Hey guys,
I was scanning through the Tannerite patent and saw that they use Zirconium Hydride mixed w/ the Al. What role does this play in the reaction? Is
there anything I could use in place of this? It's pretty expensive. I could only find it for 60$/lb. Anyone know a cheaper source?

I just use straight 5 micron spherical from http://alphachemicals.com/aluminum_powder . It's local so I call the order in and pick it up. Saves me a ton on shipping.
A mix of 95/5 AN/AL and a high powered rifle slug is all you need for the "Tannerite" experience.

I'm impressed who U.S sell items like aluminium and other explosive precursors to ordinary civilian while on other side they claim fighting
terrorism...irony at its best.

All, the original question is of great interest to me. I know it must play an affect or Mr. tanner would not splurge on this expensive product?
Do hydrides sensitize more than the the pure metal powder? I am guessing so because they release hydrogen on decomp.
