- Explosives Tutorial I-
Every person who make explosives should now everything in this file.
I will be explaining generally how an explosive works and general saftey.
First of all if you wan't to be an "Explosives" professional one
day you must never call an Explosive a "bomb". This is one way to tell the
difference between someone who is good with them and someone who just
thinks he is. An explosive is a powerfull force. It can be used for plain
fun and recreation or for deadly means. If you don't show it respect it will
show none to you. In other words if you toss them around and act like
thier nothing, you will sometimes find that they will not always cooporate,
and possibly explode. You must always treat the smallest explosive like it
is a block of C-4. If you do this you won't beleive how many accedents you
will save yourself from having. Even if you are carefull sometimes you just
have bad luck and one goes off in your face. I had some touch sensitive
explosives go off in my face, and trust me when I tell you it is an awakening
you will never forget! Luckily it was not a high power explosive! Be Careful!
It is common sense not to stick you head over something that is going to
flash or explode. This is the universal rule for high explosives or any
that throw shrapnel...(If you can see it, it can kill you). So BEWARE!!!
Now I will explain generally how an explosive works. An explosive
is something that lets off an enormus emount of energy at once. I'm not
a chemist so I don't know how touch explosives work, but I can give you
a basic runthrew on your standard pipebomb or CO2. The explosive explodes
from internal pressure created by your explosive mixture such as gun powder.
As you know gun powder does not explode, it burnes. Each of the little
grains of gunpowder lets off about 4000 thousand times its own gas when
lit, causing the pressure to build up rapid. The amount of pressure build
up all depends on what kind of mixture you use and how thick your container
is. I use a very fast burning smokless gunpowder. 700X to be exact.
Smokeless powders can sometimes prove to be better in some situations than
for others. One thing is when the explosive goes off and it has somewhat
of a short fuse it will not allow anyone to know the point of origin. If
you use black powder it produces a big smokeball and can be seen instantly.
But, black powder is always fun to use if you are just out to have fun and
aren't trying to scare the crap out of someone who you don't want to get
caught by. Flash powder is not a very good powder for explosives. It does
burn quite fast, but since it is such a fine grain powder, not all of it
has time to burn causing you to waste great quanitys of it. Another reason
it is not the best for explosives is because it lets off a very strong
concentrated flame. If your powder does that, it might cause the hole
where the fuse passes through to burn open a little more causing your
explosive to turn into an extremely strong lighter. Gun powder such as
smokeless powders are made of chemicals such as ethier and are therefore
more flammable. An example would be: if you were to pour a flammable liquid
on the ground such as ethier, gas, or acetone and lit it, it would all light
instantly with a great flash. If you were to light flash powder in the
same amount, it would take longer for the flash powder to spread along the
entire pile.
Now, you must always have a way of igniting the powder, a fuse.
For now I am only going to talk about non-electrical detonation. A fuse
is either flash powder rapped in a thin piece of paper or something similar
to the fuse I explained how to make in one of the above files in the
cookbook. The fuse must always be placed in the explosive without breaking
the airtightness of the container, which in some cases can be proven
difficult. Some ways of making the explosive airproof without having the
fuse all smashing in a crack is useing a thick, nonflammable powder. You
place this on top of the gunpowder on the end that will contain the fuse
hole. This will help keep the pressure inside of the container by blocking
it's path to the outside. It would have a tough time pressing all of that
powder through that little hole before it explodes. An example of this is
the sample perfume container bomb in one of the above files.
