When I become a dictator I will order the creation of smart mines that look like regular anti-tank mines that behave exactly in that way so every time a nerd complains, another nerd will point to my mines. I will make all sorts of things that work on movie logic like that.
>>
>>64677685
I don't think there's actually any mines that use a pressure-release fuse.
>>
>>64678401
S-mine is the source of this elusive pressure release mine trope. It has 4s delay and can easily be confused to pressure release trigger, instead of instant with delay, since it "activates" after you have lifted your foot off it
>>
>mine is designed to look like a childs toy and is easily dispersed by air
>>
>>64678485
Technically it activates anyway but you still have a 4 second delay to get down.

The thing is US wartime Propaganda, in an attempt to make people stop being so afraid of those mines, pushed the "If you keep your foot on it, it won't go off."

Funny thing because these mines bounced and exploded in a horizontal cone, if you dived right below where the mine was planted you'd miss all the shrapnel.

Finnish AT mine goes off with 150kg weight. Amerifat would make the whole 9,5kg's of TNT go BOOM.
>>
>>64678716
150kg of pressure not 150kg of weight. Meaning if you press your foot down on it, it will trigger

Kilograms are a measure of mass, which is effectively the same thing as weight on Earth until someone develops gravity manipulation tech. It is not a measure of pressure.
>>
>>64680337
Well actually weight is measured by Newtons. That's the unit of weight. It's how much force an object exerts on solid ground.

Kilograms are measured via a balancing scale, with kilogram massed objects on one end and the measured object on the other. This measuring process works the same in any gravitational field. It will find a 2kg brick to be 2kg on earth, the moon or an asteroid.

>>64680380
I know you think you're very clever, but that's actually exactly what I said in my first sentence.
>>
>>64680387
Suuure you did.
>>
>>64680388
Notice how I lead with "Kilograms are a measure of mass," indicating that I understand the difference between weight and mass? To which you responded "Well actually weight is measured by Newtons," which is a complete non sequitor, since this fact has nothing to do with the fact that kilograms are a measure of mass. And then I followed up by saying "[mass] is effectively the same thing as weight on Earth until someone develops gravity manipulation tech," since weight is mass times acceleration due to gravity, and gravity is more or less a constant 9.8 m/s^2, and therefore anywhere you go on earth, an object that's 1.2 times more massive than another is also 1.2 times heavier.

>>64680396
I haven't replied anything
>>64680337
Yes it's measure of mass, but the mine activates by the force exerted upon it. Similiar to when you do a grip strength measurement.
>>
>>64680421
Which would be weight and not pressure. A grip strength measurement is typically force rather than pressure; I'm not aware of any that measure the surface area of your hand and I'm not sure what the advantage of doing so would be. Weight is actually a special case of force, which is why you'll often seen thrust measured in pounds-force or kilograms-force.
>>
>>64680429
1. Your Weight (Force of Gravity): \(F_{g}=m\times g\) (mass x 9.8 m/s2)

2.(F_{takeoff}-F_{g}=m\times a

3.Example: A 75 kg physicist measured a force of over 1000 Newtons (about 2.3 times his weight) from the floor during a jump using a force plate.

sry about the shit explanation but it's impossible to format

S-Mine was the original Bouncing Betty. Jumps up and then detonates to send out the shrapnel horizontally.
>>
>>64680440
LaTeX implementation when?
>>
>>64680399
It's about 9.78 m/s2 near the equator and about 9.83 m/s2 near the poles. That's a 0.5% difference. Quite significant.
>>
>>64678485
Why would a mine be designed with a delay
>>
>>64680545
They aren't. Anti personal mines, even the s-mine, have no delay.
Some vehicle mines had a delay so they would hit the main body and not just the front.

Because, with some type of mine, you don't want the "target" to still stand on top of it when it goes of. Let's take the german S-Mine that >>64680561 mentioned as an example. It in fact has a 4,5 second delay before going off. The thing with these mines is that they don't work like >>64678599 painted it. So Saddam Hussein wouldn't be safe. Imagine a handgranade that sits in the ground. You walk through a wire, or step on the mine or whatever trigger was used on it. Now the "grenade" waits for a couple of seconds and then it jumps out of the ground to approximately 1 meter and that's where it explodes, right there, next to your crotch. That's why we called them "castration mines".
The S-Mine has a second delay for it to finally explode in mid air, while other bouncing mines use a wire between the jumping part and the cup that launches it.

Anti tank mines have very heavy triggers.

First thing that comes to mind would be the soviet SM-3. Not really a mine, but rather a "don't move this object" device. It looks very similar to the soviet PMN mine.
Pic related, MS-3 on the left, PMN on the right.
You put an object with the weight of 5kg or larger on it. Pull the pin. Congratulations, you will never lift the object again.
Not sure what would happen if you just pull the pin without a weight on it though.

MS-3 of course. Sorry for being a retard.
