ANNM + H2SO4

[Harmluss]

Axt, what was the charge weights?

[tuipale]

to make this first make ANNM (mix ammonium nitrare 75% nitromethane 25%) on that "wax" you add few drops of sulfuric acid (100g of ANNM you add 10ml) make sure you do this carefully in less than 5 celcius (fridge) i recommend ice bath.

I need to know it, to ask to my science teacher..

[carlantoine94]

How mush ANNM and h2so4 do you need ?

[randyclar747]

What do you use for a container for main charge. Hopefully not anything that makes shrapnel.  I like duct taper, personally. Would this work?

[JohnAbaddon]

Is ANNM/H2SO4 more powerful than ANNM, ANNMAl or just more sensitive??

[chemicaltemptation]

ANNM = 6100m/s (solid explosive)

ANNMSA = 8100 m/s (liquid explosive)

[chemicaltemptation]

i'm not sure! but it won't be as sensitive as HMTD is. I got the facts from the instructions for making them ;)

[Assi2004]

ANNM is the liquid and ANNMSA the "solid"

you mixed them up...

[chemicaltemptation]

@Assi2004 ANNM is not liquid. AN is solid, NM is liquid, ANNM is a wet solid.

[Assi2004]

yes its not "liquid" - but its far from solid too

actually both ANNM and ANNMSA are more or less the same kind of state

tho ANNMSA is a bit more solid than ANNM :)

How much ANNM was detonated?

[ottanicubano88]

how many grams was the charges ?

[nitrardo]

Have you made other tests to see how much more powerful ANNMH2SO4 is compared to ANNM and ANNMAl? In this video it looks there´s a lot of difference. How about the sensitiveness to initialization, shock and stability?

[videodemolitions]

No it looks so dramatic because the ANNM at oxygen balance is saturated and only partially detonates. The theory was to produce NM/HNO3 explosive in situ held in matrix of sulphate crystals (effectively NM/HNO3 dynamite).

[nitrardo]

With this mix you will get a NM/HNO3/NH4NO3/NH4HSO4 dynamite as you said, but I think it should be much stronger than ANNM. Even the NH4HSO4 will work as an explosive in this condition. I will try some variants of that without the NM, just to make it cheaper for bigger charges. My idea is 60 NH4NO3 + 30 H2SO4 + 10 saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon.

[nitrardo]

I may try to use soy oil to replace the hydrocarbon but I will have to make a very little scale fist because it can easily attack the double C=C bound making nitro compounds and runaway, if not it will probably better than the hydrocarbon mix. I will try to find some time this week for it.

"Addition of sulphuric acid to saturated ANNM increases sensitrivity." and what about VoD?

I read a lot of your posts on sciencemadness about Unconventional Shaped Charges. Good work! That's a pitty that movies don't work now. BTW, I'm glad to see u back on yt:)

[antiswattt]

lol stop rating my comments bad :( btw astrolite G is also liquid explosive

[antiswattt]

maybe some HNO3/NM xP if im right thats the composition of some VERY powerful liquid explosive

[bustincapz]

your allways looking at pyro lol
