Default Re: Explosions!

Fun program, but he missed out on fuel-air explosions. They're pretty important since they propel cars and bikes around.

Demonstrating a fuel-air explosion on a small scale would be tricky, if only because you need a decent shock wave to trigger detonation instead of deflagration. Maybe a weather balloon full of ethylene oxide/air initiated by a hydrogen/oxygen explosion might hit the spot.
