    • 877,392. Self-propelled rockets. UNITED STATES ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION. Feb. 17, 1960 [March 3, 1959], No. 5595/60. Class 9(2). To propel a vehicle 11 such as a rocket, nuclear bombs are ejected and exploded at timed intervals, a series of thrusts being imparted to the rocket through plastic sheets 21. Each bomb has a housing 17 held in a rack 19 by bell-cranks 23 operatively connected to the plungers 28 of pneumatic cylinders 29. Each cylinder is connected through a valve 30 to a gas reservoir 31, each valve being hermetically sealed until forced open by explosive means as in U.S.A. Specification 2,515,068, the valves being electrically connected to a cam-operated rotary switch 41 controlled by a timer 39. Each bomb housing is connected by a flexible steel cable 35 to a sheet 21 surrounding a slotted guide 38. Thus, as the detonators of the valves are fired successively, the bomb housings are successively ejected. A latch 22 projecting from one of the supporting bell-cranks moves a toggle switch 26 on the bomb 17 as it is ejected, to start a timer 50 controlling a cam-operated switch 52, so that, a predetermined time after ejection, the switch 52 closes and fires a detonator 53. On explosion of the bomb by the detonators 53 the associated plastic sheet 21 is vaporised and the vapour produced propels the rocket.
