It was mentioned on a Law and Order episode too; a killer used it to make explosive bullets. But I don't undertand how this powder can be made into bullets and what stops the bullets from exploding in the barrel of the gun.
@Ieatutube Nah not really, even if he could make a crystal of M. fulminate that looked like meth, the explosion from it wouldn't have destroyed the windows with enough force to knock down the evaporative cooler like it did, while leaving people in the room pretty much intact, especially Walt who was right beside it ^^
Hollywood exaggerates its explosions as dramatic license.
@Thedoctor19000 You do understand that mercury can form amalgams with other metals, right? Because only pure mercury is liquid at "room temperature".
Besides, it's a coating. If I spray paint an object, the liquid has a cure process and becomes a coating.
I'll be honest with you, I do not know the equation of this reaction so I can't tell what's in the glass, but there are a lot of ways to have a mercury compound in solid state.
By your calculations, would the crystallized form of this (a rock about two inches in diameter) be enough to cause the damage seen in the show Breaking Bad?
Hey, I'm really liking your videos! I got a question, though, that paper fuse you have in some of your videos, do you make it? If not where can you purchase such fuse? Also just a tip, when adding annotations, you can select "title" and it will make the letters bigger, and it won't have a grey box, around it, you can also move the "title" so its on the bottom of the screen, just a tip, but you might already know that!
I remember in bio class in 8th grade when our teacher was demonstrating this stuff. Yeah I dunno what he did exactly but the explosion was WAY bigger than that. lol Like the room was filled with smoke. It was hilarious.
I think he was just messing around but it was like "Oh lets try a little more." BAM!
after i realized it was fulminated mercury, i wondered what would have happened if Tuko (Tuco? Tucco?) had crushed it with his knife nad tried to snort it. if you know what im talking about...
@Basco36 in your opinion what is the most stable and safe primary to use I can make any in the world so it can be anything also it's for blasting caps. Thanks
when I first saw this I was "you store it?!" but then I realized it was underwater lol. cool stuff! mercury vapor scares me though... do you know the VOD?
@hkparker the detonation velocity of 4250 m/s is not as fast as other compounds but the reason it is so dangerous is because when it explodes it creates abnormally large amounts of fumes or gases
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@Basco36 It doesn't matter. The pieces can travel huge distances and damage someone else or just lie on the ground and hurt some animal or human days later!
