It's true, flour does actually explode. Any finely ground, flammable powder when sprayed into the air becomes highly explosive, due to the air in the system and the high surface area to volume ratio offered by the tiny particles.
@MrAndreiStanescu I thought that was Christmas paper they were lighting on fire..fuck thank you for clearing up that it was in fact as the video title says 'flour'. Dude science.
@christlunalover I was just reiterating the fact that it is real to the people that kept saying that this is fake, not trying to show off or whatever you think I was doing...
The reason the flour looks explosive is because of the speed it is getting ignited. If the particles spread throughout the air, the fire leaps around at immense speed, appearing as if the flour exploded. So I believe this is true
Special forces use an improvised explosive called a dust initiator. Its where they surround a explosive incendiary mix with flour or powdered sugar so when the initial charge goes off it spreads the fine particles into the air and lights them essentially doubling the explosive power. its used to level houses and boxcars and such.
If the rocket is what exploded, then it would have spread the flour in the air. The increased surface area of flour (or even sawdust) allows for chemical reactions to happen quicker. Hence flour is suddenly flamable. But flour is not explosive.
Take an empty cardboard box, put a handful of flour inside, shake it up to mix the flour with the air inside, then throw it onto a flame. (don't do this, it could kill you.)
it works better as an airborne suspension. This is true for any organic material basically. It's dangerous so only do it in a controlled environment, ie a lab hood.
you can get lungcancer just by breating that shit.
Belive it or not.. Without flour under ww2, They would not have been able to drop the bomb over japan. But stil people take it in their mouth everyday and belive what they are told.. Never been documented that it is healthy for the teeth.
The effect is called a dust explosion, so yes it is baking flour. High concentration of flour mixed with the oxygen in the air, and combusted to produce a large fireball.

@deafInstruments WHAT?? You are the second person in the last little while to send me some grouchy little passive aggressive snark about this video. I have absolutely no idea what you are referring too. Lose the attitude and try again.
so wat kind of rocket did u use? liek the model rocket engines, or did this rocket have an explosive is the tip? like after the propellant burns out, did the rocket expole and thats wat triggered the flour explosion?

it can explode just like gunpowder. i seem to remember that flour explosions are a real danger of life in industrial milling facilities and grain elevators.
its flammable because its spread around the air. the 'explosion' is caused from each flour dust catches on fire and lights nearby flour dusts on fire. when packed together it doesn't blow up like this.

an explosion is just something burning quickly!!! There is no difference.
This works better with icing sugar as it has a higher energy/surface area and sugar oxides more rapidly than starch in flour.
Best way to maximise the explosion is to use a non-flaming explosive to spread the flour then ignite it rapidly.
This is the same principle the fuel-air bomb uses which is about the most powerful non-nuclear weapon known to man-kind.
