Hi
Making Ammonium Nitrate with CO2
In this video I show an uncommon method of making ammonium nitrate from calcium nitrate, ammonia and CO2. This reaction is part of the Nitrophosphate process (Odda process).
Ca(NO3)2 + 2 NH3 + CO2 + H2O → 2 NH4NO3 + CaCO3
Ca(NO3)2 + 2 NH3 + CO2 + H2O → 2 NH4NO3 + CaCO3

Thermal shock detonation of ETN
Просмотров 29 тыс.2 года назад
Do not try this at home! All explosions seen in this video are special effects! Thermal shock detonation of ETN is an unreliable way of initiating this experimental explosive. I was able to achieve a succes rate of about 75% with bickford fuse. And about 25% with visco fuse and black powder (second detonation).

Granulated Black Powder Comparison #Shorts
Просмотров 6476 лет назад
In this video I show you the different burn rates of granulated black powder and normal black powder. The last clip is played at 25% speed. The Blackpowder is prepared by grinding all the components in a Blender. Then added 25% alcohol and 75% water. I placed this solution on a hot plate and evaporated the water and alcohol. Then I ground the mixture in a mortar and pestle and added 1% dextrin....
Impact sensitivity of Nitrocellulose - Detonation vs Deflagration #Shorts
Просмотров 3,1 тыс.6 лет назад
In this video I test the impact sensitivity of Nitrocellulose. Nitrocellulose detonates under impact, which in this case is the impact of the hammer. Lighting the Nitrocellulose on fire causes it to deflagrate. #Shorts
Homemade sugar rocket explosion
Просмотров 3,8 тыс.6 лет назад
Homemade sugar rocket Mixture: 64,5% KNO3 34,5% sugar 1% Red iron oxide I recommend you to not use red iron oxide in combination with a nozzle. Adding Red iron oxide increases the burn rate of the fuel, and because of that the gasses can't escape the nozzle fast enough wich will result in an explosion.
You didn't had any nozzle in that?
Deflagration to detonation transition?
I had one happen to me, I was 20 ft away and the fuel was inside of PVC and pvc shards cut my skin open :D
@@prurobloxean27Yeah pvc shards are really dangerous. Be careful! Always take appropriate distance. Please wear eye and ear protection.
@@laboratoryofdavid I agree
Does adding PIB to ETN strengthen it?
Thank
Can i set off Urea nitrate?
Very interesting video. BTW, a simpler and cheaper way would be using ammonium bicarbonate to do the exact same thing, which is very cheap by kilo.. whitout wasting precious liquid ammonia.
Good point. I don't understand why it never occurred to me that ammonium bicarbonate could be used. Maybe I'Il try it in the future. The video was meant to be a proof of concept, rather then a practical approach.
I gave my reaction some more thought and I think the following happens: 2NH3 + CO2 + H2O = (NH4)2CO3 Ca(NO3)2 + (NH4)2CO3 = 2NH4NO3 + CaCO3 So it seems that I probably made ammonium carbonate in situ. So it makes more sense to start with ammonium (bi)carbonate. Thanks for your comment!
@@laboratoryofdavid the only drawback of displacing calcium is that calcium sulfate/carbonate is somewhat more soluble when ammonia ions are present but you could still remove most of it by filtration.
@@laboratoryofdavid yes ammonium bicarbonate is made in situ
One thing I’ve noticed with mixing ETN and PIB is it makes it A LOT harder to detonate. You really need quite the detonator and booster to get it to fully detonate.
It's pretty good safety wise 😂
Try this at home ;and "prepare for unforeseen consequences"!
Just with a fuse ? This is crazy Thx you
What is PIB
sto guardando anche io recentemente questo video e apprezzo che pure tu stai cercando informazioni, essendo che neanche io lo sapevo ho cercato un pò e si tratterebbe di poliisobutilene, in sintesi una gomma usata per le ruote delle macchine e i palloni
molte grazie@@siegesschandel
Do you get a nitro headache by shaping the ETN without gloves ?
