Abstract

A low-profile generator contained within a housing and suitable for energizing electrical bomb fuzes is disclosed. A generating device attaches to an inside surface of a hinged cover. The cover pivots between a closed position where the generating device cannot engage a fluid flow and an open position where fluid flow causes a turbine to rotate and the generating device to produce electricity. Several safeguards are provided each of which tend to prohibit an unwanted opening of the cover.
