I have been working on a triggered burst disk prototype, and have looked at all the designs on this site (that came up in the advanced search, correct me if there are any i might have missed) I have already replicated Davidvanini (sorry, not exact name, but you get who it is.) I replicated the equalization of pressure method stated on the Wiki http://www.spudfiles.com/spud_wiki/inde ... burst_disk and I am currently experimenting with the solenoid design. I think this time i might have found a whole new method while surfing the web, here it is, i cannot tell how much power it has, but it looks promising.http://www.ap.smu.ca/demonstrations/ind ... &Itemid=85
