Twenty20 cricket is claimed to have resulted in a more athletic and explosive form of cricket. Indian fitness coach Ramji Srinivasan declared in an interview with the Indian fitness website Takath.com that Twenty20 had "raised the bar" in terms of fitness levels for all players, demanding higher levels of strength, speed, agility and reaction ...
The velocity of detonation is an important indicator for overall energy and power of detonation, and in particular for the brisance or shattering effect of an explosive which is due to the detonation pressure. The pressure can be calculated using Chapman-Jouguet theory from the velocity and density.
Tovex is a 50/50 aqueous solution of ammonium nitrate and methylammonium nitrate (sometimes also called monomethylamine nitrate, or PR-M), sensitized fuels, and other ingredients including sodium nitrate prills, finely divided (paint-grade) aluminum, finely divided coal, proprietary materials to make some grades cap sensitive, and thickening agents to enhance water resistance and to act as ...
The test is performed by loading a 10-gram foil-wrapped sample of the explosive into a hole drilled into a lead block with specific dimensions and properties (a soft lead cylinder, 200 mm diameter and 200 mm high, with the hole 125 mm deep, and 25 mm diameter). [1] The hole is then topped up with sand, and the sample is detonated electrically ...
[1] [3] It is a form of power training which can involve throwing weights, jumping with weights, or swinging weights in order to increase explosive power. [4] The intention in ballistic exercises is to maximise the acceleration phase of an object's movement and minimise the deceleration phase.
For example, high-explosive 65% Extra dynamite has a weight strength of 65% ammonium nitrate and 35% "dope" (the absorbent medium mixed with the stabilizers and additives). Its "cartridge strength" would be its weight in pounds times its strength in relation to an equal amount of ANFO (the civilian baseline standard) or TNT (the military ...
Composition B (Comp B), also known as Hexotol and Hexolite (among others), is a high explosive consisting of castable mixtures of RDX and TNT. It is used as the main explosive filling in artillery projectiles , rockets , land mines , hand grenades , and various other munitions . [ 1 ]
Since the previous edition, three Test-playing nations had introduced new Twenty20 tournaments.Australia established the city-based Big Bash League, replacing the established state structured KFC Twenty20 Big Bash, [4] the Sri Lanka Premier League also featured city-based franchise teams, [5] [6] and the Bangladesh Premier League was established in February 2012, although teams from the league ...
