Abstract
Analyzing the oil-blast theory, data are presented to show effect of time and carbon on oil dielectric strength, correlation between voltage recovery rate and required oil velocity, lack of correlation between either current and voltage and necessary oil velocity, correlation between recovery rate and pressure in explosion chambers. Tests on various explosion chamber forms and photographs of the oil blast in action are presented.
