Primes¶
- Concentration
- In physics and engineering, concentration is the focusing of energy: a lens concentrates diffuse light to a focal point intense enough to burn, an antenna concentrates radiated power into a narrow beam, a shaped charge concentrates explosive energy onto a small area to penetrate armor
This sourceA shaped charge concentrates explosive energy via a lined conical cavity into a high-velocity jet, penetrating armor to many charge-diameters — the non-linearity by which concentrated energy density does what the same energy spread cannot. [unverified-054: no single peer-reviewed source captured the lens/antenna/shaped-charge energy-focusing claims jointly; the shaped-charge/Munroe-effect physics is well established but a textbook citation should replace this placeholder.]
Supported in partVerified against the work's full text
The page supports only the shaped-charge example: explosive energy is focused by a cavity to penetrate armor; it says nothing about lenses or antennas.
“shaping the explosive will concentrate the explosive energy in the void”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
