This document details the technical configuration and visual testing of a magnesium burner system called 'Hell Roarer' installed on an RB-26 aircraft in 1953. It provides photographic evidence of the installation and the resulting combustion effect.
This document, identified as File 2613 and dated July 1953, provides photographic documentation of a project designated as 'Hell Roarer' conducted at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. The file contains four photographs detailing the installation and operation of a magnesium burner system on an RB-26 aircraft. According to the technical notes provided with the photographs, the system functions by utilizing 300 pounds of powdered magnesium stored in a wing tank. This magnesium is introduced into a tube where it mixes with air entering through a forward-facing scoop. The mixture is then ignited by two spark plugs located at the extreme end of the tube, creating a significant visual effect. The photographs illustrate the installation on the aircraft, a daylight view of the system in action, a ground-level view of the combustion, and a time-exposure photograph taken at night showing the path of the aircraft. The document serves as a technical record of this specific experimental installation, documenting the physical configuration and the resulting visual output of the magnesium burner system.
