I see a problem with the medical delivery device in particular. It basically generates a jet injection injury, and similar devices that have used other techniques such as high pressure pumps have been proven to cause splashback of bodily fluids onto the nozzle, so the next patient might get AIDS along with the intended injection. We already have massive economies of scale that make safety needles dirt cheap (where a single use needle automatically retracts or a cover is deployed once used, which prevents both intentional reuse and accidental needlestick injuries).
The automotive use reminds me of the Cartridge Activated Devices we use on aircraft. For instance, the cargo hoist on an MH-60S has a CAD to cut the cargo hook to keep the aircraft from going down in case the cargo hook becomes entangled. As for explosive-driven injections, anyone who's been through boot camp is familiar with the idea.
Really interesting documentary. The part about the explosives being used in car technology for safety kinda blew my mind. The precision there is amazing.
I work as a machinist and a couple of years ago we made a lot of parts for a company located in Israel. This company was producing airbags and the machine we made parts for was dosing out the small amounts of explosives that is used in those airbags. We were told that the airbag factory in Israel where this machine was operating was under VERY strict rules to always be close to/facing outwards toward the Mediterranean sea. Why? Because accidents were happening and a close proximity to water was deemed necessary =)
I been searching "explosives" for 20 years now, sometimes searching 20 key words a day. Sometimes for 6 hours a day, including lunch breaks. I might be on a list i guess
Car Airbags. I have heard of cases in the USA where Men that smoke a tobacco pipe while driving have had it driven through their mouth and out the back of their head by airbags killing them instantly. I’m surprised we haven’t seen this in a Hollywood Movie yet that I know of.

Shout out to my alma mater, Missouri University of Science and Technology (the people with the green shirts as St. Patrick is the patron saint of engineers and I have no idea why). Anyway, it was formerly Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy, so a natural progression there. My first introduction to how explosive energy works in relation to rock formations was in 1970 with the Geophysics Department. We have come a long, long way. BTW, if they didn't say it loud enough, "Don't try this at home." LOL!

16:01 This reminds me of what the TV show "60 Minutes" did. They wanted to show how Ford "Pinto" gas tanks would explode when the car experienced a rear-end collision. But they just couldn't get those Pinto tanks to explode! HOW could they convince people that those cars were evil, nasty, unsafe death-traps, when, uh...they weren't? Of course! Attach some dynamite & a detonator to the tank, and then, "BOOM!" when the car was hit from behind!
@@andyf4292 Not just 80s movies & TV shows. In almost every chase scene, crashing cars blew up, no matter when the show was produced. In the 1980s, i hung out with a bunch of people who were machinegun dealers & collectors. One of the fellows owned a junk yard, and he'd periodically haul out a junked car for our shooting pleasure.

Maybe you should put your so-called dust sprinklers upwind or MUCH closer so they might have ANY chance of affecting the amount of dust. As is looks like an awful lot of expense for absolutely no effect
As far as I know, the Chinese didn't use explosives for war but instead used them to ward off evil spirits. I also read they were used in celebrations.
Many middle eastern and european cultures believed in burning gunpowder or the shooting of a firearm in a room/house to clear evil spirits/bad fortune. Particularly in the case of a newly built house or newly acquired home.💨
The Chinese invented black powder, but it is not an explosive, because its burning speed does not exceed the speed of sound, which is precisely the determining factor in the classification of substances into explosive and propellant. In addition, the Chinese did not perceive gunpowder at all as something capable of causing explosions, and used it exclusively in rockets and fireworks. It was the Europeans who came up with the idea of placing gunpowder in a closed volume in the form of mines under walls. Most likely, this was due to the experience of careless handling of gunpowder in warehouses.
I think you are getting mixed with terminology. Gunpowder is an explosive, but the form of a low explosive which ignites through deflagration. Whereas a high explosive (such RDX etc) is detonated by a shockwace travelling faster than the speed of sound. Chemically they are very different but both types can sometimes be either depending on how they are either ignited or detonated. Equally, the bases of nearly all fireworks are from chinese military application, the song dynasty was using gunpowder in all sorts of military weapons well before europe.
