Here's my favourite explosion on YouTube. To my knowledge, the largest charge ever detonated by an amateur. I don't think anything else even comes close.
AnonymousUploads was my hero. His ETN production method was fucking epic. 600g batches in 4 gallon kitchen sink tubs. 3L of sulfuric and 2kg of AN to nitrate a pound of Erythritol at a time. Oh yes, that is win.
He told me the ratio of the components used in that blast a LONG time ago, but I have since lost the notes. I believe it was a whole fuckload of a thermobaric ratio of ANFO, ANNM, and Al powder, the total mass being around 150kg, boosted by nearly a kilogram of ETN.
I'm going to start writing guides next week when I have a week off from class. I'll definitely cover nitric acid esters like ETN, PETN, and NG, and maybe some of the basics of nitramines, though I have less experience with those.
Here's a video of 250g ANNM blasting down a tree. I have a gallon of nitromethane on its way to Canuckistan, so I'll be detonating some similar charges in the next couple months.
I threw together a new video today for my YouTube channel. It's basically a compilation of a bunch of stuff I've done over the past couple years with HE, flash powder, and homemade cannons.

Wow, when I registered here, I didn't expect to see one of my videos in the first thread I opened.
Here's some more of the explosions I've filmed.
:thumbsup:

You should also write a guide on making ETN.

Someone also re-up'd my FAE attempt.
I've always loved the crazy atmospheric effects caused my air burst nuclear testing. Some of my favorite examples are at :52 and 3:00 of this video.

Filmed back in April. Stood too close and lost my hearing for a bit, even though I was wearing ear defenders. :eek:
