Looking for information

[jokers_wild]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find information on how and
what happens during an explosion or fireworks and stuff. I'm looking for a
fairly technical explanation, possibly including diagrams and stuff. Thanks.

gases are being released at a high rate of speed. not only that but also the
release of energy in the form of sound, light and heat. the destructive nature
of explosions comes mostly from the fact that these gases are compressed and in
large scale explosions are often superheated so that objects around the
epicenter are bombarded with the gas particles at extremely high rates of
speed. complicated enough for ya, punk?

im looking for info about these different gases and chemicals and how and
why differen chemical react to one another, but only chemicals that can blow
things up. thanks though

You really need to take at least a high school chemistry course before
thinking about pyro.

dude, please, for the love of god, do some studying first. you don't want to
end up being one of those idiots that mixed a sulfate and a chlorate then
shook it up. 'course you don't know what those are, BUT YOU SHOULD

hmm, should have asked that the first time. materials react to each other
because of some form of atomic affinty. this directly relates to electron
bonding sites. why do you need diagrams? are you doing some school project that
you want to look pretty or something?

And it gets MUCH more complex when you not only want to know why it goes
bang, but why it looks a certain way.
Flash for example, makes a bright flash, because it produced lots of
gaseous (liquid?) aluminium oxide, which takes quite a while to solidify,
and while it's doing that, it glows brightly.

This means that a fair amount of the chemical energy goes into light,
rather than just heat, or sound.

Comparing a black powder cracker, and flash, of the same total energy release,
the flash will be much brighter.

Don't waste your breath, he has no idea what the fuck you're talking about
