I gues that the most of you know about phenomenon called "atomized particel explosins" Where you atomize a flambel substance such as gasoline with a high explosive material and create a fuel explosion, But what I was wondering of was if Any of you had an idea to do this without an explosives.

You could do it with compressed air. That would be your next best bet. Explosives are far superior but compressed air will do a very nice job. |

Trying using pressurized propane through the liquid and out an atomizer tip (like a perfume bottle atomizer). The propane is superior to air because it is flammible as well. ------------------ |

I dont think propane would create the necessary high speed dispersion you would need to make a good explosion. True, if you did make the fuel go through an atomizer tip or something that would make a nice fuel air mixture but not large scale or rapid. Plus its cheaper to use compressed air assuming you have access to a compressor. Just hook a pneumatic cannon up to a reservoir of fuel so that when the cannon is discharged all the fuel will be fired into the atmosphere at a high speed upon which once it exited the barrel of the reservoir, it would disperse instantly into tiny droplets in a rather large cloud and then this could be ignited creating a beautiful fireball!

You are right, it would be quite slow. I was going to mention that but didn't. ------------------ |

As far as I heard this works with almost anything flammable. The most famous one is flour. When there is a certain amount of it in the air, a spark will ignite it, just like any flammable gas. This happened in a few mills, that is why this is such a famous example. |
