dioxide, water and oxygen)
|
|
|
|
Nitroglycerin [heretofore Nitro] is a very high-explosive. I am not sure
|
|
who invented it but he porbably didn't-- the first preson to make it blew
|
|
himself up and his friend 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 don't 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 dissolve 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 fast--which causes heat to ignite the
|
|
stuff. Stir with a **GLASS** rod for about 15 seconds or so then **CAREFULLY**
|
|
pour it into 20 times it's **VOLUME** of water. It will visibly precipate
|
|
immediatly. There will be twice as much Nitro as you used glycerin and it is
|
|
easy to seperate. Mix it with baking soda as soon as you have seperated it--
|
|
this helps it not to go off spontainously.

|
|
NOTES: Parts are by weight and the Baume' scale of specific gravity can be
|
|
found in most chem. books. You can get fuming nitric and sulfuric acid where
|
|
ever goo chemical 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 glycerin 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 adults sigature 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 add and then saturating it 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.
