Talk:Thermobaric
Nope. This article is wrong. Thermobarics are not FAEs. There's a difference. Thermobarics are what they are due to the chemical composition of the explosive compound. FAEs are what they are due to the mechanical process of weapon. For thermobarics, think of a graph with time on the x-axis and overpressure on the y-axis. with a normal explosive compound such as TNT, C-4, RDX, ANFO, there is a very high spike in overpressure that very quickly drops. "thermobaric" weapons have a lower overpressure at the moment of detonation, but the level of overpressure decreases much more slowly than a traditional explosive compound. the shape of a thermobaric explosion on the graph would be a semi-circle rather than a spike. i'm no chemist or explosives expert, but the reason is that coupounds that create a thermobaric effect detonate much more slowly, but for a longer duration.
