AB - Coal dust explosion is of great importance for both theoretical analysis and  practical applications. However, there is not a complete theory to reveal  its mechanism. Here we show that the ignition energy plays an important  role. An experiment is designed using different volatile coal dusts under  different ignition energies, and the results are extremely helpful for  avoiding coal dust explosion and can be also used for verification of a new  theory.
