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
