/diːtəˈneɪʃən/

Etymology: < French détonation, noise of explosion, noun of action fromdétoner to detonate v.

The action of detonating.

a. Chemistry. ‘The noise accompanying the sudden decomposition or combination of substances, and due to the concussion of the air resulting from the sudden production of a large quantity of gas’ (Watts Dict. Chem.); hence, explosion accompanied with a sudden loud report.

1677 W. Harris tr. N. Lémery Course Chym. 17 Detonation is a noise that is made when the volatile parts of any mixture do rush forth with impetuosity: it is also called Fulmination.

1686 R. Plot Nat. Hist. Staffs. ii. 55 Common Niter in its detonation or alcalisation with coales, acquires a green colour.

1704 J. Harris Lexicon Technicum I Detonation is a Chymical word expressing the Thundring Noise that is often made by a mixture being enkindled in the containing Vessel.

1800 tr. E. J. B. Bouillon-Lagrange Man. Course Chem. I. 107 This experiment is dangerous, as it is often accompanied with violent detonations.

1864 H. Spencer Princ. Biol. I. 8 Percussion produces detonation in sulphide of nitrogen.

b. In an internal combustion engine, the rapid and premature combustion of the mixture in the cylinder before it is ignited by the spark or the flame from the spark, producing a rattling or thumping noise (cf. knock n.¹).

ΚΠ

1912 Motor Man. (ed. 14) vi. 201 With super-compression of the charge instead of a gradual expansion of the ignited gases a ‘detonation’ occurs.

1937 Autocar Handbk. (ed. 13) v. 91 Should the charge be fired off too early, detonation, or, as it is more popularly known, ‘pinking’, will result.

1968 Practical Motorist Oct. 205 The detonation causes a distinctive knock (‘pinking’) when the engine is under load.

2. gen.

a. A loud noise as of thunder; a violent explosive report, e.g. in a volcanic eruption.
