This is one channel that I can actually trust to be legit with facts rather then click bait. Thank you.
They do clickbait though as well. Which I don't have a problem with. The algorithm demands clickbaity titles and thumbnails. Any channel which doesn't follow clickbait is only harming itself for really no gain.
Substance backed clickbait ;)
@Ben Ng Always pure science done in a fun way to educate. To view any video from this channel is to understand the method of teaching.
I missed taking physics in high school due to too few signing up to make a class, now we have great UA-cam teachers, but shame there is no hands on to bring it home.
@@JamesThompson-xl4yu this is deep chemistry more than Physics.. but physics is at the lowest level of everything we see, touch and experience for sure.
If you try to get "hands on" with any if this stuff.. you will have no hands, eyes or body soon enough!
I know of many chemists interested in this sort of subject who have lost fingers eyes and even lives. Mixing these sorts of chemicals can have VERY unpredictable results! If you are lucky you get to say "well that was not expected" after.. but few do.
The words of caution are not nannying at all!
Possibly the most educational and entertaining channel on UA-cam
Definitely among the best of the science/engineering channels I subscribe to.
That's saying a lot, too. The UA-cam science community is absolutely outstanding.
Definitely
I am always impressed on how well he verbally conveys the information he wants to highlight. In every 30 minute video, not one stutter, stammer or "um".
"Applied science" and "the thought emporium" are just as entertaining to watch. Those two are also very detailed.
One channel show how to change someone's DNA, the other channel shows how to poison Litvinеnko, and then this channel shows how to blow up your school. Meanwhile they all made holographic chocolate.

"They use ANFO for target practice"
Well, that's the most American thing i've heard this week: "Let's just shoot half a kilo of high explosive with rifles, that way we don't have to walk to check if we hit the target"
I've done it, it's fun. Kind of expensive just for messing around but still worth it every once in a while.
There are some practical applications but they're very niche not to mention the space to safely and permits detonate it. Demolition for example although professionals have access to higher grade materials anyways.
one guy stuffed his old lawn mower with Tannerite, shot it, the explosion propelled the cutting blade which hit him, severed an artery and the guy died.

The Tesla Catamaran - What happened to the hydrofoil? How did it handle in the water? We need a follow-up video.
...and the drone,
and the jet powered bicycle,
and the plan to take over the moon and turn into an orbital weapons platform...
I can answer that for you. It basically didn't work very well if at all. The propeller they picked was designed for air, and I'm sure didn't really work at all in the water. Additionally, they didn't do any flow calculations or fluid mechanical design on their boat, so getting a hydrofoil to work was basically a total guess. And unfortunately, that's not easy to do. This means they need more iterations of trial and error to get something working before they can make a video about it.
@@gizmoguyar he sounded like he had already tested the rc prop in water and determined it to work. there's also no hydrofoil on it, it's a catamaran.
I was also waiting on the follow up to the magnetohydrodinamic video
Me too waiting
YOU ARE Special. Back in the day, as a firefighter paramedic, I would have KILLED to be in your hazmat classes....
After watching your hydrogen video where you were talking about shaped charges I wanted to try it for mysel. I tried some of the exploding targets, but their detonation velocity is too slow. Well wouldnt you know I ended up with a gallon of the same nitromethane. I tried using the fiberglass hardener and an exploding wire to test small 1ml amounts but never got it to work.
Sure. You need a pretty high velocity explosive. I'm not sure even our 4km/sec compressed oxygen/hydrogen will be successful.
How much energy did you apply to the wire?
When we film the large detonations, I'll spend a fair amount of the video going through the exploding wire set up, it's kinda demanding electronically because it has to be VERY fast.
Oh, and thanks for watching. We should get together at some point and do something, it'd be a blast!
@@TechIngredients a colab seem good
You should read-up on the "Monroe-Effect", if you want to learn about shaped charges. I have Blast-Formed metals using that technique (and the RPG's of today use the same principle!).
@@TechIngredients
"... it'd be a blast!"
And, this is why you get the BIG bucks!
(And, my subscription.)

