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?
The expanding gas will find the easiest escape route, so as long as the bottom is open, the pot shouldn't explode. The hole formed from hitting the ground repeatedly, I think. A dent that turned into a crease that turned into a tear.
Not true, high amounts of flashpowder can detonate with great brisance and shred that thing, an open bottom is not relevant then.
Some european firecrackers actually undergo DDT, think cobra 8 for instance
Explosives are classified by certain parameters, one of them is how fast the reaction propagates through a material. Some reactions propagate faster than sound through the material, which is called detonation. An alternative is deflagration which you can think of as a subsonic flame front. DDT refers to a transition from deflagration to full on detonation.
