= Implosion (mechanical process)
{wiki=Implosion_(mechanical_process)}
Implosion is a mechanical process in which an object collapses inward due to the effects of external pressure exceeding internal pressure. This phenomenon can occur in various contexts, such as in structures, containers, or various mechanical systems. Key characteristics of implosion include: 1. **Pressure Differential**: Implosion typically involves a significant difference in pressure between the inside of a structure or container and the outside environment. If the internal pressure is lower than the external pressure, the structure can fail by collapsing inwards.
