@X08The name dynamite comes from the Greek word @X05"@X08dynamis@X05"@X08@X05,@X08 meaning power@X05.@X08
Dynamite was invented by Nobel shortly after he made nitroglycerine@X05.@X08 It was
made because nitroglycerine was so dangerously sensitive to shock@X05.@X08 A misguided
individual with some sanity would@X05,@X08 after making nitroglycerine @X05(@X08an insane act@X05)@X08
would immediately convert it to dynamite@X05.@X08 This can be done by adding various
materials to the nitroglycerine@X05,@X08 such as sawdust@X05.@X08 The sawdust holds a large
weight of nitroglycerine per volume@X05.@X08 Other materials@X05,@X08 such as ammonium nitrate
could be added@X05,@X08 and they would tend to desensitize the explosive@X05,@X08 and increase
the power@X05.@X08 But even these nitroglycerine compounds are not really safe@X05.@X08
