Strange equipment thrown to the road

[whiz115]

Does anyone know what these things can be?
they were found in an open parking outside of a super-market..
I'm very curious and took photos of them as i have never seen such
equipment thrown in the road.

Looks like fried electrolytic capacitors.

Yep looks like cooked 'lytics to me too. Pretty big though, I wonder what they were out of/what happened...

It looks somewhat like a spent battery of aerial bombs used in large fireworks displays... and four of them failed to ignite.

there are 3 of them, indeed they look like capacitors but are they? the white part of that thing that looks like plastic i think it isn't... it looked more to aluminum or something. Also there were some other stuff around that looked like burned ralays. The red label it's kinda like warning for the way the device must be connected.


also notice the date! the device expires on 2009?! or it was built on 2009?

Strange object

How about examining the bottom?

Stepping closer and hearing a definite steady clicking I can tell by experience it's a timed bomb.

If the tops are solid, they can't be fireworks.

However, the arrangement resembles pretty much the flare dispenser of the RF-4 (Phantom)

Arent the flares suppoed to fly, not the dispenser?

w.g.!

Of course the flares do fly. The arrangement of the dispenser is 6X4 pots containing the flare cartridges.

Before firing the lid is closed looking pretty much like the foreign object.

Maybe the mechanics were smoking something and forgot to bolt the arrange-ment securely
