How To Make Blasting Gelatin
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
One of the nearly perfect explosive compounds, in the sense of
|
|
chemical combustion rather than stability, is blasting gelatin. This was
|
|
discovered by Nobel, and is a very primitive form of plastique, as we know
|
|
it today. It is made by mixing a small amount of nitrocellulose (nitrated
|
|
sawdust) with a larger amount of nitroglycerin. This creates a stiff, plastic
|
|
substance which has power as an explosive greater than either of its
|
|
ingredients. A person attempting to make this should use 92% nitroglycerin
|
|
and 8% nitrocellulose, and pray. If you don't want to mess with making
|
|
nitrocellulose and have access to guncotton, it can be substituted. Any
|
|
recipe listed in this chapter which employs unstable or sensitive compounds,
|
|
such as nitroglycerin, should be left alone by all those who do not have
|
|
access to a laboratory or previous training. This book (disk) is not enough
|
|
training to mess with these compounds.
