@Johnny Electronics, like phones, cameras, and computers all give off some radio frequency. My guess is some of those things being around can accidentally match the same frequency required to trigger the detonator.

Dear LPLawyer, Theres nothing like controlled demolition! Great job. I have only discovered your postings in the last two days and I could not be more thrilled. I am 70 years old and ever since I could hold a hammer &a screwdriver, I have insatiable curiosity as to "What's inside"! Especially when it comes to locks and their operation. It has been a lifelong obsession. Thanks so much for your contributions AND the fireworks! Keep going man, I have a lot of your videos to catch up on. Rick
This dude can pick open any lock in minutes, knows how to makes explosives, and owns like 20 guns He's starting to sound like the protagonist of an action movie.
Sounds like a Republican snowflake to me. I'm sure he feels very threatened by black people, hates Chinese, thinks trans dont exist and a bunch of other nonsense. Probably a trump supporter. You can have all the skills in the world and sound like the nicest guy. But at the end of the day that doesnt mean you're not an idiot. I'm willing to bet some of his beliefs come from the trump crowd. Very dumb and very delusional.
@Tristan Cline We are allowed guns in Canada. Just need a license, and magazine sizes are limited. Which is easy enough to get around. And no full auto.
It is probably true also. The most likely comes from the supervisor. Too bad LPL did not get help from an experienced video maker for this kind of things, high speed would have been real nice.
'so-called "low explosives" ' - chlorate and aluminium dust is actually the 'highest' low-explosive mixture (powder) I know of. Way, way more powerful than gunpowder. Aluminium dust is an extremely fine powder, just itching to get its hands on some oxygen, and the chlorate is brimming with oxygen just looking for a place to go. The wiki page on 'flash powder' says (of perchlorate+aluminium): '3 grams of mixture is enough to explode in open air without constraint other than air pressure'. Considering that exploding when unconfined is usually regarded as the mark of a high explosive, it's evident that chlorate+aluminium may not technically be a high explosive but it really, really wants to be.
I thought that part of the definition of a "High Explosive" is that it does NOT easily ignite on its own and without a detonator, like modern TNT Edit: Oh, I mixed that up with Primary and Secondary Explosives, my bad
@dotexe Gaming Unless LPL is really bad at grilling. Bacon can definitely be set on fire if you put it on a grill and don't keep the heat somewhat low.
Except Mythbusters would use chemical [meow] and powder [woofwoof] and a little pinch of [mooooo]. And Kari's ass would be in the shot several times XD
5:03 The range safety officer was smart on that fireworks igniter system. That was a flimsy one, and the cable wasn't long enough or shielded. Generally you should use the ones the range supplies, but if you want a good one you could use ones designed for model rockets. As a note, I'm surprised the range officer permitted that box. You should have had a vent with no direct line of sight pass-through in order to prevent it from becoming a pressure chamber. I doubt you had enough explosives for that to be an issue, and you were on a bomb range, but still. As of the mixture itself. I would have used a more traditional black powder derive pyrotechnic compound. The black powder variant you used was much more modern in formula. Black powder is slightly higher energy and makes blacker, thicker, smoke. I also would have chosen powdered iron as the additive instead of aluminum-based. This would give it a pretty red explosion. Finally, I would add some extra phosphates to the mixture to regulate the burn behavior and increase light production by the blast. They also give that distinct fireworks smell that we all love.
Lockpickinglawyer you are my unqualified hero. Masterfully done. When you got done you had a demolished lock, a working camera, and ten fingers. Total success!
+Dom B I am FAR from a demo expert. If nothing else, this taught me that there's a great deal I don't know... the real experts kept me from blowing off my little lock picking fingers.
I have to admit your channel has had me binge watching your lock picking. All that finesse is pretty awesome to watch. With that said there is something equally as satisfying watching you brutalize this British lock with explosives lol. Keep up the entertaining and informative show. Ive actually just ordered my first pick set and a couple of practice locks to start practicing.
I love how he said oh hell no to the remote detonator. Lol. "ok finished setting up!"... Wrong guys cell phone goes off, some guy remote locks his car doors. 2 Chinese companies used the same frequency? Rut Roh!.... For what it's worth. I'd have let you do it at my place. Not that it's really safe mind you, just that I belive in acceptable risk.... The chances of any of those odd explosion triggers I mentioned doing a damn thing is almost nil. You're more likely to get killed in a car crash on the way over. So hell with it. Lol. Just found the channel recently. Loving it so far.
It's NOT an acceptable risk. Especially when others watch this video and think this is how you could trigger this the professional way. When it only costs you some cents to use a goddamn shielded cable to avoid even a minor risk for quite savage, permanent injuries you should invest some cents and a minute of your time. People always tend to underestimate risks, so don't be tempted to gamble with your health.
Hi, LPL. I was shocked by the power of that amount of powder. It is easy to see how all those lost fingers occurred with kids playing with fireworks. Thanks for sharing! Stay healthy!
LPL I salute your originality on this video ... very funny & entertaining. Continued creativity like this will fuel, tremendous growth of your channel.
As a radio ham, I'm not surprised at all that your range officer balked at the wireless ignitor. Radio is freaking awesome, but a cheap little CW or even encoded-wave transmitter is definitely nowhere near secure enough for me to trust with a lock full of boom. Way too vulnerable to spurious interference from any variety of electronics for the next seventeen miles. For reference, my PC can kick off enough interference to make my walkie talkie nearly useless when I set it on my desk.

