Hello,

Yes, fire spark is present it can be that the power charge does not have the same effect as under the atmosphere, but it shoots about the same. You wouldn’t hear anything through the vacuum (sound is not transmitted).

All good 🍀🍀🍀

Of course, because the explosion is air-independent.

Sure. Like any other gun. Including front loader.

Wouldn’t a chemistry study be more important? Because of the chemical reaction?

That’s enough to study physics. And chemists have no idea what a vacuum is, while we physicists know so much about the electron shell that we can explain oxidation and energy conversion 🙂 The concrete chemical reaction is not interesting, it works with all propellant charges of any composition.

I have to protest. In the organic internship we have always done vacuum in the flasks so that the stuff can be distilled off at a lower temperature. There are such pumps, which produce enough vacuum that an entire apparatus can be filled with it.

Then we have to settle in the shadow of 40 Kelvin… but still don’t know how fast the reaction takes place.

That would actually be a question for PM; there I have been 50 years of subscriber..

That’s right: In deep space, all bodies have at least the “temperature” of background radiation, i.e. almost 3 Kelvin. But it wasn’t talk of deep space. In the solar system I practically do not come under 40 Kelvin, but can also reach a few thousand Kelvin. In the absence of further requirements, I would start from an earth orbit or the moon. Keep a vacuum close.

Jaaaa…. so the Webb telescope needed so long until it was cooled/blasted.

But let’s go from the typical 3 Kelvin….and look at it from this perspective.

A vacuum has no temperature. But it’s right: At 3 Kelvin everything becomes very sluggish. Only a vacuum has no temperature 🙂

However, I am not sure if it runs at 3 Kelvin at the same speed or the ignition capsule reacts sensitively enough. The molecular movement is already much lower…….

…I think this is where explosive charges are cooled to reduce Brisanz….

The black powder in the cartridge should not burn.

In cartridges is black powder? Aha…

Some propellant charge. Hangs off the cartridge.

Sure. Black powder also works in a vacuum.

The propellant charge already contains all the reactants necessary for the explosion, air is not required.

Depends on the circumstances.

In the case of ignition:

Close to the absolute zero point, does not happen.

It can also be so hot that it ignites by itself.

Driving charge: the same as in the ignition cap.

Construction: Projectile or detonator. Driveload is distributed in space.

Correctly recognized. What does this have to do with my answer?

My doubts were not quite unjust. No matter what, I don’t have to dance it for better understanding.

Surely I understand. Even without children’s language.

🤦 ♂️ There are people here. If I didn’t see it myself, I wouldn’t believe it.

Temperatures and large temperature fluctuations are a big topic in space. Depending on whether or not one is irradiated by the sun, they can be quite significant. The best example is the moon, with the most varied temperatures from the bright and dark side.

You understand?

segler1968

You speak of temperatures. But they are not predetermined.

Ursusmaritimus

The vacuum does not disturb them, but the extremely low temperature could impair the ignition process/explosion process.

But there’s no oxygen.
I’m sorry I didn’t look like a movie on the moon shooting tontauben.

The oxygen or another reaction medium is present in the cartridge.

That’s why a cartridge burns under water….
