Topic: Fuse (explosives)


  
  Fuse (explosives) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In an explosive device, a fuse (or fuze) is the part of the device that causes it to function.
In common usage, the word fuse is used indiscriminately, but when being specific (and in particular in a military context), fuse is used to mean a simple pyrotechnic detonating device, like the cord on a firecracker, while fuze is used to mean a more complicated device, such as a proximity fuze.
Fuses are still found in fireworks, model cannons, antique smoothbore firearms, some improvised explosive devices and many forms of pyrotechnics.

 320 Blasting and Use of Explosives
Explosives are any chemical compound, mixture, or device, the primary or common purpose of which is to function by explosion; that is, with substantially instantaneous release of gas and heat.
However, an explosive laden vehicle may be left unattended if parked within a securely fenced or wall area with all gates locked where parking of such vehicle is otherwise permissible, or at a magazine site established solely for the purpose of storing explosives.
Explosives removed from a magazine under repair shall either be placed in another magazine or placed a safe distance from the magazine where they shall be properly guarded and protected until repairs have been completed, then they shall be returned to the magazine.

In a high explosive, the fuel and oxodizer are chemically bonded, and the shockwave breaks apart these bonds, and re-combines the two materials to produce mostly gasses.
Another benefit of a fuel-air explosive is that the gas will seep into fortified bunkers and other partially-sealed spaces, so a large bomb placed in a building would result in the destruction of the majority of surrounding rooms, rendering it structurally unsound.
This flame can be used to ignite a fuse, or the potassium chlorate can be the igniter for a thermite bomb, if some potassium chlorate is mixed in a 50/50 ratio with the thermite, and this mixture is used as an igniter for the rest of the thermite.

Explosives can be very dangerous like many other things in our society and have the potential to be deadly if not used responsibly, be sure to only do what is legal, this information is not meant as a recipe book as some of the information is from questionable sorces.
Explosives are for serious minded/consciences people, others should find some other hobby mainly for their own safety but also to avoid giving explosives a bad reputation.
Because in general the more powerful the explosive the harder it is to detonate: a fuse would ignite the first (initial or flash) charge(low explosive), the 1st the 2nd(high primary explosive), the 2nd the 3rd (base) charge (high secondary explosive), and the 3rd the main explosive, all in an order of increasing power.

It is necessary that a high explosive be used to atomize a flammable material, since a low-order explosion does not occur quickly enough to atomize or ignite the flammable material.
If a small but powerful high explosive device with a squib was placed in the phone receiver, when the current flowed through the receiver, the squib would explode, detonating the high explosive in the person's hand.
Finally, the explosive capsule would be reglued back together, and a tassel or cotton would be glued to the end containing the high explosive, to insure that the impact-detonating explosive struck the target first.

Fuse caps are blasting caps that are fired by the flame from a safety fuse.
Care should be taken to ensure the primary explosive is not present in the area of the tube to be crimped, as this crimping with this primary in between the tube walls could very well cause the premature detonation of the cap.
These are loaded with the same amounts of explosives as the fused caps so use the table in that section of this book to find the quantity to load.

 FREE work accident OSHA information: Use of safety fuse   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Before capping safety fuse, a short length shall be cut from the end of the supply reel so as to assure a fresh cut end in each blasting cap.
However, when two or more safety fuses in a group are lighted as one by means of igniter cord, or other similar fuse-lighting devices, they may be considered as one fuse.
Cap and fuse shall not be used for firing mudcap charges unless charges are separated sufficiently to prevent one charge from dislodging other shots in the blast.

 The Terrorist's Handbook
The previously mentioned designs for explosive devices are fine for low-order explosives, but are unsuitable for high-order explosives, since the latter requires a shockwave to be detonated.
If a piece of 1/2 inch plastic tubing was filled with a sensitive high explosive such as R.D.X., and prepared as the plastic explosive container in section 4.44, a different sort of shaped charge could be produced; a charge that directs explosive force in a circular manner.
After filling the hole with an explosive, it would be sealed in the bullet with a drop of hot wax from a candle.

This method is different from method I primarily in that the fuse and cap assembly is installed in the explosive charge while inside a special makeup room.
The fuse and cap shall be attached to the free end of the detonating cord after all charges are connected to the detonating cord.
Safety fuse shall be not less than three feet long, approximately two minutes and twenty seconds, in all instances.
