I remember Combat Engineers always asking for my IV bags, I was a combat medic, they used them to enhance explosions. I eventually changed my MOS to combat engineer. Loved it. 🇺🇸
@@maxscott3349 it's impractical in its pure form. What about that do you not get? Pure ethanol isn't very practical as a beverage but that doesn't mean all ethanol containing products are equal.
@@maxscott3349 you've clearly never worked with nitroglycerin... If you have you'd understand that it's unstable and having more than a few ml In one place is nerve racking to say the least. Pure nitroglycerin is not practice because of its sensitivity pure and simple , it served its place in history but has been entirely replaced by safer alternatives. regular dynamite is no better because over time it sweats nitroglycerin and forms crystals which are extremely shock sensitive. Especially for military use nitroglycerin is EXTREMELY impractical Because in a battle scenario a single bullet would set off your dynamite. But with c4 or tnt it wouldn't. It's not all about power. Stability, reliability, and sensitivity are all equally important factors.
Over all not a bad video. He got a few things wrong, but this is mostly due to his understanding "How to use" not "How it works" As military we are taught that you have classes. Propellant, high, and shape to be the main categories. The real truth is there is really only one type "expanding gases" and to categories sensitive and non sensitive. The more sensitive the more gas expands in a give time frame. So nitroglycerin is a highly reactive substance. We add wood pulp or now days DE to stabilize the nitroglycerin we call this dynamite. 1lb of dynamite is less powerful than 1lb of nitroglycerin, because not all of the weight of dynamite is nitroglycerin. Now rdx the bang in c4 is more reactive than nitroglycerin, but c4 is less powerful that dynamite because more stabilizer is needed to stabilize rdx that nitroglycerin. On to the highest explosive called HME this type uses two or more explosive to help with the filler problem you start with a super sinstive compound like RDX and uses a less sensitive compound to stabilize it, then add a vary small amount of neutral to stabilize the less sensitive so if rdx is a 10, c4 is a 6, and hme is 6+4-1 this is known as Simtex. Now these numbers are factual number just there to help understand the concept. Now that we under stand this we can understand that a solid rocket motor, a bomb, and a shape charge are all the same thing. It's not what is used it's how it's used that matters. A hobby rocket uses mixture of powders to achieve thrust while a large rocket booster on a space craft would more likely use a rdx blend. And black powder can be used as a shape charge. Even though rdx is more suitable.
There is literally no information on how to make explosives here. As my friend above me responded to you, all the information has been public and easily available for years now, and we haven't seen a big increase in bombings. The people who are truly capable of being dangerous don't want to, and the ones who want to generally aren't capable.

Chemistry can be your friend. Energetic substances are especially fun to play with for entertainment.
Depends on were yo live
Definitely fun!
Good stuff!
Nitroglycerin was in no way "impractical for any use". It was, in fact, used widely, for a lot of the same things explosives are used for today.
By itself it is impractical. Turned into dynamite it is practical.
@@jacobkudrowich Well they got an awful lot of use out of it considering how impractical it is
@@maxscott3349 it's impractical in its pure form. What about that do you not get?

@@jacobkudrowich Impractical for what? It's just as powerful of an explosive.

They really learned a lot about mines now.
Words can be even more destructive. Just be careful playing with fire.

Great explanation , thanks !
Me parece que no tienes mucha idea de altos explosivos.
आप ने बहुत अच्छी जनकरी दी इसके लिये धन्यवाद।
Does anyone know why it’s called a checker?
Those subtitles are hilarious XD
Boooom!
To much info as there might be some nuts around
In the Internet age, I think the info cat is long out of the bag.
