Explosions of reactive gases and the associated rapid, uncontrolled release of large amounts of energy pose threats of immense destructive power to mining operations, fuel storage facilities, chemical ...

(CBS) - The Feed loves science. The Feed loves explosions. Therefore, The Feed LOVES this video. In it, a mechanical engineer and rocket tester named Destin uses a Saiga 12 to demonstrate the ...

Detonation combustion achieves near-constant-volume burning, drastically reducing entropy generation and wasting less energy as heat compared to traditional deflagration propulsion. Its supersonic ...

The rapid, violent detonation of a high explosive (HE) generates supersonic shock waves that transfer energy by moving mass. According to Livermore physicist John Molitoris, trying to gather data on ...

The bright minds from the University of Central Florida (UCF) are on a path to revolutionize the future of air travel, and even facilitate interplanetary transportation. In the quest to find a ...

Detonation and deflagration are two types of explosions that may look and sound simiar in real time, but in slow-motion, you can really tell the difference.

This summary provides an elucidation of the complex processes underlying flame acceleration and the subsequent transition to detonation in combustion systems. Flame acceleration, a phenomenon in which ...

(CBS) - A few weeks back we posted a fascinating video by the group "Smarter Every Day" that taught the difference between detonation and deflagration. Well, today we have another video by them that ...
