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 ]
[7] [8] Their design of a refillable spray can, dubbed the aerosol bomb or bug bomb, is the ancestor of many commercial spray products. It was a hand-sized steel can charged with a liquefied gas under 75 pounds of pressure and a product to be expelled as a mist or a foam. [9]
Some defense analysts question both the yield of the bomb and whether it could be deployed by a Tupolev Tu-160 bomber. A report by Wired [7] says photos and the video of the event suggest that it is designed to be deployed from the rear of a slow moving cargo plane, and they note that the bomb-test video released by the Russians never shows both the bomb and the bomber in the same camera shot.
From 1942 through 1945, more than 40 million "aerosol bombs" were sent to the troops. In 1945, Goodhue, often called the "Father of the Aerosol Industry", joined Airosol, Inc., [15] in Neodesha, Kansas, as director of research. This company, which had been originally established to manufacture aerosol containers of insecticide for the military ...
Also known as aerosol bombs or vacuum bombs, the artillery system can help fire thermobaric missiles filled with a highly explosive fuel and chemical mix, which, on exploding, can cause supersonic ...
For two thermonuclear bombs for which the general size and primary characteristics are well understood, the Ivy Mike test bomb and the modern W-80 cruise missile warhead variant of the W-61 design, the radiation pressure was calculated to be 73 × 10 ^ 6 bar (7.3 TPa) for the Ivy Mike design and 1,400 × 10 ^ 6 bar (140 TPa) for the W-80.
Here’s how Lysol Disinfectant Spray actually works, and where you can possibly still find it
As 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile is a solid at room temperature, not a gas, a variety of techniques have been used to make this solid usable as an aerosol: Melted and sprayed in the molten form. Dissolved in organic solvent. CS2 dry powder (CS2 is a siliconized, micro-pulverized form of CS). CS from thermal grenades by generation of hot gases. [2]
