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.]
