What is the connection between Milutin Milanković and cannon ball that made our fate? (PHOTO)
It has survived many wars, as well as civil as in world wars, it changed the course of history and the lives of peoples, and not many know that it was patented by our famous Milutin Milankovic! Yes, in far 1933, as a college professor, our famous scientist found his place among the patent papers with his anti air cannon ball.
There is no one who does not know what cannonball is although today "is used" probably only in games or to mark some important anniversaries when we are afraid of blunt and strong sound you hear when you fell out of a cannon.
Milankovitc cannonball is intended, as stated in the file of a patent fight against the "airplane" and the air liners. It consisted of front and rear that are embedded into each other.
The front part of the cannonball has a shape and composition of the devastating shells, what was used even then to form an anti air artillery. It consists of the outer shell, lighter, and a lighter inner explosive charge . The lighter is time based, with a watch and a mixture of appliance and is connected by a narrow tube to the rear of cannon grains. This tube is filled with easily ignitable mixture to transfer the flame to the rear of the grain. That last part, consists of a drum in addition to the powder and explosive grains.
The effect of such grains is this: Cannon grain is arranged so that after a certain explosion we get a devastating shell, which will be when the time tiger is put a explosion, it will burst in great number of little pieces.
Six explosive grains of smaller caliber have to be ready with a striking lighter in contact with the enemy plane and to explode and this would destroy or significantly damage the plane, and they are provided with a time fuse, which will make them, if you miss the target, before they reach the ground, harmless for their own troops. The drum has a purpose to mark the medium trajectory of all the above listed grains and also acts as a grain harmful to the enemy plane.
Milankovic wanted to increase with this mechanism probability of a hit and its lethality of used cannon ball grain.
We believe, such as it is, had it's full fame during the World War II when it was used the most.
