Dynamites

Dynamites are a type of explosive material that have been used since the late 19th century. They are composed of nitroglycerin, a highly unstable and sensitive liquid, mixed with a stabilizer such as diatomaceous earth or kieselguhr. This mixture is then packed into a casing, typically made of metal or cardboard, and sealed with a fuse or detonator. Dynamites are known for their relatively low sensitivity to impact and friction, making them safer to handle than other explosives. They are commonly used in mining, construction, and demolition, as well as in military applications. However, due to their sensitivity to heat and shock, dynamites must be handled with care to prevent accidental detonation. The use of dynamites has declined in recent years due to the development of safer and more efficient explosives, but they remain an important tool in certain industries.
