To make a conch shell horn, start by cleaning the shell thoroughly. Then, use a small saw or drill to create a hole near the pointed end of the shell. Finally, blow into the open end of the shell to produce a loud, resonant sound.
He suggests Ralph to blow the conch shell
The 20-gauge shell will fall into the barrel and lodge. When a properly fitting 12-gauge shell is chambered and fired, it will blow up the barrel and you will have a very bad day.
if the shell was big enough the mortar could take out a tank with a few rounds...
Remember when a hole is made after a bomb/charge was exploded?That is a shell hole. In WW1 they had such charges to make such shell holes.They mostly used the charges to blow up enemeis in trenches.One biggest shell hole that I saw was HUGE! Heres the link:www.youtube.com/watch?v=r57W4kHyTbU
The sound produced when blowing into a conch shell is due to resonance. The shape of the shell acts as a natural amplifier, enhancing the sound of the vibrations created by your breath. This phenomenon is similar to blowing across the top of a bottle to produce a similar sound.
On a computer Bash is a Unix shell and command language.
The danger is that the shell will fall forward, blocking the barrel, but allowing a 12 gauge shell to be loaded. If that is fired while the barrel is locked, the gun will likely blow up, destroying gun and injuring the shooter and innocent bystanders.
Ralph finds a conch shell in the lagoon and retrives it with the aid of a sapling. When he manages to blow it he makes a loud 'booming' sound which atracts the attention of the other boys on the island and draws them to his location.
Define hit. Hit as in a vehicle accident? Probably not. It might catch fire, but it isn't likely to be an explosion. Hit by a tank shell? Yeah, a standard HE round will cause it to blow up.
Long, long before the sun blows off its outer shell ("explodes", if you like) earth will have become uninhabitable for humans. By the time the sun does blow of its outer shell, we will be long gone already.
In chapter 1, they find a conch shell and piggy relizes that the conch could be used as a horn to call all the other boys on the island. With that, they blow into the conch and many boys come to the beach.
