Alfred Nobel and the History of Dynamite

An unsuccessful demolition skill check means there is a time delay before the dynamite explodes. The DM should secretly roll initiative (+0) for the dynamite bundle (thereby inserting its explosion into the initiative order) and a 1d10-1 (to determine any delay prior to exploding).. In this video, we break down what's actually inside a stick of dynamite, how it explodes, and how it helped shape the modern world. ⏱️ Timestamps: 1:04 - Rewinding History: Explosives.

The first high explosive, nitroglycerine, was packaged with its detonator as dynamite. Dynamite is detonated by lighting a simple cord fuse, which carries a flame to a small cap of low explosive black powder; the ignition of the black powder causes a shockwave to propagate through the nitroglycerine—initiating detonation.. Dynamite is an explosive consisted of a flammable, combustible liquid called Nitroglycerin and an absorbent material called Diatomite molded into sticks. I chose to research dynamite because I was always interested in how an explosive packs a punch. Dynamite affects our lives in many ways but one major way is how they use it when building roads.
