I am a retired Army Combat Medic, Baghdad Class of 2004. I love your videos. As a Medic, I was attached to our Heavy Mortar Platoon, 120mm. One thing that was taught to us medics, is how a shock wave from an explosion could and would, depending on how close you were to the detonation, cause internal injuries, such as rupturing internal organs. So just because externally, the patient may not seem that bad, well, looks can be misleading.
A way I like to describe being hit by a shockwave is to slap water as hard as you can with your hand. Now times that by 100 and imagine it hitting your whole body with shrapnel.
Navy Corpsman here and your right, the concussion wave can cause horrible injuries. The affect on the lungs can literally burst blood vessels causing drowning and you may never see an obvious injury.
They sat the watermelon on top of a heavy liquid like material. Im guessing that binary explosive is working to push up as well as down except the explosion can move thru what’s in it but not underneath. That is amazing tho. I do little things like this with my son and firecrackers
@@danamullins2723 That is not a shaped charge. It was directed into the table by the mass of the melon confining the blast towards the bottom. Google it.
Hey guys, an idea! You should put a EN ISO 12312-2 filter on the camera. That's used on telescopes to observe the surface of the Sun. This should help you recording the explosions fine-detailed but without lowering the resolution.🤘🏼
@@WCM1945 I think you're probably right. Filtering most of the light or using a set of Rapatronic cameras (the type they used to photograph nuclear weapon fireballs in the first few milliseconds) would get around the brightness problem but the inner parts of the explosion would still be obscured. Flash x-ray cameras can image inside explosions and were used to verify the implosion mechanisms of nukes, but I can't imagine it would be easy to get access to one of those.
I love this channel so so much. One of the few rare gems on the internets. This footage was just unreal. I wonder if this footage is beneficial to Ironclad to fine-tune their product haha. We also need a slo-mo guys, BHS, Kentucky Ballistics, Demo Ranch, GY6 vids, Full Mag to form the ultimate ultra mega super collab to end all collabs to get all their collective equipment to catch some epic magical footage at every sorts of angles.
@@watcheater9229 Oh I was wondering if the reaction pattern, which can be somewhat seen in some of the footage, helps them with their current composition, size of the avg reactants, etc. It obviously works very well; but I’m wondering if the footage validates their work, or they may find something interesting to improve upon it.
oh fuck my bad i didn't realize that's what you meant lol sorry for being aggressive as hell i just expected a specific type of people from the comments and assumed you were a dick or something
Wait until 2024 to witness the massive combined explosions of Trumperite and MAGArite. Behold the disintegration and vaporisation of the criminal lunatic Democrat Left.
I see on the 5lb that the bullet hit right near the bottom. I was wondering if the blast itself would have looked different or you hit it in the middle or the top? Great job guys, keep it up.
I would love to see camera angles from behind the dummy. Put up some bulletproof glass in front of the camera to keep it safe and do the same thing. I bet it would be a lot of useful information about the behavior of the target after the blast. Keep up the good work!
@@TheAbyssalStorm I actually watch wendover productions, real life lore, and brick immortar but I'll have to check them out since I'd never heard of them
Seeing you guys blow up the miniature house reminded me of the various high detail miniatures (or 'bigatures', in some cases) that movies would use for destructive practical effects shots! If you guys were able to partner with a miniatures building channel who would be willing to build something to be destroyed/blown up in slow motion, that would be amazing!!
again some amazing footage! Ive used your video's in some of my lessons as visual material and i can say the guys love it. maybe an idea for future content : shaped charges and EFP? I would love to see a shaped charge on rhm in slowmotion 😮
i think im most curious about the flame front propegration through binary explosives, maybe try some different lenght and thickness of binary lines and see if you can see a proper flame front on 5 pounds laid out in a 3-6 feet line
I tend to agree with the lighting comment. I think you need to get some absurd stage lighting on a generator to nail the exposure. Or maybe flash bulbs (which die in the course of operation) so that you can put them close enough to be useful. What you're doing is awesome, but clearly you're aware and frustrated by the exposure and dynamic range being insufficient to show it beginning to end. Does anyone make a mirroring array so that one lens could feed two bodies? Go super dark and high speed to catch the initial blast and then transition to the footage from the lower frame rate with longer exposure.
