What exsplosives are used for

There are thousands of uses for explosives.  The most commonly known one is for killing people but it is in fact one of its least common uses.  The most common place you will find high violist explosives is in your car.  Air bags are inflated by the chemical reaction when nitro guanidine is ignited.  This rapid expansion of gas pushes the bag into your face reducing the impact and saving your life.
Other common uses for explosives are mining, fireworks, Rockets, excavated and many more.  Rockets as in the ones NASA use are powered by explosives all a rocket engine dose is directionalis an explosion.  NASA’s rockets are a bit more sophisticated but run on the same principle.  Make a fast traveling and rapidly islanding gas in a certain direction and it will force what’s containing it to go the other way.  It is of cores a lot more complicated than that but I haven’t got time to go into greater detailed.
In my next post I will cover famous explosives of history.
