How about including what it's made of, how it's detonated, who invented it, what its used for, and why it's better than gunpowder or a big firecracker?

You explained nothing about Dynamite itself.Just saying it has Nitrogen from Nitroglycerin in it does not make it dynamite. Many explosives have nitrogen compounds in them.Nitroglycerin is very prone to exploding from impact alone.How does Dynamite make it safer?How is it detonated? It's not like igniting gasoline.A video with little info. Please,you can do better.

felt like this video is missing some more info....

Lowest quality explanation i have seen, this is like a 1st grade school level

You didn't explain how they work, but just one of the several (?) chemicals in dynamite.

buddy BUDDY Dynamite is nitroglycerin

This video is titled “How Does Dynamite Work?” because that is exactly what you’ll still be asking after watching

Maybe the way dynamite works is something they don't want you to know.

Thank you so much for posting. I am making a cave.

I thought it was a little funny when you listed some of the things that contained high quantities of Nitrogen; you included Nitroglycerin. Funny because Nitroglycerin is what Dynamite is, with just a few inert materials to stabilize the Nitroglycerin.

SHINING THROUGH THE CITY WITH A LITTLE FUNKY SONG. LET'S THROW THE SCIENCE AWAY AND START THE NIGHT ALIGHT!

That explains why it burns, but not why it explodes

Instructions unclear. I blew my face off.

Great vid. Always are. You left the components out of dynamite

that was good information thanks

How does a fridge work? - Well... it has parts that make things cool. - Ah... thanks!

Good thing I watched this in 2x speed. Very uninformative. How depressing.

My dad served in WWII and he told relatives all about blowing up bridge's and railroad tracks and such with all types of explosive devices. My dad said women gave bacon grease to the army to make nitroglycerin out of....no shit, people!

Wanna know how to make dynamite? Go watch Fight Club. I actually make soap (yeah I got bored during the lockdown) and I was really tempted to make some boom (I live in the sticks) until I saw the video of homeboy blowing his hand off and thought “you know what?, I’ll just set some black powder off🤤”

Um,I still dont know how it works???

Man, I shouldn't have looked up "how to make dynamite". I am probably being watched now.

2 of the explosives you listed under having nitrogen were the exact same as dynamite.

Hello!!!!! I'm pretty sure Dynamite is nitroglycerin! And the correct term is nitrate/nitrated heck you can even nitrate your underwear!

If the goal of this video was to provide a shallow, misleading lecture in 2 mins about dynamite, then all its expectations were met.

Aight so can I get the crafting recipe?

well you did not told me actual method but made my answer easy

Can you make videos about warp drive engine,black hole,faster than light,parallel universe,and singularity?

Happy 4th of July everyone

We have a bowl of gasoline handy because we're using it to clean the grease and grime off of our power tools.

I know sawdust and nitroglycerin are the main components. Are there any more?

when you attempt to learn another language, but you are still binded down by the phonetics of your previous language

knowledge is grt

Make more videos like this!

I learned nothing from this. I was gonna watch this so I can make sure if I know what is inside the dynamite. Nitroglycerin and gunpowder?

I love dynamite

Pitcher plants are dynamite if they are mixing with azetobactor bacteria moulds from oil plant like mustard sheeds plant ???

Hmmm, going into the complex chemistry of nitrogen wasn't the goal of this video. You are right, dynamite is based off of nitroglycerin, and it's also deceiving on how he says that the presence of oxygen makes it a better explosion. I'm pretty sure that he knows in reality what's happening. There is obviously similar chemistry in ammonium nitrate. The point is that he wants to make a generalisation that many explosives feature nitro groups as a vital ingredient. Otherwise my friend, you're right

There's something i really want to know: Why does a parrot repeat sounds? Is there a reason, or is it just a talent it have.

Please give a detailed explanation on what T. N. T is and how does it works ??

Thumbed up your comment, thanks for the info! I hope this video wasn't just full of misinformation and people take it for granted...

love your videos :D

Cool maybe a more diagram style video of the actual atomic olevel reaction of an explosion

Nitroglycerin contains oxygen, 1 element of any fire, and while nitrogen purely does not like to react, nitrous oxide is a component to some rocket fuel mixtures, this highly reactive property is shared with nitroglycerin.

Azetobactor bacteria are dynamite or not if detonated with electricity electricity arc ????

