Smokeless powder is the strongest of the so called low power explosives and is
|
||
also one of the most stable. It is much stonger black powder. It is also rela-
|
||
tively easy to make. Which makes it one of the most popular explosives today.
|
||
|
||
Instructions : Making Smokeless Powder
|
||
|
||
1. Boil cotton for 30 minutes, in a 2% solution of sodium hydroxide.
|
||
|
||
2. Wash the cotton in hot water and allow to dry.
|
||
|
||
3. Mix slowly and carefully at 25 de- grees centigrade, 250 cc. of concen-
|
||
trated sulfuric acid, 150 cc. of con- centrated nitric acid, and 20 cc. of
|
||
water. They must be kept at 25 degrees C.
|
||
|
||
4. Next place the dried cotton in the acid solution, and stir well with
|
||
either a glass or porcelain rod. DO NOT use a metal one! This should be done
|
||
for 35 minutes.
|
||
|
||
5. After nitration the acids are washed away, and the cotton is wahed in
|
||
boiling water 5 times, each time for 25 minutes. The cotton is given several
|
||
tests with litmus paper. If any of the acids are present, a 2% sloution of
|
||
sodium bycarb- onate shoud take care of what ever is left. This is important
|
||
since any acids left act as an impurity to the explo- sive making it more
|
||
unstable.

||

||
Well that is up to you. I should mention that you need to be careful when
|
||
using this since it is extremely powerful and very dangerous. If you have not
|
||
had any experience in these matters do not attempt to make it.
