Removing big rock with PETN #Explosives and a lead azide blasting cap
Просмотров 1 тыс.3 месяца назад
1100 lb white granite elongated egg shaped rock being removed from my garden using 6 grams of PETN and a lead azide/PETN blasting cap. The rock was way bigger then it looked do to its shape and the PETN shattered it all the way to the tip 2 1/2 feet into the ground. Thanks @christophermichaud7187 for letting me use your drill bit.
XPN VS PETN ! #chemistry #science #

Fun video. XPN made a very good dent, with a detonation velocity (m/s) 7,100 and Test Density (g/cm3) 1.85 But the PETN is king, with a Detonation velocity (m/s) 8,400 and Density (g/cm3) at 1.76.

I might be the first on RUclips to make a video on this compound and have it come out as a solid. More tests coming soon. The mic in my phone does the sound no justice because my phone tries to adjust the sound down the louder it gets. Detonation velocity (m/s) 7,100 Test Density (g/cm3) 1.852

That was frickin awesome 👍😎
Where do you get those matches
E bay
UV makes ozone and trace Nitric Oxides, It is the trace Nitric acid that is giving you the nitrate, So you need to make a birkeland eyde reactor Generator feeding it Ozone may improve nitric acid yield, but in general dry air with no CO2 will give best yield I'd wager.
You could try building a small jacobs ladder inside a 3 neck rbf using a neon sign transformer to power it, then pass air through the flask with gas take off adapters and that will boost your nitric oxides

Could glacial acetic acid replace acetic anhydride for an RTX synthesis too?
Or in this case is the glacial acetic acid just acting as a catalyst and a dehydrating agent?
Another great video
❤ really appreciate ur efffort, Kindly make a video on synthesis of keto-rdx & hmx 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I don't understand the chemistry, you're reacting ammonium hydroxide with ozone? That would make nitrogen, water and oxygen. I'm assuming that you are oxidising the nitrogen somehow to form dilute acid with but this would be very inefficient under normal conditions, you mention uv and a heat lamp. Have you considered hv discharge like in a birkeland eyed reactor. That would form more NOX and disolve in the water vapour to form nitric acid that will react with the ammonia, perhaps. Am I right that it's just photo disassociation of oxygen, there's no other photocatalytic reaction or is the ammonia also breaking up into hydrogen and amino radical? Good video
The light was for heat in this experiment. You got me thinking that maybe the ox generator took to much nitrogen out of the air, lol It filters all but 10% of the nitrogen. I should have though of that.
No the hydroxide is to generate ammonia gas. The UV makes very very very small traces of Nitric oxide.
@Refertech101 yes I saw my mistake later, I meant to say ammonia gas. I made the comment at like 3am. But there will be ammonium hydroxide since water is a byproduct and the ammonia will disolve in that I would say that the uv provides the energy for oxygen to oxidize the ammonia to nitric oxides albeit inefficiently, ozone will decompose to diatomic and atomic oxygen which will oxidize ammonia to form nitrogen and water and also oxidize the said nitrogen. It's just that nitrogen doesn't readily oxidize without a sufficiently high energy. I think passing stream of these gasses through an electric arc wouod be a more efficient way. Generally the way you make ammonium nitrate is by reacting ammonia and nitric acid. This setup will probably be generating a huge excess of ammonia
@@SodiumInteresting In UV sterilization systems Coronal discharge units will make trace, but even UV bulbs will as well due to free radical Oxygen generation just much less, moist air causes it more than dry air. Birkeland - Eyde process is deff the better way to go, as this is just using accidental trace production vs some thing intended to make Nitric oxide. You can make any Nitrate based off that as well, aside from the inherent inefficiencies of the Birkeland Eyde process, but that still nukes this get up in efficiency terms
@Refertech101 good experiment though. It got me wondering how it works. Do you think air supply instead of oxygen would be better for this 🤔 or is the high oxygen concentration better for efficient rate of oxidising
FJB my man !!!
I would be curious about how this compares to a nitric acid from air generator.
Would it maybe make sense to first bubble ammonia through water and then ozone, or does it need additional air.
No because the ammonia would stay in the water and make ammonium hydroxide
@@darianballard2074 that makes sense. thanks.
@@chemistryofquestionablequa6252 I fucked up on this one and should have used an air pump and not oxygen generator, because the oxygen generator only lets 10% nitrogen through it and I needed way more to make this work right and I didn't think about it till after I made the video. Dumb mistake
@@darianballard2074 hey, we all make occasional mistakes. It still worked, you're going to make it better from here!

