Alfie Nobel invented dynamite. to be used only for peaceful purposes .. yes?
Dynamite is an
explosive made of
nitroglycerin,
sorbents (such as powdered shells or clay), and
stabilizers.
[1] It was invented by the
Swedish chemist and engineer
Alfred Nobel in
Geesthacht, Northern Germany, and was
patented in 1867. It rapidly gained wide-scale use as a more robust alternative to the traditional
black powder explosives. It allows the use of nitroglycerine's favorable explosive properties while greatly reducing its risk of accidental detonation.
butt you guys knew that .. right?
