In their workshop they had several explosions one in 1864 killed his brother Emil and several other workers. Alfred Nobel was very interested in nitroglycerin and spent a lot of time trying figuring out a practical use in construction. Finally in 1867 Alfred figured out the perfect mixture. Out of all of his studies Alfred most enjoyed poetry, which did not thrill his father. The mixture caused the nitroglycerin to turn into a paste like substance. Alfred called his invention Dynamite. At around the same time Alfred also figured out a good way to light off the dynamite by using blasting caps. Alfred had a total of 355 patents by the time of his death on December 10, 1896. The problem was that Nitroglycerin was highly unpredictable and extremely reactive. After his father went bankrupt him and his brother Emil moved to Sweden and worked together improving the explosive. He also had to design a safer way to detonate the nitroglycerin. For two years Alfred visited many countries including Sweden, Germany, France and the United States.
