Explosive velocity , also known as detonation velocity or velocity of detonation VoD , is the velocity at which the shock wave front travels through a detonation detonated explosive . The data listed for a specific substance is usually a rough prediction based upon Gas laws gas behavior theory Citation needed date December 2008 see Chapman Jouguet condition , as in practice it is difficult to measure Citation needed date December 2008 . Explosive velocities are always faster than the local speed of sound in the material. If the explosive is confined before detonation, such as in an artillery shell, the force produced is focused on a much smaller area, and the pressure is massively intensified. This results in explosive velocity that is higher than if the explosive had been detonated in open air. Unconfined velocities are often approximately 70 to 80 percent of confined velocities. ref name GlobalSecurity.org http www.globalsecurity.org military systems munitions explosives.htm GlobalSecurity.org ref Explosive velocity is increased with smaller particle size, increased charge diameter, and increased confinement. ref name GlobalSecurity.org Typical Table of explosive detonation velocities detonation velocities in gases range from 1800 Metre per second m s to 3000 m s.

Explosive forming is a metalworking technique in which an explosive charge is used instead of a punch or press. It can be used on materials for which a press setup would be prohibitively large or require an unreasonably high pressure, and is generally much cheaper than building a large enough and sufficiently high pressure press on the other hand, it is unavoidably a batch process, producing one product at a time and with a long setup time. There are various approaches one is to place metal plate over a die manufacturing die , with the intervening space evacuated by a vacuum pump, place the whole assembly underwater and detonate a charge at an appropriate height above the plate. For complicated shapes, a segmented die can be used to produce in a single operation a shape that would require many manufacturing steps, or to be manufactured in parts and welded together with concomitant loss of strength at the welds. There is often some degree of work hardening from the explosive forming process, particularly in mild steel . Tooling can be made out of fiberglass for short run applications, out of concrete for large parts at medium pressures, or out of ductile iron for high pressure work ideally the tooling should have higher yield strength than the material that is being formed, which is a problem since the technique is usually only considered for material which is itself very hard to work.

In explosivematerial s, strength is the parameter determining the ability of the explosive to move the surrounding material. It is related to the total gas yield of the reaction, and the amount of heat produced. Cf. brisance . The strength, or potential , of an explosive is the total work thermodynamics work that can be performed by the gas resulting from its explosion, when expanded adiabatic process adiabatically from its original volume, until its pressure is reduced to atmospheric pressure and its temperature to 15 C. The potential is therefore the total quantity of heat given off at constant volume when expressed in equivalent work units and is a measure of the strength of the explosive. Explosive strength is measured by, for example, the Trauzl lead block test . An explosion may occur under two general conditions the first, unconfined, as in the open air where the pressure atmospheric is constant the second, confined, as in a closed chamber where the volume is constant. The same amount of heat energy is liberated in each case, but in the unconfined explosion, a certain amount is used as work energy in pushing back the surrounding air, and therefore is lost as heat.

Image MSH80 st helens eruption plume 07 22 80.jpg thumb right Mount Saint Helens explosive eruption on July 22, 1980 An explosive eruption is a volcanic term to describe a violent, explosive type of eruption . Mount St. Helens in 1980 was an example. Such an eruption is driven by gas accumulating under great pressure. Driven by hot rising magma , it interacts with ground water until the pressure increases to the point at which it bursts violently through the overmantle of rock. In many cases, the rising magma will contain large quantities of partially dissolved gas. Sometimes a lava plug will block the conduit to the summit, and when this occurs, eruptions are more violent. With the sudden release of pressure following the initial explosion, the gas comes out of solution violently and explosively. This secondary explosion is often far more violent than the first one the rocks, dust, gas and pyroclastic material may be blown 20 km into the atmosphere at rate of up to 100,000 tonnes ... will then collapse, creating a pyroclastic flow of hot volcanic matter.

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. Firstly, there is a major safety issue i.e. detonators are by definition much more sensitive to shock and heat than an explosive booster, so minimising the amounts that users ... and encapsulate when compared to the manufacturing costs of explosive boosters.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 The explosive harpoon is a Improvised explosive device device used by whalemen to kill whale s efficiently and without poison . As soon as the harpoon is thrown into the whale and fastened to it the wooden pin is broken by the power of the whale pulling upon the tow line attached to the harpoon. This causes the fluke of the harpoon to open or turn upon the iron rivet, and the rivet will come in contact with the vial and break it, producing friction, cause the powder to explode. This will result in the eventual death of the whale. History The first explosive hand darted harpoon patented in the United States was invented by Albert Moore of Hampden, Maine in 1844 U.S. Patent No. 3,490, March 16, 1844 . His harpoon , fashioned after the single flued harpoon , had a single barb that pivoted on an iron pin . When the barb was closed, in the darting position, a small wood pin was inserted through holes drilled through the head and shank. A wikt cavity cavity in the single barb opened to the rear, and accepted a small glass vial of explosive which was held in place by a wood peg across the closing.
