Explosion tests Oxyliquit

Tests of oxyliquit at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM - Berlin). Oxyliquit or Liquid Oxygen Explosives (LOX-Ex) in comparison tests to gelatine explosives (sort of dynamite). Every mass of explosives charge was 1 kg. It was measured: ground motion (seismic), shock wave pressure, shock wave running times and destruction level per on-lying charge on armored heavy concrete (concrete of bunker).

Thank you for the comment.

LOX is a mass product, for example company "Linde" or "Air Liquid".

LOX explosive is cheaper and more high-energy than the most classic explosives.

Many new applications shall be developed in all areas.

Yes, liquid oxygen (LOX) is an excellent oxydator: These Liquid-Oxygen-Fuel mixtures are very high-energy explosives; more then 9000 kJ/kg.

But, very important is the chemical reaction time --> the performance.

For example a mixture to be made up of Hydro-Ssilicon and oxygen powder accomplished the highest levels of performance; more then 10.000.000 Watt per Nano-Gram mixture !