How about showing the difference between types of containers for the explosive? Put some in a steel box or similar and see how it changes the effect of the blast.
3:06 man this shot is just so unique. People don’t usually bother to do this because it makes everything else too dark. But this allows you to directly compare the appearance of a conventional explosive detonation and nuclear detonations, and really get an appreciation for the scales at play
You can set off tannerite with a bottle rocket. Drill a hole about 1/4 inch in diameter in the lid, remove stick from bottle rocket, shove the bottle rocket down into the jar through the hole in the lid. Light the fuse and throw, or run away. Fireworks use flash powder to explode, which is more powerful and faster than gun powder, and it's just fast enough to set off tannerite.
Since that slower explosive pushes pretty well. How about smaller charges launching stuff like metal trash cans. Or 55 gallon drums are cheap. A guy near me sells them for $8. You may need some nonel or regular caps for ignition. You could bury the charge part way if you need to slow it more. Or, bury a half drum full of gas-diesel mix. Put 5 pounds under in the middle.
Amazing video guys!! You should make a plexiglass bath tub and fill it full of water, then shoot one of those 5lb containers submerged 3/4 under water with a torso in the tub as well lol. It would be an awesome demonstration of the effects water has on explosives!
Fan-freaking-tastic!!! I hate to be that guy, but what can be done to see the damage to the torso without it being engulfed by the blast? Is it even possible? Love your channel!!!
Unfortunately just not really possible when dealing with explosives large enough to actually do damage. We could move the torso further away, but then it just won't damage it very much. It'll just jiggle and maybe get a few cuts.
@@BallisticHighSpeed I was going to say you could use a shock tube and link to a video on YT of shock tubes. There doesn't seem to be any good ones though, so you could do something on that
8:20 it is the shockwave moving through the melon and it is faster than in the air because the melon is mostly water. shockwaves move way faster in water.
Also less lethal stuff would be cool and it’s slow velocity so the detail would be great ltl bravo 150 is a great little gun I hate but as but why not test that too
This is awesome. It would be really great if you could measure the temperature near the blast zone like at the ballistic dummy. Keep up the good work. Love it.
I like using binary explosives to hydroform copper plates over raised lettering stick the binary on top of a water source that is on top of a copper sheet on top of whatever design you want and wallah hydroforming with binary
Crazy small scale version of a Mach-stem shockwave! Beginning @ 1:52 The incident wave of the primary blast wave meets with the reflective shockwave off the platform surface. The Y-wave forms just as it does in a nuclear air blast. You should make little pressure sensors to measure over pressure changes.
At 1:38, yes it's there. Good eye. They could try tests at differing heights above the table to see if they can make a better one. Anything getting hit by it would see double the blast overpressure.
I hate to be the wet blanket...but... Binary explosives are legal to buy and use without an explosives license for NON commercial use only. What does that mean? It could wasily be interpreted to me "you can't make money with it" as the end user. ATF might say it's just fine today but in a week, month or year arrest you. Be careful.
I work with ultrafast lasers in a lab and am very interested in extreme timescales and kinematics. I have an idea that I’d like to relay to #ballisticHigh-speed (second attempt #ballistichighspeed) but don’t know how. Does anyone know how to send a message to these guys?
Just a thought, I believe the ballistic gel is permeable enough to light. So you guys were speculating about what happens to the brain inside the skull when shockwave impacts. Insert a powerful LED light into the brain. With some experimental exposure testing, the internal dynamics should show up nice in high speed.
11:22 you should be able to work out the G force of the acceleration of the head. 15,000fps it looks really slow, in reality probably more like being hit by a train. And you should be able to calculate the PSI overpressure and check that against the lethality.
