How Carbonite Has Many Uses

By Brian Griffin

Created during the early coal mining era. Invented by Bichel of Schmidt and Bichel, it showed that it had the potential to become one of the most influential and successful kind of explosive matter.

Carbonite is composed of several ingredients. Nitroglycerine, wood meal, nitrate, saltpeper, sulfur, diatomaceous earth and nitrobenzene are what are used in a carbonite mixture. This would be the main recipe the explosive which would later get several other kinds of sub dynamite categories after it.

It burns quite quickly and in its time was made into cubical cakes one and one half inches in diameter. Also, the cubical were very light, only weighing 65 grams each. The material was black, porous, and brittle. These carbonite cakes lasted a great while in intensity until they were completely burnt out.

Taking chemistry you will learn that Carbonite is a polyatomic ion. It has a chemical structure of Co2. The compound carbon monoxide is poisonous and carbonite gases give off no distinct dangerous vapor.

The word carbonite can have three different definitions to it. It us less frequent use as the to certain fused compounds of the mixture, the original explosive recipe created by Bichel, and it can also define secondary kinds of explosives.

The sub categories of carbonite were very high in intensity holding carbon. The burning of the compound in some carbonite categories fused into carbon monoxide. Many forms of safety dynamite are known as carbonite.

Star Wars, a long running sci-fi series that takes use of a fictional form of carbonite which cause temporary blindness after it is was used on a person or criminal. It had stop motion properties instead of its general use. It was also featurd in another media outlet, a video game titled "EverQuest II". In the game it was a metallic armor used for leveled up characters
