Don't Crush Tannerite In a Hydraulic Press

don't try this at home this is a two-part explosive called tannerite the white powder here is mostly ammonium nitrate and then this is aluminum powder and when you mix them together and shoot them it explodes okay two pounds of tannerite in the microwave that's where we need to hit so i wanted to see if i put it in my hydraulic press and generate a ton of pressure if it actually explodes so do you need temperature and pressure or just pressure a little bit of this powder here mix it together so with the square area of this small head here it's equivalent to around 50 000 psi so three two one so it didn't explode that means the shock wave of a bullet is much higher than this pressure and also generates higher temperature to start the explosion
