    Bavovna (Ukrainian: бавовна, pronounced [bɐˈwɔu̯nɐ], literally "cotton") is a Ukrainian word and internet meme that originated during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, humorously used to refer to explosions, both those in Russian-occupied Ukraine and those in Russia itself.

  3. Explosive-driven ferromagnetic generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosive-driven...

    An explosive-driven ferromagnetic generator (EDFMG, explosively pumped ferromagnetic generator, EPFMG, or FMG) is a compact pulsed power generator, a device used for generation of short high-voltage high-current pulse by releasing energy stored in a permanent magnet. It is suited for delivering high-current pulses (kiloamperes) to low-impedance ...

  4. Explosively pumped flux compression generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosively_pumped_flux...

    The convergent cylindrical shock wave unleashed by the explosion produces a rapid contraction (greater than 1 km/s) of the central cylinder, compressing the magnetic field, and creating an inductive current, as per the explanation above (the speed of contraction permits, to first approximation, the neglect of Joule losses and the consideration ...

  5. Fukushima nuclear accident - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_nuclear_accident

    On 15 March, an explosion was observed at unit 4 RB during site evacuation. A team later returned to the power station to inspect unit 4, but were unable to do so due to the present radiological hazard. [8]: 44 The explosion damaged the fourth-floor rooftop area of Unit 4, creating two large holes in a wall of the reactor building (RB). The ...

  6. Explosive-driven ferroelectric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosive-driven...

    An explosive-driven ferroelectric generator (EDFEG, explosively pumped ferroelectric generator, EPFEG, or FEG) is a compact pulsed power generator, a device used for generation of short high-voltage high-current pulse. The energies available are fairly low, in the range of single joules, the voltages range in tens of kilovolts to over 100 kV ...

  7. Internet meme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_meme

    The phenomenon of dank memes sprouted a subculture called the "meme market", satirising Wall Street and applying the associated jargon (such as "stocks") to internet memes. Originally started on Reddit as /r/MemeEconomy, users jokingly "buy" or "sell" shares in a meme reflecting opinion on its potential popularity.

  8. Exploding wire method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_Wire_Method

    Van Marum's generator was built in 1784, and is now located in the Teylers Museum in the Netherlands. Years later, Benjamin Franklin vaporized thin gold leaf to burn images onto paper. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] While neither Marum nor Franklin actually incited the exploding wire phenomenon, they were both important steps towards its discovery.

  9. Explosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosion

    Explosion of unserviceable ammunition and other military items The explosion of the Castle Bravo nuclear bomb. An explosion is a rapid expansion in volume of a given amount of matter associated with an extreme outward release of energy, usually with the generation of high temperatures and release of high-pressure gases. Explosions may also be ...
