Book excerpt: Excerpt 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.

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 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Artillery and Explosives: Essays and Lectures Written and Delivered at Various Times; With Diagrams and Illustrations Some apology is certainly due for the republication of the Papers and Lectures which appear in this volume, but I have been asked so Often, chiefly by foreign friends, for papers which were out of print that I at last thought it better to republish. But here again I was placed in a position of some difficulty, for the Papers, having been published at intervals during a period of nearly fifty years, had necessarily from their nature a good deal of repetition, and I soon found that, were I to attempt to remove this defect, I should have practically to rewrite the whole volume. I, therefore, decided that it was better to republish the Papers precisely as they were written or delivered, and it may be that this decision has certain advantages. Extraordinary as has been the advance in every department of Science during the long reign of Queen Victoria, the progress in Naval and Artillery Science has been no less remarkable. When I entered the Service, the line-of-battle ships were all sailing vessels, and their armaments and appliances differed but little, except as regards size, from those in use in the days of Henry VIII. And of Queen Elizabeth. Mechanical contrivances the older Officers would not hear of, and I have heard more than one declare that no contrivance should be allowed on board a man-of - war which could not be handled and repaired by the Blue Jackets, who had proved the efficiency both of men and material in so many victorious actions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of Explosives High and Low Explosives - Explosives are, in popular lan guage, divided into High and Low, and of these two classes dynamite and gunpowder may be taken as the respective types. NO hard and fast line can be drawn between them, but, speaking generally, we may class as high explosives those which are habitually fired by detonation, and used for purposes where a destructive rather than a propelling effect is aimed at. The effect Of an explosion in a confined space is two-fold. It produces pressure, tending to simple rending of the containing envelope; and, rupture being effected, work or projectile effects.
