@@hofn420 Good point. There is also a variety of smokeless powders. Nitrocellulose is a common component but also guanidine nitrate and nitroglycerine are common. All of these things are actually high explosives and not propellants - so there are phlegmatizers added (ingredients which make the nitrate-based explosives react much more slowly so that they produce a lot of gas but no shockwave). The key to smokeless powder is that almost all of the products of the reaction are gasses and not solid particulates.
What annoys me more, is that this camera shake is probably not an instructed, or even incompetent cameraman, but a computer-generated effect. I think that because it follows faces suspiciously accurately, it zooms in the same increments and the shake is repeating. Who thought this was a good idea???
Additionally, minor changes to the formula can make it burn faster, slower, hotter, cooler, with more expansion or less expansion. Phosphorus and sodium for instance are two components that can make it burn hotter, making it more prone to thermal runaway. Increasing the sulfur or carbon in ratio to the nitrogen will decrease the potential for thermal runaway and confined energy, while increasing non-confined energy and total heat produced by reducing available internal oxygen. The resulting mixture will have more heat non-confined, making it better for fuses. Replacing the sodium with more nitrogen by using an alternative nitrogen source, will increase expansion. Adding metal particles (a common practice in fireworks and fuses) will slow burn and reduce thermal runaway by increasing total thermal mass, hence increasing the amount of energy required to heat it. It will also increase resistance to extinguishing. It also makes pretty sparks. Different metals make different sparks. Combining the wrong metals can have the reverse effect by creating a small chance of a thermitic reaction. The quality and chance of thermitic reactions depend on the ability of the carriers to combine the two metals. Gunpowder is a bad carrier for this, so the chance is small, random and dangerous. Don't mix metals in combustion unless you know what you are doing.
And now, boys and girls, know THIS: When you put a tiny amount of gunpowder in a small brass tube, confined, and put an igniter at one end, and a piece of lead sealing up the other end, you have a firearm cartridge. Which instantly produces tens of thousands of pounds per square inch of explosive pressure inside the brass.....and propels the bullet at supersonic speeds. So, be more careful the the cute girl in the video. Don't experiment on your own. Small amounts of confined gunpowder power things like bullets and cannons and bombs.

Lady,since Chinese have invented gunpowder, a lot of things happened .The composition of gunpowder in middle ages ( dark or brighter,take your pick) was not 75/15/10 ratio,but way leaner on potassium nitrate side,closer to 50%,since saltpeter was very expensive.It was also heavily contaminated,The gunpowder was not corned, only used as a meal powder( your spectacular presentation of the fuse contained in a plastic tube would fail).Only the last 200 years have seen gunpowder evolving into the compound as we know it today.So check your sources,regardless 1 mil + views,good luck
That is so cool . So I would like to see the difference if someone could present it in a worthy experiment. Difference between O2 levels. Normal versus excessive versus negative. Altitude and oxygen level affects everything plumb down to the flushing of a toilet. So I'd like to see how it affects something like this.
@alvin ramsey- you don't seem to understand the mechanism of gunpowder burn.Regardless oxygen level(within 20-30 %) it will burn equally fast- the potassium nitrate is an oxygen donor
if one pack the fuse tight enough an ignite it, could it explode? Also there is a Chinese say about people getting angry is asking if they feasted on gunpowder.
@@GauravSharmaABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQR Not according to the Chinese who invented it. There is a much lower Oxygen content in the first recipe. 55% Saltpetre.
@@bitTorrenter The early fomulas were meant to be used as incendiary mixtures for catapult firebombs and flamethrowing fire lances. Than some alchemist decided to up the saltpetre content in the recipe and got a faster burning mixture that could throw projectiles.
Gun powder has changed a lot, Chinese invented black powder while volatile it is not an explosive, it's a propellant which can create an "explosion" when contained.
That's not correct. Flash powder is a mix of oxidiser and a metallic fuel. This is sulphur, saltpeter and charcoal. That is why it is called 'black powder,' where as flash powder is lighter colored and often metallic depending on the oxidiser and fuel mix.
Thanks I'm a pyrotechnician I know what flash powder and gunpowder is made up from I've made enough. If you pay attention to the silver sparks and the crack of the report you can clearly tell they substituted the gunpowder with flash powder to make a better demo. Also another telltale sign is the lack of smoke as gunpowder would have made a lot more than the small amount of flash powder.
Don't forget it's in a bright studio so the camera would be set to probably around f5.6 or more. The exposure of the camera would have been set in rehearsal as your not looking to get a blinding flash. There are other mixtures that could do the same job as flash powder ie. whistle mix but that would not have made the flash that it did here, that flash was a metallic flash so it's either aluminium flash powder on magnesium flash powder I would have thought it would be aluminium flash powder as magnesium flash powder can be a bit dangerous to handle saying that aluminium flash powder is dangerous enough. You would only need a very small amount of Flash powder to make that effect.
so when you put gunpowder in a metal tube and compress it with a projectile..... it makes what? This was the most elementary video on gun powder ever on youtube
Was kind of cool, but it wasn't exactly educational or scientific. Maybe it was just missing all the important clips from a longer episode but this makes it look like the chick was just setting random things alight. Comparisons and controls make it educational. Exactly how much of a difference did confinement or thermal runaway make? You didn't even show the last one with the card off or if it even made a difference considering the gunpowder was packed in tape already.
WELL, ................. HAS ANYONE THERE READ THE COMMENTS YET. GET RID OF YOUR FRIEND WHO HOLDS THE CAMERA FOR YOU. ( I don't dare call them a cameraman because that would insult the profession )
Please zoom in more and shake the camera more? I could see way too much...
Perfect! Now unfocus and refocus a bit. Theeeere we go!
Also need more frequent change of view. It was far to easy to pay attention!
Geezus, man. I thought it was me. The cut-aways are mind numbing.
Someone get the interns in here! Tell them to get behind the cam operators & shove them around every few seconds.
Yes! Perfect!

