Lol, I call uncle... I don't know what else you're looking for.

It's an AAD (automatic activation device). It activates your reserve if you get above xxxx mph in your rate of descent when you get to a certain altitude. The metal "sensor" thing is actually the cutter. The cutter cuts away your main.

Yes. It is a Cypres AAD. It releases your reserve parachute by cutting the closing loop that is keeping things closed. It senses altitude and rate of descent and of course, saves lives (hence its "medical" purpose ) It "knows" when you are going too fast to be under a good parachute, if any.

Hmmm, upon further reading it does NOT cut away the main , but close enough. This one has gone on long enough

 

[jeninga75]

How about something a little more organic this time... these bits and pieces of contraptions and gadgets are not my thing.

That looks like a bad photo of the eyepiece of a NOD.

Or possilby a picture of a glass of Mountain Dew, photographed in the dark illuminated by a small flashlight.

 

[YT2095]

it was taken in the dark with minimal light so I could see.

[pacanis]

Probably waaaaay off here, but.........the moon?
It sort of looks like green cheese

 

[YT2095]

nope not the moon

 

[VaporTrail]

It's not a Spinthariscope is it?

Container of Tritium?

 

[YT2095]

not a spin-that-thar-thingy, but it would work in conjunction with one.

it`s not Tritium, but it IS in a container.

 

[YT2095]

well anyway, Happy to keep you Amused for a while, I`m going to have to go now for a while (it`s night time and I need to feed).
