An underwater explosion (also known as an UNDEX) is a chemical or nuclear explosion that occurs under the surface of a body of water. While useful in anti-ship and submarine warfare, underwater bombs are not as effective against coastal facilities.
Shock factor is a commonly used figure of merit for estimating the amount of shock experienced by a naval target from an underwater explosion as a function of explosive charge weight, slant range, and depression angle (between vessel and charge).
An explosion is a type of spontaneous chemical reaction that, once initiated, is driven by both a large exothermic change (great release of heat) and a large positive entropy change (great quantities of gases are released) in going from reactants to products, thereby constituting a thermodynamically favorable process in addition to one that ...
Underwater explosions using dry ice and liquid nitrogen are captured in high definition slow motion by The Backyard Scientist.
The damage that an underwater explosion inflicts on a submarine comes from a primary and a secondary shock wave. The primary shock wave is the initial shock wave of the depth charge, and will cause damage to personnel and equipment inside the submarine if detonated close enough.
YouTube duo The Slow Mo Guys are no strangers to slow motion explosions, whether it's eggs, capacitors, or levitating apples.In the video above they dial it up to a whopping five million frames ...
Authorities say the missing Titan submersible was destroyed in a catastrophic implosion sometime after it submerged on Sunday. Former Navy submarine operator Mark Barry joined Scripps News to ...
An explosion of a naval mine A naval mine is a self-contained explosive device placed in water to damage or destroy surface ships or submarines . Similar to anti-personnel and other land mines , and unlike purpose launched naval depth charges , they are deposited and left to wait until, depending on their fuzing , they are triggered by the ...
