Each pull
of the trigger fires a 1 litre ball of water at very high speed. Three
firings are sufficient to put out a cabin fire in a car.
Not to be recommended for use on a Jensen, as the demonstration put very
large dents in a substantial oil drum.
Mike - sounds like a great solution to those 'bumper-sniffers' that follow too close. Mount it under the rear bumper pointed a little upwards, and wire a solenoid to a dash mounted button!
Other opaque substances would be possible for the hard to discourage!
Closest I have ever actually come to this sort of thing was an MG with a spark plug and coil mounted under it, at the end of the tailpipe (not my car, I hasten to add). Switch off at open throttle for a moment or two, and then switch on - this did two things, caused a couple of feet of flame and a loud bang to be emitted from the rear of the car, dissuading those following too closely, and with a week's use or so, caused all of the baffling to also be emitted from the tailpipe.
Memories!
