Swedish chemist, engineer, innovator, and an armaments manufacturer. Alfred's life was not always great, as he was born into a poor family in Stockholm, Sweden and experienced many accidents. Alfred's father manufactured military equipment, including explosives. However, Alfred's father did not have very much success in keeping his business going so they moved from place to place often. When Alfred and his family lived in Russia, he was tutored and became interested in chemistry and learned how to speak
T.N.T did not start or was used as an explosive at first, in fact in was used as a yellow dye. They used it to color everything yellow. They didn’t have anything else to color yellow with. It was the worst dye to use, though. The workers’ skin started to turn yellow. Your urine will turn red,
1) What are some of the fire anomalies an arson investigator will look for during an investigation? A fire investigator will first ensure that the fire did not have an accidental cause, by searching for clues like faulty wiring, cigarette smoking and overheated electric motors. Then the investigator will begin an extensive on-site investigation by first looking for containers that are capable of holding an accelerant, as well as an ignition device such as a candle. The investigator will also looking
propellant for bullets, fire extinguishing, demolition, airbags for cars, mining, mountain carving, and even helping clean up the tragedy of the terrorist attacks on 9/11. Pyrotechnics have shaped the earth and country with many uses. The first explosive ever discovered was by old Asian alchemists, they were mixing certain chemicals for a certain spell to cast on themselves. They took the mixture and placed it on a fire, within seconds it exploded causing them to become burned and their hut to burn
H.G. Wells makes predictions and proves them by his novels. “ If we can possibly avoid wrecking this little planet of ours, we will, but-there must be risks!” H.G. Wells writes about scientific ideas and predictions of this world. Wells has produced novels such as: The Time Machine and The Island of Doctor Moreau. H.G. Wells used his novels as a prediction of war, genetic splicing, atomic bombs, and laser’s. In the younger years of Well’s life, he had a natural writing ability. While coming from
In September of 1940 through May of 1941 there was a strategic bombing attack that was lead by the Germans targeted towards London and other cities located in England, this was known as The Blitz. The Germans aimed the bombs mostly at populated cities, dock yards, and factories. The bombing on London began on September 7, 1940 and lasted for 57 consecutive nights. During these nights of bombing people took shelter in warehouse basements, and in underground subway stations with no privacy and
Identification and Justification of the Components of Fitness Taking part in any sport requires high levels of physical fitness this includes stamina, speed, somatotype, suppleness, balance, reaction time, strength, agility and co-ordination. Different sports require different components within there sport. I am going to discus the components of fitness that are required in netball, and validate why the components are important for netball. Stamina: ‘Stamina is the ability to work for
form of the explosive. Throughout past to modern time we are constantly hearing about different explosives being used to cause destruction and mayhem. But there are many types of explosives that all fall into four main groups, Primary, Low, High, and Blasting Agents. In history though early thermal weapons, such as Greek fire, have existed since ancient times, the first widely used explosive in warfare and mining was black powder, which was invented during 9th century China. This material was sensitive
New Hazards Any educational plain or public campaign designed should be considerate to the fact that our new hazards come with an increased uncertainty. Unlike a traditional threat our new hazard is implemented by a person with the ability to learn and take advantage of our mistakes. We should also be concerned with implanting an idea in the mind of a person that hopes to cause harm but just does not know how or what would achieve the greatest destruction. A challenge for any instructor will be avoiding

and you take cover from material flying though the air; that is what most people think when they are in the vicinity of an explosion. Although individuals realize the immediate danger of the blast itself and flying debris, most people do not realize they are exposed to a very deadly situation where blast overpressure is taking place. There are several harmful effects that blast overpressure can cause on the human body. Blast overpressure is a lot more dangerous than material flying though the air and

(and other explosives) Introduction Black Powder, also known as Gunpowder, is an explosive that has been around, literally, for centuries. The exact origins of the formula are lost in time, but it is known that the Chinese used Black Powder in weaponry at least 1,000 years ago. Technically, Black Powder burns by a process known as deflagration. This differs from detonation in that Black Powder produces subsonic shock waves, as opposed to the supersonic shock waves produced by explosives such as Dynamite
we must shun material concerns to be redeemed. Both plays seek to reinforce these aspects of redemption to insure that all may be redeemed. The world is imperfect, and the only way we can make ourselves perfect and worthy of redemption is by not worrying about our material well being and performing good deeds. It is by disregarding our material concerns that allow us to perform good deeds. Everyman places his faith in material things, his friends, relatives and goods. These material things do him
in the past by the lack of materials available to plagiarize, either in libraries, newspapers, magazines, or in academic files of campus organizations. With the birth of the Internet however, the ability to commit fraud through plagiarism has greatly increased. In this electronic age, there are many materials available that promote plagiarism, and many measures being applied to detect it. Along with the plagiarism materials of the past, there are many new materials arising in this electronic
The purpose of operating a job cost subsystem for I Do Attire is to calculate and accurately record the direct costs (raw materials and direct labour) of the job so they can provide the accurate selling cost for the product they are producing to their customer, Ace Modeling Agency and so sufficient profit is made. The system allocates overheads to each job so the applied overheads are approximately the same cost as the actual overhead using the appropriate cost driver. In I Do Attire, the direct
In this modern age we have numerous man made materials and more commonly used in our everyday lives, man made plastic materials. Almost all modern day plastics are derived from petroleum and can have negative effects on not only on our enviroment but also on our body’s. Kevlar is one of these man made plastics and it has many benefits but also many faults. Do kevlar’s benefits out way its faults? Are these benefits sometimes used to disguise the many problems with this product? Kevlar with its harmful
Expansion and Contraction of Materials When most materials are heated they expand and this increase their volume. One example of expansion is the fitting of the starter ring gear to the flywheel. The gear is heated until it expands sufficiently to pass over the rim of the flywheel, and when it is cool the gear tries to return to its original size, this gripping the flywheel with considerable force. All metals do not expand equally when heated through the same range of temperature, e.g. aluminium
electrons. This increase in collisions means that there will be an increase in resistance. 2.Material: The type of material will affect the amount of free electrons, which are able to flow through the wire. The number of electrons depends on the amount of electrons in the outer energy shell of the atoms, so if there are more or larger atoms then there must be more electrons available. If the material has a high number of atoms there will be high number of electrons causing a lower resistance
resistencia tensil si soporta un estiramiento similar a éste: La resistencia tensil es importante para un material que va a ser extendido o va a estar bajo tensión. Las fibras necesitan tener buena resistencia tensil. Luego está la resistencia a la compresión. Un polímero tendrá resistencia a la compresión si soporta una compresión como ésta: El concreto es un ejemplo de material con buena resistencia a la compresión. Cualquier cosa que deba soportar un peso encima, debe poseer buena
