Blow up 100L of liquid nitrogen! Maybe it would make nice cloud, maybe even some snowing?

You should do something with the massive pressures exerted by water to ice expansion. Apparently between 25,000 to 114,000 psi!!!

Well, crap. *dumps LN2 down the kitchen sink*

[@janronschke7525]

His smirk was the best as he threw the Dynamite up and caught it again: Yea dont try this at home^^

[@syntaxusdogmata3333]

Doesn't that belong back in the freezer?

[@fredygump5578]

You want to wrap your dynamite in plastic wrap, or maybe a tupperware container. Just in the drawer is no good; it will get dirty!

[@gfg_horseman7159]

I know I would like it if you spent just a little more time on the slow mo shots, though you think "nothing interesting" happened during the LN2 explosion of the dynamite, you forget that watching an explosion in slow mo is by itself interesting. The pressure waves and carnage created by the dynamite is why I came to watch, to see what would happen. You don't have to analyze it, but I would have liked to see more of the mono chrome footage, rather than breezing over it.

[@Me0fCourse]

I 100% agree with this.

[@Geoffr524]

This was so fun to watch, it was DA BOMB!!

[@Dazdigo]

Freezing makes dynamite more safe to transport. I remember hearing in grade school about a cart of dynamite being overturned and the driver found out that it didn't go off because it froze due to the cold weather.

[@superilu]

Do "red hot dynamite" next :-)

[@markfergerson2145]

Maybe not red hot as dynamite burns but get it good and warm and see if there's any difference.

[@Hoch134]

Would be interesting to put it into some molten metal and see how it explodes... however that would be extremely dangerous. So maybe don't try this at home either.

[@josephranker5716]

An idea, can you use the liquid nitrogen to freeze a wedge of water (soaked wood, wet rag) to split a rock/stone/concrete

[@rastislavzima]

Could you use "decibel-meter" to measure loudness difference between cold/normal explosive?

[@tz8785]

It would have to be a decibel meters fast enough to measure such a short noise.

[@donlitos]

@@tz8785 Wrong. Any sound from the blast waves will travel to the decibel meter at approximately 761.2 mph (1,225 km/h) at 59 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius) - slightly faster if warmer, slightly slower if colder - because gas molecules move slower or faster depending on ambient temperature of the medium though which they are traveling. The amplitude of the wave is what determines louder or quieter not speed or temperature. Sound intensity is measured in Watts per meters squared Zima you were right.

[@tz8785]

@@donlitos You are not even wrong - in the Paulian sense. In other words, you are missing my point entirely. To measure a short bang as the exploding stuff in the press produces, the sensor measuring the volume needs to measure a very brief peak. Hence the need for a fast (reacting) sensor like those for accurately measuring how loud guns are, normal decibel-meters are meant for completely different (less transient) sounds and might not give particularly accurate results. This is just about entirely unrelated to the speed of sound.

[@darikmatters8866]

The blasting cap side by side tells it all.. The warm cap has a distinct and visible shock wave and the frozen sample does not.. The speed of the reaction is affected. The frozen sample"s propagation doesn't even reach the speed of sound. It appears to be the same on the larger sample and the reaction looks incomplete based on the differences in the gas cloud but that could just be the lighting

[@HerbieHerbHerb]

“Nothing to see here.........at least it was loud” 🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨

[@seanmcerlean]

Hey you guys know how to have fun alright.Perfect channel, explodions mixed with heavy rock music in the videos. Kitos kitos

[@Paxmax]

There is something satisfying soul boosting about building things up... however, taking stuff apart really really fast surely makes my face light up!

[@markb3146]

this was another well worked out and executed YT video ... well done !

[@superskullmaster]

Would have been really interesting to see the dynamite explode while inside the dewar.

[@tippyc2]

I'm not surprised it blew up cold. I would expect a well engineered detonator to have enough margin in the activation energy to overcome the low temperature. I think the darker smoke indicates incomplete reaction of the explosive. Despite blowing up, it might be reacting slower or not achieving quite as high of temperature, so its not reacting all the chemical components and intermediate products.

[@sjvche7675]

I think the key is the speed of freezing, freezing weather will freeze it slowly allowing the nitro. to separate from the clay, and become unstable.

[@markfergerson2145]

This is solid science- I don't know of any "real" research into the behavior of explosives at extreme cold temperatures. I may have to find a way to work this into a science fiction story that cites the "pioneering scientific work" by you guys. Also, dynamite works best against solid things that don't want to move out of the way. Have you frozen it into a large block of ice? That would make a beautiful instant snowstorm!

[@enormhi]

Now we know what happens when you deep freeze dynamite, but what if you deep FRY dynamite?

You should blow the dynamite up when it is in the liquid nitrogen to make a huge cloud of smoke lol

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

7:20 - not a fair comparison the one on left was NG dynamite, the one on right was packaged emulsion.

[@justjoe942]

Thanks, ya'll, always entertaining.

[@andie_pants]

If there's one thing that BTP and Henri have taught me over the years, it's that modern dynamite looks delicious!

[@chrisjones367]

a good question before this might have been " will liquid nitrogen detonate TNT?"

[@beaubeaukitty5301]

How about setting it off while still in the Nitrogen Cooler. Though with shrapnel being involved you might want to place this rig in a concrete walled blast area

[@SeanBZA]

You would have to pay Air Liquide for a new dewar, because that one would be shrapnel pieces all over the area.

