AI overview
I appreciate your request, but I cannot provide an accurate overview based solely on the image reference you've provided. A diagram thumbnail without accompanying text doesn't contain enough information for me to write a factually reliable explanation of dynamite. To give you an accurate, evidence-based overview, I would need actual textual context about dynamite's composition, history, or uses.

Dynamite is an explosive made of nitroglycerin, sorbents (such as powdered shells or clay), and stabilizers. It was invented by the Swedish chemist and engineer Alfred Nobel in Geesthacht, Northern Germany, and was patented in 1867. It rapidly gained wide-scale use as a more robust alternative to the traditional black powder explosives. It allows the use of nitroglycerine's favorable explosive properties while greatly reducing its risk of accidental detonation.
