Slowly but surely we are getting our videos out. This was originally going to be combined with the electrical systems for detonation, but the video would be almost an hour long. Def didn't want to make it basically one long movie. As we are about 50% done with our lab compound, we can get into doing more creative videos. Be sure to post ideas that you would like to get done that we can record it for Utreon. We can upload more spicy videos on there without worry of being censored. Nothing ridiculous though. We can't show you how to make nerve gas or a nuke.
Take your time gents. I'm happy to wait weeks between each vid as long as they keep coming lol. If you want to dodge some of the yt bs consider some chemistry or fireworks based vids (not how to make HE) because you have probably already seen that the more educational vids are allowed to pass 👍
I like your guys’ content because ever since the removal of the infantry assaultman MOS in the Marine Corps, we no longer have marines at the rifle company level familiar with explosives, their employment, and fundamental safety associated with their use. Although these videos will never replace proper training, they allow me to become at least vaguely familiar with their use in the chance that I happen to work with combat engineers.
Yea. I remember when the USMC removed assaultman. Good MOS that went by by sadly. I wish we could make these videos more training like but YT would shut us down so fast we would time warp.
@@jlambuth totally understand but it is still fun and reminds me of some fun "training" times as the only civvie with a few 89D. (Life pro tip, do NOT attempt to match their drinks and if you hear "that laugh" of heh, heh, heh-giggle, it's time to beat feet.)
Everyone should be familiar with everything. In a war of attrition, where generals are targets. I want every soldier and Marine knowing every kind of weapon system, hand held and armored. Any vehicle, its capabilities and use in the brigade. As Ukraine has shown, anti-air and anti-tank launcher tubes are the new standard issue for everyone. So many world wide systems, I want our guys learning our stuff first. Then have Germans and other countries teach us theirs.
@@jjb9256 Not exactly. It’s just that infantry aren’t all trained in all the things you can do with high explosives beyond purpose-made mines like claymores. There are still specialty schools certain individuals go to for that, like breacher’s courses, but working with explosives isn’t a level of training you get by default in an infantry MOS anymore.
Just a comment from a fan of yours, since I've had experiences with underwater detonations. Back when I was in Jr. High (early 70s), a kid lit an M80 and flushed it down the toilet. I can verify that it's no urban legend that it can go off underwater, and do a lot of damage. This one took out a large section of plumbing and burst through the bathroom wall. Not trivial! But even more close to home and many years later, I was in the hospital with my wife a couple of years ago, who was undergoing critical surgery, and my 12-year-old son decided that having Mom & Dad away from home would be a fun time to try an experiment. He threw a standard "legal" 50mg firecracker with waterproof fuse in our toilet, and it went off at the bottom of the toilet bowl before (fortunately) making it further down the line. As water is non-compressible, the seemingly small shock wave still took out a chunk from the side of the ceramic bowl and destroyed the toilet, making a big mess and a pissed-off Dad. But what can I say--I did worse in my youth. 😆
Hello fellow energetic enthusiasts! We totally apologize for the heavy wind noise. We did our best to try and record when it was minimal. We invested in more heavy duty wind defeating equipment for recording. We want to start uploading dedicated videos on utreon as we can make them sans heavy censoring. We just need to know what people would like see. Be sure to comment your ideas!
Not sure about toilets, but M80s use a similar fuse and we used to throw those in the lake after lighting, and they would submerge for a second or so before exploding in a very visible way. So, for at least a couple of seconds, that cannon fuse does work underwater.
They're pretty waterproof, it'll burn about 15 seconds completely underwater guaranteed. Mortar rounds have about a foot and every one I've thrown in a lake went off
Extremely great for fishing in Georgia! When you have eight hungry childs at home and 15 minutes to fish before DNR shows up with an angry Hall county deputy in their boat😀😀😀😀🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸! Nature's welfare country style!
I used to do that ALL THE TIME as a kid. Never once had a dud due to water. Most firecrackers work fine submerged. Bottle rockets will also burn underwater and fly off like a micro-torpedo
The first recorded us of "fuses" that I know of, involve goose quills filled with fine black powder, it burned at a consistent rate, good enough for mining work anyway
If i had to choose fuse for my own project, id choose visco for the simple reason that is Very visible that its burning! That timed fuse is disconcerningly quiet and slow XD
It is rather quiet which does freak out some people when they first try it. Especially when it's a lengthy fuse. Almost impossible to tell if it's it lit after a few seconds.
Using a fuse lighter will tell you immediately if the time fuse is lit or not. Using an electric match gives you all the benefits of electric initiation, but using a fuse lighter lets you know for sure. Your three foot burn time is extremely necessary if using a fuse lighter.
Love Sportsman Guide and this channel. Well to all of us enjoying these guys and on big brother list for watching..lol. I am too old to do these fun stump removers!!!
In all honesty we are all already on a list for watching this video I actually wouldn’t be surprised if you actually get visited by police despite this clearly being a joke
That’s pretty cool. I went to New Mexico tech to the IRTB class (incident response to terrorist bombings) and we saw all types of different fuses. You guys stay safe thanks for the content we use it for training at the FD
Hey bud another great video.. Its not an urban legend. When we do demo on a house, I have personally thrown a firework into the toilet. 90% of the time it doesn't clear the pee trap in the bottom and the ceramic toilet just breaks in half. Not a spectacularly powerful explosion but enuf. If it makes it into the pipe there is enough space that it doesn't blow the pipe itself.
