Alfred Nobel invented dynamite in 1867 after several years of experimenting with nitroglycerin. A tragic explosion at his family's factory that killed his brother motivated Nobel to invent a safer explosive. He achieved this by mixing nitroglycerin with diatomaceous earth, creating dynamite. Dynamite proved much more stable and practical to use than pure nitroglycerin. Nobel went on to profit greatly from his dynamite patents and founded factories around the world to produce dynamite, which revolutionized industries like mining, quarrying, construction and demolition through its powerful and controllable explosive capabilities.

• One part diatomaceous
earth
• Small admixture of sodium
carbonate.

9. How does Dynamite Works
Boom!!! Did you
hear
that explosion?
Some people believe the burning wick actually sets off
the nitroglycerin. In reality, a stick of dynamite can
be burned without exploding. It's the
small explosion of the blasting cap that is required
to cause the nitroglycerin to explode.

10. Alfred and Business
He owned Bofors, a major
armaments manufacturer,
which he had redirected
from its previous role
as an iron and steel
mill.

11. Alfred Nobel’s Dynamite
company
An entirely new industry grew up, based on
Nobel’s patents and with Nobel as the
initiator. Within ten years, 16 explosives
producing factories had been founded in 14
countries with Nobel as shareholder or co-
owner.

12. Industrial Organization
Copernicus was
a great astronomer.
He formulated
the theory of
the solar system The variety
of forms in which dynamite
production was organized in
the different countries –
• Private firms
• Partnership
• Limited joint-stock companies
• Reflected the contemporary transition between old
and new in industrial enterprise.

13. Profitability
#Throughout the 1870s, the
German company, with its
five factories, was the
largest with regard to
both production and
exports, and until the
middle of the decade,
with regard to profits
as well.
#The Swiss and Italian Nobel companies were no
success during the 70s; it is doubtful
whether they had any actual profits at all.
The French company developed only slowly.
The Spanish company was a success from the
start.
