Can you fuse Tannerite?

Can you fuse Tannerite?

Tannerite cannot be set off by a smoldering fuse, an electronic fuse, an electrical current, an open flame, impact with a hammer or even a low-velocity handgun, according to Steve Yerger, a corporate investigator for Tannerite. Tannerite is sold in many sporting goods stores.

What is the mix ratio for Tannerite?

An exploding Tannerite target consists of an 8:1 ratio of oxidizer to catalyst, which come in separate containers and are mixed and shaken together prior to use. The Tannerite patent says that, in the optimal composition, the oxidizer contains 85% ammonium nitrate powder by weight, and 15% ammonium perchlorate.

How many tons of TNT would it take to destroy Earth?

How many tons would it take to destroy Earth? It basically boils away the whole Earth. The gravitational binding energy of Earth is about 2.2*1032 J, corresponding to 5*1022 tons of TNT. The largest weapon tested so far (Tsar bomba) had 50 megatons, we would need 1015 or 1 quadrillion of them.

Can a 9mm set off Tannerite?

No. Tannerite requires a round traveling at a minimum 2000fps to set it off.

What is Tannerite classified as?

Tannerite is the brand name of a binary explosive often used as a rifle target. Binary explosives are two-part mixtures of components that aren’t explosive on their own. The original patent for Tannerite describes a mixture of ammonium nitrate, ammonium perchlorate and powdered aluminum and a few minor ingredients.

Does calcium ammonium nitrate work for Tannerite?

Yes. They contain calcium ammonium nitrate which, for the purpose of tannerite, is equivalent.

How much TNT would it take to destroy the sun?

To do that would require a lump of TNT larger than the Sun, roughly 6 x 1034 tons (60 billion, trillion, trillion tons!). Overcoming the gravitational binding energy would destroy the Sun, as this is the energy required to blow all its bits to an infinite distance away.

How much energy would it take to destroy Earth?

Easy! When Manley runs the particulars of Earth through this equation, he figures out that it’d take about 2.25 x 1032 joules, or 225 million trillion trillion joules. For much larger planets such as Jupiter, you’re going to need about 2 x 1036 joules, which means 2 trillion trillion trillion joules of energy.

What is Tannerite fuel made of?

In the patented recipe for Tannerite, the fuel is aluminum powder with some titanium. The oxidizer is a mixture of ammonium nitrate and ammonium perchlorate, the key part being the “ate” on the ends of those words. That means they contain oxygen, in this case bound to nitrogen and chlorine atoms respectively.
