Why do helicopters need to attach a wire to the ground before they can refuel at a heliport?

The rotors build up a static electric charge that has to be discharged before fueling to prevent a fire or explosion.


What is made during an explosion?

First you must know that fire needs fuel, oxygen, and heat. When this happens a lot of gases are released from the fuel. If this happens in a closed container the gases build up and store energy. When the container can't hold any more energy this is when an explosion occurs. Basicly an explosion is when a lot of energy is released.a explosion occurs when a time for a bomb is u or if gas or petrolatum leeks.In military explosion also occurs with the use of an EFP (explosively formed penetrator)


Why can explosives be transported long distances without exploading?

Simple... As an explosion consists of three things, just like a fire, you would need all three: Ignitor, as in the energy to start the explosion, or often referred to as temperature needed to start the combustion Fuel, the explosive itself, Oxygen , no oxygen, no explosive or fire... As the explosives and oxygen are present, the temperature isn't . If you were to heat up the explosives during transport high enough, they would explode.

Would fireworks still look round when watched from the side?

Ever see a firework explosion that WASN'T round? Everytime you see a fireworks explosion, you are seeing it from the side. The "side" you see is not the same side someone 200 yards away would see. Nor is it the same side someone a mile and a half away would see. Think of a lightbulb. When you turn the switch, an "explosion" of light particles is ejected from the filament. The particles of light all come from the center and travel at the same relative speed in every direction. In a fireworks explosion the same thing happens. A small center (the filament) explodes and sends tiny particles of burning matter, all moving at the same relative speed, in all directions making a "ball" of light. Just like a basketball, no matter what side you look at, it's round. There's an exception to this answer==If it is a kind of breezy night--The Fire works don't always fall straight to the ground--They sort of float in one direction==Not staight down!!Al;so did you ever view fire works from up in an airplane==Very different!!

Fire can create tension or comfort depending on how you're using it. If you've got a fire burning something up, it's going to be tense waiting to see if the characters can get away from the fire.

How does nuclear power hurt when it explodes?

A nuclear power station can not create a nuclear explosion. What CAN happen is that hydrogen could build up inside of the containment dome and if the build up becomes too intense, it can cause a hydrogen explosion, like the one in Japan recently. This explosion is dangerous only if you are close to it and are hit by the concussion or by the debris that is flying from the explosion. If this explosion is too large, it can damage the containment dome surrounding the reactor and this, in turn, releases some radioactive gases.


Is there such thing as a fire tornado and can blow anything up?

There are fire whirls which are sometimes called fire tornadoes even though they technically are not tornadoes. They are whirlwinds made of smoke and/or fire. If they do contain actual fire they could potentially cause an explosion if they came in contact with something explosive just as the case is with any fire.

Why is it dangerous to use a gas fire in a poorly ventilated room?

Because it produces carbon monoxide which is very poisonous to our blood and environment. There's also a risk of an explosion. If the fumes build up in the room, and them someone lights whatever, there could be a fireball or an explosion.


From full wing tanks spilled jet fuel can certainly burn but can there be an explosion in such a crash?

now there cant unless there was an impact but in this ocasion it was a spill not an impact there for no explosion. An explosion is only a fast burn that is confined until the expanding gases rupture open the container. If a fire developes around an aircraft, then it could heat up any fuel that is contained in another tank or trapped in the a/c and result in an explosion.


What blows up in a flurry leaves of thunder in hatchet?

The answer to your question is a specific passage from the book "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen. In the book, Brian makes a makeshift fire starter using his hatchet to create sparks that ignite dry grass. The resulting explosion of flames and smoke is described as a “flurry of leaves” and a “rumble of thunder.”
