If you guys ever want to do this again with a big fire ball, do the same thing you did with the black powder set up but with non-dairy coffee creamer. That stuff really puts on a show.

I’ve been told, during the depression when money was tight, the old timers would load their shot shells with part black powder & part flour,corn starch, or corn meal. You showed that cornstarch burns. I’d like to see you try shots shells or slug loads loaded with corn starch mixed with powder.

@Numl0k

4 ай бұрын

I'd be interested in seeing a source and reasoning behind that. Cornstarch *is* flammable, but only when the fuel/air mixture are correct. It has to be dispersed for that to happen. You see this in action with the blue powder. There was a delay before the whole load went up in flames, because that was the point when it was properly dispersed. If it were loaded in a shot shell mixed in with blackpowder, it would NOT burn in any meaningfully energetic way. The only reasoning I can think of that makes any sense is using it as a filler to increase the volume of the load to fill up space in the shell, but that would probably screw up the burn rate of the powder. Maybe it would work if they layered it so the cornstarch wasn't mingling with the powder.

@Earthshipowner

4 ай бұрын

The cornstarch/meal was to take up volume in the case... when loading reduced powder charges the danger with black powder, or a quick burning powder is keeping the least amount of air in the case.. it will cause the shotgun to omnidirectional...

Where we live there are lots of problems with bears coming into campsites at night and these would make me sleep better. Very cool.

Glitter is the bane of custodians as well. It sticks into every joint and crack in a floor and gets hung up in the fibers of carpets. That makes it almost impossible to get swept up or vacuumed up. I cleaned up a theater for years and they would have children's dance classes come in and display what they learned to their parents and the general public. And they loved glitter and sequins. And the hallway behind the theater was carpeted. The carpet was vacuumed at least 5, or more, times each week. About the time the vacuum finally got most of the glitter out of the carpet in the 4 months between classes, they would do it all over again.

the glitter slo-mo was one of the best shots so far. just really good cinematography

My granddaughter came over the other day. She had glitter all over her. Saying goodbyes she gave papa a big hug. I later went to the grocery store where I got a smile and laugh from a woman walking the other way down the isle. I didn’t realize until I got home that I had glitter all over my beard. Now I understand the laugh in the store!

Those look great. The ones I have have a single tie point and just use the 209 primer.

The problem with the flour cornstarch experiment is that you need something to disperse the dust before the explosion..

That thing could use an additional safety pull out pin cause people should keep their thumbs. Amazing slow motion on the dust fireballs, so called flour detonation or something im sure that was the goal... That's what changed the grain sylos design a few decades ago. Good fun as always!

I'm currently binge watching several months worth of your videos. This one seems like the one most likely to finish with an ER visit and OG picking digits up off the dirt. I'm really glad everyone walked away still able to open ketchup bottles unassisted. Great video! Exciting to the very end! 👍

Lycopodium powder was the stuff for making flash bangs in high school. It is naturally oily which provides the fuel.

This should make you very popular if a flare manages to start a brush fire or forrest fire.

This stuff is amazing. Thanks for showing this in action. Btw. love your sense of humor, guys.

Happy Fourth to the Taofledercrew and families! Once again, a different and interesting video. On the trip alarms, I've seen some on other channels that seem to have a rotating retainer for the shell or round. Are you aware of these or am I seeing it incorrectly?

I think i liked the cotter pin design from previous videos. This plate thing seems flimsy and might fall out to easy.

Great video! A better way to get a fireball with flour, or any kind of dust, is to delay the ignition until the "dust to air" ratio is better. Suspended dust is deadly explosive. Love your videos and commentary! Keep em coming.

i used to use this kind of kit when i was a gamekeeper. the ones i used had a plat pin same as these do but didn't look so good. the plat pin makes them way more useful than the ones with a splitting pin in the bolt. UK law requires them to be set pointing down into a hole. if you use them in another way they are a class 5 firearm.

Viewers should be aware that using a shell with pellets would be considered an explosive mortar. That is a weapon used in war and highly illegal…AND…if you trip your own alarm…could cripple you for life or worse. An empty shell with primer and a bit of explosives grade aluminum/magnesium for flash and brilliance, or corn starch or bakery wheat …would be more than adequate to frighten most people without endangering anyone.

Completely different subject, but concerning current events, namely the farmers protesting in The Netherlands: it would be interesting to see the effects of various LE rounds on loaded tractor tires (“loaded” tires are filled with liquid rather than air, to provide added traction and counterbalance when using tractor attachments). Maybe some farmers out there who have tractor tires that are due for replacement can loan a tire on a rim or two for testing before new ones are installed? Or if there is an old relic in someone’s tree line that could be a donor? Just spitballing a test idea. Love the channel!

Pretty neat! It reminds me of being a kid and taking the powder out of a bunch of old fireworks. We would dump it in a dip can, put a little hole in top for the wick, then light it and run. The explosion was underwhelming, but the colors were cool. A package of Blackcats in a glass bottle was way more fun though, especially on the porch of a neighboring cult member at 3 AM.

This channel just keeps on giving. Might try a chaw of C4.

I asked GPTChat to troubleshoot these tests after describing the process you used. Here is what it came up with: Based on the description you provided of the experiment, there are several possible reasons why the modified shotgun shell and flour mixture failed to produce a fireball: Lack of Oxygen: A fire needs oxygen to burn, and if the flour inside the tube was tightly packed or did not have enough oxygen, it would not burn efficiently. The tin foil seal on the tube may have limited the amount of oxygen that could reach the flour, leading to incomplete combustion and a cloud of flour instead of a fireball. Incorrect Powder Charge: Overloading the shotgun shell with powder could have caused the shell to rupture, leading to inefficient burning of the magnesium shavings and flour mixture. If the powder charge was too high, it could have caused the shell to fragment before the mixture could ignite properly. Incomplete Mixing: The magnesium shavings and flour may not have been thoroughly mixed, resulting in an uneven distribution of the fuel and reducing the likelihood of a sustained burn. Insufficient Ignition: The device may not have provided enough force to ignite the shell and create the necessary spark to ignite the mixture. The modified shotgun shell may have required a higher amount of force to discharge than the blank shells provided by the manufacturer, causing it to ignite inefficiently. Overall, the modified shotgun shell and flour mixture may have been too complex or difficult to ignite properly, resulting in an unsuccessful experiment.

Really fine baking sugar will ignite better than flour cos humidity causes flour issues. Here on Plague Island, aka the UK, it's called caster sugar and to the best of my knowledge, it's known as baking sugar on North America.

FYI, if you dry the cornstarch out first, it will work much better. I've done it with a pie pan and a lighter but I'll bet an oven would work well. This is quite likely the only thing I remember from 8th grade science class 😅
