Detonation methods refer to the techniques used to initiate an explosive reaction in materials like dynamite or TNT. Common methods include electrical detonation, where an electric current ignites a detonator, and non-electrical methods, such as shock tube systems that use a small shock wave to trigger the explosion. These methods are crucial in various fields, including construction, mining, and military applications. Safety is a primary concern, so proper training and equipment are essential to prevent accidental detonations and ensure controlled explosions for desired outcomes.
