[Original Video]Blackpowder testing in my toilet:)
This post is an extension of my previous post:)
When I was young like 12 yo, I started to play blackpowder, compound explosive and other high energy things.

I remembered at that time, I got to know a guy from HK on an online science forum.
He was very kind and invited me to his home to teach me chemistry and processes of making different kind of explosives.
He got tons of dangerous chemicals, acids, oxidizing stuffs, well.... ya pretty dangerous lol
That's pretty much my story of getting into these seemingly dangerous experiments
After that, I continued to do my own "research" in my home, and well, apparently my parents didn't care about things exploding in their home (How?!).
At early stages, I was only playing with mixture explosives, which doesn't really explode but they kinda deflagrate (burns very fast).
Only when they are enclosed very tightly, they undergoes detonation (burns way faster then sound, i.e. in the order of 1000m/s).
This was the first time that I did observe something very close to detonation, which made me very excited!!
The mixture contained 60% KClO4, 25% Carbon and 15% Sulphur by weight and ignited using a 68mF capacitor (for nerds who wanna know the parameters :)

followed back btw :)
thank you, you ca see some of my posts too...and resteem if you find them worthy
thanks!
sure:)
Actually I'm just staying in taiwan, I was born in Hong Kong instead.
Where are you staying now?
United States, have been here most of my life but never been back...just kinda missing seeing some of the places...things have changed quite a bit
That's kinda sad, I guess you didn't have a chance to enjoy Taiwanese food back in the days?
actually I did, I remember there's a restaurant that specializes in salty ducks...it was delicious..maybe it's still there because that place has been around for many many years before I was even born.
