Patent ID: 8622740

Claim:
A system for manipulating an environment to create a tactical combat scenario which comprises: at least one explosion simulator pre-positioned in the environment, the explosion simulator including a detonator, with a powder material to present a smoke cloud and a plurality of cork chunks to mimic pseudo shrapnel upon detonation of the detonator; a sound enhancer pre-positioned at a first predetermined distance from the explosion simulator; a remote controller; a fire-ball generator pre-positioned at a second pre-determined distance from the explosion simulator, said fire-ball generator having a hollow cylinder having a wall defining a chamber, wherein the cylinder has a first end and a second end with a plurality of air vents formed through the wall near the second end; a fluid container positioned in the chamber of the hollow cylinder for movement between the first and second ends thereof; a first end cap fixedly engageable with the first end of the cylinder, the first end cap having a hollow probe formed with a blade projecting therefrom and into the chamber of the cylinder when the first end cap is engaged with the first end of the cylinder; and a second end cap fixedly engageable with the second end of the cylinder, the second end cap being formed with a depression for receiving an explosive charge therein, with the explosive charge being responsive to the remote controller to explode and drive the fluid container against the probe to impale on said blade to expel fluid from the container through the probe, and to direct sparks through the vents for contact with expelled fluid outside the cylinder to generate a fire-ball; and an electrical means for connecting the remote controller with the detonator to selectively detonate the explosion simulator.
