DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!

Seen one ☝️ of your videos by chance and had to check out your videos. Yep 👍 the first one ☝️ I got to see is the don’t try this at home. You know the lockdown and everything

Few months ago I put some in my car…. I'm now saying a huge hello from Mars…. Its alright here ya know!

When are you going to blow it up?

This dude is really out here teaching all of youtube how to make energetic materials.
Really doing the work

Chemistry is fascinating

Ammonium Nitrate – what is its inertness per LB (Lebanon Beirut) ?

So where can we see the explosive wire video??

What happens if you mix nitromethane and nitro-glycerin together, or Hi-wax fuel oil and ammonium nitrate and 400 grit aluminum powder

@tech Ingredients please set up soft and squishy objects in the shock waves path when you do this, jello and marshmallow.

1:24 She looks familiar… Maybe a relative?

How do you know so much? Where did you studied? Thanks for all the videos!

I knew a man who was missing the last joints of four fingers from playing with a blasting cap.

Oh snap, someone tell @explosions&fire he's gonna love the yellow liquid

Are you gonna do the cap bank detonator?

Do decomposition reactions require oxidizers like burning reactions do?

Were all dying to see part 2! But how the heck was your double base smokeless powder impact sensitive??

Looks like "tri-iodide" types. Made this with my father (who was a PhD chemist and geneticist). We had to use a ice bath to control the temperature precisely. I remember my father telling me if the temperature went outside the limits to run! Hahaha!

Together with so many others watching your videos, I am immensely impressed with the breadth and depth of knowledge you have at your command. However – contrary to appearances – I am sure that you don't quite know EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING. I'm also pretty sure that at your age you have not had time to pursue professional careers in chemistry, physics, distilling, optics, eletronics, acoustics, jet engines and so on, and so on.

Without wanting to seem nosy and intrusive, I and your other viewers (I know I can speak for them) would be MOST curious to know how you have managed to become so knowledgeable in so many fields. Intelligence alone cannot explain it, although clearly it's there in abundance, because there have been many other very clever people who have never done what you have.

Would it be impertinent of me to ask about your path in life? I'm not asking you to answer this in a comment, of course, but it would make an extraordinarily interesting video or two if you could overcome your evident modesty and give your many fans an insight into your background and research methods. Also, an introduction to your family would be interesting, as they are the people who must put up with your idiosyncratic interests and pursuits, and must therefore deserve some of the credit. It would also be interesting to hear of some of the projects you've undertaken which perhaps did not work out quite as well as hoped.

Is there any chance you could be persuaded to do something like that in future episodes?
I'm certain that every one of your fans would second me in this motion.

In the wake of the Beirut explosion, I’ve learned a lot of details about AN explosions over time, in particular, the Texas City incident happened, due to a fire breaking out among bags of fertilizer AN, it was certainly very slow to develop into a detonation, in that the fire was discovered, attempts were made to put it out, and even the city’s volunteer fire department had arrived on seen and was attempting to put it out. Which is pretty similar to the Beirut incident, where a long standing fire kept burning until there was a AN-only detonation.

So, I’m just kind of curious, it seems AN can detonate on its own without being sensitized, but what kind of heat are we looking at there? Does part of the AN also ignite and contribute to the heat build up before the detonation, or is it safe to assume that the heat has to build up from other things burning?

In particular, the Texas City incident was from a fire contained in a ship (well, two ships, and two different detonations) that lead to a lot of heat retention, leading to the fertilizer AN detonation, and in Beirut, it seems like fireworks were in part involved.

In the other biggest AN disaster, in Oppau Germany, they were actually using TNT to break up plasters developed by AN + Ammonium Sulfate. It appears that they had been under the impression that anything <60% of AN in an AN+AS mix was safe, but later tests showed that between 55–60% it grew drastically less safe, and could cause a detonation of other AN+AS even with a significantly lower AN percentage. So, generally overall, this was not just “AN got hot enough to detonate in a fire” situation.

This guy looks like Stephen Colbert if he didnt have makeup on, but hes like a serious version of him!

This is the best Real information that I have found on YouTube.
