The Science of Boom!
What exactly is an explosion???
Faster than the speed of sound
Shockwave effect Shattering Instant Chemical
Reaction proceeding forward through the compound
Requires a Detonator
Slower than the speed of sound
Confinement and compression
Particle to particle burn rate
No Detonator Required
