"If I have a thousand ideas and only one turns out to be good, I am satisfied." - Alfred Nobel
- One good idea is better than none!

- About Dynamite
    - Created by Alert Nobel
        - Yes, he also instituted the Nobel Peace Prize.
        - ...and had a great beard.
    - Ingredients
        - Nitroglycerin
        - An Absorbent Inert Substance
            - Originally Diatomaceous Earth (but can be...)
            - Sawdust
            - Powdered Shells
            - Clay
            - Wood Pulp
        - A Small Amount of Sodium Carbonate
    - Nobel's Invention Notes
        - He found this mixture to be safer to handle than just plain nitroglycerin.
        - Due to the controversies surrounding this new explosive, Nobel once considered calling the substance "Nobel's Safety Powder", but went with dynamite instead from the Greek word for power (dýnami̱ , δύναμη).
        - Nobel also created other explosives.

Facts About Dynamite:
- $10 for a single stick.
- High Government Control (It's an EXPLOSIVE)
- Didn't affect urban life as much as mining life. Populations from mining grew.
- Used by mining companies at first (for mining), later used by the military (for killing people).
- Doesn't affect living conditions especially (unless you're a target of a military explosive attack).
- Doesn't affect working conditions (unless you work in a nitroglycerin factory, but there's always danger there).
- More people are needed to make this, which is good for the economy. But, less people needed to destroy things!
- Dynamite didn't change much about the industrialization of countries. (did help for the countries that make it though)
- Dynamite has Influenced...
    - Dynamite was traded, so it did influence globalization.
    - Explosives, help blow up the environment.
    - Since dynamite is a regulated thing, it's not really part of pop culture other than the name dynamite and a few words that came from it.
    - No Influence on Religion
    - (pol sys) Only the threat of dynamite in war, but not really an affect on political systems.
    - (collaborate) Miners could get work done faster and collaborate.
    - (collective security) Worries of Bombs on citizens involving dynamite, etc. 

Evolution of Dynamite:
- v1: Dynamite (nitroglycerin and absorbent) Alfred Nobel
- v2: Ammonium "Extra" Dynamite (used ammonium nitrate instead of nitroglycerin) {Russell Penniman - Chemist}
- v3: There are explosives similar to dynamite, but are only similar in the fact that they use nitroglycerin, so they can't really be counted.

History of Invention:
- Alfred Nobel found that when when nitroglycerin was combined with an inert suppressant (and a blasting cap), it is:
    - A Higher Explosive
    - Safer to Handle
    - Easier to Transport
- He patented it on May 26, 1868.
    - US Patent 78317

# Quote!
"It is my express wish that in awarding the prizes no consideration be given to the nationality of the candidates, but that the most worthy shall receive the prize, whether he be Scandinavian or not." - Alfred Nobel
- He means that everyone worthy should be considered for the prize, no matter what race.

How it Works:
- Dynamite uses the explosive power of nitroglycerin combined with the suppressing force of an inert and porous substance to create a stronger and more stable explosive.
    - Use bottle reference.
        - When force is compressed, it is more explosive.

Explain 3D Model:
- 3 Sticks Bundled together with fuses to light at the some time.
- Nitroglycerin on the side!

Dynamite VS TNT:
- Both High Explosives
- Dynamite is a mixture of NG and a suppressant, not just an element.
- TNT is an actual chemical compound.
- Energy densities are different.

Conclusion:
- Dynamite is just... well, dynamite!
- It changed the mining industry, and military.
- It also inadvertently started the Nobel Peace Prize.
    - Tell that story if you wish.
- And now... a dynamite explosion!
    - Pull up video.
- Thanks for listening, and I hope you learned something about dynamite today!
