And TNT made him a huge fortune because it requires *electricity* to detonate, and can therefore be transported safely (unlike, say, nitro-glycerine). Mark R. Paulin ...decvax!teklabs!tekmdp!markp

I thought that TNT needed heat and pressure (not electricity) to detonate. Doesn't the electricity just set off a detonating cap, which then sets off the TNT ? Just curious. Bill Dietrich houxj!wapd
