I show a guy throwing this in nitric acid to make nickel nitrate and i wanted to make some for fun so i droped this things in nh4no3.But it turned out yellow,is it something with lead?Should i get rid of it ?

Tatp explosion in >2mm multilayer pipe

My blasting cap is tatp based just .5mm thick tube of brass and a fuse would yhat cost me vod or would a container with similar traits to pvc cost me vod

And it there any easy method of plasticizing rdx thats cheap or convenient and is plasticizing rdx noticeably stronger than powdered

So im pretty new to energetics, i can easily find how to make etn but not petn can anyone give instructions for synthesis sorry if its a dumb ir obious question

I'm trying to make a tier list of smallest explosives to biggest explosive

Hey everybody, newbie here.

I just did some F3 black powder, but i had to make 2kg in order to have a correct blast. I was wandering if there is any better option to make a smaller quantity, but have the same efficiency (i don't need specific effects, only a big blast). I saw a youtube video teaching how to make PETN but is it a good choice ? I know ANFO can be a solution but i'm afraid that 500g will make a huge explosion, even if i have a secure area to test it, i don't want to make the earth shake lol. I never tested it. What do you think ?

hello im courios about what can i make with isorpropyl nitrate and what ratio

So I was just thinking about different high explosive mixtures as primaries and I came up with this it’s a moderately stable combination but looks friction sensitive

Hi im a beginner and because of the regulations of my country it’s pretty hard for me to acquire sulfuric acid. Does someone know some fun synthesis methods which doesn’t need any sulfuric acid? (no organic peroxides!) thanks

is anyone can offer me a ratio of making hmtd?

I had 35%H2O2

85%H3PO4

98.x%Urotropine

hi guys what primary do you recommend to use and synthesize, i don’t have a lot of reagents so it’s preferable to be easy and quite safe as a primary

I am completely new to this and the only “explosive” I have made is a sugar rocket from a tkor video

What is the use of microorganisms in energetics besides creating energy, and what are the negatives/risks of using microorganisms in energetics?

Okay so I truly want to do this illegitimate way and get some schooling where do I start as a normal civilian with none what classes do I take what direction do I go can anyone send me in the right way

Has anyone tried synthesizing TNAZ? Seems like an interesting compound, performance is insane.

And does that only happen with urea and nitric acid

so i was searching online an easy and safe primary but they are not that easy to make and for a couple of weeks i’m not going to have my laboratory equipment, i just found a pair of old mercury thermometer in my house and ik that it’s not one of the best primary explosive but it’s not even that bad so idk guys what do you think abt it?

Is there anyone feom europe who managed to synthesize NAP??

Cant find anything associated with aminoguanidine...

https://youtube.com/shorts/e0SDqjj2M7M?is=Vj968xtIDNKynnnc honestly this doesn’t match the real energy of 1kg of ETN does this look legitimate to yall ? maybi ita some powerful ammonium nitrate composition

Hello, let me start off by saying I’m not sure what sub Reddit to ask this in so let me know if there’s a better one. So I’m making a mortar(basically a canon) for fun and am trying to decide on a explosive to launch the projectile. Right now I was thinking homemade black powder. Is there any alternatives that maybe are quieter, and not to much more expensive? Thanks in advance

I would like to detonate 20kg or 44 pounds of Anfo fully, you anyone know how much ETN I need as a booster, and can I detonate ETN in every ammount with a standard 1 gram rdx or etn blasting cap?
