Description

Simplified diagram showing typical layout of Livens Projector embedded in the ground at an angle of 45°, with gas drum loaded ready for firing, World War I.
The thin electric leads run from the fuse in the base of the tube, up the inside of the tube and from the barrel mouth to an electric generator.
When the generator plunger is depressed the electric current sparks the fuse in the base of the tube, which ignites the propellant charge and the expanding gas pressure launches the bomb out of the tube.
