Pvc cannon2
This document discusses the history and construction of PVC pipes and potato cannons. It explains that potato cannons use compressed air to propel potatoes at high speeds, and that hairspray works as an explosive propellant. The document also covers how to solvent weld PVC pipes, the history and composition of black powder, and different types of cannons including rifled and smoothbore cannons used in the Civil War.
Cartridge
The document summarizes the components and functioning of cartridges used in shotguns and rifles. It describes the key parts of a cartridge including the case, primer, gunpowder, wads and bullets. The case contains the primer, gunpowder and bullet and comes in different materials. It ensures the components stay together and seals in gases. Shotguns use multiple small shot pellets while rifles have a single elongated bullet. When the trigger is pulled, the firing pin strikes the primer igniting the gunpowder and propelling the bullet down the barrel.
Rifled ammunition
This document defines ammunition and its key components. It discusses that ammunition consists of a case, propellant, projectile, and initiation mixture contained in a shell or cartridge. It then describes the main parts of rifle cartridges including the cartridge case, primer, propellant, projectile, and lubricants. The cartridge case houses the other components and comes in different materials like brass. The primer ignites the propellant which propels the projectile through the barrel. Projectiles can be non-jacketed, semi-jacketed, or fully-jacketed bullets made of various materials. Lubricants are also used to reduce friction when fired.
Primer & Propellant
This document discusses primers and propellants used in firearms. It defines a primer as the chemical or device that initiates propellant combustion, propelling a projectile out of the gun barrel. There are two main types of primers: Boxer and Berdan. The primer contains an impact-sensitive lead styphnate igniter that ignites when struck by the firing pin. Propellants like black powder or smokeless powder fill the cartridge and generate gas pressure when ignited by the primer to push the bullet down the barrel. Forensic analysis of primers and propellants can help identify bullets and link firearms to crime scenes.
Pop rivet
Pop rivets is a permanent mechanical fastener. Before being installed, a rivet consists of a smooth cylindrical shaft with a head on one finish. The end opposite to the top is termed the tail. On installation the rivet is placed in a punched or drilled hole, and the tail is upset, or bucked (i.e., deformed), so that it expands to regarding one.times the original shaft diameter, holding the rivet in place.

Stainless Steel
Stainless steel are a range of alloys containing at least 10.5% chromium.
Stainless steel is widely used for roofing, cladding, interior and exterior trim owing to its combined strength and low maintenance.
The corrosion resistance of iron-chromium alloys was first recognized in 1821 by French metallurgist Pierre Berthier, who noted their resistance against attack by some acids and suggested their use in cutlery. Metallurgists of the 19th century were unable to produce the combination of low carbon and high chromium found in most modern stainless steels, and the high-chromium alloys they could produce were too brittle to be practical.
Stainless steel is available in square, rectangular and circular hollow section as well as the standard section for structural work.

Gunpowder
Gunpowder was first created by Chinese alchemists in the 9th century as a result of their quest for an elixir of life, and was originally composed of potassium nitrate, charcoal, and sulfur. It was primarily used for fireworks until the 10th century when it saw its first military applications in rocket propelled arrows used against the Mongolians. When combusted, gunpowder will deflagrate instead of detonate, producing enough force for a bullet to be shot from a weapon without rupturing the barrel. It remained a Chinese monopoly until the 13th century when it began spreading to Europe and the Middle East via the Silk Road, where it was mainly used in cannons before being incorporated

Zn Zinc
Zinc is a transition metal with an atomic number of 30. It was discovered in 1746 by German chemist Andreas Marggraf through an experiment where he heated zinc ore with charcoal. Zinc has a melting point of 419.58°C and is used in galvanization to prevent rust, in zinc-air batteries, and makes up 97.5% of the U.S. penny. The human body contains around 1.5 grams of zinc which is essential for cell growth, wound healing, and protein synthesis. Common sources of dietary zinc include meat, cheese, and flour.
Medieval warfare
Medieval warfare relied heavily on melee weapons like swords, hammers, and daggers. Swords were the most prestigious weapon and came in single-handed and two-handed varieties. Archers used bows like the longbow to attack from a distance. Infantry fought on foot in tight formations while knights battled as heavy cavalry. Siege weapons such as trebuchets and battering rams were used to assault castles. The advent of gunpowder began to change traditional medieval warfare and weapons. Famous medieval battles included Hastings, Sluys, and Agincourt.

World war II Secret Weapons
World War II saw countries developing secret and unusual weapons. [1] Britain proposed an aircraft carrier made of pykrete, a wood pulp-reinforced ice mixture that was bulletproof. The project was abandoned due to the massive refrigeration needs. [2] The Soviet Union attempted to attach wings to tanks, but the project was cancelled because airborne tanks lacked armor. [3] The U.S. made explosive pancakes coated in flour that could pass as food to sabotage Japanese supply lines. Tallboy bombs could tunnel underground to collapse Nazi bunkers from within. Many strange ideas were attempted but never fully realized due to practical limitations.

World War I
This one is long, but packed to the brim with good stuff. It covers the causes of WWI, the changes in weaponry and tactics (or lack thereof), the strategies and eventual results of The Great War. There's also a few asides on such things as shell shock.
Introduction to Forensic Ballistics
1. Ballistics is the science dealing with the motion, impact, launching and flight behavior of projectiles. It includes interior, exterior and terminal ballistics.
2. A firearm uses an assembly of a primer, propellant and projectile(s) to generate power and discharge the projectile(s) at high velocity. Common firearms include revolvers, self-loading rifles, and shotguns.
3. A cartridge contains the primer, propellant and projectile(s) assembled into a container. It uses the energy from burning propellant gases to launch the projectile(s) down the barrel of the firearm.
Forming
The document provides information on various forming processes including rolling, extrusion, shearing, spinning, deep drawing, and forging. It describes the basic principles, key advantages, common materials used, and brief histories for each process. Rolling is used to reduce thickness and increase length of materials like metals. Extrusion forces pre-heated material through a die to form a constant cross-section. Shearing uses blades to make straight cuts in sheet metal. Spinning forms tubular parts by stretching sheet material against a rotating form. Deep drawing stretches sheet metal into cups or pans using a punch and die. Forging shapes heated metal using dies or hammers to develop strength.
Status presentation
The document describes a student project to build a small-scale model of a rail gun to launch model aircraft. The rail gun works by using high electrical currents to accelerate a conductive projectile along conductive rails without explosives. The students researched how rail guns work and are designing their model to be safe, using aluminum rails and a small power source. They have encountered issues with dimensions, wires disconnecting, and the projectile not launching, but have been troubleshooting solutions such as premeasuring, checking wire connections, and testing different projectiles and positions. Their most recent test produced a spark across the nail projectile.
Fullerene
Fullerenes are carbon allotropes composed entirely of carbon in hollow spherical, ellipsoid, or tubular structures. In 1985, Kroto, Curl, and Smalley discovered buckminsterfullerene (C60) through molecular beam experiments that observed discrete carbon molecule peaks, including at 60 atoms. C60 is named after geodesic dome architect Buckminster Fuller due to its similar structure. Fullerenes have applications as polymer additives, in carbon nanotubes used for strong, conductive materials like tennis rackets and aircraft composites, and in molecular pumps and nanowires for electrical motors and light bulbs.
