Explosive material

Before starting the Thickness of Aluminum Foil Lab, there were some questions that needed to be answered in order to have full a understanding of the topic. One very important thing in the experiment is measurements, and knowing the difference between a direct and indirect measurement was crucial. A direct measurement is when you measuring the exact object with instruments. A indirect measurement is when you are finding the measurement of something other then the actual object (n.d, 2015).…

Obtain a tin paint can, and cut the bottom off with a can opener. Cut a piece of wire mesh 7.5 inches in length, and 12 inches in width. Tie the ends of the wire mesh together with a piece of wire to form a cage. Place approximately 2 inches of Roxul Insulation on the inside of the can, and set the wire cage inside the can to secure the position of the insulation. Next, bind the tin can, wire mesh, and insulation together, with foil tape, by taping from the inside to the outside two or three…

Did you know that over 50 Billion plastic water bottles are used each year by Americans alone. That’s over 150 times the population of America. Just sit and think how many water bottles that actually is, because it is easy to forget how big of a number that actually is. I think bottle flipping should be banned for three main reasons: It’s bad for the environment, the bottles get left everywhere, and It’s loud and annoying. First off, those 50 billion water bottles have to go somewhere and…

identification marks along with some text, identify the owner. Higher status smiths made the high-quality gold and silver seals, were often goldsmiths, while other smiths, such as tinsmiths, tended to make the seals that are more mass-produced from cheaper materials. Matrices were mass produced they were easy to make so that an owner would have several different seal matrices within his or her lifetime. A seal was created when the matrix was pressed down into sealing wax, which was made of…

the drain. It costs a fraction of a penny for tap water when millions are waste to make bottled water. More than half of all bottled water comes from tap water. One of the worst problems for the economy is pollution and pollution made by plastic materials. The environment is in desperate need of recycling if the population persists on producing bottled…

To describe a human being, you would have to pick many qualities in order to truly paint a solid picture of a person. You can describe them and the subject might say “yes that sounds like me” but the reality is that we probably missed something. This is a really tough situation to be in and you could either insult someone because you missed something about them or they could think you do not really know them. Now imagine having to do it on yourself. You will read about how I am a mentor, how…

that surviving at times was a roll of the dice. We are trained to react to contact and out “gun” the enemy. With roadside bombs it’s either your day or it’s not. We had sat through hours of training that could help you spot and I.E.D, improvised explosive device. The difference between training and real life was the actual placement of the devices. In power point presentations that are thrown on the side of the road with a blatantly obvious detonation mechanism and stuck out like a sore thumb.…

Panjwai, Kandahar, Afghanistan, known as the heart of the Taliban, the birthplace; and I am headed there. I had just said goodbye to my wife whom at this point I have been married to for 4 months, and was now on my way to a combat deployment. My emotions were all over the place. I knew that I have to be the strong soldier for my peers, the soldier my leaders can trust and depend on, but I am also the loving husband that had to say goodbye to his wife. Furthermore, I knew that this could quite…

I woke up every morning in Iraq the same way. I would get up and I would get all my gear on. Today was different though, I woke up, and leaned over the side of my bed with a bad feeling in my stomach, I got up soon after. I laced up my boots, loaded my gun’s magazines, and then put my vest on. Then walked outside and the sun blinded me for a little bit. I later walked to where the Humvee was, it was going to take us on our route. When I got in the Humvee I saw one of my good buddies, Jaxon…

The crystal size is also affected by the rate of cooling and larger crystals were shown to be formed when fat was cooled at a slower cooling rate83. However the samples were not subjected to changes in the rate of cooling in this study. At higher temperatures (or lower supercooling conditions) due to decrease in the driving force, less crystals are formed although the crystals are larger in size as compared to those formed at lower temperatures83. At lower temperatures, due to the higher driving…
