    All explosions seen in this video are special effects!
    Thermal shock detonation of ETN is an unreliable way of initiating this experimental explosive. I was able to achieve a succes rate of about 75% with bickford fuse. And about 25% with visco fuse and black powder (second detonation).

    One thing I’ve noticed with mixing ETN and PIB is it makes it A LOT harder to detonate. You really need quite the detonator and booster to get it to fully detonate.

    That's really cool I always knew you could thermal shock regular etn but I didn't know it would work with placticized etn too.

      Thanks! It isn't a reliable method though. But if it's all you got or wanna deal with it is doable.

      A small quantity of HMTD is enough to detonate any explosive if is closed in metal container.

      @@nicoschadjidemetriou4373 yeah it is, but HMTD is a little dangerous / unstable for my liking. Now via personal experience and research I do understand that it isn’t as bad as it’s made out to be, but there are still many safer primary’s out there. I for example use silver acetylide (double salts) cause it’s very strong, pretty inert to impact and friction + static, easy to make and most importantly stable. But there are loooaads more out there.

      @Mrgoosepoo. We are learning by experimenting. You always put the detonator the last moment. In 1963 I was 17Y.Old i filled iron corner of half inch with TNG (in wood fillings) and trinitronaphalin. The detonator was Potassium Clorate+Sulfur. I dropped it in a covered hole. I didn't imagine to be so strong. I made and mercury fulminated half a gramm. It is very easy.

    Do you get a nitro headache by shaping the ETN without gloves ?

    • @laboratoryofdavid
      @laboratoryofdavid  10 месяцев назад

      Good question. I've never had any headaches handling ETN. Maybe because ETN is a solid and nitroglycerin is a liquid, its absorbed easier through the skin.

    I don't think it achieved full order detonation, try using a more slow burning mix instead of bp

    • @laboratoryofdavid
      @laboratoryofdavid  2 года назад

      I think you're right. It was more a proof of concept. I've had succes with rocket candy and slow burning potassium nitrate flash. For normal detonators I use CHP anyway.

    • @GrassPossum
      @GrassPossum Год назад

      Slow burning? You want something faster if detonation is sought. BP is rarely fast enough to act as a primary.

      ​@@GrassPossum a heatshock etn detonator is sort of a nped, its like wrapping etn in foil and putting it over a candle, it detonates with great power. What he is doing here is just the same but instead of a candle you use a hot burning mixture.

    It didn't affect that much because there was something wrong with the video or did you want to try something different?
    I mean, was it because you put too much plasticization rate or did it not have much effect, or was this what you wanted to do anyway?

    • @laboratoryofdavid
      @laboratoryofdavid  Год назад

      The translation is a bit vague. But I think what you mean is that the effect of the etn on the wood block is too little. I agree on that but the block was laying loose on the ground. Next time I will try a more scientific approach. Interesting channel you've got.

    Before Re-crystallization we need to neutralize, for which we need sodium bicarbonate water solution in order to remove trapped acetone,
    Kindly help me prepare 1 liter of solution,
    How much sodium bicarbonate (powder) should i add to the Distilled water ???
    Plz be in detail....
    I also have ethanol available, isnt that good choice ?

    • @GrassPossum
      @GrassPossum Год назад

      Just saturate the sodium bicarb. You'll need to add it incrementally, testing pH each time after mixing. I'm concerned anyone who needs to ask this, is messing around with such things honestly.

      @@laboratoryofdavid Yes. The saying a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing, specifically relates to high energy chemistry. I've been engaged in the field for 45 years, have a reasonable chemistry and physics education though and I've read many classics like Lancaster and Conkling. Both these and several more are on my bookshelf. I also had Tony Arena as a mentor, something I can boast about in any company. I've had some close calls. I've never injured anyone, including myself. I have all my limbs, fingers and eyes. I know many professionals, which I was once, and the majority who've been in the game for more tjan twenty years are missing fingers, a hand or wearing an eye patch. I once commented during a pyrotechnics seminar in Queensland, that with all the eye patches, hooks for hand and wooden legs, it looked more like a pirates conference. This is not a field you should get involved in, unless you're serious, and either have at least a very good grounding in Redox chemistry, or are committed to getting this in your toolkit before getting too hands on, you're probably going to maim or kill yourself very suddenly and without any warning. Many of the RUclips channels posting these experimental fireworks, pyrotechnics and explosive videos are insanely foolish. Separation distances are often ridiculous. Lab techniques and precautions are horrifying and the very devices are sometimes very, very illegal for well established and often historically lethal reasons. The max size of salutes worldwide, is 3 inches. Any bigger and you're playing around with something that's far more hazardous than it is going to be entertaining. Many mixtures are unstable in the way they're shown. Those with the knowledge ate aware that it's OK if you're going to use the composition right away, but will need to stabilise it, in a specific way differently from one mix to another. Many rules like this are simply taken for granted and may not be mentioned by someone who knows this. Those who are knowledgeable and experienced will bend a lot of rules too, because they know the safety margins, or are familiar enough they account for factors in other ways. So I see some very competent people being talkes down to, by people who know some safery rules, but not much about the details and their assumption they can do better is poorly grounded in fact. Anyway. You only die once and blowing yourself up by miscalculation of the risks and your knowledge, is as good as any way I suppose.
