117<p>To people who are close to a blast incident, such as bomb disposal technicians, soldiers wearing body armor, deminers, or individuals wearing little to no protection, there are four types of blast effects on the human body: <a href="/wiki/Overpressure" title="Overpressure">overpressure</a> (shock), <a href="/wiki/Fragmentation_(weaponry)" title="Fragmentation (weaponry)">fragmentation</a>, <a href="/wiki/Impact_(mechanics)" title="Impact (mechanics)">impact</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Heat" title="Heat">heat</a>. Overpressure refers to the sudden and drastic rise in ambient pressure that can damage the internal organs, possibly leading to permanent damage or death. Fragmentation can also include sand, debris and vegetation from the area surrounding the blast source. This is very common in anti-personnel mine blasts.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a></sup> The projection of materials poses a potentially lethal threat caused by cuts in soft tissues, as well as infections, and injuries to the internal organs. When the overpressure wave impacts the body it can induce violent levels of blast-induced acceleration. Resulting injuries may range from minor to unsurvivable. Immediately following this initial acceleration, deceleration injuries can occur when a person impacts directly against a rigid surface or obstacle after being set in motion by the force of the blast. Finally, injury and fatality can result from the explosive fireball as well as incendiary agents projected onto the body. Personal protective equipment, such as a <a href="/wiki/Bombsuit" class="mw-redirect" title="Bombsuit">bomb suit</a> or demining ensemble, as well as helmets, visors and foot protection, can dramatically reduce the four effects, depending upon the charge, proximity and other variables.

Type 76, IEDs are hand-carried parcel or suitcase bombs, type 80, are "suicide vests" worn by a bomber, and type 3 devices are vehicles laden with explosives to act as large-scale stationary or self-propelled bombs, also known as <a href="/wiki/VBIED" class="mw-redirect" title="VBIED">VBIED</a> (vehicle-borne IEDs).<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

Any interaction with explosive materials or devices by unqualified personnel should be considered a grave and immediate risk of death or dire injury. The safest response to finding an object believed to be an explosive device is to get as far away from it as possible.
127</p><p>Atomic bombs are based on the theory of <a href="/wiki/Nuclear_fission" title="Nuclear fission">nuclear fission</a>, that when a large atom splits, it releases a massive amount of energy. <a href="/wiki/Thermonuclear_weapons" class="mw-redirect" title="Thermonuclear weapons">Thermonuclear weapons</a>, (colloquially known as "hydrogen bombs") use the energy from an initial <a href="/wiki/Teller-Ulam_design#Basic_principle" class="mw-redirect" title="Teller-Ulam design">fission</a> explosion to create an even more powerful <a href="/wiki/Nuclear_fusion" title="Nuclear fusion">fusion</a> explosion.
128</p><p>The term <b><a href="/wiki/Dirty_bomb" title="Dirty bomb">dirty bomb</a></b> refers to a specialized device that relies on a comparatively low explosive yield to scatter harmful material over a wide area. Most commonly associated with <a href="/wiki/Radiological" class="mw-redirect" title="Radiological">radiological</a> or chemical materials, dirty bombs seek to kill or injure and then to deny access to a contaminated area until a thorough clean-up can be accomplished. In the case of urban settings, this clean-up may take extensive time, rendering the contaminated zone virtually uninhabitable in the interim.
129</p><p>The power of large bombs is typically measured in <a href="/wiki/TNT_equivalent" title="TNT equivalent">kilotons (kt) or megatons of TNT (Mt)</a>.

130</p><p>Below is a list of five different types of bombs based on the fundamental explosive mechanism they employ.
131</p>
132<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Compressed_gas">Compressed gas</span></h3>
133<p>Relatively small explosions can be produced by pressurizing a container until catastrophic failure such as with a <a href="/wiki/Dry_ice_bomb" title="Dry ice bomb">dry ice bomb</a>. Technically, devices that create explosions of this type can not be classified as "bombs" by the definition presented at the top of this article. However, the explosions created by these devices can cause property damage, injury, or death. Flammable liquids, gasses and gas mixtures dispersed in these explosions may also ignite if exposed to a spark or flame.
