Nitroglycerine Detonation Filmed in Slo-Mo - Explosions: How We Shook the World, Preview - BBC Four

[TheBommel90]

slow mo and not even 720p? pretty poor

[234fpi]

nice vid

[MegaDude599]

Chuck norrises spit

[dave0z96]

I want to make some dynamite . lol

[442hoeky]

Lab guy: "You mind getting that camera out of here now? I still have a batch of meth to cook before I can get out of here."

[guz9122]

UNSTABLE!

[MrTimothytim]

i wish you didnt have the acsent so i could watch this :(

[warday16]

ok. i would walk up behind this guy during the most important mixing part and go, "BOO!". it would be tottaly worth it.

[kalkbayrock]

@warday16  you would die if you did that.

[Schelome]

Wadsworth constant...

[334683171014]

Oh and i did four drops with the hammer and got one hell of a surprise, those four little drops were literally as loud as a 12 gauge shotgun, i was not expecting it to be that loud at all. It really really packs the ultimate punch, i was into flash powder but this shit makes flash powder look like a pussy, its like comparing the strength of Styrofoam to depleted uranium, its that much different!!!!

[334683171014]

I have actually had the honor of doing this myself, let me clear something up, the first time i tried the synth i added the glycerin too fast and had a runaway nitration however i was getting my seperatory funnel at the time and i smelt something horrible looked over where the beaker was and it was black and smoking, so i just stayed away for a couple minuites, in small quantities theres nothing to worry about because in the acids or water its very very hard to detonate (in small quant)

[DiegoDemonho]

Coisa de Clube da Luta...

[aseglkj]

looks like dr. contini already caught some shrapnel to the face

[ffernandesvideos]

sou do Brasil, quero LEGENDAA =DD

[Me102288]

holy, stuff explodes like hydrogen.



[wilbawild01]

Love this shit!!! :-)

[putango123]

i would totally label a bottle of this "shake before use" lol

[IamEyalMarcosLevit]

@putango123 a whole bottle won't live survivers around to enjoy the joke...

[TacticleTorrent]

Like if you stumpled upon this!

[luigi14444]

9 people were injured by nitroglycerin.

[pakourmasta226]

this is what chuck norris pisses

[SharpenedSpirit]

do not try this at home or your face will look like 0:54

[DeweyDuck420]

@SharpenedSpirit ya cuz nitroglycerine causes acne scarring. clever one

[cloudcally]

Nitroglycerine + Car + Speed Bump = Screwed

[cabanaboi29]

whoo whoo so you just figured this out what a moron whoo whoo boom boom get a life you FFF (aka fuckin foreign freak)

[UTubeisSHIT523441]

bang, bang, thats what internet morons are only interested in. stupid.

[SirDude456]

OK, so lets review kids, all you need to make the stuff is some nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and some glycerin. Oh ya, and you will want to keep all of those materials at a constant temp, or you can blow yourself sky-high

[tauwarlord]

@SirDude456 don't forget: Do NOT shake at ANY time....

[TheWholtz]

@SirDude456 And then mix it with sawdust and you just made dynamite!

[Sacmannnnnnnn]

those beakers would make a nice bong..

:40.

[blingadude]

@Sacmannnnnnnn That was a retarded comment...

[aprilmarco]

That was crazy.

[YAGOWPAIN]

MUITO FODA

[draljf]

The programme this is from is being reshown on BBC4 on Tuesday 1st February 2011 - which means you can watch it on BBC's iPlayer any time for a week after that.

[DeFliegendeHollander]

Liquid nitro turns in 4 hot gases and it's explosion haves the fasted shock wave for an explosif.

Beautifull.

[ikahn17]

i wanted to keep watching.. :(

[hanzithaking]

chuck norris's pee !!!

[matthewrocks711]

Chuck norris is fat

[myfreepaysite1]

bloody brilliant mate the dogs bollocks right-o

[jamenealm]

liquid gunpowder?

[padlockd]

Wow they need to do some research on how to light a subject for slow-mo recording. Cool little pop though.

[GallowayJesse]

How can someone be smart enough to uncover new properties of nitroglycerin and then think that the best way to showcase it's explosive properties would be to do it in a glass container?

[powerrangerguy]

@GallowayJesse High Intelligence, low wisdom.

[ventilize]

i swear my farts have nitroglycerine in them because my feels like its on fire a lot so ig uess you might say i've got a hot ass :P

[Segador128]

Lets make some Nitroglycerin powered cars

[iknowmy3table]

spoiler: detonation is just when the explosion explodes at a rate faster than the speed of sound, detonation is what distinguishes high explosives from low explosives, the energy is released at such a rate that it will cause serious wear on the shape of any metal structure which is why high explosives aren't used in guns, detonation is a phenomenon that engineers fear when designing any device that uses explosions such as firearms and internal combustion engines

[560287144602817]

i would love to see a litre go off

[scientologyRfail]

Chuck Norris` piss

[alewisgb]

i could do that!!! even make nitric acid

[SiLorenzKo]

Chuck Norris doesn't cry.

