	Explosive material - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Explosives are classified as low or high explosives according to their rates of decomposition: low explosives burn rapidly (or deflagrate), while high explosives undergo detonation.
		The term "detonation" is used to describe an explosive phenomenon whereby the decomposition is propagated by the explosive shockwave traversing the explosive material.
		A chemical explosive is a compound or mixture which, upon the application of heat or shock, decomposes or rearranges with extreme rapidity, yielding much gas and heat.

		High Explosives explode in supersonic reactions and without confinement, are compounds, are initiated by shock or heat and have high brisance (the shattering effect of an explosion).
		Explosives are classified by their sensitivity, which is the amount of energy to initiate the reaction.
		Explosive force is released at 90 degree angles from the surface of an explosive.

	Explosives
		An explosive is defined as a material (chemical or nuclear) that can be initiated to undergo very rapid, self-propagating decomposition that results in the formation of more stable material, the liberation of heat, or the development of a sudden pressure effect through the action of heat on produced or adjacent gases.
		A chemical explosive is a compound or a mixture of compounds which, when subjected to heat, impact, friction, or shock, undergoes very rapid, self-propagating, heat- producing decomposition.
		An explosive base is a solid or liquid which, upon the application of sufficient heat or shock, decomposes to gases with an accompanying release of considerable heat.

	BlastGard International - Technical Data: BlastWrap™ Terminolgy
		Chemical Explosive - A compound or mixture which, upon the application of heat or shock, decomposes or rearranges with extreme rapidity, yielding much gas and heat.
		It is a chemical reaction that moves through an explosive material at a velocity greater than the speed of sound in the material.
		A detonation is a chemical reaction given by an explosive substance in which a shock wave is formed.

	Explosion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Most common artificial explosives are chemical explosives, usually involving a rapid and violent oxidation reaction that produces large amounts of hot gas.
		Other notable early developments in chemical explosive technology were Abel's invention of nitrocellulose (guncotton) in 1865 and Alfred Nobel's invention of dynamite (stabilized nitroglycerin).
		Explosive volcanic eruptions occur when magma rising from below has much dissolved gas in it; the reduction of pressure as the magma rises causes the gas to bubble out of solution, resulting in a rapid increase in volume.

	EXPLOSIVE FORCES OF IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVE DEVICES
		Explosives are substances that, through chemical reaction, rapidly and violently change to gas, accompanied by high temperatures, extreme shock and a loud noise.
		Explosives are classified as low or high according to the detonating velocity or speed at which this change takes place and other pertinent characteristics such as their shattering effect.
		When an explosive is detonated, the block or stick of chemical explosive material is instantaneously converted from a solid into a rapidly expanding mass of gasses.

	Chemical Explosives
		Chemical explosions may be distinguished from other exothermic reactions by the extreme rapidity of their reactions.
		Composite explosives generally have oxygen balances that are closer to the ideal case of zero.
		The energy from the explosive detonation of the primary material is used to set off the booster which in turn sets off the main charge which is made up of secondary (insensitive material).

	Guidelines for Explosive and Potentially Explosive Chemicals
		The first is known explosive chemicals that are designed and produced for use as an explosive (e.g., TNT, explosive bolts, bullets, blasting caps, and fireworks).
		Chemicals that have lasted beyond the recommended shelf life but have been tested and show no detectable peroxides, or whose peroxide concentrations are less than 100 ppm, may be retained but should be tested according to Table 1 below.
		For volatile organic chemicals, the test strip is immersed in the chemical for 1 second; then the tester breathes slowly on the test strip for 15–30 seconds, or until the color stabilizes.

	RC-220 Surveillance and Monitoring of Explosive, Chemical, Biological and Nuclear Hazards (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		In an effort to respond to the momentous increase in requirements for NBC and explosive monitoring devices, private industry as well as non-profit research institutions in the U.S. and the rest of the world are gearing up to serve this expanding market.
		The surge in demand in the U.S. for the overall NBC and explosive surveillance apparatus was rooted in part by the creation of a new government agency by Congress after the attacks of September 11th, namely, the Transportation Security Agency (TSA).
		Explosive detectors for aviation security accounted for nearly 90% of the monies spent by the government in the combined U.S NBC and explosive monitoring technology market between 2002 and 2003 and will continue to account for about 56% of the funds spent by public authorities for these technologies in the U.S in 2008.

		Silicon is known in the ferroalloy and chemical industries as “silicon metal.” The ultra pure form of silicon (>99.99% Si) is distinguished from silicon metal by the term “semiconductor-grade silicon.” The terms “silicon metal” and “silicon” are used interchangeably.
		The chemical stability of silicon dioxide and its electrical insulation properties are a major reason why silicon is the dominant material for semiconductor devices.
		Depending on its chemical and physical characteristics, silica sand is used as glass sand, foundry sand, abrasives, fillers, and hydraulic fracturing sand (also termed "frac" sand by the petroleum industry).

		DENVER (AP) — Federal agents said Friday they are investigating the theft of 1,100 pounds of an explosive chemical from construction companies in Colorado and California in the past week.
		In the first heist, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives issued a nationwide alert Monday after eight 50-pound bags of an ammonium nitrate-based explosive vanished from the Pike View Quarry near Colorado Springs.
		Ammonium nitrate is used as fertilizer, but can become a powerful explosive when mixed with fuel oil.

		They are trained to "sniff out" different explosive chemicals.
		During their extensive training, explosives scents are imprinted into the dog's memory and the dogs are trained on every type of explosive.
		This means that they can detect approximately 19,000 different combinations of explosives.

		Only one vocation is cool enough for the employee to take only one week off over the course of a year, and instead of complaining, he couldn't be happier to report for duty every day.
		Gerard Way realistically estimates that he and his band, My Chemical Romance, have spent the past 2 1/2 years on the road.
		Rolling Stone placed the New Jersey quintet on its annual bands-on-the-rise list, single "I'm Not Okay" is all over rock radio with a video sliding into the MTV rotation, and the group's second album, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, is quite possibly the catchiest rock record of the year.

		Question: How do you make a chemical bomb that's like a firecracker?
		Many chemicals go into making pyrotechnic mixtures that do different things...smoke, flash, spark, explode, etc. Firecrackers are basically fl powder wrapped tightly in paper.
		I won't give any recipes for pyrotechnic mixtures here and I don't recommend you make any on your own.
