Exploding Paint Can - Dust Explosion Demonstration

Craig Beals shows to make a small-scale dust explosion inside a paint can to model the catastrophic effects of a massive dust explosion in a grain silo, sugar refinery or coal mine. A dust explosion requires 5 components, each of which is provided in this demonstration using corn starch or lycopodium powder

With calcium carbide you can also let a paint can explode with water and fire.

[@BealsScience]

Good call! I haven’t tried carbide in a paint can but I did make a cannon using carbide! Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/tJrCCGmDpFI/видео.html

I did this in science class back in 2008...it was a science project to demonstrate a change reaction

[@insaneo4430]

I don't know if I've ever seen someone get so excited about an explosion!!!
Good vid man

[@BealsScience]

I am easily excited...
Thank you!

[@Artificial.-_-.intelligence]
