Hi does any one know how to set of a rover air bag that is out of the car ?
want to show some kids how explosive thay are cheers Rick

That wouldn't be such a great idea probably. They are controlled via an electric charge...

Cheers

i design & test them, be very careful! I'm sure your more than aware, but they can be very lethal.

As stated in previous post(s), air-bags are deemed to be a class 1 explosive device (Just hope the terrorist don't get wind of this), and as such are supposed to be transported/delivered by secure means (armoured vehicle delivery when not fitted in/to a vehicle.).

I think it requires something like 12 - 20 volt capacitor discharge to fire the explosive charge, stand a good 20m away, and watch quickly, for complete inflation occurs in about 18 micro seconds.

just show them the video
