In episode "The Mechanical Man", near the end, Crane managed to shrug off his paralysis, got something out of his pocket, then threw it across the room. A flash ensued which knocked over the android. Does anybody have an idea of what he threw to cause the explosion? A side question might be, "Why did that relatively small explosion not seem to bother the two humans but knocked down the rather indestructible android?"
