@TopShotDustin is such an amazing "influencer", that he radicalized us to join his war on trees. As such, we took high-explosives to various Huisache trees on our range to see how best to get rid of them. We try taking trees down with detcord, binary high explosives, a wine bottle shaped charge, and a linear shaped charge.
If you're in Texas and have a need for explosives blasting for beaver dams, rocks, trees, or just for fun; please contact our sister company, Texas Explosives & Blasting Services at www.txebs.com.

This is not our "how to blow up trees with explosives" guide. It's more of a last minute idea that turned into a multi-day project as Texas as hot right now and we couldn't film all day deal. We blew up a few other trees outsides this video. We just figured we show everyone different methods of blowing up the evil huisache tree that plagues the range. Note: no oak or mesquite trees were harmed in the filming of this video. We like those trees and planted a few more in other parts.

Is there different size det cord?

@minhducnguyen9276 Год назад

I'd expect the linear shaped charge to slice all the way through the tree. But for the amount of explosives used it was the most efficient thing you throw at the trees. Besides, since shaped charges are material and distance dependent, maybe the tree was just too thick and copper wasn't the optimal liner material for wood. Speaking of liner material, I read it somewhere that while copper works better on steel, aluminium work better on concrete as a shaped charge liner. Can you confirm this?

@sjcwoor Год назад

I was suprised with the linear shaped charge. I thought they should be able to go through steel RSJ I beams and bring tower blocks down.

@jlambuth Год назад

What's going on fellow energetic enthusiasts? As we are trying to do maintenance on our range, we figured we make this into an interesting video with tons of booms. We didn't realize how long it was going to be until I finished editing it. But, if you want gratuitous explosions you got it! Be sure to comment on any new topics you would like to see and we will try to do them.

@klutch545 Год назад

I wonder if drilling a hole, filling it with water, and placing the charge in the hole will work on trees. It works pretty good on cracking boulders. Also, I wonder if more stand-off will work better with the linear charge, maybe even cut a notch and place the linear charge over the notch.

@jlambuth Год назад

@@klutch545 The stand off for the shape charge is what we found to be most effective for this bottle shape. As for tamping with water, it's def worth testing.

@scrappydoo7887 Год назад

@@Shad0wBoxxer in fairness it will work but it has to be thicker cord and only really works on saplings to small adult trees. It also helps when uncle Sam is paying for it so you can use as much as you want lol

I was pretty sure the charge under the tree had gone up entirely because of how deep the thump was when it went off. Yeah it was quiet, but it was a bassy THUMP akin to a quarrying detonation, rather than the weaker noise of a milder det.

@embers_falling Год назад

If you surround the detcord with water bags, it’ll direct the force more and do more damage I would also really like to see what either nomex or Gemini would do in the hole created by the wine bottle shape charge. Especially if either side of the hole were packed with clay

@sski Год назад

The shaped charge going through that trunk totally surprised me. That was amazing! I think you have it down, Jake.

@Fiirow1 Год назад

I don't know how much this matters with different explosives, but I was taught that the direction of the detonation matters as much as the placement. If you detonate from a less ideal direction, a large portion of the force will follow that path of detonation - so for trees you'd want to detonate it towards the tree for best effect... Plus with trees specifically, simply removing the large bark layers, should result in a much better effect on target - the bark serves as a buffer for the tree and prevents the detonation from directly impacting the tougher and harder core. Plus you could always just cover (forget the english word) the charge with sandbags or waterbags, which would serve to "focus" the energy on target. Idk ^^ Still quite enjoyable to see creative uses of explosives.

@davidkudrav7018 Год назад

Yes, tamping all the charges (& tamping the one tamped charge better) would yield better results. When detonating explosives in blast holes, for quarrying say, there are calculations for the recommended amount of stemming; under stemming wastes energy. Similarly, lack of tamping or covering these charges results in energy directed toward sound and physical shockwaves at a distance, but less work done locally, where the charge was placed.

@tomshepherd4901 Год назад

If I'm not mistaken, building demolition teams use copper pipes full of explosives to produce a shearing effect on concrete collumns. Maybe that with some sand bags or water containers to focus the shock wave would work better. If only you could use a BLU-82!

For cutting barbed wire some militaries still offset bangalore torpedoes but updated with 4 pieces of angle iron welded onto the case, perhaps something like that would be useful here for severing root systems? Did you know despite being soft, balsa wood is a hardwood. Softwood simply means ever-green in simplest terms.

@minhducnguyen9276 Год назад

The new Bangalore charge use fragmentation, thus the use of the iron casing, to cut the wires so it might not be effective against the roots.
