  2. Mercury switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_switch

    A mercury switch is an electrical switch that opens and closes a circuit when a small amount of the liquid metal mercury connects metal electrodes to close the circuit. There are several different basic designs (tilt, displacement, radial, etc.) but they all share the common design strength of non-eroding switch contacts. The most common is the ...

  3. Tilt fuze - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt_fuze

    The tilt fuze is typically a home-made mercury switch. It consists of a small tube no larger than a medical tablet bottle, made from plastic, glass or some other such material. [1] At the bottom end of the tube, a certain volume of mercury is placed, while at the cap end are wired two live electrical contacts linked to a battery and bomb. [2]

    The two contacts pass through the glass, and are connected by the mercury when the bulb is tilted to make the mercury roll on to them. This type of switch performs much better than the ball tilt switch, as the liquid metal connection is unaffected by dirt, debris and oxidation, it wets the contacts ensuring a very low resistance bounce-free ...

  5. Anti-handling device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-handling_device

    Tilt/vibration switches — this is a fuze installed inside the device which triggers detonation if the sensor is tilted beyond a certain angle or is subject to any vibration. Typically, some form of pendulum arrangement, spring-loaded "trembler" or mercury switch is used to detect this.

  6. Mercury relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_relay

    Normally closed mercury relay, with coil around top of tube and adjustable angle. A mercury relay (mercury displacement relay, mercury contactor) is a relay that uses mercury as the switching element. They are used as high-current switches or contactors, where contact erosion from constant cycling would be a problem for conventional relay contacts.
