Alfred Nobel had been working with nitroglycerine, it could be made more stable against handling, by incorporating the liquid with diatomaceous earth. This he named dynamite, using the Greek word for power.
Later he continued to explore other additives to make a more powerful explosive, and eventually settled on a mixture with nitrocellulose, and this is mixed with inert material to make a stiff paste. This he called Gelignite. This is contained in paper tubes, and is sold in various strengths.
