ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an ordnance fuzing device in general and more picularly to a fluidically driven safety and arming mechanism. The present invention also utilizes a fluidically driven electrical generating means capable of transforming pressure energy of a certain magnitude into useable electric energy.
The present device comprises an enclosed volume defining a resonant cavity having an annular column of fluid directed toward such cavity so as to produce oscillations therein. A rod connected to a diaphragm of the cavity senses the oscillations of the cavity and causes a mass located at the tip of the rod to undergo translational motion of an elliptical pattern and thereby to drive a cylindrical smooth gear which is disposed adjacent the mass, such that the elliptical motion of the mass rotates the gear. As an additional feature, the invention further provides for a flexible reed which is joined to the rod to transfer oscillations to a magnetic field so as to produce useable electrical energy.
