Abstract
An apparatus for a target for a weapon is disclosed. The apparatus has a conductivity layer configured to be removably attached to the target, at least one thermal device configured to be removably attached to the conductivity layer, and a power storage electrically connected to the at least one thermal device. The at least one thermal device is configured to heat or cool the conductivity layer. The conductivity layer has a thermal conductivity that is both greater than the target and between 200 W/mK and 400 W/mK.
Claims20
An apparatus for a target for a weapon, comprising:
- a conductivity layer configured to be removably attached to the target;
- at least one thermal device configured to be removably attached to the conductivity layer;
- and
- a power storage electrically connected to the at least one thermal device;
- wherein the at least one thermal device is configured to heat or cool the conductivity layer;
- and
- wherein the conductivity layer has a thermal conductivity that is both greater than the target and between 200 W/mK and 400 W/mK.
A method for a target for a weapon, comprising:
- removably attaching a conductivity layer to the target;
- removably attaching at least one thermal device to the conductivity layer;
- electrically connecting a controller to the at least one thermal device;
- electrically connecting a power storage to the controller;
- removably attaching a thermal sensor to the target and electrically connecting the thermal sensor to the controller;
- sensing an actual temperature of the target using the thermal sensor and transferring a signal or a data indicative of the actual temperature to the controller;
- and
- heating or cooling the conductivity layer based on the controller controlling the power storage to transfer electricity to the at least one thermal device based on the signal or the data.
An apparatus for a target for a weapon, comprising:
- at least one thermal device configured to be removably attached to the target via at least one magnet of the at least one thermal device;
- a controller electrically connected to the at least one thermal device;
- a power storage electrically connected to the controller, the controller being electrically disposed between the power storage and the at least one thermal device;
- and
- a thermal sensor electrically connected to the controller and configured to be removably attached to the target, the thermal sensor configured to sense an actual temperature of the target and transfer a signal or a data indicative of the actual temperature to the controller;
- wherein the controller is configured to control an amount of electricity transferred from the power storage to the at least one thermal device to heat the target based on the signal or the data.
