There are numerous mentions of a "CDP" in the article, with only one reference (a Canadian patent). They feel shoehorned into the article and I'm unsure whether to just remove them entirely or try to better integrate them into the article. Is this even notable? 104.167.148.149 (talk) 22:15, 29 October 2018 (UTC) [reply ]

Hey, just wanted to alert anyone with this page on the watchlist that I made two talk page comments linked below. I'm not in any WP:PROJECT that watches this page, so feel free to look at my comments and correct me. Signed, I Am Chaos (talk) 00:26, 6 December 2021 (UTC) [reply ]

I also changed another 2 redirects that had a misspelling, but I doubt you guys need to look at them. These are them: Military explosive Primary explosives . Signed, I Am Chaos (talk) 00:26, 6 December 2021 (UTC) [reply ]

This demo of 3 explosives is interesting. It would be much more meaningful if they were identified. There are a lot if words at https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?search=Explosive&title=Special:MediaSearch&fulltext=search&type=video Could they be added as a note to the caption?

"a reactive substance that contains a great amount of potential energy" Relative to common chemical fuels (eg diesel) explosives do not contain a "great" amount of energy at all, they actually contain less. Their defining characteristic is that they release what energy they contain in an extremely short period of time. In physical terms, this is power, not energy. This definition would be "greatly" improved if the term "great amount of" were simply deleted. 37.152.237.108 (talk) 20:41, 17 December 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
