← HistoryWhich mechanism caused inconsistent Greek fire flame projection during naval battles?
A)Unpredictable pressurization from manual bellows assemblies✓
B)Variable composition due to alchemical experimentation
C)Changes in sea temperature influencing combustion
D)Erosion of ceramic projector nozzles compromising geometry
💡 Explanation
Fluctuating pressure drove uneven stream because air bellows systems varied manually, causing output inconsistency therefore impact reliability suffered, rather than the blend or environment directly hindering sustained flame behavior.