Be careful, shaped charges are considered NFA items.
Hahaha, this Is delightful. Yesterday, the guy from Explosions&Fire made a post about (I think)hosting some professional explosives chemists on his channel. I made a comical comment casting doubt on the "experts" by proxy of the fact that they probably rarely hit small bits of explosives wrapped in aluminliliunm foil with a hammer, and even if they did they would probably "forget" to bring their hammers.
And then, hahaha, there's your thumbnail!
You sir, never fail to exceed stringent expectations.
Totally need to get Explosions&Fire on the case!
I'm on it! And I gotta say, you'd be amazed how much a hammer is a standard tool in energetic labs. You'd think they'd have some other fancier way of initially testing things but no, they genuinely hit things with hammers as a first initial pass. ...at least in the professional energetic labs I've been in (The Germans probably have some decide from the future to do it)
@@ExplosionsAndFire Nothing wrong with a little qualitative percussion analysis. Though, being of the mechanical sort, I'd have some misgivings about testing with a hard-faced hammer like that framing model. Very brittle surface that tends to fire off razor-sharp shards sideways if it does break... and that's not even explosives, that's just using one to hit another piece of hardened steel. Easy fix, just find a hammer specifically made to hit chisels and other hardened struck tooling. Probably easier to hit with as well.
I am new to this channel and I LOVE it! The depth of your knowledge on so many subjects is astounding, and your ability to put these concepts into words so eloquently and understandably is amazing. Definitely subscribed!

The easter eggs in this episode are amazing.
Aluminum. That reminded me of an article I read years or decades ago about the British War Council (or whatever its name was) meeting, where the members heard an evaluation report about the bombing effects. Somehow there came up a discrepancy why the German bombs of same size were more powerful than the British counterparts. The scientist knew the reason -- the German bombs included aluminum (or aluminium in UK English). If I recall, it was Churchill who then asked "Why don't our bombs?" OK, in short order aluminum was added to the British bombs as well.

The Chemistry Class no one wanted us to have but that we very much appreciate. Thanks for the info and demonstrations!
This guy really knows his stuff and the theory as well. Those of us that are involved in research know this. Safety is very important however something that needs to be considered at all levels and mostly gained by experience. Most accidents are caused by a lack of knowledge and experience, poor preparation, taking short cuts and just poor judgment. People with experience understand the chemistry, they have spent hundreds of hours cross referencing videos with published material and other sources. This this one of the best videos that has been on UA-cam for some time. The rest in the main are kids trying to show off, trying to make compositions that the experts all agree are unsafe. People trying to be too clever for their own good and these are usually the ones that get into trouble and give the rest of us a bad name and are somewhat responsible for never ending licensing requirements. Thumbs up for this guy and an extremely well prepared video with excellent theory and sensible demonstrations.
While i can't see any day to day applications for this information in my immediate surroundings (sighs of relief all round!), i enjoy the opportunity to learn about it!

@@jasonrubik *In Krieg Voice* THANK YOU
Excellent video. I have to note, that blasting caps don't just contain PETN but utilize an explosive train: pyrothechnic ignition mix -> primary explosive -> secondary explosive (PETN). PETN by itself is not sensitive enough.
Thanks.
That's correct.
I doubt u will see this but this vid got me thinking. 1, if the heat is basically what causes the stuff to detonate, then maybe try to set some off using thermite?
Also, I remember a while ago you said you were going to try to make a shape charge. This liquid explosive would be perfect for it. I could even 3D print you some things that would hold a metallic cone, or something more like a linear shape charge if you want. This would also let u have a variety of sizes. I think it would be super cool to have a mini shape charge that could have its own built in standoff. It would also be a good way to have a standard. And maybe in the future you could try using different kinds of metals other than copper. (I think lead would be super easy to shape into what you want, and I bet that would work just fine)

What type/brand of double based smokeless powder were you using for the function test? Btw this is a fantastic demonstration of energetic materials. I wish you made more videos like this. Its an absolute hidden gem on your channel.

I don't know what exactly it would be about, but a collaboration between you and someone like Essential craftsmen would be interesting.

