It's that time of the year again, the day that both my parents and homeland security fear the most. Yes this video takes place on July 4th, my second favorite holiday! This is the only time of the year were explosives turn from illegal to frowned upon. On July 4, 2014 I performed my very first grenade experiment. Now before you believe that I cheated death (which I obviously have countless times) let me explain that this grenade is what I call a "Naked Grenade" which means that there is no metal casing around it to produce shrapnel when it explodes. I'm not sure I should tell you the procedures to re-create this experiment for your own safety, remember I maybe crazy but I'm also smart....which put together makes me dangerous but that's besides the point. But I will give the a hint of the main ingredient 2KNO3 + S + 3C ---------> K2S + N2 + 3CO2.
This experiment was one of my favorite explosions because when ignited the shockwave was so intense that you could feel a pressure wave caress and envelope your entire body also the sound wave was heard over 5 miles away.
