Methyl Nitrate 75g

It is just a little amount of explosive but MN is more powerful than nitroglycerin weight by weight.

That was realy well done beautiful!

@dascrazyhungarian

Thanks.

very nice... when mixed with Ammonium nitrate its more powerful then TNT

[adriiPortillo]

please PM me with more details about this detonation system.... Does this resistance detonates the MN vapors? What type of resistance do you mean? thnx...

[adriiPortillo]

now, there is a good explanation. I'm starting to like this MN. Im a fan of nitroesters, i like MHN a lot.

A detonation can occur thru different paths, if you can achieve higher expansion with a bigger detonator that means that smaller ones will cause incomplete detonation and the explosive will be less effective with it. Some explosives like NG are very dependent on the strength of the detonator while others like MN are not. Of course 10kg of NG will detonate the same way with a #1 and a #8 because a small portion of NG affected by the #1 will detonate the rest of the NG with great efficiency.

oh... i stand corrected. i was talking from personal experience.

altough.... does this mean that the lead block test can be used to determine if there is full detonation? or if the strength of the secondary HE depends also on the strength of the detonator ?? (i will go on the second option)

The following data for nitroglycerine for the net expansion in the lead block (with water tamping), obtained when detonators of different initiating strength were used, have been reported by Naoum:

detonator No. 1 190 cm3

detonator No. 2 225 cm3

detonator No. 6 460 cm3

detonator No. 8 590 cm3

Nitroglycol and methyl nitrate explode more completely even if initiated with weak initiation differing in this respect from nitroglycerine.

It was taken from Urbanski vol.2.

Dynamite maded from NG needs a #8 cap, but liquid pure NG will go on a #1.

You can detonate methyl nitrate without a cap, just put it inside a container and fill it to 2/3 with a electric wire and a resistance inside hanging over the free space. I have detonated MN a few times this way. I think it is more dangerous than NG because of its high volatility but it is really less sensitive to everything but heat and flame. Be aware, the high volatile and mobility are really great problems, it can slip from the containers and the vapor can easily detonated.