[ValeteKirUh]

imagine they used this in bullets, WOOOOOT

[bluepickle15]

@ValeteKirUh They don't because its extremely dangerous, if that happens with a hammer, just think what would happen if you tried to shoot it out of a gun >.> (it woulb blow up the gun.)

[adriiPortillo]

read about doouble based smokeless shotgun propellant. It's your everyday smokeless gunpowder and is about 90% nitroglycerine.

[DeweyDuck420]

@ValeteKirUh lol if you used this in bullets you'd be the target everytime.

[draljf]

Thanks @workingedge - 5 days left to watch the whole film on BBC's iPlayer in the UK (and there's some extra videos on the BBC's website for the programme too...just Google it....)

[dannyyuwu]

ima make a waterballoon that contains that liquid

[tavarestattoo]

PHANTÁSTIGO! lágrimas de chuck norris

[firup69]

@tavarestattoo chuck norris dosent cry

[TheRmiBoys]

when i hear the word Nitroglycerin, i picture green crates with the word "NITRO" writtin in yellow on it...

[workingedge]

The full 1 hour programme is now on BBC iplayer if you're in the UK (search BBC for "explosions")

[pelotillo]

Amazing!...

[draljf]

The film that this is a clip from is on in the UK tonight - BBC4 at 8pm.

[fantamize]

Wow that's supper fast.

[Epicon92]

1:29 for actual explosion

[boniben]

@Epicon92 merci



[riiad]

@Epicon92 Thanks pal.

[dstrong1337]

@Epicon92 lol thank you

[karlozRAWR]

Cool.

[Trombonauta]

Pure science... ¬¬

[workingedge]

Check out the other preview clips from the same programme - search for "Explosions: How we shook the world"

[Encraftonline]

Tear, blood ........ Nahhh, it is pure Sweat of Chuck Norris.

[TheRacistCunt]

@Encraftonline chuck norris doesn't sweat

[cabdragon333]

That is the blood of Chuck Norris. Good thing nothing can break his skin.

[EmperorOfMars]

@Gtrvspecnur2 Chuck Norris doesn't cry

[Rascus75]

@EmperorOfMars And the demonstration in the video is exactly why

[megabrowser17]

@Gtrvspecnur2 No, that's just a fraction of an ounce of his daily sweat. His tears give birth to superheros, and the last time he shed a tear was when he fought to the death with Bruce Lee in Space, landing eventually on Jupiter (hence the Earth shattering impacts). Legend has it that the tear is still in space.

[DKsasquatch]

@Gtrvspecnur2 Too bad Chuck Norris never cries, therefore your tear theory is dis proven.

[DKsasquatch]

@DKsasquatch EDIT: sorta ninja'd by megabrowser....

[firup69]

@Gtrvspecnur2 chuck norris doesn't cry

[l1qu1dm3t4lIV]

@Gtrvspecnur2

which is also the most rare liquid on earth.

[Viracocha711]

@Gtrvspecnur2 Chuck Norris is anti-science & thinks the world is 6000yrs old! FRUITCAKE!!

[Geekman100]

@Gtrvspecnur2 but Chuck Norris never cries

[Marleey32]

@Geekman100 Except when someone tells him the world will be ruled by feminists...

[Geekman100]

@Marleey32 ah, that's true

[aahhmmeedd112233]

@Gtrvspecnur2 Chuck norris is nothing but a human

[turpskadey]

@Gtrvspecnur2 lies! Chuck Norris would never shed a tear. Which is sad, because a single tear of his could cure all forms of cancer.

[qroxfire]

@turpskadey a drop of chuck norris's piss then?

[wolvenblacktalon1]

@qroxfire chucks piss is what we like to call "red bull"

[Aofex]

It was a small amount, but I would have liked to see the hammer or the surface to see if it left a dent.

[kemita]

Science is the best science

[beatsiz]

Thumbs Up if you thought that the Chemist was putting his Hearing Protection back on to Hit another Drop of Nitroglycerin to Shock the guy @ 2:06

[jonnywright13]

That man has BALLS OF EFFIN STEEL!!!

[h0m3fr33]

1:29 for the actual thing...

[damafia29]

it should be brave enuff, or maybe dumb enuff to attempt to make some

[andyhbegg]

Cranfield should invest a small amount of money in a micro-reactor to make the nitroglycerine without exposing the chemist to the hazard of an accidental explosion. Not as much fun but certainly much safer.

[ste887]

used to make this stuff in school.

conc. nitric

conc. sulphuric

glycerine

ice bath.

temp must be kept under 5 degrees

[McQuackor]

there's just sth about Brits with explosives that i find strangely arousing...

intelectually speaking

[Luubylou]

This is reaaaaallyyy cool! :)

[workingedge]

Mankind081 - at 15,000 frames per second you're obviously going to get lower signal to noise and resolution; think how long the sensor has to collect each image.

[edwonderfulworld]

Like the title "How We Shook the World"

[Mankind081]

Awful video quality.

HD please BBC

[lkymky]

@Mankind081 I know right!

[igbhd]

awesome
