← HistoryWhat outcome led Byzantine dromon ships to effectively use Greek Fire through siphons under pressure?
A)Greater projectile combustion range✓
B)Lower temperature aluminum compounds
C)Thicker bronze protective nozzle layering
D)Increased manganese flame stabilisation
💡 Explanation
Greater projectile combustion range results because pressurized projection exploited the entrainment principle. Fire was sprayed further than other means could propel it, therefore granting a significant tactical advantage, rather than temperature change or nozzle thickness directly influencing range.
