    As soon as saw the title of your video, I was thinking to myself how 99.9% it wasn't going to work. Explosives need a much faster and stronger pressure wave to ignite. The press can provide the high pressure, but not fast enough. That is why the explosive in the blasting cap is different. It creates a lot of expanding gases, very, very fast. And that fast, high pressure wave is what starts off the explosive chain reaction in the detonation charge. Fun video, as always. Cheers!

      Depends on the explosive. The ones mostly used nowadays are very stable yes and won't easily explode. Something like dynamite from back in the days would be a very different story and would be highly unstable. Especially if some of the compound leaked out and crystallised on the outside.

      Yeah, that one surprised me as well. Remember that blasting caps can be made out of a variety of materials. They could have just had blasting caps that could only be ignited by electrical input.
      Also, while this is a 4 ton press it transmits that force over what looks like a 1 square foot area. Biting a blasting cap transmits a smaller force over a much, much smaller area. This would make a greater force on that tiny area which would explain why biting one would set it off but not the press.

    Nitroglycerine?
    That is like dynamite unstabilized.
