    Today i have heard about more rocket attacks from gaza on isreal. this will be easy to stop in the end, if i get the detector of gunpowder ready soon, yes? this could also find terrorists and stuff too.

    The gunpowder is made of refined copper. copper can be detected by electromagnetism, where the size of the metallic item is revealed, in this case gunpowder. it could be like a 'sonar' where there is a one point sending out 'waves,' and detecting where they get 'jammed,' yes? this will be where the wave meets resistance of copper or other volatile things.

    To do this quickly we could take a vector and project it forwards, maybe even projecting out something like quarks, yes? as soon as they stop moving, along the laser, they will quickly jam up the flow, and then we can detect where the munitions are.

    I don't know of any gunpowder made of refined copper. Traditional gun powder is made of sulfur, a potassium compound and charcoal. Smokeless gun powder is made up of nitrogen compounds, not copper compounds.

    You can find a lot of other useful stuff in copper mines.
