Some things about this I never see talked about when the E-Team and Gelatin angle comes up:
The "BB-18" boxes are not just sitting around, the group disassembled them and taped them up to line the walls of their studio - did they bring the boxes, or find them in WTC trash area? The "BB-18" fuse holder looks like a common item you would find many of in a very large office building with a lot of fuse boxes using a lot of electricity - Occam's razor
"Blasting Gelatin" is indeed an explosive, apparently used in quarries - but it strikes me as a crude and cheap explosive, invented at the same time as dynamite by Alfred Nobel.
Gelatin also has well-known photosensitive properties and is used to bind photo sensitive emulsion in film photography. It is also used more recently in advanced techniques as a medium for holograms:
Regarding the physics-optics fields, gelatin can be applied in the fabrication of photosensitive materials. Undoubtedly the best known sensitive material is the photographic emulsion [2,3]. Light sensitive material in the emulsion is silver halide but it should be used with a binder that is gelatin. Some other binders, like polyvinyl alcohol, have been used but the better is gelatin. Other photosensitive material in the physics-optics fields is Dichromated Gelatin (DCG). Since its use in the printing industry for over a century ago it has shown applicability. Perhaps the last successful application is in the fabrication of holograms.
