Oxyliquit, the Glossary
An Oxyliquit, also called liquid air explosive or liquid oxygen explosive, is an explosive material which is a mixture of liquid oxygen (LOX) with a suitable fuel, such as carbon (as lampblack), or an organic chemical (e.g. a mixture of soot and naphthalene), wood meal, or aluminium powder or sponge.[1]

Aluminium
Aluminium (Aluminum in North American English) is a chemical element; it has symbol Al and atomic number 13.
Ammonia
Ammonia is an inorganic chemical compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula.
Andy Weir
Andrew Taylor Weir (born June 16, 1972) is an American novelist.
ANFO
ANFO (or AN/FO, for ammonium nitrate/fuel oil) is a widely used bulk industrial high explosive. Oxyliquit and ANFO are Binary explosives.
Asphalt concrete
Asphalt concrete (commonly called asphalt, blacktop, or pavement in North America, and tarmac or bitumen macadam in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland) is a composite material commonly used to surface roads, parking lots, airports, and the core of embankment dams.
See Oxyliquit and Asphalt concrete
Boiling point
The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid and the liquid changes into a vapor.
See Oxyliquit and Boiling point
Borehole
A borehole is a narrow shaft bored in the ground, either vertically or horizontally.
Brisance
Brisance is the shattering capability of a high explosive, determined mainly by its detonation pressure.
Carbon black
Carbon black (with subtypes acetylene black, channel black, furnace black, lamp black and thermal black) is a material produced by the incomplete combustion of coal tar, vegetable matter, or petroleum products, including fuel oil, fluid catalytic cracking tar, and ethylene cracking in a limited supply of air.
See Oxyliquit and Carbon black
Carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide is a chemical compound with the chemical formula.
See Oxyliquit and Carbon dioxide
Carl von Linde
Carl Paul Gottfried von Linde (11 June 1842 – 16 November 1934) was a German scientist, engineer, and businessman.

Charcoal
Charcoal is a lightweight black carbon residue produced by strongly heating wood (or other animal and plant materials) in minimal oxygen to remove all water and volatile constituents.
Coal mining
Coal mining is the process of extracting coal from the ground or from a mine.
Detonation velocity
Explosive velocity, also known as detonation velocity or velocity of detonation (VoD), is the velocity at which the shock wave front travels through a detonated explosive.
See Oxyliquit and Detonation velocity
Diatomaceous earth
Diatomaceous earth, diatomite, celite or kieselgur/kieselguhr is a naturally occurring, soft, siliceous sedimentary rock that can be crumbled into a fine white to off-white powder.
See Oxyliquit and Diatomaceous earth
Dynamite
Dynamite is an explosive made of nitroglycerin, sorbents (such as powdered shells or clay), and stabilizers.
Explosive
An explosive (or explosive material) is a reactive substance that contains a great amount of potential energy that can produce an explosion if released suddenly, usually accompanied by the production of light, heat, sound, and pressure.
Germany
Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG), is a country in Central Europe.
Internet Archive

Naphthalene
Naphthalene is an organic compound with formula.
Nitrogen
Nitrogen is a chemical element; it has symbol N and atomic number 7.
Petroleum
Petroleum or crude oil, also referred to as simply oil, is a naturally occurring yellowish-black liquid mixture of mainly hydrocarbons, and is found in geological formations.
Quarry
A quarry is a type of open-pit mine in which dimension stone, rock, construction aggregate, riprap, sand, gravel, or slate is excavated from the ground.
Safety fuse
The safety fuse is a type of fuse invented and patented by English inventor William Bickford in 1831.
Simplon Tunnel
The Simplon Tunnel (Simplontunnel, Traforo del Sempione or Galleria del Sempione) is a railway tunnel on the Simplon railway that connects Brig, Switzerland and Domodossola, Italy, through the Alps, providing a shortcut under the Simplon Pass route.
See Oxyliquit and Simplon Tunnel
Soot
Soot is a mass of impure carbon particles resulting from the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons.
Sprengel explosive
Sprengel explosives are a generic class of materials invented by Hermann Sprengel in the 1870s.

Stanisław Lem
Stanisław Herman Lem (12 September 1921 – 27 March 2006) was a Polish writer of novels, short stories and essays on various subjects, including philosophy, futurology, and literary criticism.
See Oxyliquit and Stanisław Lem
Sugar
Sugar is the generic name for sweet-tasting, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in food.
Surface mining
Surface mining, including strip mining, open-pit mining and mountaintop removal mining, is a broad category of mining in which soil and rock overlying the mineral deposit (the overburden) are removed, in contrast to underground mining, in which the overlying rock is left in place, and the mineral is removed through shafts or tunnels.
