Hi All,Tinkerer that I am, a little waxy candle self-ignited in my mind on seeing the noxious mischievousness that is the Frugin pod.
Some sketching later, I have devised a new device to keep at bay nasty things, with the power of noxious nasal nausea inducing knowings,
behold! (Whips off dusty rag from artboard)
How to proceed Flinging Frugin pods
Gathering the Frugin pods, I deftly roll them in a clay paste, fired briefly at high temperature to create a brittle but stable casing. Once gathered with suitable precautions, these are then placed into the spring loaded Flinger, a hide bound funnel of two halves, with recovered strider spring at it's base. Within the Flinger is the Shunter, a plate sized device for thrusting the encased pod upward and away.
Hopefully if aimed right and the spring is properly wound, the result should be the flinging of a Frugin pod to break at the feet or talons of your target after being flung!
My current success rate of flinging is about three in five, or one and a bit in two, wherein I am of course counting the pods which are flung upward, but land to close to me rather than the intended, or the wind changes direction. But as I am prepared for such nastiness! I thus count it as a success.
Those of a military bent or investigative nature like myself, can freely discuss or tinker further with this idea I am currently building in my abode outside of town, down wind.
