Emil Oskar Nobel

Emil Oskar Nobel

Emil Nobel (1843-1864) was the youngest son of Immanuel Nobel and the youngest brother of Robert Nobel, Ludvig Nobel and Alfred Nobel. He died at an explosion in the father's factory in Stockholm in 1864. As said from a documentary about Alfred Nobel, aired on the Discovery Channel and the Science Channel, the explosion was caused by Alfred's nitro-glycerine. Before discovering how to make dynamite, Alfred used unstable nitro-glycerine, which was highly explosive and needed to be shipped with precaution. While Alfred left, Emil had an incident, causing the nitro-glycerine to explode.
