Watch the video. Binary explosive. Was wondering if it was real or fake and if anyone had any clue what the two ingredients were.

faek vid is faek

the binary explosive used does exist and is called FIXOR
the ingredients are a corporate secret
but it is not that powerful or heat sensitive
i think the thing that destroyed the melon was the huge fucking mortar it was sitting on

fakefakefakefakefake.

I believe in the last thread about this, the two ingredients were stated as corn flower and red food colouring.

"[1] The ORIGINAL video is from Metacafe.com submitted by 'shootingeggs'. (This link is controversial. Several viewers believe that this film is possibly a hoax, one discrepency being that the person speaks into what appears to the untrained eye to be a walkie talkie or 2-way radio. In fact this is a Maycom AR-8 Airband / UHF Receiver, and does not have the capability to transmit. This is one of the many errors in that film. FIXOR, see link below, is a legitimate binary explosive, yet does not have the power observed in the film for such a small quantity. FIXOR is also is a binary liquid explosive whose components separate and becomes relatively inert after two hours, requires a detonator, and is not heat sensitive.)" From Wiki

It looks to be labeled as 1.1B, "1.1 Mass Explosion Hazard, B An article containing a primary explosive substance and not containing two or more effective protective features. Some articles, such as detonator assemblies for blasting and primers, cap-type, are included." or possibly 1.1D "Secondary detonating explosive substance or black powder or article containing a secondary detonating explosive substance, in each case without means of initiation and without a propelling charge, or article containing a primary explosive substance and containing two or more effective protective features."

if it was real, planes around the world would be exploding like fireworks.

another funny thing about the video is how they said, "watch how the melon is vaporized."- lol, nothing was vaporized.

Argh, not again.

I searched for binary and nothing came up. Something about FIXOR came up but that's it.

Not to mention the whole short-fuse-in-small-tube problem.

Fixor is used commercially for in-place detonation of mines, both anti-personnel and anti-tank, and for other EOD purposes. It is (and must be) detonated with a blasting cap. Just go to: Fixor

I presume it is some sort of red phosphorus paste and oxidizer.

Heh, last time this came up I postulated Armstrong's.

Not only can they record the VoD to the tenth, but they actually state that the explosive has a lower VoD than almost all explosives that the people here on BB can make.

Heck, AP is 4500m/s isn't it? (probably something I should know) and that much AP would be lucky to DDT.

That Fixor reminds me of Tannerite. On that page, it looks like they had a blasting cap inside the bottle. Could that be possible that it's pretty similar? Forget the color, it's always possible they added iron oxide powder or something just to color it, purely to throw people off.