Good question. I've never had any headaches handling ETN. Maybe because ETN is a solid and nitroglycerin is a liquid, its absorbed easier through the skin.
make dynamite
Cool hammering LOL
This orange color is dangerously close to yellow
Why am I seeing this ?
I am subscriber, 162🇨🇦
Looking great. Cardboard tube or plastic tube?
Nice channel! ;) What do you think about using glass retort for making fuming nitric acid? I have an idea of buying 500 ml or 1000 ml retort from Ali.
Thank you! Yes a glass retort can be used without any problems. Maybe a little less efficient because it has less cooling than a liebig condensor.
@@laboratoryofdavid Yeah, I agree. I don't have a distillation apparatus with the Liebig condenser, so it might be a great idea to use something else. Distillation apparatus is rather expensive to buy in my country :D I used improvised distillator with a small glass pipe to make nitric acid previously, but I want to use something that fits more than 250 ml of reagents inside :D
@@sprg42 Good luck! The price quality ratio from Ali is really good. Hopefully the retort stays in one piece during shipping.
@@laboratoryofdavid Thanks! I hope so. Where have you bought your distillation apparatus?
@@sprg42 Also from Ali! But it was several years ago before VAT was included in the price....
It tastes good but gives massive headaches!
Hahaha, please don't taste nitroglycerin. But I can imagine it being flavor explosion...
@@laboratoryofdavid Hahaha! 😂 Tbh, in theory, I may have synthesised and tasted it out of curiosity when I was a teenager, not very smart. I was just curious because my father used to have nitroglycerin (and ETN!) tablets for his heart. It still tastes sweet like glycerol. But then I got dizzy and felt my heart beating inside my head. That's what the medicine does according to my father so I knew what I was in for. Quite the experience, not even entirely unpleasant apart from the headache. I felt super relaxed for about 10 minutes but with a pretty strong headache and then it all died down again. It acts rlly fast but also wears of pretty quick. But in theory I just had to test the theory, theoretically speaking of coarse.
@@FOATE Hahaha great story, interesting that it still tastes sweet after nitration. Nothing beats the curiosity of a teenager. When I was 15 I tasted some rocket candy, but it didn't taste well. Tasted like extremely salty caramel.
Cool. The nose looks like it should contain some sort of payload haha
Hahah if the motor was strong enough to carry one. Last time I made a sugar rocket was 4 years ago. Good old times...
@@laboratoryofdavid you should start making them again. As they say, there is no time like the present :)
@@TheFireGoose Haha thats true, maybe I will. I've always wanted to make one out of stainless steel so that it is reusable.
the burning test clearly showing the purity is less than 80% . its may the acid was not strong enough or process was not accurate.. I was busy a few years for making GunCotton and smokeless gunpowder.. the pure GunCotton explosively burning before even the flame touches .. its almost exploding in blink of an eye when it coming contact with any heat..
Vaccuum filtration would make this a lot snappier and be easier to increase yield. I reckon automatic agitation too. Screw shaking things. I don't do anything manually which lasts longer than a minute if I can help it. It gets boring too fast.
Filtering calcium salts is always horrible, especially with a vacuum They end up being so fine that they clog filters.
“Hey Ferb! I know what we’re gonna do today”
very interesting method, i tried making ammonium nitrate before with NaNO3 and ammonium sulfate in ethanol (sodium sulfate will precipitate driving the reaction to completion) but it didnt seem to yield very high with what I did, this seems more efficient, could probably be done in those soda maker things
Never heard of that method before. I'Il try it sometime. Yeah a soda stream could work. Although I'm not sure if the bottle material is resistant to 25% ammonia.
cool
ruclips.net/video/OqEuKDZfkcU/видео.html It didn't affect that much because there was something wrong with the video or did you want to try something different? I mean, was it because you put too much plasticization rate or did it not have much effect, or was this what you wanted to do anyway? (foreign language translation)
The translation is a bit vague. But I think what you mean is that the effect of the etn on the wood block is too little. I agree on that but the block was laying loose on the ground. Next time I will try a more scientific approach. Interesting channel you've got.