Love the video LPL. It did make me chuckle seeing the text at the beginning. Only in the US would the police assist making a UA-cam video blowing something up ;)
In my misspent youth, I dabbled with homemade fireworks and explosives. The key to low explosives, is the containment. In this case, the epoxy plug, was the potential weak point. But it held up, hence the results. To get the best results in your flash powder mix, samples should have been tested, to get the optimum mix. Just like a cook does periodic taste tests, and adjusts the ingredients accordingly. In most homemade firecrackers, some of the gas exits the fuse hole, so the burn has to be fast enough, to blow the firecracker walls, before too much gas escapes thru the fuse hole. But in this case, that really wasn't needed, since the epoxy plug created a very good seal. Better than I would have predicted.
No need for testing. Fire finely ground powders, the 70:30 mix by weight is close to perfect. It is what we use for a burst charge in class 1.3 salutes.
50 milligrams is not something that I have a gut feel for, so I converted that to grains since I use that a lot in reloading of ammunition. That works out to be about 0.77 grains. That's less powder than is even in the lowest .22 power loads (gray #1s) used in nail guns. Most of my handgun ammo uses 4 grains or so, depending upon caliber / loading. As such, that's really is a small amount of explosive that you put in there. Kind of makes me wonder what could be accomplished with just the powder from a .22 power load. Technically, that's not an explosive, but rather just something that burns fast, but for something like this, maybe it would be enough.
It's basically flash powder. Well... more or less flash powder anyway. The damn thing detonates if you look at it funny and he went as far as angering it additionally... yeh, less than a grain sounds about right for this job
Grumpy old man, They still just deflagrate like smokless powder. Infact smokless powder is more powerful than any perchlorate mix, because it is basically nitrocellulose which is guncotton (a very powerful explosive) and it also has a small percentage of nitroglycerin in the vast majority of smokless powder mixes which is even more powerful again. There is very very few things he could put into this lock at these tiny quantities used that would detonate. Explode yes, but detonate no. And you would need something that detonates with high brissance to work here, in my opinion. U can hear a hiss also and not a bang, which is very suspicious. Read my post I just posted in main comments section a few minutes ago.
When you said you duct taped your camera to the glass you were filming through, my first thought was. "Havn't you ever seen those lil desk toys of the swinging balls that clack back and forth?"
My bad... 50mg is in deed only 1/20th of a gram. Then again, the quantity sitting in the dishes sure did look like about a half gram but I realize looks can be quite deceptive if you haven't seen it on a scale. An honest mistake either from Lock Picking Lawyer or from me, but I think the mistake is mine.

But in this case, that really wasn't needed, since the epoxy plug created a very good seal. Better than I would have predicted.
No need for testing. Fire finely ground powders, the 70:30 mix by weight is close to perfect. It is what we use for a burst charge in class 1.3 salutes.
"Shockwaves in my explosion?" It's more likely than you'd think.
No actual shock waves with flash powder (at least perchlorate based ones). They just deflagrate very rapidly, there is no detonation.
What revolutionary way to open a British lock! :)
50 milligrams is not something that I have a gut feel for, so I converted that to grains since I use that a lot in reloading of ammunition. That works out to be about 0.77 grains. That's less powder than is even in the lowest .22 power loads (gray #1s) used in nail guns. Most of my handgun ammo uses 4 grains or so, depending upon caliber / loading. As such, that's really is a small amount of explosive that you put in there. Kind of makes me wonder what could be accomplished with just the powder from a .22 power load. Technically, that's not an explosive, but rather just something that burns fast, but for something like this, maybe it would be enough.

Perchlorate and aluminum have more pop.
It's basically flash powder. Well... more or less flash powder anyway. The damn thing detonates if you look at it funny and he went as far as angering it additionally... yeh, less than a grain sounds about right for this job
That's essentially what he does with his recent Ramset videos. Not much seems to be able to stand up to the Ramset.
Black powder maybe, 3 or 4 f, ground into a fine dust. Smokeless will just burn.
Grumpy old man, They still just deflagrate like smokless powder. Infact smokless powder is more powerful than any perchlorate mix, because it is basically nitrocellulose which is guncotton (a very powerful explosive) and it also has a small percentage of nitroglycerin in the vast majority of smokless powder mixes which is even more powerful again. There is very very few things he could put into this lock at these tiny quantities used that would detonate. Explode yes, but detonate no. And you would need something that detonates with high brissance to work here, in my opinion.
U can hear a hiss also and not a bang, which is very suspicious.
Read my post I just posted in main comments section a few minutes ago.
As a Brit who loves a good explosion. This was brilliant LPL 😅😅👍✌UK,USA✌
I love that this video is in the "education" category... "it's ok, I'm just getting educated!" ;)
Blowing up a lock, classic 4th of July celebration
When you said you duct taped your camera to the glass you were filming through, my first thought was. "Havn't you ever seen those lil desk toys of the swinging balls that clack back and forth?"
“Hello sheriff’s office, how can I direct your call?”
“This is the lockpicking lawyer..”
With a half gram of flash powder??
I'm impressed!
You joking right? 1 g is 1000 mg
No.. 0.05g of flash powder.
My bad... 50mg is in deed only 1/20th of a gram.
Then again, the quantity sitting in the dishes sure did look like about a half gram but I realize looks can be quite deceptive if you haven't seen it on a scale.
An honest mistake either from Lock Picking Lawyer or from me, but I think the mistake is mine.
To quote Michael Caine: "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!"
Happy 4th from Germany! Nice "pick"!
I think this has got to be the Best Lock "Picking" Videos I've ever seen Thanks for this one
