Half Stick of Dynamite and Propane Tank

[Paul8259]

Addendum: I have only experimented with a small propane camping bottle, one road flare and a .30 cal M1-Carbine rifle to shoot the hanging canister. The blast flushed my face and my friends from 50 yards away, but there was no wind that day. People came driving up to see what happened. :lol:

[Paul8259]

OK, well the other way to do it, since newer propane tanks have safety valves to prevent exploding, is to put a fire (Sterno is good or charcoal) under the tank to heat it till it bursts and then have flares all round to detonate the gas and air mixture ... Oops, I said too much already. Keep in mind a 20 pound Propane tank is equivalent to 50 sticks of dynamite in total explosive power!

[Paul8259]

If you want to create an real FAE (Fuel Air Explosion) you need to disperse the gas completely then ignite it, usually with an magnesium flare -- wind is bad, as it can mess up your result.

1/2 stick...don't embarrass yourself. That's not even close.

[generator5500w]

next time better get 500 gallons of propane tank and see what happen

[warkiller5]

was not as big as expected

[freedomismoneyusa]

This reminds me of the part on finding nemo where the water mines blow up at the submarine shark attack scene and at the surface its just like a pelican fart... hahaha!

The bird was way closer to the camera than explosion.

[Cjfoley96]

[tigmonx]

@derekvalo lmao wow, what a dull refrence just thinking about the show makes me sleepy already... then I woke my self up by playing the video again with the explosion

[JtsGreene]

Nothing like adding shrapnel to your dynamite............

[audiophile331]

What's a "pineapple" firework bomb? Is it 1/4 or 1/2 stick of dynamite?

Anyone know?

[audiophile331]

And also, what size of dynamite is an "Ash tray" bomb?

[mets2die4]

check out my firecracker videos

[flamingknifevideos]

wth you don't need to stand THAT far away

[resinated666]

they were expecting the propane tank to blow.

[hihix66]

@flamingknifevideos well...when you have a half stick next to a metal container, shrapnel could fly incredibly far

[threebuddies]

@flamingknifevideos Propane tank could send pieces flying.

[PyroNonStop]

@flamingknifevideos listen to hihix66 but anyways he could've offered the camera to get destroyd

[GreatWhite85]

@flamingknifevideos Luckily this was just flash powder of some kind so yeah, you are right. However, if had been a real high explosive blast, pieces of that tank would have flown up to a half mile easy, especially the base plate. BUT i apologize if i sound like an asshole, and being that these guys put the contents UNDER the tank it have mostly just gone straight up and out so they were somewhat safe. Just saying hot frag flies fast and far hahaha

[Fizzydog77]

@flamingknifevideos Better safe than sorry.
