Can a C-4 explosive be set off by a microwave?

No, a C-4 explosive cannot be set off by a microwave. Microwaves operate on a different wavelength that is not capable of detonating high explosives like C-4. C-4 requires a strong and precise detonation source, such as a blasting cap, to be set off.


How many watts are in 300 volts?

Watts = Volts x Amps x Power Factor. So as you can see watts and volts are different units and you need to know more information. So if you had 1 microamp of current and 3 million volts you would only have 3 Watts.


What can you run off an 8000 watt generator?

Watts = Amps x Volts. Amps = Watts/Volts. 10000/120 = 83.3 amps can be used at 120 volts. On a generator that large it is most likely that it also has the capacity to produce 240 volts. 10000/240 = 41.6 amps can be used at 240 volts. What you can connect to the generator will be totals of the amperage of devices that do not go above these amp ratings.


How many volts can you draw off of a 15amp breaker?

It's the amps that are controlled by the breaker not the volts. You can have a 600 volt 15 amp breaker, you can have a 347 volt 15 amp breaker. The breaker will trip when you exceed 15 AMPS.


How can I make a Grade 3 blasting cap?

making a little plastic explosive are we? lol. well tell u what, on the fire work day, go buy one of those 2$ air bombs and take the green thing u light up and a bit of the powder that is at the end of it and there is your grade 3 blasting cap. if u dont wanna light it up urself , then make an electronic device that will set off the green thing for u (by short circuiting a wire, makes a spark). I ran into the same problem. So i designed my own, fairly easy to make. Take a rubber or metal cap (like something you would put on the end of a chair leg to keep it from scratching the floor) fill it about halfway with black powder or something that will ignite with a fuse. pour a little bit of melted wax in the end to keep the powder from falling out. then poke a hole at the top and insert some kid of fuse. Make sure you fuse is long enough to give you time to get the hell away from whatever homemade stuff you concocted . then when your ready to blow the charge, shove the cap into the charge as far as you can, and light it.
