[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Mega tannerite - container size? (Page 2 of 2)
|
Quoted: I'd like to see someone shoot that. Via remote video. Quoted: Quoted: I thought we were talking about "container" size https://www.conexdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/40FT-High-Cube-Cargo-Worthy-Shipping-Container-1.png Well... as the story goes there was a cargo container full of C-4 at a supply depot in Vietnam that was placed by the CIA. The CIA did not see fit to share the information. One day when there was incoming mortar barrage, the container took a direct hit. It detonated and created a bit of a mushroom cloud. It was big enough that it was thought a tactical nuke had detonated! |

Quoted: There was a nice quiet spring day when the WAHTF filled a 58 at tub, parked it atop a hill and a skinny little 18 year old girl launched on her third round, offhand, with an iron-sighted Mosin at 168 yds. Twas epic. Quoted: There is video out there somewhere i believe Quoted: Yes it was. Those were the days   @bobbitybobbity @cavvet @el_hombre  SEPT LCR 2006 |

Quoted: Lets say I want to combine 5 of the 2pound packs into a single container? accounting for the 5 packs of ammonium and the 5 of aluminum, what volume am I looking at? Not much. We got chosen to 30 lbs in a plastic cat litter box (Tidy cat) It vaporized and left a pleasing crater. (We wrapped it in packing tape) |

Ah, yes. The good old days. That was early on, when Mac had his war with that rock. That was about the fourth attempt and the grand finale for it. I'll see if I can find one of the videos with Jet blasting her Mosin. I believe you can see the shockwave as well.

Quoted: I still tell that story from time to time. If you are going to break the law might as well go big. Quoted: Quoted: I doubt anyone will ever top the dump truck of tannerite set off with a 50bmg a little too close to the Grand Prairie nuclear reactor. There were many chuckles and harrumphs that day I can tell you I still tell that story from time to time. If you are going to break the law might as well go big.  CNN Tannerite Video of MN Dump Truck Explosion  That put a big ol smile on my face.

Happy New Year everyone! Well the math turned out terribly bad, the jug wasnt near large enough, fortunately I did have a nearly empty protien jug (5lb jug of Optimum Nutrution Gold Standard Whey) and 13lbs filled it up nearly completely, packed the rest of the space with some old brown sugar. It was a 150yd shot with a 7mmPRC, this thing has a muzzle break and virtually zero kick. Not really much to the video but heres a compilation video of different timings: •At 4sec rifle report regular speed •At 12sec Tannerite flash at 1/32 speed •At 22sec celebration in background 13 pounds of tannerite Like I said, not much to the video, but it was an incredible BOOM. echoes and reverb for nearly 10 sec. Someone who stayed home (400y from the blast) said the entire house shook. We're going to do a homer bucket (5gal = 38lbs) for July 4th. Amazingly, this morning when I went to look at the blast area in the light, I jumped 2 deer right at the spot we made the shot from; didn't expect them back so soon. |

And the math was waaaaaay off. The data I found said 1.8grams per cc. I guess the data out there is wrong, by exactly a factor of 2x, intentionally. Since we didnt even use the regular containers I just filled a 2lb one (not the larger mixing container, but the smaller one the tannerite comes in) with water and its exactly 1 liter, which works out to whatever it is that they call "2 pounds of tannerite" is actually 0.907 g/cm³. Essentially, every 2 pounds of tannerite is 1 liter or 0.2641 gallons. So in minecraft, a 5 homer bucket would be 37.8 pounds of tannerite. In minecraft. |

Jet and the mosin was sept 2007 the mix (not my photo)  looks like it was never posted (probably did not have explicit approval) theres the bin and the Mosin muzzle blast shooter redacted

Quoted: I remember seeing a video where somebody filled a 2 liter bottle and hung it inside of an old car. It demolished the car. I would imagine anything more than that will have a lot of waste. We have enough explosives people here I'm sure someone knows. Do you think there is just excess that won't go off? |
