How to make your own tannerite. Link below.

Seems pretty simple

Thats cool and all but can we make it here and where  to use it?

The only place to get tannerite locally is on the big island.

The guy noted that some brands have ammonium chloride in them as a fire suppressant. 

Interestingly, when I was at Gander Mountain a week or so ago, I discovered that they had Tannerite prominently displayed at an end cap on one of their aisles.  Couldn't find it on their on-line catalogue, but it was in their in-store flyer.  There have been several posts on it if you google "gander + tannerite."

It's basically (but not necessarily exactly) the same stuff they use in large Fourth Of July aerial salutes.  AKA "Flash Powder," and you used to be able to buy the mixin's from the classifieds in photographic magazines.  (Used for large-scale flash photography, for example, pix of buildings, inside caves, and the like.)



The first "crack" you hear is a high-powered rifle shot into the Tannerite sitting under the car to set it off.

"I Love America!"  They had several cams going in this one and in one of them the shock wave is clearly visible.



Very well done.

Flash power used for tannerite is simply aluminum powder. You can make it at home with a blender and some aluminum foil.

That second video was AWESOME! 

^ Yeah, I'm glad I found it. Even the gal seemed to enjoy it.

(2:22):  "G-d is good.... G-d is good....He's blessed us with Tannerite.  That's the Bible.  Bible right there.... preach it."

Laughed like hell over that... oh, wait, make that "heck," given the context.

(1:12 ff) Looks like they were using a tracer round, seen incoming to the left of the appliance.

I guess I'm wondering what makes tannerite not a destructive type device?  I haven't seen any legal stuff on it here... yet.

See point 48

Point 49 covers the theatrical uses.

I was sore tempted to get a kit when I was in Gander Mountain last week* just for the heck of it, but frankly, I did all the high-powered chemistry I ever wanted to do many decades before, so I said the hell with it.


*See reply 3 above.

ok, i have an acquaintance that may know somebody, who knows someone, that somebody knows, that might have made this so called homemade tannerite.   

according to:[§134-28]  Explosive devices; prohibitions; penalty.  (a)  It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly or intentionally possess, construct, set off, ignite, discharge, or otherwise cause to explode any homemade explosive device.
     (b)  Any person violating this section shall be guilty of a class C felony.
     (c)  A violation of this section shall be construed as an offense distinct from an offense under section 134-8.
     (d)  For the purposes of this section, "homemade explosive device" means a non-commercially manufactured device composed of a single ingredient, or mixture of ingredients, capable of instantaneously releasing a sufficient amount of energy to inflict substantial damage to persons or property. [L 2011, c 222, §1]

if this is done on private property, is this still illegal? 

I saw several boxes at X ring last year.
