A conventional bomb has a casing containing explosives, a detonation or ignition system, and an initiation device or fuse. |
Even this development necessitated the continued use of the proximity fuze in the control of its point of detonation. |
It took the detonation from his mercury fulminate blasting cap to initiate the explosion. |
By the end of the vignette, when the bombs are placed and we are waiting for detonation, the tension is almost unbearable. |
Its high octane rating delivers strong engine performance by helping engines resist detonation so they can run higher compression ratios. |
I froze, gaping for a second until the sound of the detonation, a sharp pop at that distance, shook me out of it. |
