Cremora Bomb

This is a giant bomb that is created using dairy creamer and black powder. Ideally there is little noise but in this case the device had a little too much lift in it so there was a significant concussion.

The standard 5 Gallon PVC paint bucket was used. I actually like the loudness of the effect but it isn't the way I was trained.

That was perfect in my opinion.

I'm just now finding this vid of yours. A year late, but was wondering what was the amount of BP used? Was the lift charge sealed or laying flat on buckets bottom? Any layering(papertowel) between the BP and Creamora, and how much Creamora/coffee creamer was used??

I'm using smaller cans in the ground for a movie shoot, and need a big blast for the ending. No person will be within 100ft of any of these, so dont worry.

Thanks

If it makes the women scream it is a good one! Nice job.

Very nice. (Check my videos for some other cremora pots.) I actually like the report along with the fireball, but any time I've seen someone over-lift the powder, they usually blow up the container. What did you use for a bucket? Something strong enough to withstand the extra lift would be great.

Nice. That was 5-gal? Since you thought you had toomuch lift, what proportions did you use? Have you ever tried pyrodex? Do you tamp the creamer? just curious...

That was pretty cool.

Great fireball, I had to watch that more than once. I found out the hard way I could get away with much less lift if I used commercial BP than home made. Maybe 30 to 40 grams over 60 grams.
