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.

Are dynamite and TNT the same thing?

Very easy to mix them up, but they are not the same thing. Dynamite is a type of explosive device that uses a material (something absorbent like sawdust) to absorb nitroglycerin, which is a liquid. Exact ways of making dynamite can vary, but the idea is that it's an explosive-packed device. The nitroglycerin is known to leak out of older dynamite sticks, making them very dangerous and volatile. TNT is entirely different because instead of just being a kind of explosive device, it's a molecule. It's short for trinitrotoluene, with the chemical formula C6H2(NO2)3CH3. It's not actually stronger than gunpowder or dynamite, but it's useful for having a higher activation energy and being usable in conditions (like moisture) that other explosives are unreliable in.

Are dynamite TNT and nitroglycerin the same thing?

TNT is trinitrotoluene. Dynamite is a mixture of nitroglycerin and an absorbent material of some kind such as diatomaceous earth or sawdust. Dynamite is safer to work with than either TNT or pure nitroglycerin as it's not nearly as sensitive to physical shocks (dropping, shaking, etc.).
