Nitroglycerin
Nitroglycerin (sometimes called nitro) is the original high explosive. It’s dangerous, unstable, and powerful. Making it at home is very dangerous, and the best thing to do with it is to convert it to dynamite immediately. Nitroglycerin, like most high explosives, is made by a procedure called nitration, which is a very tricky process. If you do decide to make it, use extreme caution.
Materials:
• Concentrated sulfuric acid. (Full strength.)
• Concentrated nitric acid. (Full strength.)
• Glycerin. (Rather hard to find.)
• Baking soda.
• Ice, salt, water. (For an ice bath.)
Equipment:
• Metal bucket.
• Glass beakers.
• ACCURATE thermometer, capable of measuring temperature in degrees Celsius.
• Clean eyedroppers.
Procedure:
1. Make an ice bath by dumping a bunch of ice and water into the bucket. Stick the beaker into the ice (make sure it stays there). You can add a little salt into the ice water to lower the temperature more. The temperature is important here, so have lots of ice handy.
2. Pour 13 ml of nitric acid into the beaker. Then add 63 ml of sulfuric acid. Do this carefully, because the acid likes to splatter when you mix them. Stick the thermometer in there too, and let it cool down to about 20 degrees ( C ) or so.
3. Take an eyedropper and suck up a little glycerin. Add it to the acid mixture one drop at a time. ONE DROP AT A TIME. Keep adding it until you cover the surface of the acid. As soon as you add the acid the nitration reaction will start. This makes heat. Watch that thermometer like a hawk. If the temperature gets above 30 degrees, the nitroglycerin will more than likely go off, which is very bad. If you have to, stop adding glycerin for a few minutes and add more ice if you have to.
4. Once you’ve added all the glycerin, stir the mixture gently for a minute or two. In about 10 minutes it’ll be done nitrating.
5. Take a CLEAN eyedropper and snork up the nitroglycerin. It floats on the top of the mixture. Fill another beaker up with water and a little baking soda. Put the nitroglycerin into the baking soda water. This will neutralize any acid that’s stuck to the nitro, which will make it more stable.
6. Pour off as much of the baking soda water as you can without losing any of the nitro in the beaker. Pick up the nitro with an eyedropper and put it in a glass or plastic container for storage. Store it in a safe place, like outside, on someone else’s property.
Effects:
Nitroglycerin is an oily yellow liquid that is very sensitive and unstable. It will explode if you drop it, hit it too hard, or get it too hot. The best thing to do with nitro is to turn it into dynamite ASAP, since this makes it much safer to store. Pure nitro has been known to spontaneously explode in storage. Using pure nitro in a bomb is a very bad idea. Likewise, using nitro in a detonator thinking it will set the bomb off when you throw it at something usually results in natural selection.
Nitroglycerin vapors have been known to cause headaches and other afflictions. These are temporary and mostly harmless, though irritating. Nitro opens blood vessels in the body, and a sharp increase in blood flow to the head is what causes these headaches. If this is a concern, wear a respirator or use a fume hood.

Sep 05, 2006 5:31 pm - technically this shouldnt have been dropped, it’s not a bomb, it’s a volitile substance.... it’s like gunpowder (not like gunpowder at all really, but under the same classification)it seems like only 1/3 eggs I look at aren’t dropped, someone is gettin drop crazy.
Sep 05, 2006 7:11 pm - im sure a lot of people here know where you got this, i know i do, but even if they didn’t, this has c/p written all over it. fucking 0* buddy