134</p>
135<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Low_explosive">Low explosive</span></h3>
136<p>The simplest and oldest bombs store energy in the form of a <a href="/wiki/Low_explosive" class="mw-redirect" title="Low explosive">low explosive</a>. <a href="/wiki/Black_powder" class="mw-redirect" title="Black powder">Black powder</a> is an example of a low explosive. Low explosives typically consist of a mixture of an oxidizing salt, such as <a href="/wiki/Potassium_nitrate" title="Potassium nitrate">potassium nitrate</a> (saltpeter), with solid fuel, such as charcoal or aluminium powder. These compositions deflagrate upon ignition, producing hot gas. Under normal circumstances, this <a href="/wiki/Deflagration" title="Deflagration">deflagration</a> occurs too slowly to produce a significant pressure wave; low explosives, therefore, must generally be used in large quantities or confined in a container with a high burst pressure to be useful as a bomb.
137</p>
138<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="High_explosive">High explosive</span></h3>
139<p>A high explosive bomb is one that employs a process called "<a href="/wiki/Detonation" title="Detonation">detonation</a>" to rapidly go from an initially high energy molecule to a very low energy molecule.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a></sup> Detonation is distinct from deflagration in that the chemical reaction propagates faster than the speed of sound (often many times faster) in an intense shock wave. Therefore, the pressure wave produced by a high explosive is not significantly increased by confinement as detonation occurs so quickly that the resulting plasma does not expand much before all the explosive material has reacted. This has led to the development of <a href="/wiki/Plastic_explosive" title="Plastic explosive">plastic explosive</a>. A casing is still employed in some high explosive bombs, but with the purpose of <a href="/wiki/Fragmentation_(weaponry)" title="Fragmentation (weaponry)">fragmentation</a>. Most high explosive bombs consist of an insensitive <a href="/wiki/Secondary_explosive" class="mw-redirect" title="Secondary explosive">secondary explosive</a> that must be detonated with a <a href="/wiki/Blasting_cap" class="mw-redirect" title="Blasting cap">blasting cap</a> containing a more sensitive <a href="/wiki/Primary_explosive" class="mw-redirect" title="Primary explosive">primary explosive</a>.
140</p>
141<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Thermobaric">Thermobaric</span></h3>
142<p>A <a href="/wiki/Thermobaric_bomb" class="mw-redirect" title="Thermobaric bomb">thermobaric bomb</a> is a type of <a href="/wiki/Explosive_weapon" title="Explosive weapon">explosive</a> that utilizes oxygen from the surrounding air to generate an intense, high-temperature explosion, and in practice the <a href="/wiki/Blast_wave" title="Blast wave">blast wave</a> typically produced by such a weapon is of a significantly longer duration than that produced by a conventional condensed explosive. The <b>fuel-air bomb</b> is one of the best-known types of thermobaric weapons.
143</p>
144<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Nuclear_fission">Nuclear fission</span></h3>
145<p><a href="/wiki/Nuclear_fission" title="Nuclear fission">Nuclear fission</a> type atomic bombs utilize the energy present in very heavy atomic nuclei, such as U-235 or Pu-239. In order to release this energy rapidly, a certain amount of the fissile material must be very rapidly consolidated while being exposed to a neutron source. If consolidation occurs slowly, repulsive forces drive the material apart before a significant explosion can occur. Under the right circumstances, rapid consolidation can provoke a chain reaction that can proliferate and intensify by many orders of magnitude within microseconds. The energy released by a nuclear fission bomb may be tens of thousands of times greater than a chemical bomb of the same mass.
146</p>
147<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Nuclear_fusion">Nuclear fusion</span></h3>
148<p>A <a href="/wiki/Thermonuclear_weapon" title="Thermonuclear weapon">thermonuclear weapon</a> is a type of nuclear bomb that releases energy through the combination of fission and <a href="/wiki/Nuclear_fusion" title="Nuclear fusion">fusion</a> of the light atomic nuclei of deuterium and tritium. With this type of bomb, a thermonuclear detonation is triggered by the detonation of a fission type nuclear bomb contained within a material containing high concentrations of deuterium and tritium. Weapon yield is typically increased with a tamper that increases the duration and intensity of the reaction through inertial confinement and neutron reflection. Nuclear fusion bombs can have arbitrarily high yields making them hundreds or thousands of times more powerful than nuclear fission.
