Energetic material video review

Ral123 - 1-10-2013 at 11:57

I wanted to make a material that would introduce someone to a certain material, without having him read a lot of text and even post new topics.
I've said two times in the video with red letters that it autodetonates and injures both experienced and new to the hobby people. I'm open towards reasonable critics, tell me if you think something is missed and if something can be dangerous.

With respect Ral123

I would recomend giving some info on the synthesis and chemical properties along with the physical propeties ( just a bit ).

Ral123 - 1-10-2013 at 12:21

They(youtubers) wouldn't care about chemical properties that much, that's why I give energy density.
I'd be eaten alive if I give synthesis (and YT may take it down) but it may be for a good thing. Paradoxically, I did a very sloppy room temperature synthesis for the burn test in the video and it's still quite resilient. Doesn't seem so far as super sensitive stuff.

Don't worry about it getting pulled down there are many sythesis videos, however I'll leav this up to you.
I think that you should also detonate it inside a sealed metal can. (From a safe Distance).

If I explain to myself why my warm made AP is so insensitive, I may consider to post some procedure.
AP's job is not to be in metal cans, pipes, jars warped with wire and other, but rather to DDT and achieve good velocity down a case, in the end of witch, a charge of let's say MHN takes it.

ok.
i liked the video and would give it a thumbs up if i had a youtube account.

Ral123 - 2-10-2013 at 08:06

Thanks for the opinion. Now I have a bunch of AP left I wonder if it would be nice to make AP vs TNP(old clip) test.

bismuthate - 2-10-2013 at 09:19

That would be nice. be sure to have a sensitivity comparison.

I found the vid informative, thanks!

Oh my god, this is your youtube channel ?!?! I am your fan and enjoyed watching different burn and explosions you made ! well done !

Fantasma4500 - 5-10-2013 at 04:34

actually i do recall a french guy who made AP.. he made both TATP and DATP (yes.. DATP...)
it showed worse properties in all aspects, and was prepared above 5*C