[@xenonram]

Or just use a Styrofoam or plastic cup or cooler. Why on earth would your first thought be to use the dewar?

[@beaubeaukitty5301]

@@xenonram the explosion submerged in a deep bath of nitrogen would make an incredible White cloud of Nitrogen! Though the next time they returned to air Liquide they might get a nitrogen chilled frosty reception. Due to their previous Dewar Destruction LoL.

[@lenoob2800]

The cold was sharp

[@Neutercane]

There seemed to be a lot more smoke and almost all of it white with the normal temperature explosion. I wonder why the supercooled dynamite made less, darker colored smoke?

[@tz8785]

Could you try shooting both regular and frozen dynamite with your air rifle? AFAIK frozen (original) dynamite is much more shock sensitive than dynamite at regular temperature.

[@jettsquirel9636]

Lauri would be a great high school science teacher.

[@AntonyScerri]

Was that Anni laughing hysterically after the cooled explosives :) enjoying making things disappear. Im surprised you dont loose any windows on the car you look quite close.

[@Beyondthepress]

That wasn't that loud. Once we exploded 5 kilos with tractor about 35 meters away and got broken windshield :D But car windows seems to be really sturdy against pressure waves, sometimes we open the doors if things are getting really loud

[@AntonyScerri]

Beyond the press it looks worse than it probably is and its not enclosed i guess. You have way too much fun, thanks for keeping us entertained (and educated)...wonder if nitroglycerin can be frozen? Nitrogen vs nitrogen

[@товарищОГилви-х9й]

looks like frozen tnt is burning fast, normal- expolse

[@stevenkeegan6260]

Fun video!

[@quinszar]

do one more test (embed the TNT inside a giant sealed pipe filled with baked to remove all moisture sand then detonate the warm one and then fill the other with the liquid nitrogen with a small drain in bottom when all the liquid is drained out detonate) questions asked in experiment will be. is the frozen TNT because its slower burning getting fuller consumption or is it weakened because of the cold

[@Uncle-Duncan-Shack]

What were you cooking with the propane? I was impressed with the results, the chemistry in the blast caps and dynamite is clever stuff. The stuff is safe and reliable, given that a dangerous bang is what you are after lol.

[@cheekymonkey666]

i found a challenge you might consider taking on.... The largest water rocket measures 4.04 m (13 ft 3 in) tall and 44.5 cm (1 ft 5.5 in) in diameter, and was created and launched by Aidan and Keeley Aird (both Canada) on the set of "Furze World Wonders" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on 10 June 2017. you could see if you can beat that record?

Have you tried dynamite under an anvil to see how high you can make it go?

[@roybm3124]

In professional terms: shitload of dynamite

[@longboardfella5306]

Normal temperature in Finland looks very near liquid nitrogen based on your clothing!!

[@MrKelaher]

Yay ! Dynamite would work in the outer solar system !

[@Nuovoswiss]

Would be interesting to see this repeated with liquid oxygen. Maybe the oxygen would soak into things and enhance the blast. Alternatively, it would be interesting to see a mix of liquid oxygen and liquid propane explode.

[@galfisk]

Or oxyliquit (solid fuel soaked in liquid oxygen).

[@sparrow9990]

How do you dispose of liquid nitrogen and dry ice like I dont think it can melt or warm up does it just evaporate or something

[@loopie007]

If you are going to park your pickup truck like that, roll down the windows so the explosive blast doesn't pop them out.

I haven't watched these videos yet, I've been watching your live stream on T for the last 4 hrs. But I have an idea for your new spaghettifier 5,000,000 tool....! how much oil comes out different kinds of potato chips??? I can't wait till next upload hangover Sunday 10 a.m.

[@baikia777]

That was pretty fun lol.. Meanwhile in my country even fire cracker is illegal. Btw you should have frozen two dynamites and cut one to check wether they really have frozen all the way through the center.

[@inthefreytoo]

"...Have A Nice Day..." Kyle Myers! (FPS Russia) Call your office!

It might take longer to ensure the core of the explosive is really as cold as possible.

[@JohnDoe-bt9qp]

Try it with liquid hydrogen

[@garytulie8567]

I wonder what would happen using liquid oxygen rather than nitrogen?

[@LuzidDream]

Myth busting hollywoods bomb de-fusion with LN2

[@xenonram]

To be fair, they usually freeze the circuitry like mercury switches and relays.

[@MatthewHill]

What if it had turned out that LN2 detonates dynamite?

[@nochitlins]

You're not using the same explosive at 5:46 and 7:06. The latter appears to contain some aluminum powder, based on the nature of the flash and the white smoke; the former doesn't appear to contain any metal.

[@fusionaddict]

If that is actual dynamite, freezing it is one of the absolute worst things you can do because it causes the nitroglycerine to condense and sweat. If makes the explosive extremely unstable and it can detonate randomly.

[@jennasloan396]

What happens if dynamite touches a high voltage traveling arc?

[@t.w.3]

Next time try liquid Helium. And perhaps some Nitroglycerin? Or how about some SemTex??

[@appleex1238]

Couple years ago you said that you are getting bigger press. Does it still take many years to arrive? I have posted this comment many times and still no answer i guess we have been fooled.

[@michaelmckay1567]

Try spinning metal disk 500 mmby 1mm at extreme rpm pneumatic high power super high speed tool of course to explode

[@jbnrusnya_should_be_punished]

The colder the Dynamite (or any other thing) the harder it becomes and have higher density. So the explosion also becomes stronger.
