- Explosives Tutorial I-
Every person who make explosives should now everything in this file.
I will be explaining
generally how an explosive works and general saftey.
First of all if you wan’t to be an
"Explosives" professional one
day you must never call an Explosive a
"bomb". This is one way to tell the
difference between someone who is good with them
and someone who just
thinks he is. An explosive is a powerfull force. It can be used for
plain
fun and recreation or for deadly means. If you don’t show it respect it will
show
none to you. In other words if you toss them around and act like
thier nothing, you will
sometimes find that they will not always cooporate,
and possibly explode. You must always
treat the smallest explosive like it
is a block of C-4. If you do this you won’t beleive how
many accedents you
will save yourself from having. Even if you are carefull sometimes you
just
have bad luck and one goes off in your face. I had some touch sensitive
explosives
go off in my face, and trust me when I tell you it is an awakening
you will never forget!
Luckily it was not a high power explosive! Be Careful!
It is common sense not to stick you
head over something that is going to
flash or explode. This is the universal rule for high
explosives or any
that throw shrapnel…(If you can see it, it can kill you). So BEWARE!!!
is something that lets
off an enormus emount of energy at once. I’m not
a chemist so I don’t know how touch
explosives work, but I can give you
a basic runthrew on your standard pipebomb or CO2. The
explosive explodes
from internal pressure created by your explosive mixture such as gun
powder.
As you know gun powder does not explode, it burnes. Each of the little
grains of
gunpowder lets off about 4000 thousand times its own gas when
lit, causing the pressure to
build up rapid. The amount of pressure build
up all depends on what kind of mixture you use
and how thick your container
is. I use a very fast burning smokless gunpowder. 700X to be
exact.
Smokeless powders can sometimes prove to be better in some situations than
for
others. One thing is when the explosive goes off and it has somewhat
of a short fuse it will
not allow anyone to know the point of origin. If
you use black powder it produces a big
smokeball and can be seen instantly.
But, black powder is always fun to use if you are just
out to have fun and
aren’t trying to scare the crap out of someone who you don’t want to
get
caught by. Flash powder is not a very good powder for explosives. It does
burn quite
fast, but since it is such a fine grain powder, not all of it
has time to burn causing you to
waste great quanitys of it. Another reason
it is not the best for explosives is because it
lets off a very strong
concentrated flame. If your powder does that, it might cause the
hole
where the fuse passes through to burn open a little more causing your
explosive to
turn into an extremely strong lighter. Gun powder such as
smokeless powders are made of
chemicals such as ethier and are therefore
more flammable. An example would be: if you were to
pour a flammable liquid
on the ground such as ethier, gas, or acetone and lit it, it would all
light
instantly with a great flash. If you were to light flash powder in the
same
amount, it would take longer for the flash powder to spread along the
entire pile.
Now,
you must always have a way of igniting the powder, a fuse.
For now I am only going to talk
about non-electrical detonation. A fuse
is either flash powder rapped in a thin piece of paper
or something similar
to the fuse I explained how to make in one of the above files in the
the airtightness
of the container, which in some cases can be proven
difficult. Some ways of making the
explosive airproof without having the
fuse all smashing in a crack is useing a thick,
nonflammable powder. You
place this on top of the gunpowder on the end that will contain the
fuse
hole. This will help keep the pressure inside of the container by blocking
it’s
path to the outside. It would have a tough time pressing all of that
powder through that
little hole before it explodes. An example of this is
the sample perfume container bomb in one
of the above files.
