truck go boom

cement truck+a few hundred pounds of dynamite and c4= greatest episode of mythbusters ever. so lets start off with the basics first. the massive potential energy is set off by the added energy of the detonator which is basically just two metal poles stuck into the c4. a charge is run through the poles and travels through the c4 because the c4 acts as a bit of a resistor. sparks fly and just like the pickle in class the c4 ignites and sets off a chemical reaction that produces a lot of heat, light, and sound energy. the truck then tries to hold itself together but the force of the explosion is too much for it to handle and the truck just starts to move with the explosion. all the pieces of debris are thrown in to the air and act like projectiles landing far from the point of origin because of the massive Force(X) and Force(Y) vectors caused by the explosion.