149</p><p>A <a href="/wiki/Pure_fusion_weapon" title="Pure fusion weapon">pure fusion weapon</a> is a nuclear weapon that doesn't require a primary fission stage to start a fusion reaction.

173<p>The <a href="/wiki/First_air-dropped_bomb" class="mw-redirect" title="First air-dropped bomb">first air-dropped bombs</a> were used by the Austrians in the 1849 <a href="/wiki/Republic_of_San_Marco" title="Republic of San Marco">siege of Venice</a>. Two hundred unmanned balloons carried small bombs, although few bombs actually hit the city.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a></sup>
174</p><p>The first bombing from a fixed-wing aircraft took place in 1911 when the Italians dropped bombs by hand on the Turkish lines in what is now <a href="/wiki/Libya" title="Libya">Libya</a>, during the <a href="/wiki/Italo-Turkish_War" title="Italo-Turkish War">Italo-Turkish War</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a></sup> The first large scale dropping of bombs took place during <a href="/wiki/World_War_I" title="World War I">World War I</a> starting in 1915 with the German <a href="/wiki/Zeppelin" title="Zeppelin">Zeppelin</a> airship raids on <a href="/wiki/London" title="London">London</a>, England, and the same war saw the invention of the first <a href="/wiki/Heavy_bomber" title="Heavy bomber">heavy bombers</a>. One Zeppelin raid on 8 September 1915 dropped 4,000 lb (1,800 kg) of high explosives and incendiary bombs, including one bomb that weighed 600 lb (270 kg).<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a></sup>
175</p><p>During <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a> bombing became a major military feature, and a number of novel delivery methods were introduced. These included <a href="/wiki/Barnes_Wallis" title="Barnes Wallis">Barnes Wallis</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Bouncing_bomb" title="Bouncing bomb">bouncing bomb</a>, designed to bounce across water, avoiding <a href="/wiki/Torpedo_net" title="Torpedo net">torpedo nets</a> and other underwater defenses, until it reached a <a href="/wiki/Dam" title="Dam">dam</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ship" title="Ship">ship</a>, or other destination, where it would sink and explode. By the end of the war, planes such as the allied forces' <a href="/wiki/Avro_Lancaster" title="Avro Lancaster">Avro Lancaster</a> were delivering with 50 yd (46 m) accuracy from 20,000 ft (6,100 m), ten ton <a href="/wiki/Earthquake_bomb" title="Earthquake bomb">earthquake bombs</a> (also invented by Barnes Wallis) named "<a href="/wiki/Grand_Slam_(bomb)" title="Grand Slam (bomb)">Grand Slam</a>", which, unusually for the time, were delivered from high altitude in order to gain high speed, and would, upon impact, penetrate and explode deep underground ("<a href="/wiki/Camouflet" title="Camouflet">camouflet</a>"), causing massive caverns or craters, and affecting targets too large or difficult to be affected by other types of bomb.
176</p><p>Modern military <a href="/wiki/Bomber" title="Bomber">bomber</a> aircraft are designed around a large-capacity internal <a href="/wiki/Bomb_bay" title="Bomb bay">bomb bay</a>, while <a href="/wiki/Fighter-bomber" title="Fighter-bomber">fighter-bombers</a> usually carry bombs externally on pylons or bomb racks or on multiple ejection racks which enable mounting several bombs on a single pylon. Some bombs are equipped with a <a href="/wiki/Parachute" title="Parachute">parachute</a>, such as the World War II "parafrag" (an 11 kg (24 lb) fragmentation bomb), the <a href="/wiki/Vietnam_war" class="mw-redirect" title="Vietnam war">Vietnam war</a>-era <a href="/wiki/BLU-82" title="BLU-82">daisy cutters</a>, and the bomblets of some modern <a href="/wiki/Cluster_bomb" class="mw-redirect" title="Cluster bomb">cluster bombs</a>. Parachutes slow the bomb's descent, giving the dropping aircraft time to get to a safe distance from the explosion. This is especially important with airburst <a href="/wiki/Nuclear_weapons" class="mw-redirect" title="Nuclear weapons">nuclear weapons</a> (especially those dropped from slower aircraft or with very high yields), and in situations where the aircraft releases a bomb at low altitude.<sup id="cite_ref-Proceedings_18-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Proceedings-18">[18]</a></sup> A number of modern bombs are also <a href="/wiki/Precision-guided_munition" title="Precision-guided munition">precision-guided munitions</a>, and may be guided after they leave an aircraft by remote control, or by autonomous guidance.
