  3. Nearby explosions and open mouth - Straight Dope

    boards.straightdope.com/t/nearby-explosions-and-open-mouth/134122

    A: When the explosion goes off there is a pressure wave caused by the rapid burring of materials and thus the rapid change in volume of the explosive. If the actor’s mouth is closed, air at the pre-explosion pressure is trapped in the actor’s sinus area. The shock wave causes an area of high pressure to form around the actor.

    Horrible accident. I didn’t know walk in ovens existed This is a commercial bakery oven. It would be inefficient and extremely dangerous to try and turn a room into a oven. Anyone worked at Walmart or similar with a walk-in bakery Oven?

  7. Can the Hoover dam withstand a nuclear blast? - Straight Dope

    boards.straightdope.com/t/can-the-hoover-dam-withstand-a-nuclear-blast/2769

    About the difference in medium: Water dampens the explosion a bit, but remember the weight difference between water and air. Getting hit by a 40 mph gust of wind isn’t so bad, getting hit by a wave of water moving at 40 mph will knock you off your feet easily. On the bright side: the heat factor of the explosion will lessen the floods a bit.

    boards.straightdope.com/t/what-are-your-favorite-museums/1003612#!

    I was just thinking about all the museums I’ve visited over my lifetime and the ones I’ve liked the best. They might not be to most people’s taste; they might not be considered world-class, or necessarily have the best collection of any particular thing. But they are what I’ve liked best so I’m putting my list here, and I hope you will list yours too. I might want to put one of yours ...

    A corked bat is if you use Viagra, or a penis pump, or something. Astroturf could be… I don’t know, a merkin? A called game is when his/her parents come home at an inopportune moment. Making a move, realizing she’s not interested and trying to cover your tracks is a check swing. A case of blue balls means you’ve left runners on. And hey, thanks to Gaylord Perry, K-Y Jelly already has a ...

  10. Can anyone explain CLC (Charge Linear Cutting) for me please?

    boards.straightdope.com/t/can-anyone-explain-clc-charge-linear-cutting-for-me...

    I just started reading Frederick Forsythe’s “The Fourth Protocol”, and there’s a scene where a character has to break into a safe. He uses something called CLC, “charge linear cutting”, which is said to be a v-shape strip of explosive, which is apparently the best way to cut through metal. I can have a rough guess at how it could work, but I’m wondering if anyone does/has use(d ...

  11. Gun barrels and upper limits of pressure - Straight Dope

    boards.straightdope.com/t/gun-barrels-and-upper-limits-of-pressure/617830

    From what I understand, high velocity guns tend to use slower burning powder than low velocity guns to avoid overpressure. For example, a projectile going at about 1000 fps will typically require 3-4% of its weight in powder whereas a projectile going at 2000 fps will require something along the lines of 16-20%. Higher velocity projectiles also tend to have a lower diameter than slower ...
