Description At an undisclosed time on an undisclosed site I found an outragously expensive piece of hardwear and a discription of how it works..

The devices goal is to hold together for a period of time and eventually release what is tied to it after so long.

The method of doing this is said to be frozen water. So when the two halves are filled with water, joined and frozen they would create a solid part that seperates when the ice melts. I speculated over this for a while and gather that it works simmilar to how if you tie a string to a screw nut, put the nut in an open full water bottle, freeze the water bottle, and then tie the string to a ceiling fan, the water bottle won't drop till the ice melts enough to release the nut.

This drawing is a sample diagram of the (more complicated than needs to be) parts and assembly as I would interpret it.

Brilliantly simple.
