Hello everyone.
I am finding it very difficult finding BASIC information on these German bomb fuzes. Everything I look at seems to assume that you are quite up on the old electronics and stuff! So this is what I want to know. I am niot after info on the clockwork parts or anti handling devices etc, just the electronic bits such as the 15 and 25.
How is the initaial charge put into the fuzes? I have read that they were charged via a cap and lead as the bombs left the plane, but would this be a massive charge blast into the resistors that then trickle down into the capacitors? How long did it take for the initial charge to go through? What keeps the circuit open to allow the current to flow through the resistors and into the capasitors? How does this work exactly?
Sorry for all these questions, but electronics is something I struggle getting my head around. Can someone explain this to me as if I were a small child, preferebly with a few diagrams?
Thanks everyone.
