Tony B Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 A Dalex on a budget? Seriously, it appears to be a sismic device. Either a detector, or an active device to detonate mines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 OK so we have vibration damping mounts strapped to a B**dy great pice of concrete. So either the gadget moves, OR it must be isolated to pick up specfic vibration, such as.....a nuclear explosion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antarmike Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 It seems to be electrially powered, with a long power cable. So the generator must be sited some distance from this object. Either to isolate it from the generator, or so the object can be sited somewhere where the geneartor cannot go. Is this item water proofed and normally used under water?

antarmike Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 By the size of the cable, I would guess power in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either to isolate it from the generator, or so the object can be sited somewhere where the geneartor cannot go. There is equipment at some distance but it is not a generator. Is this item water proofed and normally used under water?Yes, Lee was on the right track at the outset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