Getting a couple good sized flat mirrors will help with the lighting for high-speed in the outdoor situation and possibly bring more detail out of the dark. Cheap, and the sun does all the work needed to provide the extra lighting. Just realize that can heat things up a bit once you go past about two of 'em. And those can be staged at a somewhat safe range as long as there's line-of-sight.

At 2:14, you’ve effectively got quite a nice streak camera image. Because the explosion all happened while the (non-high-speed) camera frame was being read, you’ve got a timeline from the top of the frame to the bottom of the explosion. This means (if you know the speed at which the frame is read) you can work out the duration and propagation speed of the explosion. (Of course as you were also filming this with the other camera at 400k fps you can do all that stuff more easily from that footage, but it’s a nice illustration of how more basic equipment can be used in research, depending on what you want to know.)
For videos like this have you guys considered using high pressure burst discs like what Mythbusters used back in the day? It can show what will happen to ear drums, eyes, lungs, and other sensitive parts of uh... living things.
08:29 Looks like the reflection of the flames coming off of the shockwave....Or the air incinerating from the friction of rapid displacement. Wow. Just, wow. SCIENCE!!
I like to see black Potter VS magnesium pyrotex of known as exporting targets and pipes metal and P PC I think we should see which one is more explosive. This stuff is bad a** black powder VS b***** powder.
Also would love to see if you can make shape charges out of them? If you get a metal cone, fill it and place it over a steel door lock. Will it blast the lock out or just blow the metal cone off the door. Thanks! Love your videos, Awesome work!
Ordinance Lab tested binary shaped charges and they didn't do much of anything. There's a lot of wasted space binary so it's not very energy dense to begin with and they are typically a low order detonation because the ratios of the products in them are tailored for increased sensitivity so they can be set off with a projectile rather than being optimized for performance.
For me, most interesting part, was how explosion looked in watermelon. Initial explosion went laterally, and downwards, acting like shape charge. I know it's not your thing, but I'd like to know pressure difference between top and sides of binary in watermelon. Great vid. Thanks.
Water tamping is a POWERFUL tool. I had a tree that broke in a storm and fell into the top of another tree while still having a lot of holding wood to the trunk. True "hazard tree" due to all the factors involved. I used just 1lb of binary rolled in a quart freezer bag with a gallon freezer bag of water placedon top of it. That went into the v shaped crack of the fractured tree. 1 measly lb was enough to do it, and the focused nature threw chunks of tree 50+ yards into 2 major directions (perpendicular to the binary "sausage")
Awesome video guys.. Need to do a COLLABORATION with Kentucky Ballistics. Elephant guns and his 4 bore would be epic!! Stay safe and God Bless you guys..
So this is what 5 pounds of ammonium nitrate looks like exploding. If you want to see what 6 MILLION pounds of ammonium nitrate exploding looks like, search for Beirut 2020 Explosion.
How about a 2” dia. hollow lead ball, placed INSIDE a 2# can of IronClad? Would it crush the lead ball? Next, try a subcritical chunk of U-235. And stand WAY back.
The reason the skull wasn't fractured is because it was free to displace backwards immediately. The force of the blast, however, given the rate of rearward displacement, would likely have broken the cervical spine. So, twixt TBI and cervical damage,... E Nominie Patria...
biggest ive ever done was 4 LBs from about 20 yards...... inside a refrigerator it was like -10F, windy AF..... we kept missing.... so we got closer and closer in my old 86 pont 6000 with the 1 window down . when she touched off..... that blast wave came into the car and ROCKED us only thing left of the fridge was the compressor . the big door fell off on the way to the site..... so we put it ontop it got blasted 2 or 3 hills over
Shot a bunch of this stuff. Put it in countless things. ( old TVs, microwaves) Everything around a binary explosive becomes shrapnel even if it is not contained. It is absolutely paramount for folks to be behind cover when experimenting with this stuff. It’s fun as hell, but can kill you real fast if you don’t take steps to be safe with it. Years ago, I put 2lbs in a microwave and put a bunch of empty 556 cases in the microwave with it. Shot it on a path out in the woods surrounded by laurels. Small limbs from the laurels were cleanly severed in every direction for 15 feet. Parts of the microwave and brass was found 60+ feet away.
