VII Dynamo exploder produced 110V, and the Mk. II/III Condenser Exploder 1500V • Blasting machines or Exploders are used to remotely set off small explosive charges known as detonators or blasting caps, which are necessary to set off larger charges of high explosives. In this video, we examine two British Commonwealth military blasting machines from the mid-20th Century - a Mk.VII Dynamo Exploder and a Mk.II Condenser or Beethoven Exploder - and discuss the early history of high explosives and initiation systems. • SOURCES • https://railroad.lindahall.org/essays... • https://www.henrysmilitarycollectable... • https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/REL... • https://talesfromthesupplydepot.blog/... • https://www.nonex.co.uk/exploders-non... • https://www.flickr.com/photos/russell... • https://talesfromthesupplydepot.blog/... • https://www.britannica.com/science/ni... • https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexpe... • https://www.pitandquarry.com/blasting...
