The Problems With Nitroglycerin
|
|
|
|
The follwoing is a part of the file TERROR.DOC describing how to make
|
|
Nitro-Glycerin. It is extremely important that you DO NOT make this stuff.
|
|
I have tried and I must say that it worked... it scared the crap out of me
|
|
when it went off while using an eye dropper to pick it up (that eye dropper
|
|
no longer exists:), but it works. So don't do this PLEASE!

3.13 NITROGLYCERINE
|
|
|
|
Nitroglycerine is one of the most sensitive explosives, if it is not the
|
|
most sensitive. Although it is possible to make it safely, it is difficult.
|
|
Many a young anarchist has been killed or seriously injured while trying to
|
|
make the stuff. When Nobel's factories make it, many people were killed by
|
|
the all-to-frequent factory explosions. Usually, as soon as it is made, it
|
|
is converted into a safer substance, such as dynamite. An idiot who attempts
|
|
to make nitroglycerine would use the following procedure:
|
|
|
|
MATERIAL EQUIPMENT
|
|
distilled water eye-dropper
|
|
table salt 100 ml beaker
|
|
sodium bicarbonate 200-300 ml beakers (2)
|
|
concentrated nitric ice bath container
|
|
acid (13 ml) ( a plastic bucket serves well )
|
|
concentrated sulfuric centigrade thermometer
|
|
acid (39 ml) blue litmus paper
|
|
glycerine
|
|
|
|
1) Place 150 ml of distilled water into one of the 200-300 mlbeakers.
|
|
|
|
2) In the other 200-300 ml beaker, place 150 ml of distilled waterand about
|
|
a spoonful of sodium bicarbonate, and stir them until the sodium
|
|
bicarbonate dissolves. Do not put so much sodium bicarbonate in the water
|
|
so that some remains undissolved.
|
|
|
|
3) Create an ice bath by half filling the ice bath container with ice, and
|
|
adding table salt. This will cause the ice to melt, lowering the overall
|
|
temperature.
|
|
|
|
4) Place the 100 ml beaker into the ice bath, and pour the 13 ml of
|
|
concentrated nitric acid into the 100 ml beaker. Be sure that the beaker
|
|
will not spill into the ice bath, and that the ice bath will not overflow
|
|
into the beaker when more materials are added to it. Be sure to have a
|
|
large enough ice bath container to add more ice. Bring the temperature of
|
|
the acid down to about 20 degrees centigrade or less.
|
|
|
|
5) When the nitric acid is as cold as stated above, slowly and carefully add
|
|
the 39 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid to the nitric acid. Mix the two
|
|
acids together, and cool the mixed acids to 10 degrees centigrade. It is
|
|
a good idea to start another ice bath to do this.
|
|
|
|
6) With the eyedropper, slowly put the glycerine into the mixed acids, one
|
|
drop at a time. Hold the thermometer along the top of the mixture where
|
|
the mixed acids and glycerine meet.
|
|
DO NOT ALLOW THE TEMPERATURE TO GET ABOVE 30 DEGREES CENTIGRADE!
|
|
IF THE TEMPERATURE RISES ABOVE THIS TEMPERATURE, RUN LIKE HELL!!
|
|
The glycerine will start to nitrate immediately, and the temperature will
|
|
immediately begin to rise. Add glycerine until there is a thin layer of
|
|
glycerine on top of the mixed acids. It is always safest to make any
|
|
explosive in small quantities.
|
|
|
|
7) Stir the mixed acids and glycerine for the first ten minutes of nitration,
|
|
adding ice and salt to the ice bath to keep the temperature of the
|
|
solution in the 100 ml beaker well below 30 degrees centigrade. Usually,
|
|
the nitroglycerine will form on the top of the mixed acid solution, and
|
|
the concentrated sulfuric acid will absorb the water produced by the
|
|
reaction.
|
|
|
|
8) When the reaction is over, and when the nitroglycerine is well below 30
|
|
degrees centigrade, slowly and carefully pour the solution of
|
|
nitroglycerine and mixed acid into the distilled water in the beaker in
|
|
step 1. The nitroglycerine should settle to the bottom of the beaker, and
|
|
the water-acid solution on top can be poured off and disposed of. Drain as
|
|
much of the acid-water solution as possible without disturbing the
|
|
nitroglycerine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
10) When the nitroglycerine is as acid-free as possible, store it in a clean
|
|
container in a safe place. The best place to store nitroglycerine is far
|
|
away from anything living, or from anything of any value. Nitroglycerine
|
|
can explode for no apparent reason, even if it is stored in a secure cool
|
|
place.
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is a fairly good procedure, but it has a couple flaws in it that could
|
|
very well kill you or injure you.
|
|
|
|
1. Step #9 is missing! And it's an important step too! What Step #9 should
|
|
say is that you should neutralize the nitro with the Sodium Bicarbonate
|
|
solution by taking the nitroglycerin out of the one beaker and putting it
|
|
into the beaker with the Sodium Bicarbonate in it. Allow it to sit there
|
|
for a while and then take it out and test the nitro with blue litmus
|
|
paper. If the paper turns red, put it back in the Sodium Bicarbonate for
|
|
a while longer. Keep checking it until the litmus paper doesn't turn red
|
|
any more. When it no longer turns red, the Nitro is neutralized.
|
|
|
|
2. The author of the above seems to think that storing Nitroglycerin is
|
|
ok if it's in a clean container where it's cool... FUCK NO! Never
|
|
store this stuff! It is way too unstable to store anywhere! Always
|
|
use it right away.
|
|
|
|
If you are crazy enough to do this (like I was:) do it in small amounts!
|
|
And when I say small, I mean SMALL!!! Like only make maybe 1 drop of
|
|
Nitroglycerin by adding only 1 drop of glycerine to the acid solution!
|
|
And even then, dillution of the glycerin is a good idea (it will make it
|
|
easier to come out of the eye dropper too since straight glycerin is very
|
|
sticky). And when you've made the stuff, have some sawdust or something
|
|
nearby for the nitro to soak in to. Then take the sawdust and detonate it.
|
|
You are talking about some very dangerous stuff here, no joke!
|
|
|
|
Personally, I'll never make the stuff ever again... well... unless I had
|
|
better equipment :)
