@Dornier335A The mass was less than 0.1g as that is the limit to my scales accuracy and it did not register on the scales. The mass of the crystal was probably in the range of one tenth to one twentieth of that.
@alabaska182 Yeah, it is great to use for tiny firecrackers though they do cause yours ears to ring for a long time if you dont cover them of have earmuffs on. I dont have a video of this one with sound but I will upload one later of a different example.
TATP detonates when confined, by shock wave or heat, but it deflagerates by flame. The substance is strong and easy to make, but it is also sensitive at the same time, so when handling the amounts of TATP anything can go wrong if you had an accident with it.
How come it detonated?
I thought AP only burns with a flash when unconfined and under a certain amount of gram

You can see the crystal go DDT, it's first deflagrating and then detonating. =)
I thought this stuff would be more powerful. I made a 0,1g unconfined flash powder test and it blew a much larger hole in the aluminium can.

OK, I understand =)
Was it filmed at 1000 or 1200 fps?

How on earth did you get 30% Hydrogen peroxide in Australia for synthesis? Nice vid by the way :)

Wow that's incredible! That stuff would be fun to make for little tini firecrackers :P do you have the video that's unedited? so we can hear it.

@alabaska182 Haha, nice idea. :) Usually Acetone peroxide is used in blasting caps though.

That's crazy I thought AP just 'flashed' like black powder or flash powder if unconfined.
Looks dangerous , but i['m sure you know what you're doing. Can you tell me what camera you used for the ultra slow mo?

@eveningniteshade I used the Casio Exilim FC-100 set to 1000 fps