Put me on the list again government

You dont know Kaiser sosay!?.. you should watch a 90s movie called "the usual suspects" nice episode I enjoyed Ben's presentation skills

You are now on the FBI watchlist

What causes hiccups/ why does it happen and how can we stop it

You do know dinomite is just nirtogliserin and diotomic earth The microscopic shells in diotomic eath helps to separate the molecules of nirtogliserin making it more impact resistant. Dont think of it as a tube though, more like a cinnamon roll the paper being the dough and the diatomic Earth and nitroglycerin being the cinnamon. Thats why you need a great enough force to set it off, blasting cap, or posibly just shooting it. Thats why nitroglycerin wasn't used as much becouse dinomite was just as powerful but can also be touched with going off. Todays more complex explosives like C4 and semtex need a percussion and heat to detonate.

Dynamite is composition Of Nitroglycerin and adsorbent (like wood pulp, saw dust) relative to its strength.

Gasoline is not explosive. It is combustible

leguminous plants root contains nitrogen so they are like natural dynamites

Fun Fact: *GASOLINE isn't flamable.*

playing fallout new vegas, says i should learn about dynamite before talking to Easy Pete, well here I am

what is the power of it

Gimme some chemical formulas plz

I know this was like six years ago but I have a question about dynamite. I heard it’s an incredibly unstable explosive. And that you could just throw the stick and It will blow up on impact. Is this true?

Make a video on quantum physics! Please!

Thx m8

Why do we have languages? How are they developed?

Very poor video with little information. Just a few facts about some ingredients or potential ingredients. I understand if you don't want to give an exact recipe (although I'm sure that's readily available elsewhere on the Internet) but more detail would have been appreciated.

Being a nerd i made nitroglycerin at home and made a bomd with it and my garden got boomed my good luck i dint used all of the nitroglycerin 😅

They said that dynamite has nitrogen in it and that it ignites faster than oxygen....thus it explodes. So I learned something.

I used to think that one had to scream allahu akbar in order for the explosive to go off......

Thanks for sharing but the explanation lacks the chemistry theory.

i came because of chargeman ken

This dude's pants are way too tight.

If nitrogen and oxygen are such key factors to an explosive substance, then why aren't all nitrogen-oxygen rich substances explosive?

Works by shockwave

he mentions nitroglycerin, nitroglycerin is dynamite, the only other ingredient is diatomaceous earth to reduce its ability to go off by shock force

If explosives totally wet, will it explode? if put a time bomb in water for a hour, wil it explode?

i wanna know if dynamite can explode under fire only....

Ben I love you. : )

I don't think this guy knows what he is talking about. First, dynamite is mostly nitroglycerin, this is why it explodes, and the rest of the chemical makeup is there to keep the nitroglycerin somewhat stable. Second, Nitrogen (which is inert in its pure form) is in nitroglycerin as nitrogen dioxide. Nitrogen dioxide is weakly bonded together and this is why the oxygen can easily escape to fuel reactions, unlike water (H20) which is in a strong bond and doesn't explode when you set it on fire.

dynamite has nitroglycerin in it and it has gun powder in it but if there were only nitroglycerin it would explode just with a shake or a drop so it would be pretty unsafe. The explosion of the gunpowder strikes the nitrog. so it ignites.

Once the fat tallow hardens, we skim off a layer of glycerin. If you were to add nitric acid, you got nitroglycerin. If you were to add sodium nitrate and a dash of sawdust, you got dynamite. Yeah, with enough soap we could blow just about anything.

How do yo make Dynamite?

Please reply fast..if i put some nytrogen in my firecracker it would explode harder?

Why do guys get morning wood?

if i have lots of nitrogen and gasoline will i have an explosive?

I want to know how to buy it in the USA I can only find firecrackers I do demolition for people that want to remove stuff

Why do those elements explode? I guess they have energy properties.

NO SPOT! DON'T DRINK FROM THE BOWL OF GASOLINE!

dynamite is made with nitroglycerin and a small firecracker det nitroglycerin is get ting soaked in to som cardboard and rolle ariund the6 small firecracker and when you ignitor the firecracker it gives the nitroglycerin a shock and it Will explode

and if i compress it?

I've been bowling too G

This is incomplete. There is no explanation of the chemical process behind the reaction.

How many of these channels does Discovery have? goddamn

make more videos! like why do we live so long or why not longer?

Correct

Now do nitroglycerin

How does a mini gun work

i might be on a watchlist but i only want to know how it works

Trying to understand the implication's for excavating bedrock..

Your outfit looks sharp, don't listen to the haters

Is he doing sign language

Super but expand TNT I know but I forgot that meaning

Huh?

I'm scared

will flash frozen Dynamite blow up??
