DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from A Manual on Explosives Explosives may be simply explained as substances, either in'solid or liquid form, which by the action of heat or other cause are capable of very rapid conversion into gases, occupying a much larger Space than the original substance. The fact oi certain substances possessing such properties has been known for many centuries, and there is perhaps no substance which has wrought such important changes in the world's) history as Gunpowder; and yet its origin will always remain one of the mysteries of antiquity, for no one can say with certainty where, or by whom, it was first used. The invention of gunpowder is by various authorities attributed to the Chinese, the Arabs, the Hindus, and with a greater degree of certainty to several mediaeval monkish alchemists, and among the many legends surrounding its origin, the fact has been fairly well established that its properties were known to the great English pioneer of science, 'roger Bacon, who died in 1294, and who is, by'some, claimed to be the inventor. It is certain, however, that gunpowder as it is known to-day was in use soon after the year 1310. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Lectures on Explosives: A Course of Lectures, Prepared Especially as a Manual and Guide, in the Laboratory of the U. S. Artillery The following course of lectures is intended to serve as a manual and guide in the practical laboratory-work in the course of explosives at the U. S. Artillery School. The aim has been to present the subject systematically and logically, due consideration being given to the sequence in which the various classes of explosives are arranged, so that a certain degree of familiarity may be acquired in manipulating the less sensitive and dangerous mixtures before undertaking experiments with the high explosives. Particular attention has been given to the service tests of the various explosives, in the description of which all technical terms have been avoided as far as possible. While the bulk of the matter here presented is the result of compilation, it is believed that a portion at least appears i in print for the first time. In submitting these pages I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness for assistance and encouragement to Professor Munroe, and Lieutenant-Colonel R. T. Frank, 2d Artillery, Commandant of the Artillery School. With the permission of Professor C. E. Munroe, Chemist to the U. S. Navy Torpedo Corps, I have borrowed largely from his course of "Lectures on Chemistry and Explosives," delivered at the Torpedo Station, the arrangement of the subject-matter being slightly changed to meet the requirements of the Artillery School.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from A Dictionary of Explosives IN the following pages I propose to set forth a Dictionary Of Explosives, which comprises all those which have, to my knowledge, been used or proposed to be used. The list includes a good many which are obviously unfit for practical purposes, and some which are merely curiosities in a chemical sense. All, however, are given without distinction. Those which are, or have been, licensed for use in the United Kingdom will be specially noted as authorised explosives, a term which signifies that they are, or have been, authorised to be manufactured for general sale or imported for general sale.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Explosives The early uses of gunpowder were confined to warfare, and no use seems to have been made of it for blasting purposes for several hundred years. It was originally used in the form of crude hand grenades, and probably was at first of most use in striking terror into the enemy. Cannon were first used by the English in I 346 at the battle of Crecy. But seem to have been used a few years prior to this in the hispano-moorish wars.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Dictionary of Explosives In France and Belgium also the compositions of the coal mine explosives are published, but in Germany, as a rule, only a list of the constituents is given, and sometimes an upper or lower limit for one or more of the principal constituents. Moreover, it is not stated explicitly whether the explosives are intended for use in coal mines or for general blasting purposes. In the United States of America, explosives in tended for use in coal mines are examined by the Bureau of Mines, which, however, has no power to prevent the use of others because regulations on this matter are made by the individual states. If they pass they are placed on the list of Permissible Explosives. The compositions are not published, but the class of composition is stated. Until the second half of the nineteenth century, gunpowder was practically the only explosive used on a considerable scale, and it was employed for all purposes. Consequently it does not fall into any of the classes mentioned, or rather it could be placed in several of them.
