@ExothermicVideos I use HMTD in nearly every blasting cap, as it is a phenomenal initiator. The sensitivity to stimuli is relatively high, though manageable with the proper safety equipment.
@CanadianPyro1 Okay, I was just wondering. Yeah, HMTD is a pretty brisant initiator. As I recall .27g dead pressed is capable of detonating TNT. Too bad it’s so sensitive. What proper safety equipment do you have?
@ExothermicVideos The press is homemade, and constructed from soft wood to minimize the chance of a fragment penetrating the blast shield in the event of an explosion.
I typically use drinking straws as casings, as they are relatively consistent in diameter, and HMTD tends to react badly with most metals.
@ExothermicVideos Well, I'm currently studying engineering at University, and I'm hoping to one day work in the energetics industry, so yes. It's a rather steep hill to climb to do this stuff professionally, but it is my goal.
WTF..
nice Detonation ^^

Perfect ratio is: 71/24/5 ANNMAL
because oxygen balance is almost zero, then much more energy and gaseous products from blast. You have to test

Very nice; clearly a full detonation judging by the power and relatively low amount of smoke. Is this the charge that was heard 8 miles away?

@HDRCX550VE Nope, but this charge was basically identical to the one that was heard 8 miles away.

Do you make your Ammonium Nitrate?

@MrAustralianPyro No, it's purchased in a very impure state and purified by filtration and recrystallization.

Good job. Greenpeace won’t be happy.
How often do you use HMTD in your blasting caps?

@ExothermicVideos A hands free cap pressing jig equipped with a blast shield, gloves, ear defenders and shatter resistant safety goggles.
CanadianPyro1 9 months ago
@CanadianPyro1 Wow, so you’re really equipped.
So did you make the press or was it bought of the net?
Also do you use drinking straws as your casings?

@CanadianPyro1 Alright, good luck with that man.
I recently signed my life away to the U.S.M.C. and I aspire to be in E.O.D.

What % is the nitromethane? its nearly impossible to find pure stuff
williepie 9 months ago
@williepie It's 99.5% pure, and 'nearly impossible' is not equivalent to impossible. ;)
CanadianPyro1 9 months ago
@CanadianPyro1 i can only find r/c car nitromethane that is like 40% where do you obtain such pure stuff? is there a method of concentrating it?

@williepie Check your message Inbox.

@CanadianPyro1 can you also send me that message about obtaining nitromethane too

VERY GOOD!! once again! I want to see some uranium chips, with magnesium flash powder mixed with ammonium nitrate, and nitromethane!! I'd say:
55% AN
20% NM
25% uranium/magnesium flash powder!!
