Explosive velocity , also known as detonation velocity or velocity of detonation VoD , is the velocity at which the shock wave front travels through a detonation detonated explosive . The data listed for a specific substance is usually a rough prediction based upon Gas laws gas behavior theory Citation needed date December 2008 see Chapman Jouguet condition , as in practice it is difficult to measure Citation needed date December 2008 . Explosive velocities are always faster than the local speed of sound in the material. If the explosive is confined before detonation, such as in an artillery shell, the force produced is focused on a much smaller area, and the pressure is massively intensified. This results in explosive velocity that is higher than if the explosive had been detonated in open air. Unconfined velocities are often approximately 70 to 80 percent of confined velocities. ref name GlobalSecurity.org http www.globalsecurity.org military systems munitions explosives.htm GlobalSecurity.org ref Explosive velocity is increased with smaller particle size i.e. increased spatial density , increased charge diameter, and increased confinement i.e. higher pressure . ref name GlobalSecurity.org Typical Table of explosive detonation velocities detonation velocities in gases range from 1800 Metre per second m s to 3000 m s.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 The explosive harpoon is a Improvised explosive device device used by whalemen to kill whale s efficiently and without poison . As soon as the harpoon is thrown into the whale and fastened to it the wooden pin is broken by the power of the whale pulling upon the tow line attached to the harpoon. This causes the fluke of the harpoon to open or turn upon the iron rivet, and the rivet will come in contact with the vial and break it, producing friction, cause the powder to explode. This will result in the eventual death of the whale. History The first explosive hand darted harpoon patented in the United States was invented by Albert Moore of Hampden, Maine in 1844 U.S. Patent No. 3,490, March 16, 1844 . His harpoon , fashioned after the single flued harpoon , had a single barb that pivoted on an iron pin . When the barb was closed, in the darting position, a small wood pin was inserted through holes drilled through the head and shank. A wikt cavity cavity in the single barb opened to the rear, and accepted a small glass vial of explosive which was held in place by a wood peg across the closing.

refimprove date April 2012 Explosive forming is a metalworking technique in which an explosive charge is used instead of a punch or press. It can be used on materials for which a press setup would be prohibitively large or require an unreasonably high pressure, and is generally much cheaper than building a large enough and sufficiently high pressure press on the other hand, it is unavoidably a batch process, producing one product at a time and with a long setup time. Various approaches There are various approaches one is to place metal plate over a die manufacturing die , with the intervening space evacuated by a vacuum pump, place the whole assembly underwater and detonate a charge at an appropriate height above the plate. For complicated shapes, a segmented die can be used to produce in a single operation a shape that would require many manufacturing steps, or to be manufactured in parts and welded together with concomitant loss of strength at the welds. There is often some degree of work hardening from the explosive forming process, particularly in mild steel . Tooling Tooling can be made out of fiberglass for short run applications, out of concrete for large parts at medium pressures, or out of ductile iron for high pressure work ideally the tooling should have higher yield strength than the material that is being formed, which is a problem since the technique is usually only considered for material which is itself very hard to work.

Mount St. Helens in 1980 was an example. Such an eruption is driven by gas accumulating under great pressure. Driven by hot rising magma , it interacts with ground water until the pressure increases to the point at which it bursts violently through the overmantle of rock. In many cases, the rising magma will contain large quantities of partially dissolved gas. Sometimes a lava plug will block the conduit to the summit, and when this occurs, eruptions are more violent. With the sudden release of pressure following the initial explosion, the gas comes out of solution violently and explosively. This secondary explosion is often far more violent than the first one the rocks, dust, gas and pyroclastic material may be blown 20 km into the atmosphere at rate of up to 100,000 tonnes ... will then collapse, creating a pyroclastic flow of hot volcanic matter.

Unreferenced date December 2008 Minol pronounced mine ol is a military explosive developed by the Admiralty early in the Second World War to augment supplies of Trinitrotoluene TNT and RDX , which were then in short supply. The aluminium component in Minol significantly prolongs the explosive pulse, making it ideal for use in underwater naval weapons e.g. sea mine s for which it was developed depth charge s and torpedo es where munitions with a longer explosive pulse are more destructive than those with high brisance . Minol must not be used in weapons fired from gun barrels e.g. artillery shell s because there is a risk of detonation when subjected to over 250 g force gs of acceleration. Fact date October 2008 Typically, four different Minol formulas were used. All percentages shown are by weight Minol 1 48 trinitrotoluene TNT , 42 ammonium nitrate and 10 powdered aluminium .

Since the 1950s, Minol has gradually been superseded by more modern polymer bonded explosive PBX compositions, due to their superior explosive yield and stable storage characteristics. As a result, Minol is regarded as obsolete . Generally, any Minol filled munitions encountered will be in the form of legacy munitions or unexploded ordnance dating pre 1960s.

It does not therefore contain sufficient oxygen for the complete combustion of its carbon. The production of carbon monoxide is dangerous in mining operations in particular, so additional oxygen is provided by mixing a nitrate compound with the guncotton . Various nitrates have been used nitre , potassium nitrate , barium nitrate , ammonium nitrate . The explosive tonite was patented by Messrs Trench, Faure, and Mackie.

In explosive material s, strength is the parameter determining the ability of the explosive to move the surrounding material. It is related to the total gas yield of the reaction, and the amount of heat produced. Cf. brisance . The strength, or potential , of an explosive is the total work thermodynamics work that can be performed by the gas resulting from its explosion, when expanded adiabatic process adiabatically from its original volume, until its pressure is reduced to atmospheric pressure and its temperature to 15 C. The potential is therefore the total quantity of heat given off at constant volume when expressed in equivalent work units and is a measure of the strength of the explosive. Explosive strength is measured by, for example, the Trauzl lead block test . An explosion may occur under two general conditions the first, unconfined, as in the open air where the pressure atmospheric is constant the second, confined, as in a closed chamber where the volume is constant. The same amount of heat energy is liberated in each case, but in the unconfined explosion, a certain amount is used as work energy in pushing back the surrounding air, and therefore is lost as heat. In a confined explosion, where the explosive volume is small such as occurs in the powder chamber of a firearm ... the total quantity of heat given off by a mole of explosive of 15 C and constant pressure atmospheric Q sub mv sub represents the total heat given off by a mole of explosive at 15 C and constant volume ... mv sub may be determined. Subsequently, the potential of a mole of an explosive may be calculated. Using this value, the potential for any other weight of explosive may be determined by simple proportion ... work units is the potential of the explosive. MW Molecular Weight of Explosive Potential Q sub mv ... than tabulate such large numbers, in the field of explosives, TNT is taken as the standard explosive ... above to be 2.72 10 sup 6 sup J kg. Relative strength RS may be expressed as R.S. Potential of Explosive ... more details
