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
|
|
nse then dont even TRY
|
|
to make this stuff--a few drops can
|
|
bbcircumstances.
|

|
|
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
|
|
can 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.