177</p><p>Aircraft may also deliver bombs in the form of <a href="/wiki/Warhead" title="Warhead">warheads</a> on guided <a href="/wiki/Missile" title="Missile">missiles</a>, such as long-range <a href="/wiki/Cruise_missile" title="Cruise missile">cruise missiles</a>, which can also be launched from <a href="/wiki/Warship" title="Warship">warships</a>.
178</p><p>A <a href="/wiki/Hand_grenade" class="mw-redirect" title="Hand grenade">hand grenade</a> is delivered by being thrown. Grenades can also be projected by other means, such as being launched from the muzzle of a <a href="/wiki/Rifle" title="Rifle">rifle</a> (as in the <a href="/wiki/Rifle_grenade" title="Rifle grenade">rifle grenade</a>), using a grenade launcher (such as the <a href="/wiki/M203_grenade_launcher" title="M203 grenade launcher">M203</a>), or by attaching a <a href="/wiki/Rocket" title="Rocket">rocket</a> to the explosive grenade (as in a <a href="/wiki/Rocket-propelled_grenade" title="Rocket-propelled grenade">rocket-propelled grenade</a> (RPG)).
179</p><p>A bomb may also be positioned in advance and concealed.
180</p><p>A bomb destroying a <a href="/wiki/Rail_track" class="mw-redirect" title="Rail track">rail track</a> just before a <a href="/wiki/Train" title="Train">train</a> arrives will usually cause the train to <a href="/wiki/Derailment" title="Derailment">derail</a>. In addition to the damage to vehicles and people, a bomb exploding in a <a href="/wiki/Transport" title="Transport">transport</a> network often damages, and is sometimes mainly intended to damage, the network itself. This applies for <a href="/wiki/Railway" class="mw-redirect" title="Railway">railways</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bridge" title="Bridge">bridges</a>, <a href="/wiki/Runway" title="Runway">runways</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Port" title="Port">ports</a>, and, to a lesser extent (depending on circumstances), to roads.
181</p><p>In the case of <a href="/wiki/Suicide_bombing" class="mw-redirect" title="Suicide bombing">suicide bombing</a>, the bomb is often carried by the attacker on his or her body, or in a vehicle driven to the target.
182</p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Blue_Peacock" title="Blue Peacock">Blue Peacock</a> nuclear mines, which were also termed "bombs", were planned to be positioned during wartime and be constructed such that, if disturbed, they would explode within ten seconds.
183</p><p>The explosion of a bomb may be triggered by a <a href="/wiki/Detonator" title="Detonator">detonator</a> or a <a href="/wiki/Fuse_(explosives)" title="Fuse (explosives)">fuse</a>. Detonators are triggered by <a href="/wiki/Clock" title="Clock">clocks</a>, <a href="/wiki/Remote_control" title="Remote control">remote controls</a> like <a href="/wiki/Cell_phone" class="mw-redirect" title="Cell phone">cell phones</a> or some kind of sensor, such as pressure (altitude), <a href="/wiki/Radar" title="Radar">radar</a>, vibration or contact. Detonators vary in ways they work, they can be electrical, fire <a href="/wiki/Fuze" title="Fuze">fuze</a> or blast initiated detonators and others,

185<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Blast_seat">Blast seat</span></h2>
186<p>In <a href="/wiki/Forensic_science" title="Forensic science">forensic science</a>, the point of detonation of a bomb is referred to as its blast seat, seat of explosion, blast hole or <a href="/wiki/Epicenter" title="Epicenter">epicenter</a>. Depending on the type, quantity and placement of explosives, the blast seat may be either spread out or concentrated (i.e., an <a href="/wiki/Explosion_crater" title="Explosion crater">explosion crater</a>).<sup id="cite_ref-Walsh_2008_19-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Walsh_2008-19">[19]</a></sup>