With regards to the black powder fuse, a technique still used in some pyrotechnic devices is to (loosely) wrap the black powder fuse in a thin layer of tissue like paper (I've used Christmas tissue). This technique seems to help progress the flame. This can shorten the fuse time quite a bit.
there's a bunch of talk about 3D printed guns but what about 3D printed shaped charges, im not sure if y'all have a 3D printer but it would be pretty cool to see the effectiveness of a plastic liner in a shaped charge
paper soaked in potassium nitrate solution and then dried over a lamp is very consistent, ~30 seconds / inch IME. Folded to two layers it has enough energy to initiate powder charges.
Very informative to people like myself who is interested in the how it works for purely interested sake. But it creates the question of if I have the information in my head of how to be a terrorist but will never ever carry out a act that causes terror. Am I still the terrorist for having the information in my head? According to UK law, yes I am. Even though I was instructed by my former army EOD father ? Great work on the video many thanks.
Can you maybe try 3d printed explosives? There's a video here on RU-vid of a university lab actually printing nano thermite. I'm not sure what the carrier fluid is, or if it's just a plasticizer, but they are able to create all kinds of custom charges. It should be able to be done with all sorts of explosives as well as the nano thermite
Great info. The fireworking community calls the first fuse black match. If made well it works better than what you showed :) but for what you guys do it's pretty primitive. Not too hard to make though
It would be cool to see different methods of making water impulse breaching charges: I’ve always found the idea of using water to shape charges fascinating
Im very grateful u made this video about time fuse, visco, and safety fuse. Im certain u guys probably have a Mushroom starter in your inventory for primacord? Seen many of those on some commercial sites b4...
You guys brought up some beautiful memories in my days as a powder monkey. Thanks for the video keep them coming guys keep them coming. Y'all have a great day and stay safe and keep your powder dry and you refused non e!l
When it comes to both the cherry bomb, and fuse burning underwater, Mythbusters actually did an episode on that, and found that cannon fuse will burn just fine underwater...
That's why you can drop most firecrackers into water buckets, lakes, or toilets and they usually still work just fine. I used to regularly toss firecrackers in water in my childhood and it never once caused a dud.
Thanks for your videos only way I get to see blowing stuff up anymore. I miss my time back in Army teaching other soldiers how to employ explosives and getting to blow stuff up. Due to my experience with explosives after "ground war" of Desert Storm I got attached with combat engineers to help blow equipment and ordinance up. Nothing like getting to see a "few" 5 ton truck loads of C4 and TNT being hooked into a ringmain and detonation. A pain in the @## to set up but a "blast" to watch after all the work. It was large enough that you could tell the delay of Det. Cord burn rate.
Great video I don't know why but I love it when you guys play with m80s and cherry bombs probably even more than the big explosives but those m80s always impress me probably because it's a firecracker that used to be legal and still should be
I could see if in an area where there is the possibility of an unintended electrical charge being induced in the wiring of an electric detonation setup either fuse or non electric makes sense.
@@OrdnanceLab I work around ton of RF 30-100 Kw of rf. Occasionally we have to take a tower down near a live tower and occasionally it's with explosives, never anything but a non electric detonation. The "Skin affect" or RF is a bitch and clings to anything that can conduct. Fuckin hilarious to watch idiots trim brush around a live tower just to have a ladder go "live" from simply being near the high RF and give you a burn or just having vegetation touching the tower and blasting whatever is going out on the air through the arc. RF burns feel worse than chemical burns and they run deep. Can't imagine the nightmare of ignorantly using an electric blast setup near high RF 🤣
Army Regs only allow a maximum of 15 MPH winds while using electric initiation just for the possibility of static build up. As long as your lead lines stay shunted you'll be fine though. There's also a tool supposed to be used wsith electric to test stray current in a line. Can't rememeber the spelling but I believe its called a galvanometer.
Your "American style" practical demonstration of "Nonel" and its "pros and cons" was valuable. We had fuse factories in Cornwall (UK) during the big mining era and seeing what they are like was interesting. "Nonel" gains many advantages if you want to bottom-detonate tunnel-blasting drilled hole charges? The way the sheath contains all the transfer eventually...?
Are you guys able to do videos about explosives on different types of concrete or other material? Maybe some with rebar, some with wood and dirt and such? Test the effectiveness of different material composition?
Dynamite can be set off with a rifle, just like Tannerite. Dynamite can be set off with a BB gun if it is burning. When on fire, Dynamite is very sensitive to shock. No electricity or blasting cap required.
depends on the sensitivity of the explosive i would say, whether its plasticized/desensitized. if its not you might be able to make a makeshift internal spring loaded striker but it would have to hit the ground the correct way to further compress the spring the little ball bearing to dislodge to allow it to strike the whole way, it works better as pressure activate detent switch for many uses but mainly land mines or type of impact fuse or as base fuse as it can be configured to require it to be fired first to arm the fuse rather than centrifugal armed assemblies, but its cheap to make and safe to use
Whenever y’all do get the Utreon exclusive content going, it’d be awesome if you dropped reminder posts in the community feed on here or something like that!
