Once exposed 'lone ranger' how huang jiguang flare is lighting? - China lighting network

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the victory in the war to resist. We should not forget, more than 70 years ago our combat hero huang jiguang give the enemy guns. Is happening so tragic hero of the story, why is led by huang jiguang team prostrate moved toward the enemy bunker, its action is the enemy and flare radiation exposure, under enemy fire machine, heavy casualties, huang jiguang had to make a feat. The flare is how? Flare inside a special lighting device, containing lighting agent. It contains metal fuel, oxides and several kinds of material such as glue. Metal fuel is mainly made of magnesium powder and aluminum powder. Magnesium powder and aluminum powder burns, can produce thousands of degrees of high temperature, emit bright light. Oxide is barium nitrate and sodium nitrate, they can release a large amount of oxygen during burning, accelerate the magnesium, aluminum powder burning, enhance luminous intensity. Adhesives are mostly using natural drying oil, rosin, shellac and other ingredients, it can holds in a potion of slow-burning role, ensure lighting agent has certain burning time. Lighting agent on lighting box, the box bottom connection with parachute. Embodiment in the air as a 'lightsaber' as flare ( Pictures from Internet) After the flare was launched into a predetermined airspace, start time of the projectile fuze ignition, ignition lighting agent, incandescent light on the earth. Flare can continue to burn for a period of time. At this point, their can quickly observe enemy deployment, to observe the effect of their shooting, shooting correcting deviation, so as to ensure the accuracy of the attack. Defense, the flare can also be used for reconnaissance, search for the enemy, to facilitate our timely monitoring activities of the enemy. Flare light is very bright, arise from the caliber flares in the light, brightness can reach 40 - 500000 candles, duration of 25 - 35 seconds, can lighting within 1 km of the goal. In battle, but with the help of a flare of light and quickly identify the enemy's deployment, to observe the effect of our shooting, shooting correcting deviation, to ensure the accuracy of attack; In defence, can timely monitoring the enemy's activity. Many different kinds of flare, in addition to the artillery with flare, also appeared a lighting bombs, rockets flares, grenades, lighting grenade and illumination mines, etc. The launch of its good ways. Can from the plane, also can launch from the grenade launcher. Some tactics in times of need, behind have a parachute. In order to increase the illumination time is, in order to achieve tactical objectives. YanZhiXiang
