Wide Open Trigger (WOT) – How It Works Animation

This is really well done:

When ever I see anything about the WOT trigger I’m always reminded of the Print Shoot Repeat song.

2:46 – “The materials used to build the trigger were carefully picked and were designed by Swedish engineers“.  I always find it funny how a lot of companies will use the fact that it wasn’t American Engineers who designed X or Y like it’s a flex.  I don’t know what the flex really could be, besides “I’m so fancy I hired people in another fancy country you’ve probably never been to, rather than my own country.”???  I think it goes without saying American Engineers have been absolutely slaying for hundreds of years.  Like, watch a SpaceX documentary or something if you need to be inspired.

Thoughts?
