. During World War I, to overcome the bloody stalemate of trench warfare, engineers dug tunnels under enemy positions, packed them with explosives, and detonated these "mines" in attempts to breach enemy lines. Although the Battle of the Somme opened with the explosion of two such mines, the most dramatic use occurred at Messines, Belgium, where 19 mines containing 470 long tons of explosives were simultaneously detonated, causing 16,000 dead or missing German casualties and demolishing huge sections of German trenches and fortifications. The more fluid nature of warfare in World War II meant that demolition explosives would play a much smaller role, although German paratroopers used regular explosives and shaped charges to spectacular effect in their assault on the fortress of Eben Emael in Belgium. Here, a small, highly trained units landed in gliders on the fortress and neutralized the fortress guns that guarded a key approach to be used by the German army at the start of the Blitzkrieg in 1940. Demolitions were also used to clear anti-tank obstacles or barbed wire ahead of an assault. In a defensive role, demolitions could be used to destroy bridges or military installations, especially ports, to slow an advancing army. Much of the skill in using explosives comes from knowing where and how to place them. To destroy hardened structures, a charge has to have its blast directed inwards, towards the structure. If simply placed onto or next to the target, the majority of the explosive force is lost, as it is directed harmlessly away from the target and into the air. Tamping the explosives, typically with sandbags, is the answer to this problem. Heavy sandbags packed around the explosive charge concentrate the force of the explosion toward the target, vastly increasing its destructive potential. In World War II, satchels were sometimes used to carry or secure explosives. These were normally simply bags with handles, similar to briefcases used to carry documents. These "satchel charges" were made up in relative safety with a pre-determined amount of explosives, then carried to their target, placed carefully, and tamped - often under fire. The engineer could detonate the explosives with a safety fuse, with a flash fuse on a timer, or with an electric charge sent through wires from a plunger or twist generator operated from a safe distance. The explosive force and weight of a infantry-borne explosive charges can range from 100 g (3.5 oz) to several kilograms of explosive. German troops often used six stick-grenade heads secured around a seventh, which they colloquially called the Geballte Ladung (clenched charge), confusingly the same name officially applied to standard demolitions TNT containers. The seven grenades combined to supply 1.155 kg (2.55 lb) of TNT. Using a satchel charge against enemy armour was a hit-or-miss affair. The soldier would try to toss the satchel charge onto or under the tank from very close range. In order to be vulnerable to such an attack, the tank would usually have to be slowed or halted or have its maneuverability reduced by obstacles or terrain such as an urban setting. Targeting the engine deck was effective as blast and/or hot gases could pass through the cooling grills and enter the engine compartment, where fuel fumes might ignite. Such a result would most likely destroy the engine and the fire could detonate on-board ammunition and brew up the tank. Lucky hits aside, satchel charges proved most effective against tank tracks. Placed in or under the track, they would break the track and probably damage running gear. In most cases, these immobilized tanks retained their armament, becoming, in effect, pillboxes. If a satchel landed anywhere else on the tank, it would have little chance of doing serious damage - perhaps minor fittings, aerials, and the like might be destroyed. With luck, a sub-optimally placed satchel charge might produce spall inside a tank, concuss the crew, or injure someone directly opposite the detonation point. If a charge exploded on top of a hatch, it might blow the hatch open, allowing a soldier to drop a grenade into the tank. During the Winter War, Finnish General Headquarters studied the effectiveness of its anti-tank kasapanos (piled charge). It noted in February 1940 that 1.0-2.0 kg (2.2-4.4 lb) of TNT was sufficient to sever the track of a tank if blown under or next to the track. A charge of 2.0 kg (4.4 lb) could destroy vehicles of around 6 tonnes, 3.0 kg (6.6 lb) was sufficient to destroy 12-tonne vehicles, and 4.0 kg (8.8 lb) was sufficient for 30-tonne vehicles such as the Soviet T-28 medium tank. According to the Finns, 6.0 kg (13.2 lb) of explosives was powerful enough to knock out any Soviet tank of 1940 vintage, provided a soldier could get close enough to place it where it could do damage, on the tank's rear deck. Destroying a tank with a satchel charge any other way was extremely difficult, as the charge could not be tamped and so much of the explosive force was lost. Some success was scored by soldiers who lay in trenches and allowed a tank to pass overhead, then secured explosives to the weaker underside armour of the tank with adhesive. When this worked, it would incapacitate the crew with over-pressurisation rather than disable the tank itself. Despite whatever theoretical effectiveness explosive charges had in stopping armoured vehicles, they had many disadvantages. In general, high explosives were confined to engineering stores. Soldiers had to be trained in their use and bricks of TNT (or the equivalent) were not standard infantry issue. Furthermore, the attacker needed to just about crawl on top or beneath an enemy tank to make an attack. Because of these drawbacks, and limited opportunities, successes against tanks rarely occurred. Until the introduction of infantry anti-tank weapons such as the Panzerfaust (tank fist), PIAT (Projector Infantry Anti Tank), and bazooka, anti-armour defence depended on crewed anti-tank guns. Using a satchel charge to take out a tank was a desperate move forced by the absence of more effective anti-tank weapons. Satchel charges were not the only improvised anti-tank weapons. Molotov cocktails, which contained petrol, a thickener, and a fuse, and other fire-based weapons could succeed if they set the vehicle's engine afire or somehow found their way into the fighting compartment. "Military Training Pamphlet No. 42: Tank Hunting and Destruction", a British Army publication produced in August 1940, included even more desperate measures. It suggests that a team of four can take out tanks with a length of railway track, a blanket, a bucket of petrol, and matches. The team was to hide in an alleyway or alongside a house where the tank is expected to pass. Two men hold the railway track with the blanket draped over it. As the tank passes the hiding place, these two run out