Damn , better hope somebody starts remaking them , could save a lot of problems if you could just hook it up and replace the smoke , maybe top it up occasionally just to be sure ....

A .22 bullet fits nicely in the fuse holder. 8)

is that a high tensile bolt and do you use the washer and nut or just a nylock nut

A 22 bullet has a muzzle velocity of about 550 feet per second but without a rigid container and a barrel to make sure the proectile only travels in a forward direct that then means that the equal and opposition reaction theory will apply in its extreme.

The projectile will shoot forward at about 275 feet per second while the shell casing will shoot rearwards at about 275 feet per second.

Just trivia - no further implications implied

Smooth bore or rifled? Subsonic, high velocity or hyper velocity round? 40, 36 or 30 grain round? Long or short cartridge? Cold or warm day?

Thats way to slow

22LR muzzle velocity rimbore rifled
subsonic 330metres/sec Mach 0.9
high velocity 350metres/sec Mach 1.1
hyper velocity 500metres/sec Mach 1.8

Not trivia if you target shoot

How many amps do you need to blow one? :?

Wow..With a 97 amp nail fuse, it would never break! :roll:

You want run current across a live 22 round and tell us

I have seen rounds in a fire exploding so I know heat will work. I dont know just how much heat you actually need and how much amperage you need to create that heat.

I rather expect all other wiring would let its smoke escape and stop carrying current before enough heat is developed to cause a round to explode.

I am not going to test my theory though

Mythbusters tested this one a long time ago , it did work but I can't remember if they had to rewire the fuse box with heavier wire or not ...

They had to rewire it and boost it, but yes they managed under extreme conditions to get it to fire in a Ford F100 (hillbilly mercedes).

I have found much mirth in both of those links!

The Sparkies now have a copy of the fuse selection chart on their wall, and a copy of the lucas smoke has been added to the workshop manual.