hahahaha, didn't even notice :')
Hire me 4 camera work pls Brit Lab

Smokeless powder: am I a joke to you?
Smokeless powder is cellulosenitrate not a mix of KNO3 Sulfur and charcoal
@@hofn420 that's what I'm saying. For the video to claim gunpowder hasn't changed much is asinine.

What if this gunpowder is mixed with gasoline and dried. Does it burn faster?
That close up on the fuse looked cool, u could see a bunch of colors as it sparked
Fire the cameraman pretty pleaseeeeeeee
It's called Equal Opportunities.
BRUH what
please keep the camera still!
Glad they had a great bang together
Quick match tape works on the same principles. Tape over the fuse in between shells and make them fire in a lot quicker succession.
She pretty much made an improvised quick match. I have it in my shell fireworks

That was a great bang
Stop with the extreme close ups and the shakiness, it's almost unwatchable
now i know how to make my homemade gunpowder more explosive.
One search and im on like 20 watchlists
Both guys liked that bang and she smiled.
I got a thermal run away bang I can demonstrate for ya...lol
I love a good bang

They 3 seems so excited. Haven't they seen firecrackers?
Agree with everyone else here, nice vid got god damn that camera work ;_;
QUADRUPLE YOUR PISTOL'S POWER (most effective method)
I luv thermal run away.
Did it seem to anyone else like the string just shot out of the tube before burning?
Have anyone mentioned the overly shaky cam yet? Please use more of it because I did not vomit yet.
YOU SHOULD SHOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CARD
Keep the camera steady!!!!
A great bang always makes a man happy.
I wish you'd shown us the remains of the card.
Tripod?
please show the scores
The camera man isn't paid enough!!
the people who fimed this need to be fired
how I love to do that..
Shes so condescending 🤣
So, did no one tell them about ear protection?
You should inform your viewers of the recipe for gunpowder, as a child I used to have great fun making my own. There are very few ingredients.
Potassium nitrate ,charcoal and sulphur
In 75,15 , and ratio of 10

If the smell is sulphur why does it smell good when lit but so bad when your egg goes rotten?
sulphur dioxide vs sulphur hydroxide. different compounds

why does the camera moves that much?
I'm surprised she stuck her face right there.
Is at seem gunpowder in bug bunny if so great job

But at the same time, that report didnt Sound like blackpowder :)

gunpowder or smokeless powder is NOT an explosive, it is a propellant. BLACK POWDER is an explosive. You were using black powder, not gunpowder.
i wonder how fast you could make a fuse with that thermal runaway
Aerosolize the gunpowder in a pure oxygen environment.
