Tannerite vs Beaver dam

[teul2]

Yea, I am not seeing the point of the 2 liter of gas on top. What was the point there?

Where can one buy aluminum powder?

Google it. Doesn't look to complicated. Apparently you can do "scientific" things with it...

I don't understand the fuel without a road flare going (ignition source). It just vaporizes the gasoline and no pyrotechnics. Everybody loves a fuel air explosion. Flour and ethylene-glycol (antifreeze) added a-la-carte is even mo fun.

Rookies.

gasoline can be ignited by compression...this is why racecar motors have to use race gas...its higher octane so it doesn't ignite under the higher compression of the pistons. even a little 1/2lb tannerite target will ignite a jug of gas.

how does the flour and anti-freeze work?

has this thread attracted the feds yet???

Sometimes a bennydabeaver dam can be a good thing!

video of flour and antifreeze please.

Guy on North Ms Guntrader orders and sells cans of aluminum powder. Don't think it is hard to get. Have not googled it because I figure I would end up on the list, but since I am probably on it, might look for it this afternoon.

Beer cans and a sander...

Gentlemen, start your engines at boomershoot.org, he's got some videos and some chemistry.

I don't have a youtube account nor would we record our adventures. Except for an old smoker launch that I did for the nephews, I may jack with youtube and upload it later, but only because the ducksouth community is so entertaining, even on a bad day.

Shane - I hear ya but it's not so much compression as it is expansion. Turning solid (Ammonium nitrate) into a gas, as well as turning liquid (gasoline) into a vapor. I did not see any flame/fireball in the posted video. However, your mileage may vary.

Flour is explosive, we've all heard of grain explosions but really it just provides a big white "smoke" poof, real detonation can be problematic. Too much science going on with that.

Antifreeze - can be handled/mixed/meddled with a few ways, see boomershoot. But if you've ever seen a head gasket blow, the white smoke is antifreeze.

I have heard of people taping a baggie of flour and a baggie of antifreeze to a tannerite target. Size of the "baggies" would be in relation to size of "target". Nothing I would ever do, oh heck no. Couple of aluminum screw cap beer pints 1/2 full of gas, taped up too, (on the backside). Road flare. Again, do not try this at home just crazy interweb talk.

My homemade amateur very first yougoober upload. Just a basic kaboom with flour, nothing else. Certainly not 20lbs or whatever the original beaver dam killa was using.

You use det cord or cap ? Next time just get someone with kinepac to take care of it. That little dam would have only taken one little thing of kinepac.

could be...I don't know the exact science behind whats going on but I do know that a 5.56 tracer will NOT ignite a jug a gasoline but a 1/2lb tannerite target sitting next to it will...two valuable lessons learned that day!!!!
