Blast-powder interaction forms an aerosol, which could ignite, affecting production and distribution of fallout products. Full-scale experiments are challenging. Electrostatic discharges (ESD) above powders placed in a cavity serve to generate lab-scale shocks and plasma. Spherical and irregular particles of Ti–B nanocomposites were lifted by ESD. More particles are lifted and ignited by ESD with a higher voltage and when electrodes were located closer to the cavity. Spherical powders were lifted more efficiently than irregular powders. Ignited spherical particles were brighter than irregular powders. Particles lifted nearly instantly traveled at ∼100 m/s. Particles lifted later moved at lower velocities.

爆炸粉末相互作用形成气溶胶，可能引燃，影响沉降物的生产和分配。全面的实验具有挑战性。放置在空腔中的粉末上方的静电放电 (ESD) 用于产生实验室规模的冲击和等离子体。Ti-B 纳米复合材料的球形和不规则颗粒被 ESD 提升。当电极靠近空腔时，更高电压的 ESD 会提升和点燃更多颗粒。球形粉末比不规则粉末更有效地提升。点燃的球形颗粒比不规则粉末更亮。升起的粒子几乎立即以~100 m/s 的速度行进。后来被提升的粒子以较低的速度移动。
