Now that the formalities are over with
let's get into the good stuff, so first off let's actually find out what
the definition of explosives is. A explosive is a substance or device capable
of producing a volume of rapidly expanding gas that exerts sudden pressure
on it's surroundings. Basically there are two types of explosives. (1)
Detonating or High Explosives (2) Deflagrating or Low Explosives The difference
here is that detonating explosives like TNT and Dynamite are characterized
by rapid decomposition and high pressure, wheras deflagrating explosives
lik black powder merely burn rapidly and create low pressures. However
as we all know black powder under certain conditions will detonate for
example if we pack it into a enclosed area such as a pipe or Co2 cannister.
Now the detonating explosives are divided into two types primary and secondary.
Primary explosives detonate by ignition i.e. a flame, spark, impact, or
other means of heat. Secondary explosives require a detonator and occassionally
a secondary booster. Now those are the basics, which should be remembered
and marked, as those terms will come back to haunt you. _____________________________________________________________________________

Gunpowder or Blackpowder as we will call it was most likely invented by
the Chinese around the 10th century. Blackpowder burns best when it is
fine, and the fineness is measured as F, 2F, etc.. The finest though is
7F and the least finest is F. Now I am about to teach you how to make an
excellent quality gunpowder. This is just short of factory 7FA po, which
is the best.
Materials Needed ---------------- Shaker
or Drink Mixer Morter and Pestle Sulphur Potassium Nitrate Charcoal (preferably
Matchlite, but any old charcoal will do) Graphite Ratios ------ 75% Potassium
Nitrate 15% Charcoal 10% Sulphur .5% Graphite (Half a pencil worth for
glazing only) Note : These ratios vary as more suplhur will slow down the
burning process, while more Potassium Nitrate will speed it up. Experiment
on your own and find out which ratios work best for you. (1) Grind the
Charcoal and Sulphur together into a very fine dust, and also note that
this cannot and will not explode, and also that it is sometimes best to
put the charcoal brickets in a plastic bag, and smash them with a brick
or other heavy object. (2) Next grind the Salt Peter or Potassium Nitrate
by *ITSELF* and not with the other two chemicals. Also note that this powder
must be the same consistancy as the first powder for optimum results. (3)
Now pour the Sulphur and Charcoal mixture in. Now pour the Salt Peter in.
Now add in a small amount of graphite that has been crushed finely. Now
put all this into your shaker, and shake vigorously for about 15 to 30
minutes. (Note the longer it is shaked the better quality) Now adding in
the graphite is a process is called glazing, and this done is because the
graphite forms a small film over the gunpowder and this also rounds out
the corners of the powder. Also the newly glazed gunpowder is more moisture
resistant, and it flows or is poured more easily as it doesn't stick as
much. Ignition -------- Black powder is relatively insensitive to shock
and friction, and needs a flame or heat to be ignited. This can be ignited
with a lighter, a red hot iron, a flame of any sort, or a fuse. The touch
iron is on of my favorites as it keeps a distace between you and the powder.

Inventor is most likely unknown, as
it most likely blew him to bits. Nevertheless Ascanio Sobrero is credited
for it's finding in 1846. Alfred Nobel worked extensively with it, and
sold his american holdings in Nitro for $20,000 in 1885. Obviously he was
screwed good and hard by american know how.
How the Explosion Occurs ------------------------
Ch2Ono2 3/2 N2 + 3 Co2 Chono2 -=-=-=-=-=-> + ignition 5/2 H20+ 1/4 02 This
is how nitro explodes, and you chemistry majors will notice that the bi-products
are Nitrogen, Water, and Carbon Dioxide. Materials --------- The materials
are not listed on this one as it is quite dangerous, and I want everyone
to read through it a few times before attempting anything. Procedure ---------
Mix 100 parts fuming nitric acid (note: this should have a specific gravity
of 50 degrees Baume for best results) with 200 parts Sulphuric Acid. The
Nitric acid should be poured into the sulphuric acid, and not the other
way around as it will splatter. This will be hot, so let it cool down,
and when its cool add 38 parts glycerine as SLOWLY as possible. The glycerine
should be allowed to trickle down the sides of the container, and don't
drip it straight into the container.(note: if glycerin is added too fast
then the stuff will ignite, and you will be eligible for the wheelchair
olympics) Next stir with a *GLASS* rod for 15 seconds so very carefully.
Now pour it into 20 times it's *VOLUME* of water. It will then visibly
precipitate immediatly. Now there will be twice as much Nitro as you used
glycerin, and it's easy to separate. Next mix it with baking soda immidiatly
after it's separated to keep it from going off spontaneously. Special Notes
- The parts are by weight and the Baume scale of specific gravity, which
can be found in most chemistry books. You can get fuming Nitric and Sulphuric
acids at chemical supply warehouses or fertilizer stores. Don't make more
than 100 grams at a time ever, and always wear some sort of body and eye
protection. Glycerin can be obtained at any pharmacy or medical supply
co. Also after it is washed with the baking soda it is not that stable,
and a abrupt bump or sharp movement can take off your hands. Also note
that nitroglycerin is much safer to handle frozen, and it freezes at 52
degrees farenheit or 11 degrees celcius. Therefore it can easily be frozen
in ice. Ignition -------- Well this one is easy drop it or throw something
at it. Also please remember that a loud fart could set this stuff off so
please please be careful. _____________________________________________________________________________

