After Anzio, the Germans occupied defensive positions known as the Winter Line, consisting of bunkers, barbed wire, minefields and ditches. Trapped, surrounded, and with German bombers raining explosives down on them, Russians soldiers surrendered in large numbers. Though the tank had been built larger and heavier, its engines were not updated which further reduced Churchill's already slow speed from 16 mph to More than a quarter of a million Russian soldiers were killed, injured, or captured, 10 times the number of German casualties.

Dedication This year we have seen a significant increase in the number of injuries sustained by our State and local counterparts in the law enforcement and fire service communities. The dangers inherent to their line of work are a given; however, the ever-changing environment in which they work has increased these dangers. Booby-trapped drug operations and illicit explosives manufac­ turing operations are but a few of the criminal activities that present such dangers, not only to them but to the public as well.

  • A Multidisciplinary Investigation of Medieval Flamethrowers: a Case Study
    A Multidisciplinary Investigation of Medieval Flamethrowers: A Case Study Neel, W. Wayne1, Hardin, Jon-Michael2 Abstract - Multidisciplinary projects provide a unique opportunity to foster critical thinking in undergraduate engineering students and to help students develop an understanding of the design process. These types of projects can also motivate student interest in the engineering design process. In this paper, the authors will present a case study of one such interdisciplinary project, which combined engineering analysis and a study of technological history, conducted by an undergraduate mechanical engineering student. The student investigated three different designs for a hand-held flamethrower that projected a highly flammable liquid, known as Greek fire. For this project, a student used historical accounts to design, construct, and test each of three flamethrower designs to determine the feasible operation for each. This work concentrated on the student’s ascertaining the similarities and differences between the three designs and on the student’s developing effective operating and valve systems. The original project was to investigate Chinese and Byzantine designs, but during the project, information in the Arab design was obtained and that design was also constructed by the student. [Englehart, 3] Keywords: Flamethrower, Byzantine, Chinese, Arab, medieval. Introduction Warfare in the Byzantine Empire between the 7th and 11th centuries CE saw the development of weapons systems using fire. Partially responsible for this revolution in weapons was the creation of a highly flammable liquid by the Syrian architect Callinicos in 7th century CE. [Davidson, 2] This was known as liquid fire, later referred to as Greek fire. Greek fire was utilized in one particularly effective weapon, the flamethrower.

  • Flamethrowers
    02-Absinthe_body-em(111-208):Gurstelle 3/25/09 2:36 PM Page 175 13 Flamethrowers othing attracts the attention of those within the Golden NThird quite like a flamethrower. I’ve placed this material at the back of the book for a reason: it’s something to build up to. The first time I saw a flamethrower in action was when my friend Christian Ristow brought his flamethrower-equipped robot to a midnight machine art festival in a Phoenix junkyard. My son, Andy, was with me, and neither of us will ever forget the roar and the light and the heat of the 20-foot-long tongue of flame that Ristow’s flamethrower could project. Now I have my own flamethrower, and it generates a frisson of excitement in all who see it work. Better yet, it fills me with pride at my ability to safely craft and use something like this. Much of what I include in this chapter, I learned from alumni of the robotic art group called Survival Research Labs. This San Francisco–based ensemble pretty much wrote the book on fire- based performance art. SRL has had its ups and downs, having been banned for life from several countries and kicked out of several cities—mostly for violating local fire codes with perform- ances that invariably include giant robots sporting giant flamethrowers. 175 02-Absinthe_body-em(111-208):Gurstelle 3/25/09 2:36 PM Page 176 176 ✹ Absinthe & Flamethrowers Aside from artistic pretensions, flamethrowers have their practical side.
