Remote control release of pressurized container

Post by scallop »

Transmit wireless signal to battery powered receiver, activating solenoid.

Solenoid triggers release of bottles filled with compressed air.

There is no motor just a solenoid. The first stage contains pressurized air and the solenoid, Press button #1 triggering releasing the air in the first stage which opens the clamps holding the pressurized air bottle which is then expelled.

Distance 300 plus yards. clear line of sight. A 'one press' signal to initiate the firing sequence?

Pressing button #1 activates station receiver #1 releasing bottle, from station one. Pressing button #2 activates station receiver #2 releasing bottle, from station two. Release sequence manually cycles through the # of station receivers in the field.

Receiver stations have multiple pressurized bottles. Once button#1 for station #1 is released, button #2 is pressed releasing bottle #2 etc.
On completion of the bottle release stations #1 #2 #3 #4, the transmitter and receiver then repeats the previous action, until all bottles have been released.
