BOOM!

Yesterday I put up a video of an Ammonium Perchlorate explosion that happened in Nevada umpteen years ago. Right after college I worked for a company that used AP as an ingredient in making a whole bunch of different perchlorate salts and perchloric acids.

Pretty cool pictures of the blast wave coming across the desert floor to the hikers that took the video. Kind of gives you a sense of the scale of things when you can watch the blast wave roll across the desert floor towards you at the speed of sound or 768 mph.


Sometimes it's the little things that really amuse me. Like this:


And, is that Zarizz' voice in the movie?
