Pyrotechnic Chemistry
This text is written at an introductory to intermediate level. As such it is intended for readers with limited prior knowledge of chemistry or limited knowledge regarding specific areas of applied pyrotechnics. One goal of this text was to provide an extensive list of references, thus directing readers to sources of additional information. With a total of approximately 400 references that goal has been met; however, for the most part, citations to material that is readily found in numerous reference texts have not been included. Only when the information is attributable to a limited number of authors are specific references generally cited.The chapters are a collection of 19 papers written b...
Selected Pyrotechnic Publications of Dr. Takeo Shimizu Part 2
A collection of previously published technical papers that appeared in various publications between 1978 and 1995. The articles were translated into English, reformatted and laser reproduced. Many of the figures have been improved. Hopefully, the scientific information presented in these papers will prove to be useful to the reader.
Arming the Warship
In the 16th century, warships engaged at close range, sometimes with yards touching, and small arms fire and hand-to-hand combat were at least as important as the "great guns." As time went on, the big guns became more decisive and increased in destructive power, range and accuracy. This book explores how naval armament, armor, ballistics and gunnery evolved from the 16th to 20th centuries from a scientific and technological perspective. It examines the functional aspects--the guns and their distribution on warships, the propellants, the projectiles and so forth--and examines the development of each.
National Fire Codes
A compilation of NFPA codes, standards, recommended practices and manuals amended or adopted by NFPA at the annual meeting ...
Selected Pyrotechnic Publications of K. L. and B. J. Kosanke, Part 4
These are a collection of previously published technical papers on a variety of pyrotechnic topics. The articles have been reformatted into a 2-column, 81⁄2x11" format with medium print. Only those articles that continue to be of interest and use to pyrotechnicians have been included.
Laser Ignition of Energetic Materials
The book gives an introduction to energetic materials and lasers, properties of such materials and the current methods for initiating energetic materials. The following chapters and sections highlight the properties of lasers, and safety aspects of their application. It covers the properties of in-service energetic materials, and also materials with prospects of being used as insensitive ammunitions in future weapon or missiles systems or as detonators in civilian (mining) applications. Because of the diversity of the topics some sections will naturally separate into different levels of expertise and knowledge.
