I refuse to even watch videos like that, although I am an old dude and have seen similar before.
Peroxides... just say no. Sucks that they are so easy to prepare.

Zilina, Slovakia. The victim, Adamovi K prepared what in pre-fire pictures looks like it could be ammonium nitrate and nitromethane (ANNM) which looks
like a purple slurry (presumably from the dyes sometimes added to nitro fuels), in a plastic container which looks like it could hold about 200g.
Initiated by a homemade blasting cap made from a glass vial containing a homemade primary explosive (HMTD/TATP), which was inserted into the secondary
explosive slurry. It's not known why detonation occurred prematurely, but cotton wool may have been used to seal the fuse inside the vile of primary
explosive, which failed... The victims right hand was severely damaged and had to be amputated."
Even if it was flash the result would have been the same. The discussion as to what it was is irrelevant; he clearly had a big fuse-related issue.
A good reminder for anyone playing russian roulette. |
Wow, I live in Slovakia and river Váh flows through my town. :O :O

Wow 200g of ANNM would kill you if it explodes that close to your body, he should be ATLEAST deaf..

"Phone"'s accident...
Phone's post before he killed himself that weekend
===========================================
phone
February 21st, 2004, 07:08 AM
i wonder if in europe there is anyone that uses mehenamine for fire tablets or other things..i found only petrol derivate tablets...
Yeah. They´re german, I don´t have the pack right here, but it´s almost pure methanamine (or how you now spell that lame word). You just solve it
in aceton and you get it pure (or was it water) I haven´t really memorized it since I am an AP lamer (but I do own a pack with methanamine), HMTD is
nutting for me  , but hey, first time I did AP I did 80 grams, second 120 grams,
third time (yesterday, drying today) something about a kilo or more... I GONNA
BLOW MY FRICKING ARMS OFF! And yeah, I don´t treat AP with respect, but well, I got plenty of cold, snow and ice outside so my AP is usually quite
resistant against pressure e.tc. Well, right now my brain feels like weird, I gonna have to put up a few lamps e.tc. (it dried overnight, switched the
newsspaper it was on) and I think I gonna put up a few lamps to get the bitch dry faster. Well, my moms out of the weekend, that´s why I am sitting
here with over 1 kilo AP and lots and lots and lots AN. Well, sure, I spam... but.. hey! Well.
Well, almost forgot, I always take all my explosives and just make 1 big fucking bomb of it. 1 kilo AP and a couple of kílos AN coming up.
===========================================
A major swedish newspaper reports that a 15 year old boy was killed instantly on the night between sat. and sunday when a homemade bomd exploded .
His three friends at the site where not physically injured but severly chocked.
Police and bomd squad later evacuated the apartment building in which the boy lived, to search the apartment for explosives.
Today they said it was TATP about 800g
Here is something to laugh about...

It always makes me cringe seeing people using fuses. Why not just pitch the ~40 dollars to make a good electric initiator setup, and not lose a hand,
or even worse, your life. The people getting hurt are (almost) always the ones using fuses.

Wow @Phantom, I just can't believe it how can you syntheze that much of acetone peroxide without releasing that you got a 99% on an accidental
detonation, seriously 1kg of tatp , that's just.. sick! You have to be totaly ungraduated, insane & have a sick mind to do that kind of stuff.
I have done 47 syntheses on acetone peroxide my highest yield was 1.33g and I never will go any higher, normally it's about 200mg. I only had one
accidental detonation of a 176mg sample and I can tell you that it's like a gunshot exploding next to your ear. It scares the hack out of you and you
hear a high beep for several minutes after the explosion. Also glass was all over the place , but I made my own "reinforced fumehood" that's really
very usefull , it catches all the glass!
The video you linked is also fun to watch, seriously, 200g AP ! and mixing that quite roughly , I still don't get it why it didn't went off.

AP is a weird stuff, sometimes you hit it with a hammer and it does not detonate, sometimes it detonates without any warning just as it is sitting...
As PETN, NG, EGDN, RDX are available you do not need more than half a gram of primary...
When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead...

CreativePyroScience@ It wasn't made by me at all. Nickname : Phone who was a member of roguesci he synthesized it and blew himself up.
I know how it feels like.
Once 200-300mg HMTD went off about 40cm away from me. I couldn't here for seconds and I couldn't hear well in the next week.

If you are getting accidental detonations of AP you definitely do not have the trimmer or have not neutralized it properly. It is not unpredictable if
it is made correctly.

Well, one more story. It happened 20 years ago. One wise boy wanted to get some money and made hand grenades- for bandits, of course. TATP + AN, no
primer- a hunter's match instead of it. it burns for long time, therefore one has few seconds to throw it away before flame reaches main charge.
Something seemed wrong for him in this construction, and this boy tried to extract aforementioned match from a charge with a nail. he made some
movements and suddenly became cold. "What am I doing?" came to his mind. "I'll blow up myself!" At that very moment a bird made noise outdoor- he
turned head to that side and made one last movement. This bird saved him one eye. Fingers at his left hand just evaporated- no single piece of bone
was found. Blood drained from many holes in his chest. Had he incorporated some steel (nails, screws or similar shit intended to kill) into that
charge, this boy would have been killed undoubtedly. Nothing to say, he got just that he deserved.
Women are more perilous sometimes, than any hi explosive.

What type of primer powder are you referring to? I cant imagine a pound of any common energetic going off at arms length to not cause any serious
harm.

caterpillar, can you tell us more about this acident? What was the hull of the charge, why did he continued after he "become cold"? What's that
hunter's match? (it would be ridiculous if it's a match with just extended mixture) What could've went wrong with the nail, there're not supposed to
be metal parts so how did it ignite? There are some myths of AP going of by itself but there's never complete iformation.

