ABSTRACT:
A spring loaded lever is tied down by a resistor and released when an over supply of voltage is applied to the resistor from a command source. The lever can have a string attached to it such that it will open a container when the resistor breaks. Or the lever can have a weight on it which will break a rod which is being used to tie down a load. A rod can be a fuse such that when the fuse is broken an electrical signal can be generated to give an indication of the release.
