*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* * ASSORTED EXPLOSIVES INFORMATION * *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Common Rocket Fuel ------------------ Materials: 1.) Potassium Nitrate (KNO ) or 3 "Saltpeter". This can be obtained from a drugstore, or ordered from a chemical supply house. 2.) Sugar (Powdered is the best) Procedure: 1.) Mix the two together 1/2 Nitrate and 1/2 Sugar. 2.) Take an old cooking pan, and melt the two together. There is NO way for it to ignite. 3.) It should turn into a fudgey looking compound. Pour this compound into a rocket engine such as a cardboard tube, and set a fuse into the compound and let the compound harden. Chlorate Mixtures ----------------- NOTE: The main ingredient for this experiment is potassium or sodium chlorate. Both of these will do equally well. However, both may prove difficult to find. Probably the only way to get it would be to order it through a chemical supply house. Materials: ---------- 1) Potassium chlorate or sodium chlorate. 2) Powdered charcoal 3) Powdered aluminum 4) Sulfur Procedure: ---------- NOTE: There is no set procedure for making chlorate mixtures. The only special thing ABOUT chlorate mixtures is that they have a chlorate in them. Experiment with diffiernt proportions of each of the ingredients. All of the chlorate mixtures I made had no set procedure and I just experimented with the proportions of each of the ingredients. Most of your mixture, however, should be potassium chlorate or sodium chlorate. 1) Make sure that you mix the sulfur and charcoal and aluminum first. You may grind these in a mortar and pestal to get a good mix of these ingredients. 2) Add potassium chlorate or sodium chlorate. Mix them VERY CAREFULLY in the mortar and pestal. DO NOT GRIND the mixture once the chlorate has been added or it will ignite and burn the shit out of you. 3) You now may use the mixture for whatever you want to. Chlorate mixtures are some of the best compositions there are and, in my experiences, they are the best except for model rocket propellant (procedure for making this is given later). ` Green Goddess ' ------------- Materials --------- 1.) Zinc (Zn) <---NOTE: This is not the same as Zinc Oxide! 2.) Sulfur (S) Procedure --------- 1.) Mix the two together 1/2 and 1/2. 2.) MAKE SURE that you mix them very well. The best way to do so, is to put the mixture in a jar with a lid and shake it up for 15-60 seconds, until it is all a greyish color. 3.) To ignite, use a fuse, or throw a match into the powder. WARNING, this burns very very quickly, and produces smoke. Also it burns at a fairly high temperature. It will surprise you when you throw a match into it. There will be a delay, and then all of a sudden, it will flash up, and is capable of burning the hell out of you. ======================================= Common Uses ----------- 1.) Rocket Fuel 2.) Bombs <--- NOTE: The best way to do this is to take it and compress it into cardboard tubing. 3.) Smoke bombs (Cardboard tube w/ big hole.) 4.) Flare bombs. 5.) The rest is up to your imagination GOOD LUCK! Nitrate Compound ---------------- Materials --------- 1.) Potassium Nitrate (KNO ) 3 2.) Aluminum Powder (dust) (Al) 3.) Sulfur (S) Procedure --------- 1.) Take 2 Tablespoons KNO 3 2.) 2 Tablespoons Al 3.) 1/2-1 Tablespoon S 4.) Mix and shake, until all is one solid color. Silver-grey. 5.) You can light this with a fuse or throw a match into it to light. You may experiment with the ratios. Here are a few tips: a.) To make more smoke add more sulfur to the mixture. b.) To make it burn slower, add more Potassium Nitrate. c.) To make it burn faster, add more Aluminum Dust. Have Fun Experimenting! ---------------------- ======================================= Uses ---- 1.) High power fuel 2.) Bombs 3.) Melting Mailboxes )(:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)( Rocket Fuel No.2 (high grade) ---------------- NOTE: This is the best composition for rocket fuel. It is one of the best compositions I have ever tried. Only mercury fulminate was better, and I don't care to describe that! Materials: ---------- 1) Model rocket engine (any engine will do, but the bigger ones like C or D engines are recommeded). 2) Hammer Procedure: ---------- 1) First, using the hammer, knock out the ceramic nozzle of the engine. The color of the nozzle is light gray. 2) When you start to see black grains in the gray of the nozzle powder, put the rocket engine in a shoe box or something else to catch the propellant. Now hit the engine with the hammer to get the propellant out (careful, not too hard). 3) When all the propellant has been removed and is in the shoe box, grains will be in size ranging from dust to pieces about 1/2 inch in size. You may take out the propellant and use it for whatever you wish. WARNING: DO NOT EVER GRIND THIS MIXTURE! It might explode in your face! Use it only in the form you got it from the engine. Also, since I don't know what model rocket propellant is made out of, I don't know how poisonous it is. As a rule, however, do not let it get on you and always wash after experiments with it (this is just a good procedure for any experi- ment dealing with chemicals). by: The Chemist Call The Works BBS - 1600+ Textfiles! - [914]/238-8195 - 300/1200 - Always Open