That is because AP does not go off by itself if it was made correctly. It really is not as bad as people make it out to be. As long as good safety
procedures are followed, you will not get hurt. You need to prepare it the right way, keep the temp under 5C during addition, let the reaction proceed
in a freeze or in a sub-zero environment, and proper neutralization of the product.

True, but the temp does not have to be that low, but when you let the temp. rise too high, it will decompose after some of it was formed (due to the
acid). TATP oxidizes HCl to chlorine gas, btw. That's why TATP has chlorine-like odor when neutralized unproperly.
Formation of the Diperoxide is very unfavored, fortunately.

@Fossil I dissagree with you. I neutralized that sample with 100ml of distilled sodium bicarbonate and 50ml of fresh water. When I tried to pick up
the 176mg of TATP with a wooden spoon it detonated , and I wasn't putting any pressure at all, I very carefully used a paper to put it on the spoon
but it just wen't off. Acetone peroxide should never be considered safe and you should keep in mind that TATP can go off at any moment and you
shouldn't make any larger quantities than 1g because of that, making more is suicidal (Yes I once made 1.33g.. --"). There are hundred of stories from
people who synthesized 2g+ amounts of TATP that went off accidental and there are lots of people who lost their fingers, hands , hearing and life due
to being not careful and making too much of TATP.
TATP should be treated with respect and it's actually too easy to synthesize, bad nature 
@Phantom I know it wasn't meant perosnal at you, but at Phone although it might look like that 
@Adas I use sulfuric acid as a catalyst never tried HCl.

If you are not able to synthesize AP properly, you obviously should not be making any energetics, period. Also, your 1.33 gram synthesis is nothing to
brag about and is far from suicidal.

I prefer the low temp as it gives me added security and assures the formation of the trimmer. That is, it assures the formation of the trimmer when it
is coupled with a sub zero environment while the reaction is taking place. I also let the reaction take place for 48hrs and never less. I know that is
excessive, however it gives me peace of mind that everything has reacted properly.

Same here, I wear my rag-tag BOD suit whenever I handle TATP. Thick welding gloves, ear plugs, full faceshield mounted on a hard hat, hockey elbow
pads and my hockey shoulder pads. I never compromise on wearing this when I am handling TATP, whether it be filtering or packing it into cartridges.
If something goes wrong, I hope it will help me.

I do not know that boy directly, but one of my friends (same person who made 1.5 l of NG at once) does. Hunter's match is a match with long and big
head- it burns violently for relatively long time and is used in wilderness to ignite firewood. I do not think (and I agree with Fossil) that TATP is
an extremly dangerous compound. There are some more sensitive ones. But if one will break a single crystal of TATP with something hard like steel nail
(not that one, that is growing at your finger) explosion MAY occur. Just as it happened. I cannot tell you, why this boy continued. He wanted extract
match from charge. Why I ignited fuse after it had become too short?

@Fossil , pathetic that you are judging me on how I make acetone peroxide if you are just typing this from your computer without knowing anything
about how I work. You obviously don't know where you are talking about.
And after 48h not everything has reacted yet.. Seriously I have done multiple measurements and had always more yields after 72h+ than 48hours. You
just filter it off it doesn't matter...
You know what? Ill make a video on how I make acetone peroxide and then it's your turn to correct but I bet you will find any corrections. How about
that?
Acetone peroxide is never safe dude.

I cool the acetone and the peroxide to -5C seperately, mix and let them cool again. After they are at less then -5C I begin adding HCl. I use kinda
lot of HCl and get small crystals within less then a hour. For less then few hours it looks like this
http://www.google.bg/search?sugexp=chrome,mod%3D2&q=yogu...
and instead of waiting more I filter and wash with distilled water, then with methanol. Dry in warm dark, ventilated place. It only acidently
detonated when I left it on the sun, but it doesn't pop when I walk over it (hmdt does)
I'm close to the optimum right?

@Ral123
That's a .. yoghurt link?
Is it accidental or do you mean it looks quite cloudy, which is very normal.
And it indeed detonates/deflagrates at very low temperatures, the sun will set it off on a warm day.
It depends if you walk over it bearfoot, with socks it won't detonate because your skin/socks are quite soft and will make space for TATP but if you
would wear strong combat boots for example it will detonate.
I don't think the -5°C is neccesary I always keep it around 3-6°C and works fine, but you can never be safe enough , indeed! What are the
quantities that you make?

Once my standart was like 70-100g. Now 10-15g. When I was even younger kid/14 years old/ I mixed in a 400ml jar. Filtration? What filtration?
Neutra....what? Just shake up the yoghurt from the jar to a 2l box from ice cream and let dry for few days(the procedure was kinda wierd with H2SO4
). Then proudly carry 10g samlpe in medicine box with me in school. Show others
in the school lab how it burns-grab little amounts and place over the burner till it begun hissing when I try to grab more Btw My first synth was with totally sick proportions witch gave something like tear
gas and was supprisingly effective at ruining furniture. I don't know what was I doing with so much ap but I never did any significant explosive
device. For the next years I was more into spudgunning and rc models and was fine just with the illussion that I can make some explosive if I need.

No offence but it looks here are alot of peoples on this forum making TATP just for "making an explosive" without knowing anything about the chemistry
and danger behind it. That's very dangerous because one accident can change your life.
Imagine if the 100g that you made exploded right next to you, then you won't be here today..
"Carrying 10-15g of TATP to school.. , really you never had an accident??
I know I might sound overprotective but I speak from experience, just 200mg of TATP is like a gunshot and gives eardamage.. I don't want to imagine
what happends when 15g explodes in that medicine box while you are carrying it.
