Who invented gun powder?

Answer 1

It is unknown for who discovered gunpowder, but there are some guesses, dealing with the Chinese, Greek, Arabs and others. But most people say that gunpowder was discovered in China with the tang dynasty (618-907). Gunpowder is also used in fireworks.

Answer 2

The general consensus among historians is that gunpowder was invented in China in the 9th century. During the 10th century, the Chinese began to use a weapon called the "fire lance," one of the earliest confirmed gunpowder weapons. This invention was later followed by the invention of the mine, the cannon, and the firearm.

From China, gunpowder spread to the Middle East, Central Asia, and Europe, where various peoples (Mongols, Arabs, Germans) improved on the original formula. Gunpowder aka black powder mixture of sulfur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate / saltpeter, creates an expanding gas that is used as perpellant in items ranging from firework to weaponry (canons, firearm) and is also known as a low explosive material.

The spread of gun powder across Asia from China is widely attributed to the Mongols. One of the first examples of Europeans encountering gunpowder and firearms is at the Battle of Mohi, between the Mongolians and the Hungarians. At this battle the Mongols not only used gunpowder in early Chinese firearms, but the earliest grenades as well.

We do not know the person who invented Gunpowder. It is a Chinese invention Gunpowder, earliest records of the formula (using saltpetre, sulphur and charcoal), date from the 800s.

One of the first recorded applications of gunpowder in European military history occurred at the 1346 Battle of Crecy, where the English arsenal included little gunpowder "firepots."

Answer 4

The history of Gunpowder is a very ancient one. As regards to its discovery, some say it was discovered in ancient China in the 8th century A.D. There is also a familiar story which narrates how charcoal, sulfur and saltpeter were joined together in a Chinese Cook's kitchen. It is also believed that an explosion made of fireworks/gunpowder took place in the kitchen. Another study says that emperor Wu Di commissioned a team of alchemists in 156-87 BC to discover the elixir of life.
