Dynamite Stories, and Some Interesting Facts About Explosives

SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT EXPLOSIVES An explosive material consists of a combustible and of an oxidizing agent for burning the combustible. Hence it contains within its own substance the necessary oxygen for its combustion, so that it will burn without atmospheric air and therefore in a confined space. There are two main kinds of explosive materialshigh explosives and gunpowder. There are also two main kinds of high explosivesdynamites and military high explosives. Lastly there are two main kinds of gunpowdersblack, smoky gunpowder and smokeless gunpowder. Dynamite is used mostly for commercial blasting purposes, such as blasting rock in the construction of railways, and so forth.[2] Military high explosives are mostly employed for submarine mines, warheads for torpedoes, and as bursting charges for high explosive projectiles. A high explosive is consumed almost instantly by what is called a detonative wave; hence it is said to detonate. When gunpowder explodes, it is not consumed by a detonative wave, but burns from the surface, and the more strongly it is confined, that is to say, the higher the pressure under which it is burned, the more rapid is its combustion. Although the action is rapid, it is yet much slower than is the action of detonation of high explosives. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