Loved the house explosion. How about a simulated small town ala 1940's A-Bomb tests for another time? Or the atoll tests with the scrap fleet? Are you guys familiar with the Thunderbirds marionette TV series? Lots of trick explosions.
Brightness depends on the temperature of the gas products, and it goes as the 4th power (though a lot is in IR, and UV if it's welder hot). Anyway I got 4000K for tannerite, and 13000K for C4, so C4 is about 100 times brighter.

Thank you guys. I've seen people underestimate the pressure of binaries. This brings a better understanding of what can happen.

I used just 1lb of binary rolled in a quart freezer bag with a gallon freezer bag of water placedon top of it. That went into the v shaped crack of the fractured tree.
1 measly lb was enough to do it, and the focused nature threw chunks of tree 50+ yards into 2 major directions (perpendicular to the binary "sausage")
Yeah now I'm going to need a lot of amonium nitrate for my science project 🤨 after watching this ✌🏻
Awesome video guys.. Need to do a COLLABORATION with Kentucky Ballistics. Elephant guns and his 4 bore would be epic!! Stay safe and God Bless you guys..
So this is what 5 pounds of ammonium nitrate looks like exploding. If you want to see what 6 MILLION pounds of ammonium nitrate exploding looks like, search for Beirut 2020 Explosion.
How about a 2” dia. hollow lead ball, placed INSIDE a 2# can of IronClad? Would it crush the lead ball? Next, try a subcritical chunk of U-235. And stand WAY back.
The reason the skull wasn't fractured is because it was free to displace backwards immediately. The force of the blast, however, given the rate of rearward displacement, would likely have broken the cervical spine. So, twixt TBI and cervical damage,... E Nominie Patria...
biggest ive ever done was 4 LBs from about 20 yards...... inside a refrigerator
it was like -10F, windy AF..... we kept missing.... so we got closer and closer in my old 86 pont 6000 with the 1 window down
.
when she touched off..... that blast wave came into the car and ROCKED us
only thing left of the fridge was the compressor
.
the big door fell off on the way to the site..... so we put it ontop
it got blasted 2 or 3 hills over
Shot a bunch of this stuff. Put it in countless things. ( old TVs, microwaves)
Everything around a binary explosive becomes shrapnel even if it is not contained.
It is absolutely paramount for folks to be behind cover when experimenting with this stuff. It’s fun as hell, but can kill you real fast if you don’t take steps to be safe with it.
Years ago, I put 2lbs in a microwave and put a bunch of empty 556 cases in the microwave with it. Shot it on a path out in the woods surrounded by laurels. Small limbs from the laurels were cleanly severed in every direction for 15 feet. Parts of the microwave and brass was found 60+ feet away.
as i was seeing the little house blow up all i had go through my head was (THROUGH WINDOOOOOWS THROUGH THE WALLS.....)😂
Loved the house explosion. How about a simulated small town ala 1940's A-Bomb tests for another time? Or the atoll tests with the scrap fleet?
Are you guys familiar with the Thunderbirds marionette TV series? Lots of trick explosions.
How about an empty plastic drum vs a metal drum? And then do it again with both of them filled with water? Or see just how high they can go?
FLAMETHROWER! now That would be an Awesomely beautiful shots.
Bullets of different caliber go through balloons full of water.
Brightness depends on the temperature of the gas products, and it goes as the 4th power (though a lot is in IR, and UV if it's welder hot). Anyway I got 4000K for tannerite, and 13000K for C4, so C4 is about 100 times brighter.
