In preparation for the Easter weekend, we thought we'd test some alternative Easter Egg cracking methods to see which creates the best bite-sized pieces. For this, we used a Draco Sound Unit and some 1g per metre detcord on two separate Easter Eggs. While we couldn't eat the pieces after they had been explosively contaminated, both eggs broke into perfect chunks for Easter snacking. Leaving us ...

Cool 😊 does any body know about an european controlled demoiltion video using charges like that?
RIP.
That effing noise some call "music" was so loud one could not hear the blast itself...
FSK bridge
Really good video Ricky and a lot of good points. I'd be careful about confirmation bias though - e.g. how much aluminium would you need to make every car. Also bear in mind use case - electric cars are great for short journeys and charging overnight when there is excess power, and really how often do most people drive more than 100 miles in a day! The real scandal is all the efficiency gains getting 400bhp out of a 2-litre is all the sodding SUVs and 2 ton cars. I stick with my 2001 CLK - less impact running that round than scrapping it and buying anything new. Finally check out Harry's video at JCB with piston Hydrogen - that's the way to go. Great job as always!!
Plzz,what price this eqpment
Bless him 🙏 proper old gent .
Knock knock😂
Can I get the price of all MLVD charges pls my req sir
Where can I buy one lol
What a hero and a legend!!!!😢
I was always wondering that about the rebar after. Good to know that yes they do have a guy who's cutting.
I love the tiny bit of pic rail on top, i bet an aimpoint t2 or an acog would be just fine after the shot

Muy buen trabajo, me gustaría saber que explosivo tiene la carga despoletadora?
Good equpment
I am also BD.technicen in Pakistan City quetta I like u videos
Good tacnick
Good dacnolagy
Beautiful pieces of engineering. Absolutely love the work put out by Alford tech !
Really very clean, and nice cut. Good job! One question; why is more suitable using energetics based on nitroamines like rdx instead of nitroesters ? I know that nitroamines is the BEST choice for shaped charge, but my question is WHY. becouse for instance petn has more RE factor than rdx, so i don't understand It. Best regards in advance. Keep on cutting edge!!
Good Wark dan
Good technic
What would happen if you had another similar charge on the other side of the van that detonated at the same time?

It is from a Finnish company called Raikka, and it is their shock tube model Quick.

You spread a wack of those charges around one floor on the upper 3rd quarter of a skyscraper and the weight of the top 4th quarter will bring the whole thing down...wild!
So sad to see Sidney has passed. I had no idea. RIP friend. What a great man.
An awesome presentation
How often does this end up detonating the booster and main charge?
😳🫣🥴🤫
I think we shouldnt give people ideas like this.
PETN smells good, probably tastes good also??
No sound guys!
i find it a shame more of mr alfords life wasnt documented , truly a man from an age gone by when we had brilliant individuals who could think! i for one would have enjoyed an acquaintance or friendship with him. thanks for the videos
