has anyone had any luck detonating hdn?? and if so were the results good?

[crazyboy0602]

No I haven't tried but I suspect it would need a rather large cap.

Cool, I'm going to make this with a nitrate salt method. I see the detonation velocity is around 6000m/s which is pretty good. How large of a cap will i need to detonate it using TATP for example? Also what are your yields like? (in %%%)

[crazyboy0602]

Not sure I don't have enough room to det at the moment. I suggest straight acid, even HCl will do, yields are very high sorry I don't know the percent.

Have you made Urea Nitrate, just out of interest?

I seem incapable of deflagerating it, unless kept in direct flame...

Any ideas people?

[crazyboy0602]

No I haven't and that's because it won't deflagrate, it detonates with a fairly large cap.

can anyone tell me where to get HDN? ive been looking for ever and i cant find hexamine tablets  which i guess would be the easiest source

[Spartan117A1]

HDN isn't very useful is it ? The only use i know for it is the synthesis of RDX

[mattepress]

if i burn i piece of paper it burn three time more...

[Deathsurvivor1]

i think it isnt weak.... 6500-7000 m per second?!

...strong explosive like rdx i think :D

[arkfussion]

i couldnt achieve det with TATP 70-30 mixture. have you been succesful?

Holy-Terrorist:>The hexamine with low nitration, obtened HDN, and HDN in the high nitration for obtened RDX
