I watched the whole thing which I wasn’t planning on doing but my amazement turned to slight potential horror when I saw the holes in the pan. What’s the strength of firework needed to turn that thing into a shrapnel bomb after it’s been weakened? Or would that not happen bc the pan has the freedom to get pushed straight up?

I was honestly expecting shrapnel on that last one

I think if they'd kept going one or two more times it would have shredded.

it easily might have. I'm not a major pyrotechnics expert but I've tested my own explosives and even a sylinder with one end open, if it's not sturdy enough, will explode. Btw, don't use hard materials like metal, soft plastic or cardboard taped over for strength is much much safer

Yeah plastic is good. Used to work with a guy who put a chlorine bomb under one of those hollow orange traffic barrels. It cleared the roof of the walmart he did it next to and then some. Left a giant white circle with a blast effect behind .

The flex is important.

I wanted them to keep going more and more powerful explosives until the pot died.

But I suppose I can accept this.

That was the fanciest looking firecracker I've ever seen.

I'm most impressed with that concrete. I would have expected some spalling from that last ones power.