Before Re-crystallization we need to neutralize, for which we need sodium bicarbonate water solution in order to remove trapped acetone, Kindly help me prepare 1 liter of solution, How much sodium bicarbonate (powder) should i add to the Distilled water ??? Plz be in detail.... I also have ethanol available, isnt that good choice ?
Just saturate the sodium bicarb. You'll need to add it incrementally, testing pH each time after mixing. I'm concerned anyone who needs to ask this, is messing around with such things honestly.
Quite concerned about his safety
@@laboratoryofdavid Yes. The saying a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing, specifically relates to high energy chemistry. I've been engaged in the field for 45 years, have a reasonable chemistry and physics education though and I've read many classics like Lancaster and Conkling. Both these and several more are on my bookshelf. I also had Tony Arena as a mentor, something I can boast about in any company. I've had some close calls. I've never injured anyone, including myself. I have all my limbs, fingers and eyes. I know many professionals, which I was once, and the majority who've been in the game for more tjan twenty years are missing fingers, a hand or wearing an eye patch. I once commented during a pyrotechnics seminar in Queensland, that with all the eye patches, hooks for hand and wooden legs, it looked more like a pirates conference. This is not a field you should get involved in, unless you're serious, and either have at least a very good grounding in Redox chemistry, or are committed to getting this in your toolkit before getting too hands on, you're probably going to maim or kill yourself very suddenly and without any warning. Many of the RUclips channels posting these experimental fireworks, pyrotechnics and explosive videos are insanely foolish. Separation distances are often ridiculous. Lab techniques and precautions are horrifying and the very devices are sometimes very, very illegal for well established and often historically lethal reasons. The max size of salutes worldwide, is 3 inches. Any bigger and you're playing around with something that's far more hazardous than it is going to be entertaining. Many mixtures are unstable in the way they're shown. Those with the knowledge ate aware that it's OK if you're going to use the composition right away, but will need to stabilise it, in a specific way differently from one mix to another. Many rules like this are simply taken for granted and may not be mentioned by someone who knows this. Those who are knowledgeable and experienced will bend a lot of rules too, because they know the safety margins, or are familiar enough they account for factors in other ways. So I see some very competent people being talkes down to, by people who know some safery rules, but not much about the details and their assumption they can do better is poorly grounded in fact. Anyway. You only die once and blowing yourself up by miscalculation of the risks and your knowledge, is as good as any way I suppose.
@@GrassPossum What do you mean the max size of salutes is 3" worldwide?
Amazing
Why are you even posting this stuff
Some people are interested in explosive chemistry.
@@laboratoryofdavid Total Agree ! i'm working on it me too , check my video if you want :) i will post more frenquently
Some of us have hobby interest. I'm a retired professional, but started experimenting. Now I'm back to that. Not everyone likes the same toys.
Theoretical my ass lol
Theoretically speaking, this is pretty cool.
Best theory ever theorized in the history of theoretics. I like the part where the theor theorites all over everyone.
Glad you liked it. Yt doesn't like nitroglycerin synthesis videos....
@@laboratoryofdavid police might come knocking or not knocking 🤔 if they know you're making it. I guess it depends on where you live
@@SodiumInteresting , never had any problems with the police. Been making energetics for four years now. Normally I make and destroy the stuff I make so they don't have any evidence of any explosives made. In my country RUclips videos can't be used as evidence in court. So I'm quite safe in that regard.
@@SodiumInteresting Hahah once they have you on the radar it's hard to get off it again. Non energetic is also very interesting. Always something new to learn and try.
You deserve more subs
I appreciate that
This is actually functional. Theoretically of course.
ę
Offcourse that is nowhere near a full det and you will probaly know it. Anyway... Im curious about your exact composition of PE? Its seems to be a very nice soft and moldable putty.
Oh nederlander zie ik nu, leuk!! 🙂
@@Voske85 altijd leuk om een Nederlander tegen te komen. Compositie van m'n plastic is 90% ETN 5% PIB (droog) en 5% 10w40 motorolie.