@@jonelectronics510 Where I live it's not an explosive according to classification government standard gives. I think this approach (based on the ability to energetic reactions at speeds faster than the speed of sound) is logical. Otherwise, pressurized gases will have to be classified as explosive substances too. Despite that I can understand the logic which the USA standardization system has. I think this is more convenient from the law's POV.
Explosives can bring about great feats in human intelligence in mere microseconds. I learned this as a 10 year old when I held onto a lit firecracker a bit too long. No real damage but hurt like hell. In a millisecond I went from uninformed to NEVER FORGET to NOT do that again.
In basic training, in the US military, they had air pressure injectors. We were told not to move during injection, otherwise there would be a cut, bleeding and a permanet scar.
This video would have better titled something like "Different uses of explosives" rather than the present title ("How Different Explosives Work") which suggests focusing on their inner structure or chemistry. I can understand their use of a British narrator who pronounces _aluminum_ so Britishly which sounds so odd to my ears!
The narrator was likely pronouncing the word _aluminium_ and not the word _aluminum._ The spelling and pronunciation is _aluminium_ outside North America. AFAIK, the British chemist Sir Humphry Davy first discovered and named the element "aluminum" about 1807. However, he was also naming elements potassium and sodium, and was encouraged to change the name to follow the same '-ium' pattern. Hence, about 1812, he named it "aluminium". AFAICT, North America used both spellings until the early 20th century when the USA opted for _aluminum,_ while other countries stayed with, or adopted, _aluminium._ Both spellings (and hence pronunciations) are accepted by chemists. Summary: the narrator is not mispronouncing the word you think she is saying, but correctly pronouncing the name used outside North America. Best Wishes. ☮
It's crazy how easy it is to make explosives.......black powder and nitroglycerin are easily made with store bought supplies that are not government regulated in any way
I feel like they always look like that. Just perfect. "Hey Jim what do you do?" "I polish shaped charges that slice entire groups of people in half, and can penetrate a tank at up to 50m. Gets confused as a laser weapon."
@@dianapennepacker6854 Hollow/shaped charge has short stand off distance before metal jet dissipates/spreads. (hence "cage armour") It's explosively formed penetrator which has stand off range by using explosion to shape metal plate into slug shooting it at speed of 1-2 km/s.
A park has more value than an uninhabitable old building. I agree there is a need for more housing in cities, but older buildings will always need demolition. The new land use for the lot should be decided based on the local need
Hey, Spark! If you rename this video "Different Usage of Explosives" it would be more accurate. Then you can then create a new video focusing of the chemical composition and how different explosives work, which seems like many would want.

Several folk have asked 'Has viewing this put me on a Watchlist. And several replies say 'Should be OK in a Democracy'. Well ........ My favourite Parable is the tale of the Medieval King: 'Merlin', he said, 'You are my most trusted advisor - The ONLY person I know will speak truth to me. And, well, I KNOW I'm Paranoid ,,,,,, but ,,,, *Speak honestly - Am I Paranoid ENOUGH'* ?
Its reckoned much of the stone blocks for the Egyptian Pyramids was quarried by drilling a hole, ramming a piece of dry, very tightly fitting wood in then watering it. I suspect Stonehenge and other ancient monuments might have done the same?
Dumbed down for the average. I've helped out in quarry blasting, but we mainly ran my mates fireworks and special effects company together. Understanding pressure waves, shock waves and boundries, it's extremely complex unless you've been taught and shown it. I loved our special effects work. Always something new and challenging. I also did custom fabrication work for Warner Bros on Batmobiles, the Flintstones car, and a few rides. Love a challenge, and love to work out the risk assessments. Done well, the danger is very limited. But, always ALWAYS have WAY too much insurance 😅😊
"So called hollow charge"... what? "So called" is a sarcastic prefix to indicate that you dont believe what is being said after it... the BBC use it a lot!
