Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the mystery behind one of the largest Colliery explosions to have occurred in a non-gaseous mine. The author reveals the evidence of an explosive force beyond fire-damp, using the large body of evidence gathered from the explosion at the Timsbury Colliery in 1895 as the central case study. This book presents a compelling case that the gases which caused this explosion, and that have been also identified in many other mine explosions, in fact came from coal-dust. In concluding this, the author argues that an understanding of the role that coal-dust plays in mine explosions is of the utmost importance and presents strong evidence that this is the primary agent in such events.
