Copperhead (politics)
In the 1860s, the Copperheads, also known as Peace Democrats, were a faction of the Democratic Party in the Union who opposed the American Civil War and wanted an immediate peace settlement with the Confederates. Republicans started labeling anti-war Democrats "Copperheads" after the eastern copperhead (''Agkistrodon contortrix''), a species of venomous snake. Those Democrats embraced the moniker, reinterpreting the copper "head" as the likeness of Liberty, which they cut from Liberty Head large cent coins and proudly wore as badges. By contrast, Democratic supporters of the war were called War Democrats. Notable Copperheads included two Democratic Congressmen from Ohio: Reps. Clement L. Vallandigham and Alexander Long. Republican prosecutors accused some prominent Copperheads of treason in a series of trials in 1864. Copperheadism was a highly contentious grassroots movement. It had its strongest base just north of the Ohio River and in some urban ethnic wards. In the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Copperhead (climbing)
In rock climbing, a copperhead is a small nut with a head made of soft metal on a loop of wire, originally copper or brass, later aluminium. Copperheads are most often placed into small shallow seams and crevices by pounding or hammering them in to place, with a climbing hammer, sometimes with the aid of metal rod, chisel, or punch. The malleability of the soft metal head makes copperheads conform to the rock and grip better than other devices, and are often the only protection that will stay fixed in many placements. Their small size and low strength makes them among the poorest kinds of protection; their main use is in aid climbing where a placement that will just support the weight of the climber can be used to make progress, even though it would be useless in a fall. Variations such as Double-heads and Circleheads can also be used.

Dodge Copperhead
The Dodge Copperhead, later unofficially renamed as Dodge Concept Car or Dodge Concept Vehicle, was a concept car created by Dodge as a slimmed-down version of the Dodge Viper for buyers who couldn't afford the Viper's $75,000 cost. Overview The Dodge Copperhead was unveiled at the 1997 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Some reviewers were impressed with its aerodynamic, yet rugged styling with its Copper Fire Orange color and the fact that its sale price would be about US$30,000 (US$45,000 less than the Viper). The Copperhead, unlike the Viper, was made more for handling and driving pleasure, while the Viper was made more for raw power. Dodge engineered the Copperhead to make the driver feel the road and the pavement, which was done by stretching the wheels to the end of the frame, adding five inches of ground clearance and a stiff suspension, making this car marketed more towards enthusiasts. The Dodge Copperhead was due to be released in 2000, but was cancele ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Copperhead (UUV)
Copperhead is the name of a family of reusable unmanned underwater vehicles (drones) developed by Anduril Industries, Anduril. The family consists of two size classes of autonomous undersea vehicle, with both utility and Loitering munition, "kamikaze"-style munitions (designated M) subvariants of each. The Copperhead-100M is roughly comparable in size and capability to the Mark 54 lightweight torpedo, and the Copperhead-500M is roughly comparable in size and capability to the Mark 48 torpedo, Mark 48 heavy torpedo; however both Copperhead variants are significantly lighter and cheaper to manufacture. It is intended to supplement, rather than replace, traditional crewed submersibles and torpedoes. Design Anduril refers to Copperhead as "High-Speed Autonomous Underwater Effects". Copperhead features a rectangular hull form, rather than the cylindrical hull shapes of the Mk54 and Mk48 torpedoes. According to Anduril, this was a deliberate decision to simplify development and reduce ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
