AMMONIA TRI-IODIDE TOUCH EXPLOSIVE


AMMONIA TRI-IODIDE EXPLOSIVE

This is a good one, very easy to get ahold of the chemicals, and very
easy to make.
The only problem with it is that if you don’t know what you
are doing, or don’t follow
instructions, you could have a real mess on your
hands. This stuff is so damn sensitive (if
you use pure ingredients) when it
dries that it will blow up with the slightest touch.
Because of this, it is
fun to mess around with. Try putting it on the road or on people’s
doorsteps.
But DO NOT store this shit in your house, because it has the annoying

characteristic of blowing up for no apparent reason, and this is a high
explosive.
I
am going to explain the chemical process involved in making this
explosive, because I want
people to know what they are doing so that they
won’t end up in the hospital. The iodine
required is available at drug
stores and pharmacies, although you may need to sign for them.
(But what kind
of idiot would use thier real name?) You also will need ammonium hydroxide.

This is where making this stuff gets a little tricky, because you will
probably not
want to use pure ammonium hydroxide even if you can get your
hands on it. It is the purity of
the ammonium hydroxide which will determine
the sensitivity and strength of the explosive.
You can use household ammonia
water, but it has to be very strong, and it MUST BE CLEAR, NOT
CLOUDY! Cloudy
ammonia water contains soaps and other cleaning agents that will make a poor

quality explosive. Clear ammonia water usually contains enough ammonium
hydroxide that
it will make a good explosive. I use a janitor strength
from Ace hardware that does really
well. If you use pure, then don’t even
touch the stuff after it dries. Anyway, now I will
give you the formula
for the reaction so you know what happens.

4NH OH + 3I
-> 2NH NI + 4H O + 3H
4 2 3 3 2 2

So the ammonium hydroxide reacts with the
iodine to yield AMMONIA
TRI-IODIDE (explosive) plus water and hydrogen gas.
Of course
you can’t just throw the chemicals together randomly, so
I am going to give you the procedure
I use to make this stuff.
Take about two tablespoons of iodine crystals, and put it in a /> large (400-600 ml.) beaker. Then add about 100 ml of whatever ammonia water
you are using.
You should use an excess of ammonia, because if you use more
than you need it will not affect
the explosive, but if you don’t use enough,
the reaction will be incomplete. Then you should
let it sit for about ten
minutes, stirring a lot to make sure all of the iodine is exposed to
ammonium
hydroxide. It also helps to have very small crystals of iodine, even powder

if you can crush it small enough. You don’t have to be afraid of this stuff
blowing up on you
as long as it is wet, so it is safe to stir this. As the
reaction is taking place, you will
see tiny bubbles being given off. This is
the hydrogen. When these bubbles stop, the reaction
is pretty much over. I
suggest letting the mixture sit a few minutes afterwards, just to make
sure.
After the reaction is complete, you have to separate the explosive,
which
precipitates on the bottom of the beaker. This is easily done with
filter paper, or you can
even use a coffee filter. Just pour the whole
mixture through the filter paper and let the
liquid drain off.
Now let the explosive dry about an hour, or if you want to keep it

around for a while, make sure it is in an air tight container and stays cool.
Don’t store it
for too long, it will decompose slowly over time.
Remember, when it dries it is very
sensitive!

Have Fun,

    let the AMMONIA TRI-IODIDE EXPLOSIVE dry on sugar and leave it outside around flys, when they land on it to eat the sugar they explode.
