If (2) two shock waves met each other at a shearing angle, would the shearing wave deflect the linear wave?
taking the same explosives, placing one in a position where it would for conversation sake be near the ground (12 inches) and pointed up and out a 45% angle. The opposing wave would be coming at an open atmospheric or direct onset. Would the angled wave up and out, disrupt the straight line wave?
1 AnswerPhysics1 decade agoIf two detonations took place next to eachother simultaneously, would the two waves nullify eachother?
If for instance, you placed 2 kilos 15 yards away from 2 kilos of HMX, RDX, (same velocities, etc.) What would be the result of the two blast waves encountering each other be? thanks! : )

1 AnswerPhysics1 decade agoAngstrom units, 1 to 10 (then in increments of 10 to X power) up to 1-100 meters?
I can understand an answer that says.."Yes, Angstroms go in these "X powers" until they hit one meter." Why so confusing?
For instance, looking here I see 4,000 through 8,000 (A) in a color guide, why then the thousands of (A's)? Then there are solar spectrum lines" of chemicals, then, emmision spectra, based on Li, Na, K, Rb.>>> How about just make that O2, H2, C, < the basic elements? Im just not getting it, and I need too, badly. Thanks! :)
1 AnswerPhysics1 decade agoDoes anyone have "factual data" on just How Fast can an Airbag Inflate?
I'm looking for it to be heavier than standard by about 10X current weight. If you can point me directly to sites that list inflation times, and most importantly Systems devised to inflate in the high ns or low milsec range....Thank you in advance. DW@SCI (Inv.of TacRail)
4 AnswersEngineering1 decade agoWhat is the signature light spectrum of a detonation at the time of initiation?
When a detonation takes place, it gives off many "properties", one of them being light. I would like to decipher the spectral signature at the center of an high order event.
3 AnswersChemistry1 decade agoWater weighs approx 8 lbs per gallon, can "lighter water" be made that is non toxic?
I think obviously their could be alot of uses for a non toxic light water. I wonder if any science geniuses out there could enlighten me.... :) Thanks, Dave
