TNT on combustion releases a lot of energy in a very short time which is , it explodes.

WHAT  are you planning on an EXPLOSION

bolide - a fireball that produces a sonic boom

I believe its the initial blast spreading out from ground zero followed immidiately by another blast occuring due to suction of air into the vacuume produced by the detonation.

Fireworks are not true explosives.  They deflagrate rather than detonate.  The stars just burn.\n\nSome examples:\nFlash Powder\nBlackpowder of varying formulas and grain sizes.\nKP\nWhistle Mix

Basically the electrical energy it can absorb before it blows up. The energy is converted to heat.\n\nThe larger the coulombs capacity the more energy it can absorb.\n\nA firecracker can be small peanuts compared to an lightning or surge arrester blowing. Debris is thrown out like a grenade.

i would say an explosion is the RAPID release of a gas or gasses having a greater volume than the initial components.\n\nfor example a couple drops of gasoline and a few cubic inches of air produce many times the volume if hot gas.\n\nNow the question, is this an explosion? It supposed to be a slow burning. A diesel engine, on the other hand DETONATES the fuel air mixture.\n\nBut to answer your question more directly, the FORCE of an explosion is a result of the pressure of the gasses expanding to equalixe with atmospheric pressure.\n\nThe speed of an explosion is called BRISANCE. Military explosives are charactorized by very high brisance, or shock. Working explosives, like prill or dynamite release their energy more slowly, giving more pushing force in a hard-rock mine, for example.\n\nSo an explosion may be charactorized as the SUDDEN release of high pressure gas. My most common explosive experience: making POPCORN.

oh that is actually the name of a makeshift bomb or grenade. it is made by using any bottle of alchohol and sticking a scarf or some other cloth in the opening of the bottle. you then light the cloth on fire and throw the bottle of alchohol. when the bottle hits whatever you throw it at the glass breaks and the alchohol goes everywhere on fire, making a pretty effective bomb for pretty cheap. there you go buddy, thats a molotov cocktail. the weapon of choice of the cheap revolutionary...

As I recall that is a tank mounted weapon. They contained \nexplosives and blew up on impact with an object.\n\nThank you very much, while you're up.

Fireworks, which are also known as pyrotechnics, are basically devices that contain burning compounds. The most common type of display firework is the aerial shell, which is fired from a mortar tube. These fireworks typically have four components: a lift charge, a time-delay fuse, a breaking charge and a light/effect generator. The lift charge is generally black powder, a compound that burns rapidly and propels the shell from its tube. The lift charge also ignites the delay fuse when it fires. The delay fuse is usually a black powder fuse with a delay of a few seconds, and it is designed to ignite the break charge when the shell reaches the appropriate height. The purpose of the break charge, which sits at the center of the lofted shell, is to explode, thereby igniting and scattering the shell's contents. This break charge is generally finer-grained black powder than the lift charge and more highly confined, which causes the shell to explode. The payload of the shell usually comprises small spherical pellets of pyrotechnic composition designed to generate light. These capsules burn from the outside inward, and color changes are obtained by layering different compositions on top of one another.

Dynamite is chemically related in that it is composed of the base component Nitro glycerin, which is then mixed with a hardening agent to be able to form it into sticks and it requires the aid of a gunpowder blasting cap, which is placed on the end of the stick and acts as the igniter in setting off the resulting blast. \n\nSimilar to a newer version known as C4. But we will not go into that. \n\nGood question, \n\nDarryl S.

An electromagnetic bomb or E-bomb is a weapon designed to disable electronics on a wide scale with an electromagnetic pulse. The electromagnetic pulse was first observed during high altitude nuclear weapon detonations. An electromatic pulse lasts for less than a nanosecond, and travels outward in every direction as an electromagnetic shock wave.This shock wave will induce heavy currents in all electronic gadgets that mainly contain semiconducting and conducting materials.This produces immense heat that simply fries the circuitry inside and destroys them. As such, while not being directly responsible for the loss of lives, these weapons are capable of disabling electronic systems on which industrialized nations are highly dependent.\n\nElectromagnetic weapons are still mostly classified and research surrounding them is highly secretive. It is generally thought that E-bombs use explosively pumped flux compression generator technology as their power source.

If you heated a tank of compressed helium, the pressure might be enough to cause the tank to burst. The tank would become a missile (Newton's 3 law) and slam into whatever was opposite the breach.

probably explode or though im not sure,it would be fun if it hit someone ,just kidding,he,he

It will definitely explode, but not to this extent as you have mentioned. \n\nIf you want a more massive explosion try out a beer can or champagne bottle. Then the blast will be enough to hurt humans, but again not to your desired extent.

An explosion is defined as "A release of mechanical, chemical, or nuclear energy in a sudden and often violent manner with the generation of high temperature and usually with the release of gases". Since the sun is a nuclear reaction it meets most of the definition of explosion except the "sudden and often violent" part. If the sun really did explode (suddenly and violently), we wouldn't know for at least 8 minutes because that's how long it takes for the light from the sun to reach us.
