Nitro-glycerine, with the molecular formula C3H5(ONO2)3, has a high nitrogen content (18.5 percent) and contains sufficient oxygen atoms to oxidize the carbon and hydrogen atoms while nitrogen is being liberated, so that it is one of the most powerful explosives used. Nitro-glycerine is extremely sensitive to shock and to rapid heating; it begins to decompose at 50 to 60 °C and explodes at 218 °C. nitro-glycerine has a high freezing point (13 °) and the solid is even more shock-sensitive than the

The elastic bands on each side of the pyramid allowed for a safety net that allowed the large styrofoam ball to bounce around. Moreover, I made a hole in the large styrofoam ball which ensured its safety. Most designs had a similar