Nice 🙂

Nope, neither do, at or over 10 grams. 😁
Wow, that’s amazing! I would love to know the historical background behind this piece. It appears to be very old. What a cool find.
❤ good job, looking forward for Keto-RdX & HMX synthesis. Its a sciencemadness community request.🎉 Regards
Cool project
Cool setup! I love it!
i personally wouldn't drip a strong base through a vigreux column like that, i hope it's an old column that you can afford being damaged
Good job
Good summery.
I've wanted to learn more chemistry, but cool setup. Probably could find others interested in buying some
Love it brother!!! Nice work!! 🇺🇸 That 50 is a monster!
I’d watch a video on that
I'm going to make a video of what I did to day but its not going very exciting lol :)
Big dog glad to see you doing some runs man keep the videos coming
Man that’s so awesome! I am interested to see how much you were able to produce.
It looks pretty clear.
I was looking at your channel. If ever in southern Maine my girlfriend and I would like to take you out to dinner and talk about world advents and chemistry.
That's a sweet apparatus setup!
Wicked awesome set up! Vid is blocky tho. Can't wait to see how much nitric you make
Your internet connection was Dug tier.
I would like to see your teaching clips in more detail. Where can I follow you? I am Thai. Some of your clips on RUclips may have been removed. I did not study them in detail.
That’s beautiful! ❤LL

Gross level of results reflects high level of mechanical incompetence.
Of the builders..... I'm not the only one that had problems and I've been doing mechanics, metal fabrication, machining and welding just about all my life. Nathan
While KClO3 can release its oxygen faster in most situations, KClO4 is technically more powerful per gram however is more stable in a variety of environments and typically will release its oxygen at a more stable and steady rate, however in the right situations both can rapidly decompose such as what your doing here and the extra oxygen atom per mole makes itself known with that louder bang but like I said its harder to get it initiated to that explosive point than it is to do with KClO3
Do you flegmatize your PETN with wax or something? Is in industry PETN flegmatized when used in blasting caps? If no, how they transport it from production site that makes xplosives to factory that makes caps?
I don't bother flegmatizing PETN. In most countries explosives like RDX, PETN and TNT are flegmatized.
can you try LOX-EX
How much more water then actetone should be used liks should the acetone be 10% of the amount of water i use thanks for the help in advance
your a real one for this, my backyard rpg is gonna be great thanks to you
Glad to hear you again
Hello. How much of SADS was there? The speed of detonation depends very much on the density of the substance. The density of SADS is very low and needs press.
Silver acetylide is weak , it is not worth producing it.
Not really, I used to use sads a lot and if used correctly it’s a very good primary. In a loose powder state it isn’t very strong, but even with some minor compressions it becomes a lot more powerful. Regardless of strength it can and has many times before in my case, reliably initiated all sorts of secondary’s. It’s also pretty cheap and easy to make, along with being not too sensitive and pretty stable. Very good for beginners.
I like sads for setting of etn
SADS has low VOD around 2000m/s, but what makes it useful is its ability of acceleration to its peak maximum VOD in very short amount of time with little amount (when pressed), which is enough for initiating secondary compounds in blasting caps. Certain type of Flash powders also has also same VOD, but they can't reach their full potential in little amounts (it is possible but requires large amount of material) therefore makes them not useful for initiating . But in my opinion i hate SADS, i prefer NHN , much less sensitive and storage stable for long periods of time also can be mixed with ETN to form homogeneous primary mixture ready for blasting cap design.
I don't know. I can't grade this reveiw. Sorry
?
When im worried about a solution eating an air stone, i just melt the end of the hose closed, and heat a small needle and poke a bunch of holes near the end.
Same grams, different molar ratio. Shouldn't the molar ratio be the same. Not a huge difference, but just to be fair.
