Abstract

Generator for generating electrical ignition or detonation energy in a spin projectile through a piezo element utilizing the spin of the projectile for generating the electrical energy. The piezo element lies against the interior of the projectile shell and is polarized radially relative to the longitudinal axis of the projectile. Preferably, the piezo element is of tubular configuration. A core is radially movably supported interiorly of the projectile shell so as to charge the piezo element during the rotational acceleration of the projectile.
