Description Here is an explosion tutorial as Leth requested, although I don't think I'm so good at explosions that I can teach how to draw them... But I can teach some of the principles behind them!

But the best thing to do is really to watch video of explosions. (Some links are supplied in the Flash)

Edit: I just learned that "flame" explosions are officially called BLEVEs (pronounced "blev-ee"), or Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosions. You can look up this term on youtube to see a bunch of them!

Additionally, a deviant named ~ProfessorDoom has commented about the collapsing of the mystery of gamma ray bursters (pun intended):
"The core of the hypernova collapses directly into a black hole and two extremely energetic jets of plasma are emitted from its rotational poles at nearly the speed of light. These jets emit intense gamma rays, and are a candidate explanation for gamma ray bursts. In recent years a great deal of observational data on gamma ray bursts significantly increased our understanding of these events, and made clear that the collapse model produces explosions that differ only in detail from more or less ordinary supernovae. Nevertheless, they continue to sometimes be referred to in the literature as hypernovae. The word hypernova itself was coined by S.E. Woosley. [link] " Check the link for more information!

Of course it'll help! ^^ I learned a lot of stuff... like with the debris. I've never even thought of the debris!

you made it realy wonderful zack. realy wonderfull. i will devenatly give it a try with this information and drawings.
i havnt watched the movies yet but they will come.

but my main problem: how will i know the path the explotion will go? i know the begining but how will it end?

zack-sr In reply to zentju [2008-03-11 17:45:31 +0000 UTC]

Thanks very much!

The explosion will go in the path of least resistance, like electricity. The shape of the explosion depends on what kind it is, what the atmosphere is, and what is exploding. That's all I can offer; for more, I need some details!
