DescriptionNNSA-NSO-277.jpg | TEAPOT - March 12, 1955- Pictured is one of the remotely-controlled smoke generators used in the March 12, 1955, experiment at Nevada Test Site to determine degree of screening of nuclear weapon thermal radiation obtainable with artificial smoke. The experiment was conducted by the Armed Forces Special Weapons Project for the Army Chemical Corps. The generator, of a conventional pulse-jet type, appears below. A remote-control unit, designed to actuate the generator upon a cable-relayed electrical signal, rests on top of the generator. Not in the picture is the drum used to contain the fog oil which, after vaporization in the generator under heat produced by burning gasoline flame, is dispersed downwind from the generator as white smoke fog. | ||||
