blasting agents Explanation: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/exp... Nu sunt deloc sigura dar asa s-ar initia o explozie. Cred. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 34 mins (2008-03-29 21:57:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Nu pot sa postez din nou dar cred ca este "initiator". Check out this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosive_booster -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2008-03-30 00:13:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- For example: An initiator (such as shock tube, or cannon fuse) does not have the energy to trigger large high explosive charges (such as PETN, TNT, or ANFO), so a booster is used to upgrade the energy so that the main charge is activated. Tetryl was once a very popular chemical for booster charges, particularly during World War II, but has been largely superseded by other compositions |
