The Tannerite Pipeline Fail

Published on February 11, 2024
Duration: 1:00

This video demonstrates an experimental attempt to create and detonate an underground Tannerite pipeline. The initial attempt failed due to the pipeline being buried too deep or insufficient impact velocity. A subsequent, consolidated detonation proved successful. The demonstration highlights the importance of understanding explosive requirements and maintaining safe practices, as emphasized by the channel's high-profile firearms expert.

Quick Summary

The Tannerite pipeline failed due to being buried too deep or insufficient impact velocity from the rifle rounds, which must exceed 2000+ fps to initiate a chain reaction. For successful detonation, ensure proper burial depth and adequate projectile velocity, or consolidate the Tannerite into a single container.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did the Tannerite pipeline fail to detonate initially?

The Tannerite pipeline likely failed because it was buried too deep, preventing the rifle rounds from generating enough shockwave to bridge the gaps between the pellets and initiate a chain reaction. Insufficient impact velocity from the rifle rounds is also a contributing factor.

What is the required velocity for Tannerite to detonate effectively?

Tannerite binary explosive typically requires an impact velocity of 2000+ feet per second (fps) to reliably initiate a chain reaction. This velocity is crucial for bridging the gaps between the explosive pellets.

How can a Tannerite pipeline be detonated successfully?

For successful detonation, ensure the Tannerite is not buried too deep and that the projectile achieves the necessary velocity (2000+ fps) to initiate the explosive. Consolidating the Tannerite into a single container can also increase the likelihood of a successful detonation.

What safety precautions are necessary when working with Tannerite?

When working with Tannerite, always wear appropriate hearing and eye protection. Maintain a safe distance from the detonation zone, and ensure you have proper training and understand the risks involved. This material should only be used by experienced professionals in controlled environments.
