  • Can you launch specially modified space car into space by using 70 kilos / 155 pounds of dynamite and anfo? We are going to find out in this episode of Finnish space program and at the same time Finland is going to join elite club of countries with manned space flight capability!
    Don't try this at home or in your own country! explosives are dangerous and they can throw heavy objects really long distances! Everything in the video is done by trained professionals in a safe location with HUGE safety area!
    Link to Henri's video where you can see how space car was built • 70kg dynamittia auton ...

      Amazingly US scientists had the idea of using controlled nuclear explosions as a form of propulsion for space travel. Since it's not a good idea to test the idea with actual nuclear explosions they used a common explosive instead. If they had used the real stuff I wonder if it would have ended the same as this test? 😆

    Having had training as a missile electrician on Titan II missiles, and having reviewed movies of multiple launch failures in the US space and missile programs, I feel well qualified to render my analysis of your launch. After reviewing the footage you have from multiple angles, it is clear to me that your first stage booster dyanamite/anfo was misaligned with the actual space vehicle itself. This resulted in the vehicle receiving a shearing side blast from the booster instead of a direct shove from beneath. Also, pallets are not an acceptable staging material. Locating them between the first stage booster and the launch vehicle itself resulted in a propagation zone that allowed the first stage to catastrophically fragment before the force of it's thrust interacted with the launch vehicle.
    Just my not-so-humble opinion. Your mileage (kilometerage??) may vary.

      Sadly, nuclear bombs are still the most mass-efficient method we know of for producing energy. Non-exploding-types of nuclear engines do exist, however - usually they are using the heat of the nuclear reaction to heat up a working (ionizable, if possible!) fluid - so far, just like a nuclear reactor for a power plant... - into super hot gas or plasma, whereupon it then operates like a regular rocket engine in terms of converting that hot gas into focused kinetic energy with a nozzle - with the addendum that if it is a plasma, you can use magnetic confinement for the heating chamber and nozzle, allowing you to exceed the melting temperature of any material, and so getting MUCH better performance from the temperature (because higher temperature equals more volume per mass, e.g. pressure, and higher exhaust velocity of that mass when fully expanded, meaning greater specific impulse)

      to launch 500Kg of material (like car) into space you will need at least 6.8 tons of dynamite due to my calculations. Because if you want to launch something into space it has to have 11.2 Km/s. With this speed a mass with one ton will have a Energy of 3.1*10^10 J
      and since TNT has a Energy density of 4.6MJ/Kg you will need to have at least 6.8 Tons to get this speed.
      But with 70Kg of TNT it should fly like 64 Km high if the energy would have been transferred well and if there wouldnt be any air.
      (Epot=m*g*h => h=Epot/m*g=(70Kg*4,6*10^6J/Kg)/(500Kg*9.81m/(s^2))=64Km

    There is a myth that the USA actually beat the USSR in putting an object in orbit, but did so by accident when they were testing an underground nuclear bomb. They drilled a super deep hole and lowered the bomb into it then capped the whole thing off with a really heavy plug to try to contain the entire explosion. I believe they said the cap was 9000 tons but that might not be accurate, either way using the high speed photography of the day the plug only showed up in a single frame and the math says that it was moving way over escape velocity and that they may have actually sent that giant steel slug hurdling through space. Others say that it would have burnt up in the atmosphere from the friction but this sounds like a job for Beyond The Press Man to investigate and try to figure out. Scaled down of course.
