  • Nice charge. Have you noticed any issues with mixing ammonium nitrate and powdered magnesium? The oxide layer that forms on Mg isn't passive like that of Al, so I would expect such a composition to become dangerously sensitive in the presence of any moisture, and we all know that AN is very hygroscopic.

  • @CanadianPyro1 Thanks... No I haven't. This is the first time I mixed Mg into AN, and I made it the night before I used it, and there was no indication of any reaction, but that doesn't mean there wasn't one. Potassium dichromate would passivate the Mg effectively, Although I've never tried it.

  • Kick-ass!

    Good job man.

  • @ExothermicVideos Thank you!

  • @CanadianPyro1 это не является проблемой если хранить состав герметично и в холодильнике))

  • @dawson01912 He's referring to an ammonium perchlorate/aluminum composition. Unlike alkali perchlorates, AP is capable of detonation and is actually more sensitive and powerful than AN based Ammonal. But I agree, straight AN/Al doesn't need a booster at all.

  • @TracerRound32

    That makes a ton more sense. Save you the time.

  • @dawson01912 Well, the ammonal detonated just fine actually. And the perchlorate booster is more sensitive than the ammonal! next time though, I'll put the blasting cap in the ammonal.

  • @TracerRound32

    No I don't know that. Perchlorate booster....maybe that's why it look s like ammonal didin't do anything. Just 1g TATP by itself would have a better chance of setting off ammonal than 20g of flash powder.
