r/energetics
We have a problem. Dugan Ashley has been arrested on some bullshit charges.
When the failed New Orleans attack happened a little over a week after dug's TMTN video we did some digging and found the Al Queda video the guy actually used. That's why he didn't know he needed a detonator. This is so fucked.
Has anyone tried nitrourea?
There are no videos of nitrourea being tested on the internet as to my experience and it is a simple and straight forward(and cheap!) compound to make. Has anyone tried this compound ? How good is it in performance ?
What energetic compounds have you ever synthesized so far?
What compounds have you synthesized ? And what is your preferred compound?(Primary ,secondary)
Peroxides
First of all to clear all things i did not have any accident and I stopped making energetics
So, i know a lot of people make peroxides even though everyone says no, and because i know that whatever others say ,some will still make them ( i also did). So i want to give some tips
Even tho i only made them 2-3 times I had read a lot
In the synthesis: Yeah keep them cold , the more cold the more stable. My temperature never reached more than 5c . Something else is that some idiots tell you that <<dont use too concetrated HP its gonna make big crystals >> dont listen to these MFs , i tried it , i had 35% HP and diluted it to about 15% . The crystals were biiiiiig. Btw in my first synth they were stable and generaly very good . The second one that i heard the idiots and the crystals were big it was the most sensitive shit ive ever seen , i wanted to test the impact sensitivity and the time i touched them with a hammer that was almost not moving it went BOOOM. Yeah got really scared of it and got rid of it.
How to know if its good: You need your crystals to be like powder thats sitting in the bottom of the container( while in liquid form). The bad one will have some big ass crystals floating ( i gotta say mine looked like small flowers floating )
Shout out to the person i was talking to in reddit and told me that the faster the reaction the smaller the crystals, thats why you need high conc HP👍
Like i did some bad things with the good batch to test the sensitivity and it was good
In my first synth i made 1g , in my second i made 3g. Dont go over 5g if you dont know what you are doing ( i would say dont go over 5g even if you know what you are doing) and also split them while still wet. Because if any of you are stupid enough to make 15-20g and smth for some reason go wrong goodbye hand and hearing. With 3-5 g of them you can make 6-10 500mg caps, like you are good.
I also made a cap with them . Some may make fun of me but idc . Some people wear welding gloves , i wore some goalkeeper gloves and some other type of gloves on the inside and NEVER come on direct contact with the cap, like hold it with something else , no need to risk your fingers. All this to make a 400mg cap , this sound small but will fuck your fingers pretty good
🆘🆘i am not encouraging anyone to make them or have any responsibility ( just for the stupid ones like me who are gonna do this anyway )🆘🆘 just use your brain 👍
I just want to save some fingers and someones day 👍
Be safe ❤️
( Btw i made T*TP)
White lightning composition?
Hey there. Does anybody happen to know what the hell Tannerite White Lightning rimfire targets are made of? I know that it is aluminum and either potassium perchlorate or AN, but there is also something mixed in with the oxidizer that looks like smokeless powder. Also it's a lot more aluminum to oxidizer ratio than regular Tannerite and honestly seems way more powerful gram for gram. tested them out and honestly I was expecting it to be more like flash powder but holy shit, it is a legit detonation with very little confinement.
Any insight would be awesome because it's really hard to find white lightning anywhere near me so if I was able to make it myself that would be sweet. I could buy regular Tannerite but it's more fun plinking with a .22
Hi guys, sorry to bother with this crap, but I want your opinion on this fragmentation.
1mm copper pipe 0.7g secret mix initiated by fuse, buried 30cm. About the mix, if it did indeed detonate and anyone is interested I will reveal it in a later post, I don't want opinions to be biased by the composition. Thanks in advance!
M57 “clacker” dimensions
I wanted to try building my own clacker. So far I’ve been unable to find any schematics or dimensions for the internal mechanism.
If anyone who owns one would be willing, could you measure some of the internals like the spool, lever, stator, etc. and share the dimensions?
It’s a clever little device, and from the looks of it, it shouldn’t be hard to reverse engineer with the correct measurements.
Hi guys, this time i casted a lead slab, it measures roughly 1cm where the charge was attached, unlike last time, i pressed the flash powder type composition to a higher density and it seems to be stronger, i didn't expect that.
2g of the composition were pressed in same copper tube. Still not sure if it is a det or not but it's definitely stronger, the fragments are smaller.
For reference of size of fragments, the longest one is 3.2cm long.
Alternate uses for nano2
If someone acquired nano2 for experimenting with tmtn and changed their mind, what would the most interesting alternate uses be? Besides selling it to you.
Azides?
Na-Chlorate cell Question (Ph wont go down)
I have had 3 different sodium chlorate cells
The first one was with 2 carbon fiber electrodes from ali express xD. They corroded and lost conductivity.
The second one was with a high purity graphite anode (14mm x 100mm) and a stainless steel cathode with smaller surface area. The pH literally wouldn't go down, Even with addition of HCL. That cell was running on 0.5-1.2a.
The third one (my current cell) has both the anode and cathode as Graphite. (14mm x 100mm) But this time its running on 1.5-2a because i suspected that the cell wasn't hot enough. The electrodes has held up surprisingly well. There is still carbon particles in the solution but i filter it off every 48H. The pH is still high on this one.. even with HCl addition. Im talking ph between 10-13
How could this be? I have tried to find info about this but i cant find anything about this problem.
My current cell is 200ml, Good seal with a gas tube. Maybe im measuring the ph wrong or the cell is tricking the ph paper?
I sent this link to see if anyone knows how this fuse is made
Its in the 40 sec of the video
I believe that he said that its home made
What AN mixtures can be initiated with ONLY a blasting cap except ammonal (in case you are out of AL) , ANNM , and mixtures with NG and EGDN
Can this weird mixtures with orange peel that energetic heretic made work ?
Btw i got some TACN that could work as a booster
(When i am saying blasting cap i mean only a primary explosive )
I have 500 g of tetramethylammonium chloride (TMACl) and would like to produce some tetramethylammonium nitrate (TMAN) and tetramethylammonium perchlorate (TMAP) for pyrotechnic experiments.
As I understand, metathesis with ammonium perchlorate is pretty straight forward because of the low solubility of TMAP but TMAN is generally more tricky because of its high solubility.
Using silver nitrate would probably be a very efficient route to TMAN but feels like a waste of money.
Could dissolving TMACl and ammonium nitrate in correct proportions and a minimum of hot water, followed by the addition of isopropanol, cooling and several washings with cold methanol get rid of the traces of the metathesis byproduct ammonium chloride?
In case anyone is interested, there’s a sporting goods supplier based out of AK that has 2lb pro cure Sodium Nitrite in stock for ~$20 a pop.
I’ve been watching for like a year now, and this is the first I’ve been able to find it somewhere that has it in stock and will ship.
