Can you work in an oilfield with explosives if you are a felon?
You must have a license to do this and that may be a background check problem for a convicted felon.
What types of grenades are used today?
stiealhand grenade, frag grenade, smoke grenade tabun gas grenade, and sticky grenade
stieal? (Steel?) hand grenade, frag grenade, smoke grenade, tabun gas grenade, sticky grenade.
There are also Anti-Tank HEAT and white phosphorus smoke, or other types of smoke grenades that are thrown and, or projected by rifles and other launchers. Fragmentation grenades and flairs can also be launched from a rifle grenade launcher/adapter. Furthermore, there are also offensive and defensive fragmentation hand grenades. Offensive grenades have either a plastic case with out fragments, or many very small fragments that do not travel far and are thus little danger to the advancing troupes who tossed it some required distance. The Offensive hand grenade has fragments who's size is chosen to trade effective radius against chance to inflict a disabling wound. Larger fragments travel farther, but there are less of them which reduces the chance of success at longer ranges where their spread is farther apart.
What was the purpose of the hand grenade in World War 1?
To kill people on the enemy team.
Hand grenades, whether it be WWI or present day are all used for the same purpose. - Causing injury( not necessarily death). As I understand it, this weapon was used to slow advancing troops by maiming them. If a unit was (un)fortunate to have one explode among them it is possible to disable many soldiers with a single grenade, immobilizing the unit. Injuries would vary from the distance you were from the detonation. The closer you were the more damage, but even at a short distance shrapnel would still cause injuries- some serious.
What is stronger between the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb?
In general, a fusion bomb (hydrogen bomb) is more powerful than a fission (atomic) bomb. Fusion bombs use an atomic bomb to begin the fusion reaction.
Where can you purchase plastic explosives?
Explosive substances can occur naturally or synthetically. Underground deposits of petroleum usually contain a layer of natural gas, which is an explosive substance. The electrolysis of water will release hydrogen gas, which, when mixed with oxygen, forms an explosive substance. Synthetic explosive substances such as gunpowder can be found at the back of bullets which propels the bullets when exploded. Dry ice, when placed in an airtight container can also be explosive due to the increase in pressure inside the container when the dry ice sublimates.
Is the hydrogen bomb is more destructive than the atom bomb and why?
Yes, the hydrogen bomb is more destructive than the atom bomb. This is because it relies on nuclear fusion, which releases much more energy than nuclear fission, the process used in atomic bombs. The sheer power of the hydrogen bomb makes it capable of causing significantly greater devastation.
Where did the hydrogen bomb explode during the Cold War?
The hydrogen bomb was tested by the United States at the Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean during the Cold War. The Soviet Union later conducted its own hydrogen bomb tests in various locations, such as the Semipalatinsk Test Site in Kazakhstan.
What is the difference between volcanic ash and volcanic bombs?
They differ in size and origin. Volcanic ash consists of fine material ejected by a volcano up to 2 mm (0.08 in) in diameter. Lapilli consists of larger material, ranging from 2mm to 64 mm (2.52 in) in diameter. Blocks and bombs are larger than 64 mm. Volcanic bombs form when molten lava is ejected during an eruption and solidifies in the air. A volcanic block is from material that is already solid when it is ejected, coming either from country rock or rock formed by previous eruptions.
- My guess is there are two reasons. One, an atomic blast involves a much bigger area of damage. Two, a bigger blast area almost certainly means civilians will be hurt or killed. With traditional bombs, the target is usually combat-specific.
- I believe it is because of the radiation poisoning of the atomic bomb. In addition to the massive explosion that caused immediate deaths, it continued to affect the Japanese in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The survivors suffered from multiple cancers including leukemia, and children were born with birth defects for generations because of the radiation of the atomic weapons. Although the the traditional bombs killed 200,000 civilians, they would not have caused so much internal damage, due to radiation, as only a nuclear weapon could deliver the radiation that will affect the peoples of Nagasaki and Hiroshima for many generations to come.
- Opinion: Because "they" want to see a difference. There is a BIG moral difference between dropping ONEatomic bomb, and ONE fire bomb. There is little or no moral difference between the use of one or two atomic bombs versus hundreds of thousands of fire bombs, which would have been necessary in lieu of one or two atomic devices.
It would have taken THOUSANDS of fire bombs, and thousands [possibly hundreds of thousands] of Japanese lives [civilian and military], as well as thousands more Allied personnel in the invasion forces to force the Japanese Military High Command[NOT the Emperor, because he only knew what they wanted him to know] to sue for peace.
All of these recent Q&A attempts to stir the fires by "rewriting history" are futile [in spite of the allegations of "facts" which ARE NOT FACT] as the world knows that Japan was stalling for time, and the Military High Command had no intention of surrendering UNTIL they had set up conditions in their favor [which the Allies were not going to allow to happen].
In closing, the real truth of the matter is that the Allied use of the atomic bombs DID SAVE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of Allied forces AND JAPANESE lives!!!!! Another thought Japan and Germany were also attempting to build atomic weapons. Would they have used them against the Allies if they had completed them first? Addition weapons of mass destruction = NBCR (nuclear weapon, biological weapon, chemical weapon, radiological dispersion device)
*A fire bomb can only do so much damage; and even with multiple thousands the total damage is still fairly restricted: the fires go out after days, usually less, and the area can be replanted and used within months. A single nuclear weapon with one blast can destroy a city and the surrounding area, and leave it irradiated for decades.
[Note: the preceding claim about radiation contamination is not borne out by experiences in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which did not experience any significant post-bomb problems with radiation. People present during the attacks have had a higher rate of cancer than normal, but those living in the areas after the attacks have not. The problems of fallout generally occur downwind of the attack site, and are primarily tied to the size and style of the nuclear attack. Thus, nuclear attacks using small-yield airburst weapons will leave very little fallout, and little residual radiation, while those using surface-burst large yield weapons will produce massive fallout. Standard nuclear weapons leave behind short lived radioisotopes in their fallout that decay to "safe" levels in as little as 8 days to at most 3 to 6 months, only neutron bombs which activate long lived radioisotopes in the target materials themselves and enhanced radiation bombs like the "cobalt bomb" produce long lived persistent radioactive contamination lasting years or decades.]
Maintaining Permanent Residence
You may be found to have abandoned your permanent resident status if you:
-Move to another country intending to live there permanently.
-Remain outside of the US for more than one year without obtaining a reentry permit or returning resident visa. However in determining whether your status has been abandoned any length of absence from the US may be considered, even if it is less than one year.
-Remain outside of the US for more than two years after issuance of a reentry permit without obtaining a returning resident visa. However in determining whether your status has been abandoned any length of absence from the US may be considered, even if it is less than one year.
-Fail to file income tax returns while living outside of the US for any period.
-Declare yourself a "nonimmigrant" on your tax returns.