Best to make nitro in a non glass container hdpe is fine, preferably something dumpable if the reaction runs away. If you spill it on yourself say from a runaway reaction overflowing it will give you the headache from hell
It wil make your blood run more easily ;) HDPE is a better option...
*theorical*
ah interesting, i was planning on making some from scratch, literally, nitric from air and such, nice video
Thanks, sounds like a long project. It would be a nice proof of concept.
You could get trigricerides from soy beans
im gonna using bacon
Nice column
Ain't pretty but does the job
*purely theroretical* But nahhh.. I belive everyone with some chem expirence should have been able to figure that one out.. still some dangerous home chem you've got going on there sir. ;D
How did you Synthese it? If I do it on my own with 65% HNO3 and 98% H2SO4 it never gets high nitratet enough to be shock sensitive
Best way in my opinion is via amonium nitrate and 98% H2SO4. Only if you have access to ammonium nitrate. Otherwise use KNO3 but this will form hard clumps of potassium bisulfate which are hard to dissolve. It could be that your nitric acid isn't strong enough. Don't waste your precious acids on nitrocellulose ;)
@@laboratoryofdavid what is something better to do with them ..?
@@aaron5632018 Like PETN, RDX or nitroglycerin for example...
@@laboratoryofdavid ohh yeah, durrr
even this nitrocellulose isnt ideal as shown by the residue on deflagration, if nitrated will the stuff just disappears instant, no fwoosh should more of a poomf sound. I need to do some shock tests on my nitrocellulose as its super nitrated but the sensitivity seems about average
Anti heart attack medicine and powerful boom powder, the perfect chemical in my opinion.
Can't disagree
Powder?
not powerful, primary explosive so dangerous, and overall very sensitive so it's not that good. Not to mention that it can become the heart attack poison if too much on contact or eaten
@RandomBacon-mz7ci careful planning and handeling is key. Pre chilling the acids in the freezer significantly reduces the chance of a run away reaction.
Hi mate, can i ask you what type of Brake Cleaner you used to dissolve Pib? many thanks
Hi, Motip brake cleaner
zippo gasoline is quite successful, normal gasoline is successful but very smelly
Use rats glue or paraffin
Are you talking about polyisobutylene?
That's really cool I always knew you could thermal shock regular etn but I didn't know it would work with placticized etn too.
Thanks! It isn't a reliable method though. But if it's all you got or wanna deal with it is doable.
A small quantity of HMTD is enough to detonate any explosive if is closed in metal container.
@@nicoschadjidemetriou4373 yeah it is, but HMTD is a little dangerous / unstable for my liking. Now via personal experience and research I do understand that it isn’t as bad as it’s made out to be, but there are still many safer primary’s out there. I for example use silver acetylide (double salts) cause it’s very strong, pretty inert to impact and friction + static, easy to make and most importantly stable. But there are loooaads more out there.
@Mrgoosepoo. We are learning by experimenting. You always put the detonator the last moment. In 1963 I was 17Y.Old i filled iron corner of half inch with TNG (in wood fillings) and trinitronaphalin. The detonator was Potassium Clorate+Sulfur. I dropped it in a covered hole. I didn't imagine to be so strong. I made and mercury fulminated half a gramm. It is very easy.
@@nicoschadjidemetriou4373 very cool. Although you say the detonator was potassium chlorate and sulfur? How did that work? Did you simple ignite with a fuse?
very nice 3d effects sir 👍
Haha thank you man! I'm trying to trick the yt algoritm so the video won't get deleted.
@@laboratoryofdavid ik, im just playing along
🙂
Thanks! You have a nice channel.
👀
I don't think it achieved full order detonation, try using a more slow burning mix instead of bp
I think you're right. It was more a proof of concept. I've had succes with rocket candy and slow burning potassium nitrate flash. For normal detonators I use CHP anyway.
Slow burning? You want something faster if detonation is sought. BP is rarely fast enough to act as a primary.
@@GrassPossum a heatshock etn detonator is sort of a nped, its like wrapping etn in foil and putting it over a candle, it detonates with great power. What he is doing here is just the same but instead of a candle you use a hot burning mixture.
