Unreferenced date July 2009 A booster club is an organization that is formed to support e.g. coordinate events, contribute money, etc. an associated club , sports team , or organization. Boosterism Booster clubs are popular in United States American schools at the high school and university level. The clubs are generally run and organized by the parents of the students in the supported organization in high schools, and by athletic supporters and fans at colleges. It is not a social club. Its main function is to develop support for the student program. For example, fundraiser s are often held to raise money for supplies or equipment that the students may need or for trips that the students may need to take. The main principle of funding by a U.S. IRS 501 c 3 nonprofit is that the booster club may not discriminate in making grants to youth or college students on the basis of their family s membership in or funding to the club, or the family s fund raising or time put into club activities. A popular way for booster clubs to raise money is with raffle s held at sporting events for some item that would be donated by a local business, clothing such as t shirts with the school s name and mascot on it, or the sale of popcorn , hot dog s, and other food items to the fans who attend the game tournament etc. Membership fees are also a key fundraising element, especially at the college level. At the high school level school administrators cannot be involved in the booster club organization except approving activities held at the high school. At the collegiate level, the NCAA closely regulates the activities of booster clubs and strictly defines what actions would cause a person to be considered an official booster of an athletic program.

unreferenced date August 2011 An explosive booster acts as a bridge between a low energy explosive and a low sensitivity but typically high energy explosive such as trinitrotoluene TNT . It increases the explosive shockwave from an initiating explosive to the degree sufficient to detonate the secondary charge. Unlike C 4 28explosive 29 C4 plastic explosive , not all explosives can be detonated simply by inserting a detonator and firing it. An initiator such as shock tube , cannon Fuse explosives fuse or even a conventional detonator does not deliver sufficient shock to detonate charges comprising Trinitrotoluene TNT , Composition B , ANFO and many other high explosives . Therefore, some form of booster is required to amplify the energy released by the detonator so that the main charge will detonate. Tetryl was once a very popular chemical for booster charges, particularly during World War II , but has been largely superseded by other compositions e.g. a small cylinder or pellet of pure RDX or PETN slightly larger than the actual detonator into which the detonator itself is inserted. Note booby trap s and improvised explosive device s frequently use plastic explosive as the booster, for example, some C4 explosive C4 or Semtex stuffed into the empty fuze pocket of a 120mm mortar shell . This is because any standard detonator will initiate plastic explosive as is. When encountered in connection with artillery shells or air dropped bombs, a booster charge is sometimes referred to as the gaine . See detonators . At a purely technical level, explosive boosters are not required to initiate high explosives a sufficiently large detonator would suffice. However, there are good reasons why this method is not used.

Other uses Booster disambiguation Booster A Booster pump is a machine which will increase the pressure of a gas . It is similar to a gas compressor , but generally a simpler mechanism which often has only a single stage of compression, and is used to increase pressure of an already pressurised gas. Two stage boosters are also made. ref name Low cost boosters Improvised and Low Cost HP Gas Boosters , Airspeed Press, Warner, NH, 2002. ref Boosters may be used for increasing gas pressure, transferring high pressure gas, charging gas cylinder s and scavenging. Operation A booster pump may be used to pressurise gas cylinders to a higher pressure than would be otherwise possible when decanting from other cylinders. The gas would be decanted through the booster, which has non return valve s allowing flow when not activated, and when the pressures in the supply and destination cylinders have equalised, the booster is operated and pumps more gas through until either the desired pressure is reached, or the pressure ratio of the booster is reached, after which no further increase in pressure from the supply pressure is possible. Pressure ratios of boosters may range from 6 1 upwards and are limited by the ratio of swept volume to dead volume. Construction and function Booster pumps are usually Reciprocating compressor piston or plunger type compressors.
