What is a shell hole?
A hole made by a shell bomb.
How many hits does an eighty eight need to take out a bomber?
Depends on where and how it hits. Flak shells, the type used for antiaircraft fire, were commonly fused to explode at a given altitude, not on impact. The idea was to have the shell explode near the aircraft, then the shrapnel from the shell would spread out in all directions. If close enough to an airplane this would damage it, perhaps enough to bring it down. A direct hit could blow the wing off a plane. On the other hand, there are instances on record where the gunners set the fuses for the wrong altitude, causing flak shells to shoot right through an airplane without exploding. In such a case the airplane might well make it home safely, provided nothing else went wrong.
To blast blow up cause to explode?
to detonate
What year did the nuclear bomb explode in hiroshima?
1945
How did the Parthenon explode?
a gun shell during a war had explode on it
What is a blind shell?
A blind shell is a shell which contains no charge, or one which does not explode.
What makes artillery shells explode?
The inside of an artillery shell is filled with high explosives. At the tip of the shell there is a fuse. When the fuse hits a solid surface it ignites the main charge, causing the shell to explode.
Can you cook an egg in the microwave in its shell?
Well you could but it might get hot and explode!
Will eggs explode when you put them into the oven?
yes the yolks will increase and outgrow the shell.
How egg explode?
An egg will explode by vinegar. Vinegar will also dissolve an egg shell leaving the egg to not only feel, but also look like rubber.
What provides the activation energy that causes a fireworks shell to explode?
It is the detonator or fuse which is attached to the shell! sometimes some delays after explosions are made with help of binders or delay fuses.
Will a shotgun shell explode from being near a fire?
It may. If the primer in the shell overheats, it will explode. That is what it is designed to do. This will cause the main charge of powder to explode. Don't even think about experimenting with this one. ====================================================== Cartridge shells are not designed to explode. When a cartridge is in a chamber of a rifle, and the primer is struck, it ignites the powder. The powder burns rapidly, but does not explode. Black powder has the capability to explode, smokeless powders do not. When a cartridge is in a fire, the powded burns rapidly. Because the cartridge is not held in a chamber, the force of the burning gasses is not contained, and will not project the projectile. The gasses dissipate. Still, not a good idea to do. limpetmine
Microwaving an egg to hard boil?
Make sure you put a pin prick in the shell otherwise it will explode when microwaved.
What does the blue turtle shell do?
In New Super Mario Bros. it gives Mario a blue shell on his back which he can use similar to the turtles.In Mario Kart, the shell flies to the person in first place (unless it's you, in which case it will fly to 2nd place) and explode.
Why do acorns explode when heated up?
The moisture in the acorn is also heated and that moisture begins to boil. Eventually contained in the shell of the nut the pressure builds until the nut shell can no longer contain it. This causes the nut to explode. Most people do not appreciate the explosive power of water. If you think of it why does a volcano explode? Some volcanoes explode with some of the most intense explosions on earth. These are all triggered by water in the volcano heating to incredible pressures. If you have ever seen a "pressure cooker" explode in a kitchen there the extra pressure is around 14 lbs/sq inch. The pressures in a volcano can be thousands of pounds per square inch.
Did World War 2 AA shells have timed fuse for height?
Answer Yes. AA shells could be programmed to explode at altitude of the bombers. A battery of Anti-Aircraft artillery would fire rounds witin a "box" area that the bombers would have to fly through. This would increase the chance of hitting a bomber. Q: Were the AA shells timed to explode by Altitude or timed from instant it was fired?? I've never considered this question. Either [A] the shell had a timer to explode within a specific time after the shell was fired OR [B] the shell detected the altitude by atmospheric pressure. Since earlier black-powder cannons used a fuse that burned to set off the explosion, then I'm sure this was continued up to WW2. It would be very difficult to "program" a shell to explode based upon altitude pressure as that would have too many variables.
