Guy Injures Himself with Tannerite Explosion

[zippy23]

I've mixed 2 small bottles together, put it on a large log, and it blew the crap out of the log, pieces everywhere.

 

[venenoindy]

Stupid hurts!

 

[moosehead]

Did I miss something? I'm pretty sure I didn't hear anyone say "Hey guys, watch this!"

That's because you had the volume turned down. I heard "Hey y'all, watch this". Or maybe I imagined it.

No matter how hard you try... You just can't fix STUPID!

 

[pwoller]

Hes lucky he didn't lose an eye!

They better question, who doesn't blow stuff up with tannerite????

 

[esrice]

Which INGO-er used tannerite to take down a tree, with similar results?

lovemywoods-- he got hit with dirt.

Here's another tree he took down.

Tannerite is indeed a lot of fun. It's also an explosive, so plan accordingly.

It'll buff right out.

Uh, NO!


First you start with. . . .body putty.

Maybe the build up of pressure in the computer monitor had something to do with it, versus a flimsy water bottle.

Can not see the monitor, but if its a CRT tube monitor you may be on to something. See all CRT tubes are under a vacuum. They don't explode, they IMPLODE! The piece that hit him in the head looks to be a piece of glass from a tube type monitor.

People underestimate items which are no longer plugged in... a CRT tube holds a charge. Much like a capacitor and it will knock you on your can if you mess with the HV wire before discharging the tube. They hold thousands of volts... re the high voltage transformer. Just like a microwave.

TENS of thousands actually. 57,000 is what sticks in my head for certain units I used to service. (Granted I could be wrong... I havent touched one in 15 years)

And your mom also, I remember talking to your dad about that back @ last years NFA Noob day.

 

[E'villeGunner]

A mark yes, something to tell his grandchildren about, only if he lives long enough and stops trying to blow **** up.

Microwave Oven Transformers (MOTs) are fun toys. Current limiter for a MOT welder

That looks like a lot more than a pound unless tan write has a much higher rating than I think. That looks very close to what 5-10 pounds of hme looks like

 

[gunman41mag]

could've been worst he could've been hit below the belly button
