Black Powder Origins. It is unclear where the first use of black powder, also known as gunpowder, occurred. Black powder was known as gunpowder until its replacement by smokeless powder. After that, smokeless powder began to be called gunpowder and black powder began to be known as black powder. For many years, experts believed that the Chinese were the first to develop black powder. It was also thought that they used black powder as a propellant by the 10th century. Recent research revealed inconclusively that black powder might actually have been developed earlier in Arabia.

How the Black Death Worked How the Black Death Worked. In his introduction to The Decameron (circa 1351), Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio captures the uncertainty and fear that accompanied the Black Death's sweep through Europe from 1347 to 1351. It could have been caused by the influence of celestial bodies or by God's wrath, Boccaccio wrote.

- Dynamite was invented by Alfred Nobel and was the first safely manageable explosive stronger than black powder. Nobel obtained patents for his invention in England on May 7, 1867, in Sweden on October 19, 1867.t contains 75% RDX, 15% TNT, 5% SAE 10 motor oil, and 5% cornstarch, but much safer to store and handle for long periods than Nobel's dynamite. Military dynamite achieves greater stability by avoiding the use of nitroglycerin and uses much more stable chemicals.

Otto von Guericke: Father of Vacuums Otto von Guericke: Father of Vacuums. Otto von Guericke was a German scientist born in the town of Magdeburg, Germany. He is best remembered for founding the physics of vacuums. In 1650, Otto invented a vacuum pump that was designed to pull air out of whatever vessel to which it was connected. It contained a piston and an air-gun cylinder with one-way flap valves.

Alfred Nobel - His Life and Work inventor of dynamite in 1866. Alfred Nobel. AT A GLANCE: In 1866, Alfred Nobel discovered that mixing nitroglycerine with silica would turn the liquid into a paste which could be shaped into rods of a size and form suitable for insertion into drilling holes. In 1867 he patented this material under the name of dynamite.

The Chemistry of Gunpowder In subsequent centuries it had military applications in rifles and cannons, but in these it has long since been replaced by modern, smokeless powders. The fireworks industry is one of the last major industries that still uses traditional black powder. Rather than being one particular compound, gunpowder is actually a mix of three different components. It consists of potassium nitrate (75% by weight), charcoal (15% by weight), and sulfur (10% by weight).

- Unfortunately, to date, nobody has managed to successfully build an engine powdered by gunpowder, unless you know better. Today, gunpowder (or black powder) has been used in the following guises: 1  FIREARMS – in bullets and cartridges. 2  SPECIAL EFFECTS IN FILMS – explosions. 3  EXPLOSIVES – for quarrying. 4  FIREWORKS – across the board.
