Bombs and Explosive Materials

Net explosives weight is used to calculate Quantity Distance by means of a formula D = K*W1/3, where "D" is the distance in feet, "K" is a factor (also called K-factor) that is dependent upon the risk assumed or permitted, and "W" is the NEW in pounds. When metric units are used, the symbol "Q" denotes NEQ in kilograms. In the formula D(m) = Km*Q1/3, the distance "D" is expressed in meters. Thus, the units of "K" are feet/pounds 1/3 and "Km" are meters/kilogram 1/3 in the two systems. The value of "K" in English units is approximately 2.52 times "Km." For example, if D(m) = 4.36*Q1/3, then D(ft) = 11*W1/3. Distance requirements determined by the formula with English units are sometimes expressed by the value of "K," using the terminology K9, K11, K18, to mean K = 9, K = 11, and K = 18

Reactions to the atom bomb varied widely. Some people saw it as a necessary means to end the war and believed it saved lives by hastening Japan's surrender. Others condemned it as a barbaric and inhumane weapon that caused immense suffering and destruction. The bombings also raised concerns about the potential for nuclear proliferation and the long-term consequences of nuclear warfare on humanity.

Explosives produce a rapid release of large amounts of stored energy in the form of heat, pressure, and gases. This sudden release of energy creates an explosion, resulting in a shockwave that can cause damage and destruction to surrounding objects.

It is a device for monitoring air quality, typically within a building, to warn against the build-up of explosive gases such as propane, methane, or gasoline vapor. These devices are commonly used in manufacturing facilities using highly volatile solvents (eg for degreasing) or storage facilities for such chemicals.

Inexpensive, single-gas alarms (eg for propane) are avail for approximately $50 for recreational vehicles, to guard against a tank or line leak. Industrial grade monitors which provide telemetry back to a SCADA system will be many times that price.

The minimum withdrawal distance for a known quantity of HCD 1.1 explosives of 15,000 lbs or less involved in a fire is typically determined by the applicable regulations and guidelines, such as those set by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) or other relevant authorities. This distance is established to ensure the safety of individuals and property in the event of an explosion or detonation. It is advisable to consult the specific regulations and guidelines to determine the appropriate minimum withdrawal distance in such a scenario.

Many explosives, especially those based on nitroglycerin, lose their sensitivity when frozen. They will not explode. When using explosives under arctic conditions, there are procedures for warming them (safely) before use.

I have for sale boxes of citric acid available in Vancouver area.

I made bath bombs with my daughters last weekend to try it out and had

alot of fun with a great result.

We sell a 13 kg box for $39.

The exact coposition will vary, and in many cases is a trade secret, but flash-bang grenades DO use some type of finely powdered metal to produce the very bright flash. It could be magnesium or zirconium/ titanium/ aluminum, etc.

There are too many factors to give you one simple answer. It will depend on the yield (size) of the weapon, where it is detonated (on ground, low airburst, high airburst) etc. A 150 kiloton weapon, low airburst, would cause 3rd degree burns at about 5.4 kilometers, and cause total destruction of ordinary buildings (from blast) out to 4 kilometers. Current day nuclear weapon are LESS powerful than the VERY large weapons from the 50s and 60s- better guidance systems can place the weapon on target within a matter of feet- in the 1960s, it was a matter of miles.

Governments go for the well know material for bomb making but the classic militia starter bomb is always fertilizer based. It's easy to obtain because fertilizer is made from pig, sheep, and cow manure.

Anything that is not grown is dug out of the earth- metals, minerals, and petroleum. Explosives are used for all of them. Highway paving and concrete construction require crushed stone- produced with the use of explosives. The average computer contains 34 substances obtained by mining- all with the use of explosives. Building dams and highways will frequently require the use of explosives- in the US alone, we use about 12 million pounds of explosives each day.

At the instant of detonation, the temperature at the core of the fusion reaction is high enough for the fusion of deuterium with tritium, and of tritium with tritium (50,000,000°C and 400,000,000°C, respectively.

The winds generated by a hydrogen bomb explosion, also known as the blast winds, can reach speeds of up to 7000 miles per hour (11,200 kilometers per hour) near the center of the explosion. These winds can cause widespread destruction in the surrounding area.

Two major hazards associated with conventional explosives are accidental detonation, which can result from mishandling or improper storage, and the release of toxic gases and particles upon explosion, posing risks to the surrounding environment and human health.

Division 1.1 of class 1 explosives has a mass explosion hazard, which means they can produce a large explosion. These substances are extremely dangerous and can cause widespread devastation.

Radioactive substances, such as uranium or plutonium, are used in fission bombs because they can undergo nuclear fission, releasing a large amount of energy in a chain reaction. This energy release is what creates the explosive power of the bomb.

The joint research effort to develop the nuclear bomb during World War II was called the Manhattan Project. It was a top-secret program led by the United States with contributions from the United Kingdom and Canada. The project resulted in the successful testing and subsequent use of nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.

No, Albert Einstein did not help design the atom bomb. He was a theoretical physicist who wrote a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt urging him to research nuclear technologies, which indirectly led to the Manhattan Project that developed the atomic bomb.

The blast effect of an explosive causes damage to the body- can include being crushed, thrown into things, having things thrown into you, etc. The high pressure can damage the soft parts of your body, such as your lungs, and you cannot breathe.

Nuclear bombs release energy from the nucleus of the atom, which is held together by the Strong Force. Conventional bombs release energy from the electron cloud of the atom, which is held to the nucleus by the Electromagnetic Force. The Strong Force is thousands of times stronger than the Electromagnetic Force and thus releases thousands of times as much energy.

Grenades are able to inflict damage through a combination of explosion, shrapnel, and fragmentation effects. They can cause injury or death to individuals within their blast radius, as well as damage structures and vehicles. Grenades can vary in destructive power depending on their design and explosive content.

Underwater explosives (depth charges, torpedoes, submarine sinkers, etc) are just designed to successfully explode, just like any other bomb. Being in water doesn't affect a bomb too much, as long as the explosive material doesn't get wet, as well as any electronic detonating systems.

In other words, an underwater explosive is just like any other explosive, but just waterproof.

its Fe- iron. It is used as a catalyst to speed up the exothermic reaction between N2 and H2 to make NH3.

In the Nagasaki bomb, about 14 pounds. Design criteria on later weapons is classified.

Depends on the type of bomb. The first nuclear weapons were fission weapons- they used a heavy metal such as Uranium or Plutonium. These metals, when compressed by explosives, would undergo nuclear fission, and break into lighter elements, releasing heat and radiation. Later, larger bombs were fusion bombs. They used a fission bomb to start the nuclear reaction, but then used that energy to FUSE light elements, such as Deuterium and Tritium into heavier elements, releasing LARGE amounts of heat and radiation.
