ReplyDeleteThe Poilu cooking his dinner with electricity from a railway catenary.... did they actually try this? What could possibly go wrong?
ReplyDeleteIn the Nam we used a small hunk about the size of a golf ball of C4 from a Claymore Mine to heat a C ration can. It burned very fast and hot; one had to be alert as to not scorch the contents. The canabalized Claymore had enough C4 for multiple cooking sessions.