I don't hear it that way. It's a technical term, and the speakers are German, so it's being translated. In English, I'd call it a "shaped charge" because that's a generic name for that technology. I assume the translation is accurate, but "hollow charge" is a less familiar term. Best Wishes. ☮
That's not the point. They're talking about using explosives to produce ultra-pure silicon carbide for aerospace applications. And we still use explosives to separate rocket stages.
Thats a fine solid concrete apartment building. With the housing prices going up, I dont like the idea of demolishing it. Im sure there is space to build the new fancy buildings other places.
Wanted more detail. How big were the desired rocks vs the actual rocks in the quarry? What angles were the buildings supposed to fall at and when vs what happened. I wanted to evaluate the results rather than counting on your rosy commentary. It was nice but I have no idea if it worked as expected. The building did not work as expected, they got lucky.
Dear INTERPOL, Now that this video has shown the storage location of High-Explosives in Europe and that it's guarded not by the vault door but the $5 padlock on the box where the door handle is, you "Might" want to think about either upgrading the security or moving the location. Seriously, I LOVE an informative video as much as the next guy, but WHY give people like ISIS/ISIL this kind of info?
EV fires start because of the short-circuit INSIDE the batteries. So cutting of power to the rest of the car is useless. Yous should invent something to eject burning batteries from the car.
6.13 Black Powder NEVER detonates, it deflagrates. Get your nomenclature sorted please before coming over 'all technical' - and it's a shaped charge not a hollow charge......
Its the one with the car which explodes at the end Only - Noting the green screen background, it won't look like its doing that in an industrial unit yard {I admit, yep, I'm curious to see how it works out 'on screen' too]
Linear shaped charges. Its the combined effect of heat and pressure that cuts structural members, not the "strength" of the material at room temperature. For example, copper (a VERY soft metal) is used to punch through armored steel (a VERY hard metal) in HEAT warheads. Also, titanium is well away from being the strongest metal known to Man.
The voiceover wasn't credited - it sounded rather like Davina McCall but I wonder if it was AI? The pronunciation of Gran-Eyet rather than Gran-It was a bit strange..
Explosives can do so much mo! Take off to the stahs. Our wold would be different. I replayed it to confirm there's just a bit of an "r" in "our". But apparently nowhere else.

Well ........ My favourite Parable is the tale of the Medieval King:
'Merlin', he said, 'You are my most trusted advisor - The ONLY person I know will speak truth to me.
And, well, I KNOW I'm Paranoid ,,,,,, but ,,,, *Speak honestly - Am I Paranoid ENOUGH'* ?
Mining can be done with water and liquid nitrogen too
Its reckoned much of the stone blocks for the Egyptian Pyramids was quarried by drilling a hole, ramming a piece of dry, very tightly fitting wood in then watering it.
I suspect Stonehenge and other ancient monuments might have done the same?
@@Farweasel thanks that is a great option too
What a blast
This was pure 'made for TV' fluff with zero science.
Dumbed down for the average. I've helped out in quarry blasting, but we mainly ran my mates fireworks and special effects company together. Understanding pressure waves, shock waves and boundries, it's extremely complex unless you've been taught and shown it. I loved our special effects work. Always something new and challenging. I also did custom fabrication work for Warner Bros on Batmobiles, the Flintstones car, and a few rides. Love a challenge, and love to work out the risk assessments. Done well, the danger is very limited. But, always ALWAYS have WAY too much insurance 😅😊
Bullshit😂
"So called hollow charge"... what? "So called" is a sarcastic prefix to indicate that you dont believe what is being said after it... the BBC use it a lot!
NO SO CALLED IS USED WHEN CANT REMEMBER......R U DUMB?
I don't hear it that way. It's a technical term, and the speakers are German, so it's being translated. In English, I'd call it a "shaped charge" because that's a generic name for that technology. I assume the translation is accurate, but "hollow charge" is a less familiar term.
Best Wishes. ☮
The “science” is not always appreciated; I made one about explosives and had to remove it.
Spectacular
@ 49:00 CDI, hold my beer will show you how it's done.
