  2. Implosion (mechanical process) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implosion_(mechanical_process)

    With implosion (bottom), the object collapses upon itself (generally being crushed by an outside force). Implosion is the collapse of an object into itself from a pressure differential or gravitational force. The opposite of explosion (which expands the volume), implosion reduces the volume occupied and concentrates matter and energy. Implosion ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncontrolled_decompression

    Explosive decompression occurs typically in less than 0.1 to 0.5 seconds, a change in cabin pressure faster than the lungs can decompress. [1] [3] Normally, the time required to release air from the lungs without restrictions, such as masks, is 0.2 seconds. [4]

    “Both an implosion and an explosion need some form of stored energy. In typical explosive materials, the stored energy is chemical and is released through a chemical reaction. In the case of a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RaLa_Experiment

    The RaLa Experiment, or RaLa, was a series of tests during and after the Manhattan Project designed to study the behavior of converging shock waves to achieve the spherical implosion necessary for compression of the plutonium pit of the nuclear weapon.

  9. Sonoluminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonoluminescence

    Any discussion of sonoluminescence must include a detailed analysis of metastability. Sonoluminescence in this respect is what is physically termed a bounded phenomenon meaning that the sonoluminescence exists in a bounded region of parameter space for the bubble; a coupled magnetic field being one such parameter.
