Videos tagged with Low Explosives

This video from CajunBoyJake breaks down the science behind real explosions versus movie special effects. It explains the critical difference between high explosives (detonation, supersonic) and low explosives (deflagration, subsonic), noting that movies often use low explosives to create visually appealing fireballs. The speaker, demonstrating high authority, also briefly showcases the Olight Osight XR optic.

This video explores the science behind binary explosives, focusing on Tannerite. The creator attempts to detonate a van using this legal explosive, explaining the differences between high and low explosives and the mechanics of binary detonation. Despite an unexpected outcome where the van didn't fully explode as planned, the video provides a scientific explanation for the malfunction, emphasizing the importance of safety when handling such materials. It's presented as a learning experience, with an apology for not meeting expectations but encouraging viewers to subscribe for more firearm education and experiments.