What were the fuel oxidizer combinations used on each of the stages of the V-1 missile?
The V1 used an air breathing pulse jet engine. It burned a form of kerosene and air. Acetylene gas was used to help start the engine. The ground launched version used a steam catapult to get the V-1 to flying speed. These used hydrogen peroxide and potassium permanganate to generate steam.

Did they use explosives in gold rush?
yes they did, to make gold visible from rock caves and stuff. :-)
In the 50's and much of the 60's, people were convinced that the Soviet Union was about to send bombs and that we could survive if we all built "bomb shelters". These were almost always underground, made of concrete and stocked with varying amounts of supplies. Of course, back then, nobody had thought much about "Nuclear Winter" or the effects of being stuck in that kind of environment for several years while the world got back to something approaching normal. We were all naive and fortunately none of the nuclear powers decided to push the button. A chamber (often underground) reinforced against bombing and provided with food and living facilities; used during air raids.

no it is impossible sorry im so sorry sorry im really am sorry
The country you are referring to is Chile. Saltpetre, also known as sodium nitrate, was a significant export for Chile until the Haber process allowed for the production of synthetic nitrate fertilizers, shifting the demand away from natural saltpetre for explosives.
This is the open pit mine. Surveys are conducted (including drilling) and mapping is done. Then, with the location of the ore bodies pinpointed, material is removed, drilling and blasting create the ore pile, and the ore is loaded and hauled to the crusher. From there is it off to the processing plant.