0:22 - Ughhh?... Rocket engines are not "explosions/explosives", instead they use deflagration to provide their thrust.
That's not the point. They're talking about using explosives to produce ultra-pure silicon carbide for aerospace applications.
And we still use explosives to separate rocket stages.
20:02 "Just checking the walls"
Thats a fine solid concrete apartment building. With the housing prices going up, I dont like the idea of demolishing it. Im sure there is space to build the new fancy buildings other places.
A green park? For the homeless?
29:36 It's exactly the wrong way round. Savage...
Kinda curious if anyone knows what movie that bmw got blown up for
Fantastic video, but title should be adapted!
Demolition expert handing his company to someone scared of heights.
🤦♂🤣
the water fountain didn't do its job in containing the dust
I WANNA BE A BLASTING ENGINEER WHEN I GROW UP!!!
Stay out of any crime, be good with Math 💯😎
"Great, here's a hammer drill. I'll need 500 1/4"x20" deep boreholes by the end of your shift."
Wanted more detail. How big were the desired rocks vs the actual rocks in the quarry? What angles were the buildings supposed to fall at and when vs what happened. I wanted to evaluate the results rather than counting on your rosy commentary. It was nice but I have no idea if it worked as expected. The building did not work as expected, they got lucky.
They would say it worked exactly as planned.
1:30 "...Martin Hopfer will carry out this task...": Does he know why WTC7 fell down?
the sexual tension between Martin and Ulrike is very explosive!
Nearly as good as the "Twins". But I guess more planning went into that controlled demolition.
i do love kah pahks.
Dear INTERPOL,
Now that this video has shown the storage location of High-Explosives in Europe and that it's guarded not by the vault door but the $5 padlock on the box where the door handle is, you "Might" want to think about either upgrading the security or moving the location. Seriously, I LOVE an informative video as much as the next guy, but WHY give people like ISIS/ISIL this kind of info?
EV fires start because of the short-circuit INSIDE the batteries. So cutting of power to the rest of the car is useless. Yous should invent something to eject burning batteries from the car.
The Battery is heavier than the body shell
EJECT THE CAR 😋
@@babboon5764 "If we just blow up the entire battery, then there's no battery left that can catch fire. I'll take my Nobel Prize now."
LOL
The ironic thing being the Chines alchemist's where looking for something to extend life, when they found something that's very good at ending it.
The lithium is explosive by itself
So it can explote
Almost all of this was new to me, but the how of explosives wasn't there.
6.13 Black Powder NEVER detonates, it deflagrates. Get your nomenclature sorted please before coming over 'all technical' - and it's a shaped charge not a hollow charge......
0:22 they also take lives in Takata airbags. ;)
Or when people transform them into "car claymores" by covering them in plastic gemstones.
She's afraid of heights and he wants to turn a company over to her that demo's high rise buildings?
What is the top secret film theyre shooting? (Its mentioned a few times, the car is exploded at about 25:00)
Its the one with the car which explodes at the end
Only - Noting the green screen background, it won't look like its doing that in an industrial unit yard
{I admit, yep, I'm curious to see how it works out 'on screen' too]
Very interesting look on how explosives have developed in diversity for the good.
Gaz UK.
What would they use if they needed to blow up a structure made out of titanium
Linear shaped charges. Its the combined effect of heat and pressure that cuts structural members, not the "strength" of the material at room temperature. For example, copper (a VERY soft metal) is used to punch through armored steel (a VERY hard metal) in HEAT warheads.
Also, titanium is well away from being the strongest metal known to Man.
This SITE IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE TAKEN DOWN PERMANENTLY
The voiceover wasn't credited - it sounded rather like Davina McCall but I wonder if it was AI? The pronunciation of Gran-Eyet rather than Gran-It was a bit strange..
Great
Always making excuses for destruction....
Explosives can do so much mo! Take off to the stahs. Our wold would be different. I replayed it to confirm there's just a bit of an "r" in "our". But apparently nowhere else.
They still kill an destroy.
