(How Nitro explodes--note that the byproducts are nothing but
nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water and oxygen)
Nitroglycerin [heretofore Nitro] is a very powerful high-
explosive. I am not sure who invented it but he probably
didn't-- the first person to make it probably blew himself up and
his freind got the info off his notes. Well anyway, the next best
thing to Nitro is TNT which is ten times harder to make but also
ten times safer to make. If you can't use common sense then dont
even TRY to make this stuff--a few drops can be lethal under
certain circumstances.
To make Nitro:
== ==== ======
Mix 100 parts fuming nitric acid (for best results it should
have a specific gravity of 50 degrees Baume') with 200 parts
sulphuric acid. This is going to be HOT at first--it won't
splatter if you pour the nitric INTO the sulphuric but don't try
it the other way around.
The acid solutions together can disolve flesh in a matter of
seconds so take the proper measures for God's sake!!! When cool,
add 38 parts glycerine as slowly as possible. Let it trickle down
the sides of the container into the acids or it won't mix
thourily and the reaction could go to fast--which causes enough
heat to ignite the stuff. Stir with a **GLASS** rod for 15
seconds or so then CARFULLY pour it into 20 times it's *VOLUME*
of water. It will visibly precipitate immediatly. there will be
twice as much Nitro as you used glycerin and it is easy to
separate. Mix it with baking soda as soon as you have separated
it-- this helps it not to go off spontainously.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
NOTES: Parts are by weight and the Baume' scale of spicific
gravity can be found in most chem. books. You ca get fuming
nitric and sulfuric acids wherever good chemicals or fertilizers
are sold. It is positivly *STUPID* to make more than 200 grams
of Nitro at a time.
When mixing the stuff wear goggles, gloves, etc. When I first
made the stuff I had the honor of having it go off by itself (I
added too much glycerine at a time.) I was across the room at
the time, but I felt the impact--so did the table it was on as
well as the window it was next to--they were both smashed by only
25 grams in an open bowl.
Oh, yes, glycerine you can get at any pharmacy and you need an
adult signature for the acids. Any bump can make Nitro go off if
you don't add the bicarbonate of (baking) soda--but even with
that, if it gets old I wouldn't play catch with it.
Once you have made the Nitro and saturated it with Bicarb.
you can make a really powerful explosive that won't go off by
itself by simply mixing it with as much cotton as you can and
then saturating that with molten ((parifine--just enough to make
it sealed and hard.
Typically, use the same amounts (by weight) of each Nitro, cotton
and parifine. This, when wrapped in newspaper, was once known as
"Norbin & Ohlsson's Patent Dynamite," but that was back in 1896.
