    We really hoped the gel targets were going to arrive in time, but we have the worst luck with delivery services. So, our trusty mannequins will have to do for the time being. Still, these pagers really demonstrate that it's not the size that matters but how you use them.
    So, what should we test next?

      what if a disposable vape had explosives instead of juice. It already has a battery, switch, and heating element.

    • @markfergerson2145
      @markfergerson2145 Місяць тому +2

      @@cloudstorm-sd1edThe heating element would have to be replaced with a blasting cap or equivalent. The battery in a vape is definitely capable of supplying enough current to set off a blasting cap.
      However, a blasting cap is typically much larger than the heating element in a vape, meaning it’s going to take up space that could have been occupied by explosive. Even in that case the device will almost certainly be lethal, especially if the explosive is in the form of a shaped charge. Think about it, but not too hard.
      By “equivalent” I mean a homemade detonator which can be smaller than a blasting cap, but that’s one of those things you SHOULD NOT TRY AT HOME.

      The pagers had battery components replaced with PETN (the residue was identified along with the stainless steel casing fragments). They also worked as batteries.
      So both the explosive and the battery were in one container waiting for a trigger signal.

    • @mnxs
      @mnxs Місяць тому +9

      ​@@TheAnonymmynonaThe propellant in a gun is fully contained within the chamber and barrel, ie., there is no explosives-induced shockwave that travels from a gun (irrespective of size) to the operator's noggin (only out the muzzle). This would only happen if you had a catastrophic failure in the gun's containment, like what happened to Scott from Kentucky Ballistics.
      That aside, yes, the fact that we're talking _high_ explosives here makes things worse in terms of damage. High explosives are so because they have high _brisance,_ meaning that their detonation velocity is so high that they're _really_ good at tearing stuff apart. That also very much includes brain matter and other soft tissues. The skull itself will take the brunt of it, but the tissues behind will likely still get a very violent, intense pulse of getting "shaken", for lack of a better word. (Think how you could shake a pudding such that tears are created, or it falls apart.) I'd expect damage to the brain like a whiplash or other such trauma, but probably significantly worse.

      Hey Jake, I'm just going to shamelessly copy and paste my earlier comment so that you see it.
      "One point I'd make, purely from my own deductions, would be that the timetable for the operation was moved up, due to suspicions from the enemy. This leads me to believe that battery life was impacted, which likely caused Hez to think of wiretaps, because who saw this coming lol? So my initial impression was that the XO was self-contained in the battery and potentially did use an exothermic reaction from the battery to detonate. I'm no expert, but that could even be the source of the time delay. We could be looking at a mere couple grams of XO in that situation. Any thoughts boys? Great work as always."

    To those insisting it HAD to be the battery... I'm showing my age here, but I've owned several pagers, both numeric (small) and alpha (large) back before cell phones. Every one I had ran on a single cell, usually a AA cell. Depending on how many pages received, the battery would last about a month. These pagers had been in use for a while; some several months, before the event, so the batteries would have been changed.

    For those wondering about the archive footage, the dogs and the cat made it out of the house after the fire started (scared and confused), and the fire was fairly contained. They lost the mattress, probably got a bad scorch in the floor, and they'd be sanitizing for the resulting smoke damage (and all the water applied, as lithium fires are tough to put out), but it could have gone quite a lot worse.
    Batteries should definitely be respected, but they don't have the detonation speed of true explosives, and 'yield' is pretty dependent on size. Small ones really don't give much of a pop, it's more with the large kinds of rechargables as you see in laptops and electric mobility scooters where you see the potential for a more dangerous blast, if something went really wrong somehow.

    I read a news report that the pager bombs had a small copper disc next to the explosive charge to act as a tiny EFP. If true, I think this makes sense from a terminal ballistics point of view. The projectile would create a larger temporary cavity in the flesh and drag more plastic and fragmentation into the wound. This would greatly increase bleeding and infection risk, as it is very difficult to find and remove plastic fragments from the body. I'm a bit skeptical that such a small explosive charge could create an effective EFP however.

      ​@@chemistryofquestionablequa6252 Interesting. I think if you were to add some sort of containment, like a small plastic shell, it would possibly add some more 'umph' to the flash powder allowing it to set off the main explosive easier. Just a theory.

    There were reports that the Apollo had a rechargeable Lithium AA battery. Since IDF was making about 5000 of these, setting up a manufacturing run of 5000 Lithium AA batteries that are roughly half lithium and half explosive would not be difficult. Google says AA lithium cell is approximately 15 grams, so getting 5 grams of explosive into it is possible.
    There remains how you trigger it. But having it inside the battery hides it in plain sight.

    I believe they set it up to where to view encrypted messages you need to press 2 buttons at the same time causing you to have both hands on the pager as it explodes. Then 5 minutes later just sent a command to detonate all additional pagers. This is why to Iranian ambassador lost fingers from both hands and an eye from holding it close to his face to read the message. Can’t build bombs without fingers.

      Hate to ruin your day, but it's way more complicated and device-dependent. The + side of a galvanic cell (battery) is only the cathode when it is discharging. It switches otherwise. Electrolytic cells are the opposite, where "an ode is positive" or whichever of the million mnemonics you prefer. Then you have tubes, diodes, etc.

    Alphanumeric pagers like the "Alpha gold" you showed were not designed to be carried in the pockt. They came with a belt clips carrier case. The pager friction fit inside this case, the case was clipped to the belt. By the time this type of pager came out, Motorola had figured out that using the belt clip was a pain. It wasn't easily taken off the belt to read and was a major pain to re-clip back to the belt. (Damn I feel old know)

      From an electronics standpoint this would not be straightforward. It would be significantly easier to add explosives to the packaging. Depending on the design, batteries would occasionally need to be swapped out as well.