This was invented by Alfred Nobel in
1867. The first and easiest form to make is dynamite no.1, which is 75%
nitroglycerin and 25% guhr. Guhr is from kieselguhr a silicous porous earth.
This was used as it absorbed large quantities of nitroglycerin. It is no
longer used as the guhr draws some power from the explosion. Now the term
"dope" is applied to the inert ingridients of dynamite, so 30% straight
dynamite would be 70% dope. Get it? A better dope for dynamite is wood
pulp and sodium nitrate as an oxidizer. That in a 40% straight dynamite
ratio works excellently as an explosive. Materials --------- Nitrolglycerin
Wood Pulp Procedure --------- Is this simpler than you thought or what?
Well just mix in 60 percent wood pulp with 40% Nitroglycerin, and your
done. This mixture should be done with care, and just let the wood pulp
absorb the nitroglycerin. Note: There are many variations to this formula
as cotton would work in place of wood pulp etc... Almost anything that
will absorb the nitro will work, and it is best to experiment with.
Industrial Dynamite No. 2 -------------------------
68% Ammonium Nitrate 20% Sodium Chloride 10% TNT 2% Powdered Bark This
is the scale to follow for the making of a more modern dynamite, and this
is the ratio commonly used in industry. This is because around 1885 it
was found safer to use ammonium nitrate in place of nitro for obvious reasons.
This formula can be made in dry powdered form as the gelatin synthesis
pretty much requires a lab. If anyone has access to a lab leave me mail
and I will help you with any problems you might have. Also note that TNT
is trinitrotoluene, and the above ratios for this formula are by weight
not looks, but like gunpowder experiment and variate. Also when making
this formula follow the same procedures as you did with the gunpowder except
for the graphite. _____________________________________________________________________________

TNT is the most widespread weapon used
in shells grenades and a horde of mixtures. It is commonly mixed with RDX
for explosive devices such as the torpedo, cyclotol used for shattering
with a explosive power of 4,000,000 pounds per a square inch, and many
other uses. I however have not aquired the plans nor can figure out the
schematics for RDX. This one is kept from the public for obvious reasons
along with the C family i.e. C-1, C-3, C-4, etc... with C-4 being the most
popular. TNT is great it can be melted safely and poured into a future
container for later use. Well on with the procedure. Also note the melting
point of TNT is 82 degrees farenheit. Materials --------- Once again I
would much rather have you read through it, but not because it is dangerous,
because it is very very very difficult to make, and out of the twenty seven
times I have made it, it only worked twelve times. Also this will be done
step by step as it is much more difficult than nitro or dynamite. Procedure
--------- (1) Take two beakers, and in beaker A prepare a solution of 76%
sulfuric acid, 23% nitric acid, and 1% water. In beaker B prepare a solution
of 57% nitric acid and 43% sulfuric acid. (2) Ten grams of beaker A are
poured into beaker C and placed in a ice bath. (3) Add ten grams of toluene
to beaker C, and stir for several minutes. (4) Remove beaker C from the
ice bath and gently heat until it reaches 50 degrees Celcius, and stir
it constantly while it is heated. (5) Fifty additional grams of solution
from beaker A are added to beaker C and the temperature is allowed to rise
to 55 degrees celcius. Then it is held at 55 degrees celcius for ten minutes.
Note an oily liquid will begin to form on top of the acid solution. (6)
After 10 minutes the acid solution is returned to the ice bath, and cooled
to 45 degrees celcius when reaching this temp. the oily liquid will sink
to the bottom and collect. Then use a syringe and draw off the remaining
acid solution. (7) Fifty more grams of beaker A are added to the oily liquid
while the temp. is slowly being raised to 83 degrees celcius. After this
temp. is reached it is kept there at 83 degrees celcius for 30 minutes.
(8) Now the solution is allowed to cool to 60 degrees celcius, and is kept
at 60 degrees for 30 minutes. (9) Now drain off the acid once again saving
only the oily liquid. (10) Next 30 grams of sulfuric acid are added, while
the oily liquid is heated to 80 degrees celcius. (11) Now when it reaches
80 degrees add 30 grams of beaker B, and the temp. is raised from 80 degrees
to 104 degrees, and it is held at 104 degrees for 3 hours. (12) After the
3 hours, the solution is lowered to 100 degrees and is held there for 30
minutes. (13) When this time is up the oil is removed from the acid and
washed with boiling water. (14) After washing it with boiling water start
to stir it consistantly, and watch the TNT begin to solidify (15) When
it starts to solidify cold water is add to the beaker so that the tnt will
form into pellets. (16) Now your done after a quite long and trying expierience!
Notes: on the above the weights and temperatures and times are specific,
so don't blow them off or it wont work. Also the acid solutions here and
with the nitroglycerin can dissolve flesh in seconds so be careful for
gods sake! Also the TNT you have can be melted into a container for future
use against a well deserving enemy. Violent mixture next with TNT. See
it can already be used to make a dynamite, but we want something with a
little more kick than plain TNT or dynamite. Amatol ------ This is a mixture
of ammonium nitrate and TNT it is used by the government, and they're better
killers than me so it must be good. Amatol can be made very easily it can
be melted into the TNT, and then poured into a container. Ratios ------
80% Ammonium Nitrate 20% TNT or 50% Ammonium Nitrate 50% TNT The military
value of this mixture was used mainly in WWI (world war I for the morons)
it was used in artilley shells and aerial bombs. This composition is pretty
much good for any sort of devastating projectile per say the neighbors
house or car. Ohh well this looks like the end of The Book of Destruction
Part I, so take it easy and don't blow yourself up, so you can see The
Book of Destruction Part II (Intermidiate). Later... Jack the Ripper Please
