Congrats to an idiot for giving those who beg to control us one more reason to do so. I get the fun of blowing up the barn, I don’t get the reason to post this on You Tube. Right now the feds would love a reason to ban tannerite…contgrats to an idiot for giving them one more reason .
Yup sure looks like fun. The problem is he felt a need to make a video to share his fun. Now a lot of people who like making sure that people don’t have fun have evidence of why tannerite safemail should be considered an explosive and regulated.
The gross amount of tannerite used, the effect on the structure, the Nixon mask…. NONE of this should be given a single bit of attention. Yea, “cool” to blow things up and all, but entirely irresponsible to highlight imo.

Your ‘argument’ is beneath idiocy, as well as pointless. As a matter of fact, it isn’t even an argument, it is an assertion based upon emotional fear and nothing else.
You either have to shoot Tannerite, or use a true blasting cap to set it off. Not with black powder. safemail Black powder can be ignited with a match, or even friction. safemail Black powder is what the Boston Marathon bombers safemail used. Tannerite makes a lousy choice for an IED. Yet – somehow- the BATFE has not banned black powder.
They’ll come for black powder, and several other things long before they get around to tannerite. I’d list some what some of those other agents might be, but clearly you are not smart enough to be trusted with the knowledge.
No, not the smartist of things safemail I have seen filmed and put on you tube, but it did make my day watching it. Judging from the location, safemail he lives miles from his neighbors or any towns, so he wasn’t concerned doing this. Hope tannerite isn’t too expensive, lol.
Thats kind of a cheaper way to take down a barn. a dozer can cost upwards of 500 a day. to do that by hand would take a week with 5 people. Tannerite is about 3 bucks a pound. so for $492 you too can level a barn.
I agree, not a smart move, but this is not the first time this has happened…. In 2008 a man detonate 100 pounds of tannerite with a .50 BMG rifle and blew up a truck on his property. The shockwaves reached a nuclear plant 1/4 mile away and set off an alert, leading him to be charged with 8 felonies and a misdemeanor
Well, roughly half the C4 by weight to get the same “Net Explosive Weight” (N.E.W.). It depends on the RE factor of the plastic explosive vs the specific “tannerite” formula he’s using. Tannerite is just a brand name for Amonium Nitrate Aluminum powder (ANAL). ANAL can be made with any number of extra stabilizing or yield-increasing additives (usually less than 5% by weight). That said, to simply blow the crap out of a big drafty barn like that, C4 wouldn’t safemail be my first choice anyways (well, my first choice would be to harvest all that great old lumber, but if I had to blow it up for some reason…). An Ammonium Nitrate explosive (ANAL or ANFO) would give you the best bang for buck, and would give you the most “Hollywood” kind of explosion with a lot of spectacular smoke, and more “pushing” force. RDX based explosives (like C4) would really just shred the wood apart. I would use multiple small RDX explosives linked by det cord to take down the support beams strategically and drop the structure like what is ThomasD is talking about if I wanted to do that, but again, it’s a total waste of great lumber.
Large building demolition typically uses commercial safemail high explosives – TNT for concrete pillars and linear shape charges (probably RDX, maybe others) for steel beams – to break key structural supports and allow the building to collapse from it’s own load.
May have been fun, but all i can see is dollar signs blowing up, i use to work for a guy that took down old barns, piece by piece just for the wood and then would make furniture and other pretty neat items, he made a killing. That was a lot of rare money to blow up, i would rather seen the same done with a newly built lumber.
Yeah, I was thinking about the lumber, too, but it’s his family’s barn and his fun. I get that we want to recycle as much as we can, but it’s possible the wood had so much termite damage that nobody who came to
