Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual on Explosives It remained, however, for the German monk Schwarz to first utilize this explosive mixture as a propellant to throw a mass of stone or iron through the air in a more efficient manner than had been possible with the purely mechanical means formerly employed, such as the catapult and the crossbow. Schwarz's invention of firearms is now generally concluded to have taken place about the year 1313, and shortly afterwards, in the reign of Edward 111, we find in the accounts of the -royal Household items relating to the purchase of sulphur and saltpetre for the guns, and it is a further established fact that guns or bombards, _ as they were then called, were used by the English at the Battle of Cre in the year 1346. From that time onwards. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt 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.

This book was released on 2018-09-22 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Explosive Materials, a Series of Lectures Delivered Before the College De France, at Paris: To Which Is Added a Short Historical Sketch of Gunpowder The subject of explosives is, chiefly through the labors of M. Berthelot, now recognized as a part of the exten sive subject of thermo-chemistry. A certain amount of chemical action in volved in any particular combustion, means to the chemist a determinate fixed amount of sensible heat evolved, and an equally determinate amount of possible mechanical effect'. Thus the relative value of various explosive com pounds may be determined with a fair degree of certainty from a knowledge of the chemical elements concerned. The modern theory here. Recognized is the basis of the manufacture of the various forms of explosives Which arenow adapted to such a wide variety of purposes; the arts of peace requiring even more than the art oi war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt 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 or read book Dictionary of Explosives Classic Reprint written by Arthur Marshall and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt 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.

Download or read book Explosives and Their Power written by C. Napier Hake and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Explosives and Their Power: Translated and Condensed From the French of M. Berthelot The great work of M. Berthelot has for some years been a a mine from which copious stores of valuable matter have been obtained and translated into various languages. So far, however, no English translation or adaptation of the book, as a whole, has appeared. The idea of making such a translation, or, rather, condensation, of M. Berthelot's somewhat bulky volumes occurred some time ago to Mr. Hake and myself. Circumstances, however, notably the appointment of Mr. Hake to the Inspectorship of Explosives in the Colony of Victoria, and a considerable pressure on my own time, prevented our carrying out this project in the way originally intended. But Mr. Macnab, then associated with, and subsequently successor to, Mr. Hake in his London business, has undertaken and carried out the larger portion of the very laborious work involved, and thus it is really to his energy and kindness that the work as it now appears is due. M. Berthelot's reputation as a scientist is world-wide; his atten tion was first especially drawn to explosives in the year 1870, and his labours have been continued with little, if any, inter mission to the present time. The great key-note of the work now translated is the applica tion of thermo-chemistry to the study of explosives. Though not the first in this field, yet M. Berthelot has, in the extent and variety of his researches, eclipsed his colleagues, and it is mainly due to him that thermo-chemistry occupies the position which it now holds in this department of science.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Explosives, Vol. 1: History and Manufacture; With 77 Illustrations Since the late Mr. Oscar Guttmann published his work on the Manufacture of Explosives in 1895 no comprehensive book on this subject has appeared in English. In the interval the explosives industry has undergone many changes every branch of it has developed enormously - even that of black powder; and scientific investigations have thrown light on many of the problems that arise in the manufacture and use of explosives. Especially during the last few years many obscure points have been cleared up. It is hoped therefore that the present work will be found to supply a real want.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Manufacture of Explosives, Vol. 1: A Theoretical and Practical Treatise on the History, the Physical and Chemical Properties and the Manufacture of Explosives Whilst this book was being written, a series of anarchist outrages in various parts of Europe led many Governments to seriously consider the necessity of Special legislation to prevent their recurrence. I therefore had also to consider whether the publication of a new book on explosives might not at the time be ill-advised; but the more I thought the matter over, the clearer it became to me that delay was quite unnecessary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Explosives Materials: The Phenomena and Theories of Explosion and the Classification, Constitution and Preparation of Explosives The first edition Of this number Of Van Nostrand's Science Series having become exhausted, it became necessary, in order to keep the series complete, to issue a new edition. But in the fifteen years which have elapsed since the appearance of the first edition, many changes have taken place in the views regarding the phenomena of explosions, and many new explosives have attracted the world's at tention, particularly the important class of smokeless powders. Therefore, since the theory advanced by Berthelot no longer accounts for all the known phe nomena, it was deemed best by the pub lishers to have the entire number re written.
