HMX, also called octogen, is a powerful and relatively insensitive nitroamine high explosive chemically related to RDX. The compound's name is the subject of much speculation, having been variously listed as High Melting Explosive , High-velocity Military Explosive , or High-Molecular-weight RDX .
Skyblock is a minigame in the sandbox video game Minecraft. [1] The original minigame consists of a small island floating in the air, on which a player must survive on, [2] although the gameplay and rules may vary. [3] It was originally created by a user going by the name Noobcrew in 2011, and subsequently published to minecraftforum. [4]
Dense inert metal explosive (DIME) is an experimental type of explosive that has a relatively small but effective blast radius.It is manufactured by producing a homogeneous mixture of an explosive material (such as phlegmatized HMX or RDX) and small particles of a chemically inert material such as tungsten.
It marked SpaceX’s second attempt to launch Starship, after a previous test in April saw the rocket explode soon after launch. The company said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter: “With ...
The RPO-A and either the TGB-7V thermobaric rocket from the RPG-7 or rockets from either the RShG-1 or the RShG-2 is claimed to have been used by the Spetsnaz during the initial storming of the school. [84] [85] [86] At least three and as many as nine RPO-A casings were later found at the positions of the Spetsnaz.
The weapon therefore featured a metal shield attached to the launch tube to protect the operator’s face from the blast. With later designs such as the RPG-7, the rocket exits the launcher with a low-powered gunpowder charge, and the main rocket motor then fires after the rocket has travelled 10 m (33 ft). In some other designs, the propellant ...
Chemically, it is classified as a nitroamine alongside HMX, which is a more energetic explosive than TNT. It was used widely in World War II and remains common in military applications . RDX is often used in mixtures with other explosives and plasticizers or phlegmatizers (desensitizers); it is the explosive agent in C-4 plastic explosive and a ...
A monopropellant rocket (or "monochemical rocket") is a rocket that uses a single chemical as its propellant. [1] Monopropellant rockets are commonly used as small attitude and trajectory control rockets in satellites, rocket upper stages, crewed spacecraft, and spaceplanes.
