Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Deflagration vs detonation difference?

Deflagrations propagate subsonically via heat transfer; detonations travel supersonically via shockwaves.

What does the ideal gas law explain?

P*V = n*R*T explains why catastrophic temperature spikes drive explosive gas expansions.

How are blast shockwaves attenuated?

Through sacrificial blast deflection barriers that shatter overpressure fronts.
