What Did he Invent?
Alfred Nobel invented the dyanmite on 1866 when he was interested on experimenting with the newly developed substance called ‘nitroglycerine’. He added a type of earth called sillica to make the explosive safer to detonate. Thanks to his invention, people especially man could now do their work with fast and efficient explosives but at the same time, it killed thousands of people by accidental explosions such as Alfred’s brother, Emil and was also used in military and assasinations. Alfred Nobel realised it was used for killing people and before his death, he left his fortunes to create the Nobel Peace Prize to make amends for his satanic invention
Is it still in use today?
Today, it is rare to see dynamite in use because newer explosives and techniques have replaced dynamite in many uses. Mostly, it is now modified for explosive military weapons such as mortars, grenade and even the missiles. Modern explosives such as nitrate-fuel oil mixtures and ammonium nitrate-base water gels were developed and replaced from the dynamite.
