Abstract
Steps of a process for visualization of a detonation wave involve examini measuring, and confirming a fuel-air explosion by using a ground-based fuel bottle oriented horizontally whereby the explosive dissemination creates a fuel-air cloud with its diameter in the vertical plane and a timed delay, proximate charge explodes within the created cloud. A ground-based high speed camera with a line-of-sight, end-on position with respect to the bottle, photographically records the existence of any occurring detonation wave.
