AMMONIUM NITRATE AND LAUGHING GAS
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Some Militants who don't have much
|
||
|
||
dynamite use ammonium nitrate. This
|
||
|
||
can be bought by anyone at $3.75 for
|
||
|
||
an 80 pound bag (old price). It is a
|
||
|
||
fertilizer. Ammonium Nitrate explodes
|
||
|
||
at rates up to 14,000 feet per second.
|
||
|
||
It is roughly compared to dynamite
|
||
|
||
having 60% nitro.
|
||
|
||
The fertilizer grade Militants use is
|
||
|
||
mized with motor oil at the ratio of
|
||
|
||
one pint of oil to 8.5 pounds of
|
||
|
||
Ammonium nitrate. This has to be
|
||
|
||
detonated with a stick of gelatin
|
||
|
||
dynamite.
|
||
|
||
Purified ammonium nitrate can be
|
||
|
||
detonated with a number 6 dynamite cap.
|
||
|
||
The pure stuff can be bought at
|
||
|
||
chamical supply houses or the fertilizergrade can be purified with distilled
|
||
|
||
wood alcohol.
|
||
|
||
Put several pounds of fertilizer grade
|
||
|
||
ammonium nitrate in a pan. Pour in
|
||
|
||
enough wood alcohol (methanol) to cover
|
||
|
||
the fertilizer. Then stir it until a
|
||
|
||
lot has dissolved. Next, let it set a
|
||
|
||
few minutes to allow the impurities to
|
||
|
||
settle to the bottom along with the
|
||
|
||
undissolved ammonium nitrate.
|
||
|
||
Another pan is set on some pieces of
|
||
|
||
dry ice for the next step. The
|
||
|
||
ammonium nitrate is poured into the cold pan. This is done carefully so as to
|
||
|
||
leave the inpurities and undissolved
|
||
|
||
ammonium nitrate behind.
|
||
|
||
The dry ice causes the purified
|
||
|
||
ammonium nitrate to precipitate out of
|
||
|
||
the solution in crystals. When no more
|
||
|
||
crystals are formed they are removed
|
||
|
||
from the alcohol.
|
||
|
||
The alcohol is then poured back into
|
||
|
||
the other pan and stirred to dissolve
|
||
|
||
and ammonium nitrate left undssolved.
|
||
|
||
After setting a few minutes the solutionis again poured off the dregs and the
|
||
|
||
dregs are thrown away. When the last
|
||
|
||
batch of crystals is removed, the
|
||
|
||
alcohol can be stored and reused.
|
||
|
||
In order for pure ammonium nitrate to
|
||
|
||
be detonated by a dynamite cap, it must
|
||
|
||
be very dry. Spread it out under a
|
||
|
||
heat lamp or in the sun. When
|
||
|
||
completely dry store in tightly closes
|
||
|
||
plastic bags.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
As a special treat for the party
|
||
|
||
animals in the audience and since
|
||
|
||
ammonium nitrate has bene on your
|
||
|
||
minds for a few minutes, you might as
|
||
|
||
well learn how to make laughing gas
|
||
|
||
from ammonium nitrate.
|
||
|
||
Laughing gas was one of the earliest
|
||
|
||
anaesthetics. After a little while of
|
||
|
||
inhaling the gas the patient became so
|
||
|
||
happy he couldn't keep from laughing.
|
||
|
||
Finally he would drift off into a
|
||
|
||
pleasant sleep.
|
||
|
||
Some do-it-yourselfers have died while
|
||
|
||
taking laughing gas. This is because
|
||
|
||
they had generated it through plastic
|
||
|
||
bags while their heads were inside.
|
||
|
||
They simply suffocated, but to too
|
||
|
||
wasted to even realize that.
|
||
|
||
The trick is to have a plastic clothes
|
||
|
||
bag in which you generate a lot of the
|
||
|
||
gas. Then you stop generating the gas
|
||
|
||
and holda small opening of the bag
|
||
|
||
under your nose, getting plenty of
|
||
|
||
oxygen in the meantime. Then whee!!
|
||
|
||
To make it you start with pure
|
||
|
||
ammonium nitrate from a chemical supply
|
||
|
||
store, or homemade purified stuff.
|
||
|
||
First, dissolve a quantity of ammonium
|
||
|
||
nitrate in some water. Then you
|
||
|
||
evaporate the water over the stove,
|
||
|
||
while stirring, until you have a heavy
|
||
|
||
brine. When nearly all the moisture
|
||
|
||
is out it should solidify instantly
|
||
|
||
when a drop is put on an ice cold metal
|
||
|
||
plate. When ready, dump it all out on a
|
||
|
||
very cold surface and store it in a
|
||
|
||
bottle.
|
||
|
||
A spoonful is put into a flask with a
|
||
|
||
one hole stopper, with a tube leading
|
||
|
||
into a big plastic bag. The flask is
|
||
|
||
heated with an alcohol lamp.
|
||
|
||
When the temperature in the flask
|
||
|
||
reaches 480F the gas will generate. If
|
||
|
||
white fumes appear the heat should be
|
||
|
||
lowered as the stuff explodes at 600F.
|
||
|
||
When the bag is filled, stop the action
|
||
|
||
and get ready to turn on.
