Vishay has come out with a new product line known as the Electro-Pyrotechnic Initiator Chip Resistor (EPIC), that is designed to go up in flames." Vishay's New Electro-Pyrotechnic Initiator Chip Resistor is Industry's First to Offer Joule Effect Ignition For Fast Firing Times Down to 50 microseconds, and a No Fire/All Fire Ratio up to 70%These devices are used in military applications for pilot ejection systems, explosive bolt disengagement of airbone missiles, chaff dispensers, artillery projectile activators, anti-tank mines, etc. Commercially, they are used in mining and de-constructions applications." Think of the fun the people at Hack A Day or Make Magazine could have with some these.
