	Blasting cap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Solid pack electric blasting caps use a thin bridge wire in direct contact (hence solid pack) with a primary explosive, which is heated by electric current and causes the detonation of the primary explosive.
		Match type blasting caps use an electric match (insulating sheet with electrodes on both sides, a thin bridgewire soldered across the sides, all dipped in ignition and output mixes) to initiate the primary explosive, rather than direct contact between the bridge wire and the primary explosive.
		The first blasting cap or detonator was demonstrated in 1745, when a Dr. Watson of the Royal Society showed that the electric spark of a Leyden Jar could ignite fl powder.

		A blasting cap with an integral delay element in conjunction with and capable of being detonated by a detonation impulse or signal from miniaturized detonating cord.
		When connecting a blasting cap or an electric blasting cap to detonating cord, the cap shall be taped or otherwise attached securely along the side or the end of the detonating cord, with the end of the cap containing the explosive charge pointed in the direction in which the detonation is to proceed.
		Before a blast is fired, a loud warning signal shall be given by the blaster in charge, who has made certain that all surplus explosives are in a safe place and all employees are in a safe place and all employees, vehicles, and equipment are at a safe distance, or under sufficient cover.

	Blasting Cap Safety (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Blasting is necessary in mining, stone, rock and gravel quarrying, lumbering; road and rail construction; digging foundations; seismographic exploration; tunneling; irrigation and flood control; and demolition.
		Theft and vandalism are usually responsible for the few blasting caps which are found by children or uninformed persons.
		Blasting caps are designed to explode with tremendous force to detonate commercial explosives.

		What is most certain is that the blasting caps used for blast fishing come from Talisay, a city south of Cebu City and the center of a backyard industry that manufactures in commercial quantities what has come to be known as the "Talisay Blasting Cap" or TBC.
		A safety fuse is a medium through which a flame is conveyed for direct firing of an explosive charge, in the case of the blasting cap, to detonate the explosive mixture.

	Blasting caps (Gerald L. Hurst)
		The cap achieves this by exploding and generating a very high shock pressure which compresses a small portion of the explosive material so rapidly that the shock continues to propagate through the charge, being sustained by the rapid chemical reaction initiated by the original shock.
		Electric caps have a couple of wires bridged by a fine filament precrimped into the open end of the cap shell to make the assembly waterproof In practice the filament may be coated with match material to assure contact for ignition.
		Caps below number 6 are only used for the limited purpose of establishing the minimum sensitivity of explosives in the laboratory and there is no universal standard for the strength of such caps.

		Inside the cap the leg wires are joined by a short piece of fine resistance wire called a "bridge wire." The bridge wire may be imbedded either directly into an ignition mixture or in an electric match.
		Thus, the electric blasting cap converts a relatively small amount of electrical energy into a primary-initiating explosion capable of detonating cap-sensitive high explosives with which it is in intimate contact.
		Delay electric caps are similar to instantaneous caps in construction and action, except that between the ignition charge and the primer charge there is a column of powder called a "delay charge" which serves as a time fuse.

	Coastal City is Hub of Underground Explosives Trade
		The cylinder, which is the blasting cap, is next implanted in a mixture consisting of more explosives, mainly ammonium nitrate, inside a bottle from whose mouth protrudes the fuse.
		No dynamite will explode without a detonating device called the blasting cap, which is actually made in two stages: the formation of the cylinder cap, which by itself is not illegal, since it does not yet contain explosives; and the mixing of the primary explosive and safety fuse.
		As a result, many families turned to making blasting caps as their primary source of livelihood, and while some locals still practice blast fishing, many residents say outsiders are the biggest buyers of the blasting caps.

		Originally meant as detonating devices for the explosives used in dynamite fishing, Talisay’s blasting caps are now not only killing fish, but sowing terror in cities as far as Manila, and perhaps even beyond Philippine borders.
		The making of blasting caps here starts innocently enough: empty milk cans are formed into cylindrical containers approximately 4 centimeters in length and 5cm to 6cm in diameter.
		These moves, however, seem to have hardly affected the manufacture of blasting caps here and the assembly of dynamite by unscrupulous fishers—and possibly terrorists.
