Dynamite is more stable than plain nitroglycerin, but it still must be handled with care.

Military demolitions tend to be VERY stable, until primed with a blasting cap.

Can a motor run capacitor be used in a HID light?

Yes, but you should add a bleed resistor in parallel to a motor run cap if you want to use it for a hid ballast to drain the cap when its not in use, this is to avoid dangerous voltages remaining in the cap, and remove the potential for electrocution


Why is it dangerous to open a radiator cap while the engine is still hot?

Opening a radiator cap while the engine is still hot is dangerous because the pressurized coolant can erupt and cause severe burns or scalding. As the engine heats up, the pressure inside the cooling system increases significantly, and releasing that pressure suddenly can lead to a violent spray of hot coolant. Additionally, the sudden change in pressure can damage the radiator or other components. It's always best to allow the engine to cool down before attempting to open the radiator cap.


What does the cap to the sewer system look like?

Depends on the type of "cap" one used as there are caulked in caps and then the mission rubber company type of CAP and some people confuse a plug as a cap. The closure at a cleanout will often be a soft or flexible circular insert into a terra-cotta fitting.


How do you stop the drain valve of a hot water heater from dripping. Is it safe to put a cap on it?

No dont even think about putting a cap on it, its dripping for a reason, call a plumber to fix it, a hot water heater is a dangerous appliance and should not be dealt with lightly. If you have a drip, but can't fix it or get a plumber out right away, use a garden hose to route the water to a drain nearby. Most drain valves are threaded with garden hose fittings.

How is dynamite detonated and what is its materials?

Detonated with a detonator, sometimes called a blasting cap which explodes when electricity is applied Dynamite is based on Nitroglycerin.


Is blasting cap a high explosive?

No, a blasting cap is not a high explosive itself, but rather a small explosive device used to trigger a larger explosive charge. Blasting caps are sensitive explosives designed to initiate a controlled detonation in high explosives like dynamite or other blasting agents.


Can dynamite be detonated with electricity?

If you have an electric blasting cap - yes, then it's easy. If you haven't it's really, really hard.

How was dynamite made?

Dynamite was invented by Alfred Nobel (of the eponymous Nobel Prizes) in 1867.Early dynamite was made by mixing the explosive liquid nitroglycerin into an absorbent compound, such as diatomaceous earth. It was then wrapped in paper to make sticks, which were detonated by a blasting cap inserted into astick or bundle.A less dangerous alternative was to use ammonium nitrate instead of the unstable nitroglycerin. So called ammonium dynamitewas nearly as powerful.Modern dynamite is mostly a mix of RDX, TNT, and oil and is called military dynamite. This mixture is designed to provide the explosive power without the safety risks of actual dynamite.


Who had an explosive idea and first patented DYNAMITE?

In 1867, Alfred Nobel received U.S. patent number 78,317 for his dynamite. To be able to detonate the dynamite rods, Nobel also improved his detonator (blasting cap) so that it could be ignited by lighting a fuse.


What were all the inventions of Alfred Nobel?

How was dynamite invented?

it was made by Alfred Nobel who made dynamite, it was made out of dead earth and nitroglycerin. they were both mixed and ignited by a shock made by the blasting cap, which was also invented by Alfred


Why was the dynamite invented?

Swedish industrialist, engineer, and inventor, Alfred Nobel built bridges and buildings in Stockholm. His construction work inspired Nobel to research new methods of blasting rock. In 1860, the inventor first started experimenting with nitroglycerine. In 1863, Alfred Nobel invented the Nobel patent detonator or blasting cap for detonating nitroglycerin. The Nobel patent detonator used a strong shock rather than heat combustion to ignite the explosives. The Nobel Company built the first factory to manufacture nitroglycerin and dynamite.


What is bus wire?

In the construction trade, bus wire is used for the feeders that connect the two wires on a blasting cap to the power supply. The other end of the bus wire is connected to the hand generator that is used for a power supply to energize the blasting cap.
