  2. Calorimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorimeter

    Bomb calorimeter A bomb calorimeter is a type of constant-volume calorimeter used in measuring the heat of combustion of a particular reaction. Electrical energy is used to ignite the fuel; as the fuel is burning, it will heat up the surrounding air, which expands and escapes through a tube that leads the air out of the calorimeter.

  3. Thermobaric weapon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermobaric_weapon

    A thermobaric weapon, also called an aerosol bomb, or a vacuum bomb, [1] is a type of explosive munition that works by dispersing an aerosol cloud of gas, liquid or powdered explosive. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The fuel is usually a single compound, rather than a mixture of multiple substances. [ 4 ]

  4. Elitzur–Vaidman bomb tester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elitzur–Vaidman_bomb_tester

    The bomb in question: the bomb is placed inside the box beforehand on the "lower path". If the bomb is live and comes into contact with a photon, it will detonate and destroy itself and the photon. If, however, the bomb is a dud, the photon passes it by and continues on its way along the lower path.

  6. Antimatter weapon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter_weapon

    An antimatter weapon is a theoretically possible device using antimatter as a power source, a propellant, or an explosive for a weapon.Antimatter weapons are currently too costly and unreliable to be viable in warfare, as producing antimatter is enormously expensive (estimated at US$6 billion for every 100 nanograms), the quantities of antimatter generated are very small, and current ...

  7. Thermonuclear weapon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermonuclear_weapon

    A thermonuclear weapon, fusion weapon or hydrogen bomb (H bomb) is a second-generation nuclear weapon design. Its greater sophistication affords it vastly greater destructive power than first-generation nuclear bombs , a more compact size, a lower mass, or a combination of these benefits.

  8. FEATool Multiphysics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FEATool_Multiphysics

    FEATool Multiphysics is a fully integrated physics and PDE simulation environment where the modeling process is subdivided into six steps; preprocessing (CAD and geometry modeling), mesh and grid generation, physics and PDE specification, boundary condition specification, solution, and postprocessing and visualization.

  9. W88 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W88

    A spherically symmetric simulation is one-dimensional, while an axially symmetric simulation is two dimensional. Simulations typically divide up each dimension into discrete segments, so a one-dimensional simulation might involve only 100 points, while a similarly accurate two dimensional simulation would require 10,000.
