In Utah, simple possession of a dry ice bomb or similar pressurized chemical reaction bomb is a second-degree felony. [16] In Colorado, the creation of a dry ice bomb is considered illegal due to interpretation as "possession of an explosive device" [citation needed] Leaving an unexploded dry ice bomb can be construed as public endangerment.
In mid-September 1954, nuclear bombing tests were performed at the Totskoye proving ground during the training exercise Snezhok (Russian: Снежок, Snowball or Light Snow) with some 45,000 people, all Soviet soldiers and officers, [3] who explored the explosion site of a bomb twice as powerful as the one dropped on Nagasaki nine years earlier.
A dangerous weather phenomenon called a bomb cyclone that occurs in mid-latitudes - between Earth's tropics and the polar regions - can bring strong and damaging winds, torrential rains, heavy ...
Explosive cyclogenesis (also referred to as a weather bomb, [1] [2] [3] meteorological bomb, [4] explosive development, [1] bomb cyclone, [5] [6] or bombogenesis [7] [8] [9]) is the rapid deepening of an extratropical cyclonic low-pressure area. The change in pressure needed to classify something as explosive cyclogenesis is latitude dependent ...
This pulverized rock can also produce "volcanic winter" effects, if sulfate-bearing rock is hit in the impact and lofted high into the air, [225] and "nuclear winter" effects, with the heat of the heavier rock ejecta igniting regional and possibly even global forest firestorms. [226] [227]
In July 1962, the US carried out the Starfish Prime test, exploding a 1.44 Mt (6.0 PJ) bomb 400 kilometres (250 mi; 1,300,000 ft) above the mid-Pacific Ocean.This demonstrated that the effects of a high-altitude nuclear explosion were much larger than had been previously calculated.
A chlorine bomb is a small explosive device which uses the pressure of chemically produced chlorine gas or other chlorine-containing gases such as hydrogen chloride to produce an explosion. It is made with an airtight container part-filled with different types of chlorine tablet and other reagents.
