Dynamite was originally made by soaking diatomaceous earth (aka kieselgur/kieselguhr), sawdust, or some other absorbent material with nitroglycerin. More recent formulations are based on dissolving the NG in nitrocellulose with some ketone. The chemical formula for nitroglycerin (NG) is C3H5N3O9. While NG can be combusted, the explosive (detonation) reaction comes from the decomposition of NG through the reaction:
C3H5N3O9 --> 3CO2 + 2.5H2O + 1.5N2 + 0.5O2
Lighting the dynamite on fire and waiting for the heat to trigger the explosive decomposition is very inefficient. Since NG is shock sensitive, the detonation is usually is triggered by inserting a blasting cap into a stick. When the much lower powered blasting cap explodes, it provides sufficient shock and heat to trigger the detonation of the dynamite.
It is important to understand that the explosion of dynamite is a detonation rather than a deflagration. Deflagration is an explosion where the reaction accelerates but the shock wave precedes the reaction front, compressing and heating the reactants in front of the shockwave. By contrast, in a detonation, the reaction crosses over the shockwave and thus as the reaction occurs, it is compressing the reactants between the shockwave and the reactant front. Another way to describe this is that deflagration explosions are subsonic and detonations are supersonic.

Alfred Nobel invented the Dynamite.
The main explosive ingredient in dynamite is nitroglycerin.
They used dynamite to blow up the building.
dynamite was first tested in a sand mine in redhill

Dynamite works by burning very quickly, generating a lot of...well, I guess you'd call it smoke. The expansion of this smoke does the dynamite's work.
put dynamite in space XD
yes you do use dynamite
Dynamite would probably work
-The dynamite exploded in the building -Dynamite is very dangerous. -Dynamite is used in war.

Miss dynamite is a rapper, most acclaimed for her release 'miss dynamite'.
George Letrell Dynamite goes by Dynamite.
You put the dynamite by the rocks after you have a line of gas by the rocks. Then you push the dynamite toward the rock and you turn on the elevator. After that your dynamite blows up the rocks.
