@X08If a highly flammable substance is atomized@X05,@X08 or@X05,@X08 divided into very small
particles@X05,@X08 and large amounts of it is burned in a confined area@X05,@X08 an explosion
similar to that occurring in the cylinder of an automobile is produced@X05.@X08 The
tiny droplets of gasoline burn in the air@X05,@X08 and the hot gasses expand rapidly@X05,@X08
pushing the cylinder up@X05.@X08 Similarly@X05,@X08 if a gallon of gasoline was atomized and
ignited in a building@X05,@X08 it is very possible that the expanding gassed would push
the walls of the building down@X05.@X08 This phenomenon is called an atomized particle
explosion@X05.@X08 If a person can effectively atomize a large amount of a highly
flammable substance and ignite it@X05,@X08 he could bring down a large building@X05,@X08 bridge@X05,@X08
or other structure@X05.@X08 Atomizing a large amount of gasoline@X05,@X08 for example@X05,@X08 can be
extremely difficult@X05,@X08 unless one has the aid of a high explosive@X05.@X08 If a gallon
jug of gasoline was placed directly over a high explosive charge@X05,@X08 and the charge
was detonated@X05,@X08 the gasoline would instantly be atomized and ignited@X05.@X08 If this
occurred in a building@X05,@X08 for example@X05,@X08 an atomized particle explosion would surely
occur@X05.@X08 Only a small amount of high explosive would be necessary to accomplish
this feat@X05,@X08 about 1@X05/@X082 a pound of T@X05.@X08N@X05.@X08T@X05.@X08@X05,@X08 or 1@X05/@X084 a pound of R@X05.@X08D@X05.@X08X@X05.@X08 Also@X05,@X08 instead
of gasoline@X05,@X08 powdered aluminum could be used@X05.@X08 It is necessary that a high
explosive be used to atomize a flammable material@X05,@X08 since a low@X05-@X08order explosion
does not occur quickly enough to atomize or ignite the flammable material@X05.@X08