I have no idea what your background is but I got to love the things you show. I guess we have all gone the route of (trying to) explode stuff. Making hydrogen gas, checking out the fertilizer isle at the local store for the one with the highest amonium nitrate content and being kicked out of the local chemist's store for trying to buy all three ingredients to make gunpowder at the same time.
This channel has a lot of nice DIY projects with a proper mix of things like this which you should not even think of trying at home.
In. 1992 through 1995 I was removing loblolly pine stumps with Dupont's Tovex Mine-rite which was a high explosive based on aluminum. Explosive velocity was about 14,000 feet per second with plenty of gas production which gave it wonderful "heave" which lifted the stumps right out of the ground!. I was living on a 26 ac rectangle shaped property that was 80-85% pine and 10% large oak trees and 5-10% brush and small mixed hard woods, To keep an Ag tax exemption the property needs to be logged every 7 years. We cleared off about 6 ac. for 3 mobile home sites for my family, my dad and my wife's mom and dad. Trees on the 26 ac had been cut regularly and of course as close to the ground as possible. Diameter size was 14-16" all the way yp to a few that were 36" or so. Only pines were cut except when a hardwood was damaged when a pine neighbor damaged the hardwood when it came down. These trees have a straight tap root with a few modest side lateral roots. It was hard even for a D-6 bulldozer to get them out unless the driver spent 20-30 minuets working with them and a backhoe would take 45 to 90 minutes to dig them out. In 1990 a medium sized backhoe, operator, and fuel cost $60.00/hour. And after I had a. 24-26" stump removed at a cost of $90.00 I realized I had to find a cheaper way. I wanted them out of the ground so I could till the ground. I had major plans/dreams so I called BATF&E for laws/rules. An Agent sent out the "Orange Book" which I read cover to cover. I welded up a magazine and lined it with billets of white oak3" thick. I attached a electric blasting cap locking box that would hold 500 caps. Over the next 3 years I removed hundreds of stumps and blew up 5,000 lbs of Tovex, hundreds of No 8 caps were ($1.60) with 12 foot leads. Cost was minimal! Most stumps only required 1 cap, the Tovex looked like Jimmy Deans sausage and cost $1.10. Small stumps took 1 and 1/2 to 2 sticks. Really large stumps took a second cap on the other side and 1 to 1 and 1/2 sticks. My helper would dig up next to the stump 18" or so with a post hole digger and I would cut the sticks into1/3s leaving the thin plastic casing not coat all the way through. Push the cap into the explosive, throw a quick clove hitch on the three pieces, then lay on my belly pushing the bundle up against the stump at how bottom of the hole, push in the sandy soil and pack it down as
"stemming". Most shots were 3-5 stumps, the biggest was 19 stumps all tied together in series. My detonator was 2x3x3/4 inch with a 9 volt Dura-cell battery with 2 rubber buttons that I would start with one button. Where the red-light came on I would add the second button and away we went...Of course the unwritten rule of shouting "Fire in the hole" 3 times just before each shot was always done. I am an Emergency Medicine Physician here in Greater Houston, Texas and I must say we never had an accident or even a close call. Even my two daughters who were 9/10 and12/13 got to push the buttons with proud poppa standing behind them. They were just starting into the Dad's not Cool phase but this plastered huge smiles on their faces and audible "wow"s.

Do a search on explosively driven flux compression generators.
Nuke level EMP using chemical explosives, and you can aim it!
i think that you are talking about an E.P.F.C.G. (explosively pumped flux compression generator).
I believe it was popular science in the 90s that wrote up the device in decent detail. The info is out there. UA-cam may try to keep it away from people but I'm sure its not hard to find if you look.
Hi! If you are going to do the wire detonation under water, please try different wires (gold, silver...etc) if you can. If you were not planning to do it under water, please give it a try. You can create nanoparticles this way, and (I guess, you already know this) if you manage to have different size of nanoparticles (which you might be able to control via the detonation parameters), you will have different colour of solutions (suspensions). It is a very fun experiment, but make sure that you use a very strong container for the water.
I took a 100 ml beaker and a cut off extension cord, filled the beaker with water and with my thumb and a quick movement put it into a half full 500 ml flat bottomed tall beaker. I used no red iron oxide by the ends of the cord, like some have recommended? I don't know if you were ever told that? Just water and glass. And slowly over time (1 day) , the beaker was displaced with the tiny bubbles of hydrogen. And after forever when it was finally full. The result was mute. It sounded like a French horn stuck briefly on one note, that went Blooot!. Well that's my hydrogen story. Love your Vids man!
UA-cam is going to love this one...
I know I did!
"between chemical and nuclear explosives" ... sounds like something that calls for a safety tie!
I’ve admired your knowing definition of expletive range of communication to be impressed by somebody that could lead press and the press and compress the knowledge and facts that you have to offer in the optimal time that you have to offer in your videos in which I know that it takes a lot of time and effort to break down genius
thank you so much im in tears
its helped me with understanding beyond the subjects you discuss and further understand with provision conviction proviction convision
Still smiling here from watching you set off explosives with a hammer. Thanks for educating us! Keep it up.
1:23 lol, thats awful, and it made me laugh
Don't be rama rama!

@@RandomInternetDog thats a great link. Ty.
@@RandomInternetDog that was amazing
Hank Hill cringing superimposed over the charcoal image was pretty good too.
TopFox yea wth haha
A collaboration with Slow Mo Guys would be really good with some of the work you guys do.
In regards to not trying any of this at home. Better put out a warning letter and mail to Cody's lab. Cody loves home stuff.
You had me at 'unusual type of explosive'
