Beside the name of the article is a + - or =. A + means the file is good,...

Oxygen Balance

Oxygen balance is an expression that is used to indicate the degree to which an explosive can be oxidized. If an explosive molecule contains just enough oxygen to convert all of its carbon to carbon dioxide, all of its hydrogen to water, and all of its metal to metal oxide with no excess, the molecule is said to have a zero oxygen balance. The molecule is said to have a positive oxygen balance if it contains more oxygen than is needed and a negative oxygen...

Oxy/acetylene Balloons

by nitrox

If you want a real bang - mix approximately equal mixtures of oxygen and acetylene into a balloon and tie the end off. Either use a petrol or gunpowder fuse, just make sure you have got enough time to get well back! For a bit of excitment, put two or three balloons under a drum, 44 gal (200L- Australia) and a chook or two, add a twenty foot petrol fuse, ignite, stand back, watch drum reach about 200' and see a very startled chook...

Mononitrotoluene

Mononitrotoluene, or so I think, I made it using this lab:

Outline

Despite what some preceding documents may have stated, crude 2,4,6 TriNitroToluene can be prepared from less concentrated, more commonly available, easily produced acids. The process is a modified three step nitration, whereby Toluene is converted into MonoNitroToluene, Dinitro, and finally Trinitro by the addition of fresh portions of Mixed Nitric/Sulfuric...

Mines

by PrimoPyro

This file contains information on making a replica of a German WWII mine known as a pepper pot. This mine was not intended to kill the enemy but wound him by blowing off his foot. The Germans made these in great quantity and put them to good use. The mine was made out of glass and plastic with very little metal and was hard to find with a mine detector. If you desire to make these mines you could use PVC for the casing or metal if you...
