- Making Explosives Report #1
- by: Blackbolt
-
- This is the first of several reports on the building of
- explosives from commonly available materials. Some basic
- preparations are discussed in this report that I feel
- everyone has the right to know, despite itsdestructive
- nature. This report will be followed by others relating to
- the same subject.
-
- Nitric Acid
- The first thing we will discuss is the making of nitric
- acid. This is the one ingredient in many high explosive
- compounds that will be the most difficult to get your hands
- on. Some chemical companies sell this acid, but they insist
- on sending it motor freight, so it costs a bundle just to
- get the stuff to your house. Besides, if you ordered it, the
- government would know you had it and that is not good (They
- know just as well as I do what some ordinary guy wants to do
- with nitric). The first step in making the acid is to obtain
- the needed materials: Battery acid (Auto parts store)
- Potassium nitrate (Drug or fertilizer
- store)
- Two glass jugs (Juice jars, etc.)
- Some rags (Old clothes)
- Some tape, NOT
- cellophane (Duct tape, etc.)
- Heat source (Fire, Torch, etc.)
- Water (The faucet, dummy)
- The first thing you need to do is to concentrate the battery
- acid (Sulpheric acid). To do this, just boil the acid until
- dense, white fumes appear, and no it is not fun to breath
- them (At ALL), so don't do it. You will need equal
- quantities of acid and granulated pottasium nitrate. Put the
- two chemicals into one jar and then press the other jar's
- mouth to the filled jar's mouth and wrap the joint with
- rags. Next, wrap the rag joint with tape. Then lay the
- assembly horizontal and raise the filled bottle above the
- empty bottle. Next, apply heat to the filled bottle until
- red fumes appear, then pour water over the empty bottle.
- Continue this procedure until there is you have about as
- much condensed liquid as the amount of sulpheric acid that
- you put in. Let the assembly cool, throw away the rags and
- tape and pour out the condensed liquid, this is your nitric
- acid.
- Nitroglycerin
- Nitroglycerin is one of the first popular high explosive
- compounds that came into use. It is very sensitive
- when frozen and causes headaches when absorbed through skin.
- Nitroglycerin (Nitro) is oxygen positive, which means it
- releases oxygen when it decomposes. It is also the explosive
- ingredient in dynamite. Nitroglycerin, like all high
- explosives requires a detonator to set it off, so don't run
- off and try to light it with a match. However, a good way to
- test any homemade explosive brew is to put a teeny drop on
- an anvil and then hit it with a hammer. The procedure to
- manufacture the oily substance is pretty easy to follow,
- but the directions must be followed exactly. Use a
- stainless steel thermometer to keep immersed in the
- nitration vessel at all times, and if at any time the
- temperature goes above 20 degrees C, or if red fumes
- appear dump the entire mixture into a large volume
- of cold water. If this is not done, an unpleasant accident
- will occur and I can assure you that it would not be very
- enjoyable to be anywhere nearby if this happened. The first
- step is to obtain equal amounts of concentrated supheric
- acid and concentrated nitric acid. Pour the nitric into the
- nitration vessel and then pour the SULPHERIC INTO THE
- NITRIC. Mix and let cool before proceeding. Next, add
- glycerin drop by drop into the acids. It is a good practice
- to have the nitration vessel sitting in a container of cold
- water. Also, stir the mix constantly as you add the glycerin.
- After you have added about 1/6 the volume of the mixed acids of
- glycerin, slowly pour the whole mix into about 10 times its
- volume of cold water. You will see a layer of oil form in the
- bottom of the water container, this is your nitro. First, pour off
- as much excess liquid as you can without losing any nitro. Then
- pour in more water to restore the fluid to its original volume, then
- pour off again. Repeat this procedure at least 4 times. Make sure you
- end up with the container holding the original volume, then
- neutralize the solution with potassium carbonate (Preffered), or
- sodium bicarbonate. Don't add too much. After neutralization, let the
- mixture settle and then suck the nitro off the bottom with a turkey
- baster. Store it out of the light in a plastic or glass container.
- Then wash your hands, crack open a beer, turn on the TV, and
- congratulate yourself for making your first nitro!
-
- Have fun, be careful, and keep your eye out for more of these
- reports
