Summary
This fusing device is a device that separates and releases two connected objects (for example, an ocean bottom seismometer moored by an anchor).
The two objects are connected by a thermoplastic material covered by a tubular material on which an electric heater part is attached. The cutting is a mechanism (trigger) that separates two objects by supplying electric current to the electric heater and melting the connecting wire composed of the tube and the thermoplastic material.
