Here are some explosion photos i have taken with my camera. They are both chemical and electrical types. I will not disclose the type of the explosive, so don't ask.

Hope you enjoy


The first two are underground explosions triggered by an alluminium strip exploded by 300v 200uF caps.

The last is the detonator itself exploding an alluminium strip and copper wires.

Sodium would just give yellow streaks instead of white or green.

Depends on what the wire is made of - steel is particularly good as it burns, forming a big shower of sparks.