and jam the railway track into the tank's suspension. The third man throws the bucket of petrol over the blanket, now entangled in the track, and the fourth sets it on fire. Another plan from that booklet is for a single man with a hammer and hand grenade to station himself near the expected route of a tank. When the tank passes, the man is to jump onto the passing tank and pound on the turret hatch with the hammer. When the tank commander opens the hatch to find out what is going on, the attacker is to drop the hand grenade inside. There is no record of these tactics ever being attempted. At the start of World War II, all countries had standard demolitions explosives. Great Britain used guncotton, which was issued in tin cases containing 14 1.0-lb (0.45-kg) slabs in the explosive's wet form for demolitions purposes and in boxes of six tin tubes that each contained ten primers in the dry form for detonators, and ammonal, a less violent explosive that was issued in tins of 2.5, 25, and 50 lb (1.1, 11, and 22.7 kg). Germany's Geballte Ladung, TNT contained in a watertight zinc container, was issued in standard sizes of 1.0, 3.0, and 10.0 kg (2.2 lb. 6.6 lb, and 22.0 lb) although other, smaller 100-g (3.5-oz) and 200-g (7.1 oz) charges existed for specialized work. As the war progressed, more powerful explosives developed. The Allies developed RDX (Research Department Explosive) which was later used as the base of plastic explosive and which was also used to fill the blockbuster aerial bombs. Germany developed aluminised explosives that greatly increased the temperature of detonation (and thus blast effect) and eliminated the need for an incendiary component in their cannon Minengeschoss (mine projectile), and Nipolit, an explosive of high mechanical strength that could be cut, shaped, or milled like hard plastic. The Allied Bangalore Torpedo and the German Rohrladung (tubing charge) were small-diameter tubes filled with explosive that were used to clear barbed wire. Several tubes could be clipped together end to end, then pushed under the wire and detonated to clear a path through the wire obstacle. The Munroe effect of a shaped charge - producing a supersonic blast of gas and molten metal - was well known and employed by all combatants early in the war. Great Britain and France had effective anti-tank rifle grenades in 1940 and German refinements led to the Hafthohlladung (detention hollow charge), a magnetically attached anti-tank weapon that ranged in size from 2-10 kg (4.4-22 lb), in 1942. The Hafthohlladung could also be attached to a concrete blockhouse by a length of chain to blast a hole through the wall. Another version of this was the Abstandsladung (spacer charge) H15, which was fitted with folding legs and was used for attacking armour plate and reinforced concrete in static defences. Great Britain developed three types of shaped charges: the Beehive Charge that was used for burning holes through concrete or armour plate, etc; the Hayrick Charge, a linear charge that was used for cutting the reinforcing bars in concrete, etc; and the arched or General Wade Charge, which was an arched linear charge that would give a combined cutting and pressure effect. As the war progressed, ranged shaped-charge weapons such as the US bazooka, the British PIAT, and the German Panzerfaust evolved. Germany developed a series of remotely controlled vehicles that could deliver an explosive charge under fire, and the British produced the Gammon grenade, basically a grenade whose explosive filling could be added as and when required, and developed HESH (High Explosive Squash Head) for use against fortifications, although it today serves as the UK's preferred anti-armour round.
Is thin handles on a heavy carrier bag an example of forces creating high pressure?
Yes, it's a force of high pressure making; the carrier bags easier to carry by having thin handles on the bags.
What is an aviation electrician?
aviation electrician handles wiring of aircraft, as opposed to "avionics" technician who handles the aircraft electronics, the "metalsmith" who handle the "skin" ie aluminum etc and structural parts; and the aircraft mechanics who handle the power plants, ie jet engines or piston engines; and then more defined hydraulic specialists, etc.

Who handles frauds and scams in thepost office of Ottawa?
You would contact your mail carrier for that city, and also the local court.
What are the various applications of fiberglass tube?
There are many uses. They're used in HAM radios, ultralight aircraft, tool handles, and tents.
How do I find out which phone company handles my long distance?
The long distance carrier should be listed separately on your phone bill. If not, you can call your phone company and ask who it is.
Why is it so hard to carry shopping bags?
The weight is not distributed well in a bag that has handles on the top. The whole weight is centred on the handles which are normally thin and can, because of the weight factor cut in to the hands. For bags which are more sack line (they have no handles) these present other challenges as they become heavey, and the weight has to be supported from below and pulled in to the body of the carrier to maintain equal pressure
Is glidepath one or two words?
If you are referring to the corporation that handles baggage and luggage in airports, GlidePath is their name. If you are referring to the path of descent of an aircraft, then it is glide path, two words.
What handles can you hold in your hand?
All of them, they are handles.
Who will direct a plane at take off and landing?
At a large airport that handles commercial aircraft, the first controller that the pilot contacts is the ground controller. That controller is stationed in the control tower and directs the movement of the aircraft from the gate to the end of the runway. The pilot then contacts the local controller who directs traffic on the runways and in the local vicinity of the airport. The local controller is also in the control tower and clears the aircraft for takeoff. After the aircraft is airborne, the pilot contacts the departure controller who locates the aircraft on RADAR and directs the aircraft out of the terminal area. At that point, the pilot contacts the Air Route Traffic Control Center. Center then locates the aircraft on RADAR and directs it to the terminal area of the airport at which the aircraft will land. Center "hands off" the aircraft to the approach controller who locates the aircraft on RADAR and guides it to the final approach course of the runway that will be used for the landing. When the aircraft is on final approach, the approach controller will hand the aircraft off to the local controller who clears the aircraft to land. When the aircraft has landed and has taxied clear of the runway, the pilot contacts the ground controller who directs the aircraft to the gate.
