Are there any good (reusable) alternatives to shear pins?
Post Body
Simply a hypothetical question, I'm not building any hardware or anything.
I was thinking electromechanical latches or something, but obviously shear pins are going to be the lightest option.
EDIT: I'm thinking maybe small solenoid actuators attached to latches, and a Green Gas/Propane (Pressure only, not ignited) or HPA ejection "charge".
