Why'd you want dynamite for? Pardon me for stereotyping, but you're not from
Islamic Asia and in possession of a ruck sack are you? I've seen one DIY tip for making a bomb (not dynamite). It said you needed a rag, diesel, newspaper and the type of fertaliser which is likely to explode (loaded with nitrogen). Which, for obvious reasons, is apparently increasingly difficult to get hold off. You have to empty some of the nitrogen in to the newspaper and then roll the newspaper up. Dip the rag in diesel and then put it in the end of the newspaper. You then have to light the rag and it then recommended "running like f**k" and not doing it in a "confined area" such as an "alley". Unless, of course, you wanted to blow it up. Surprising how easy it is. This is of course simply observational quoting and for scientific use and reference only. |

From digging large holes (1m SDS drill, dynamite at bottom, job done), to removing stumps, removing slabs, ... You can even use it to join pipes with. (not plastic ones though). Not to mention explosive forming, which is good for a number of tasks. |

If you have, then presumably you haven't got a full compliment of limbs and/or are writing this from the other side? |

Ammonium nitrate is a widely used fertiliser which has been used in several IRA attacks, the World Trade Center bombing in New York in 1993, the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 and the Bali bombing in 2002, amongst others. Millions of tonnes of ammonium nitrate are produced each year for use as a fertiliser. It can be turned into an explosive by mixing the chemical with fuel oil and, while it is not necessarily easy for would-be bombers to do this with fertiliser-grade ammonium nitrate, it is not impossible. |

Get the right stuff and it's completely unstable. No, it is not. Take it you've got the right fertiliser and tried it yourself have you? Clue: in some industries explosives based on what you mention, with various admixtures, are used very widely. If you have, then presumably you haven't got a full compliment of limbs and/or are writing this from the other side? I see that by the time you posted: Message-ID: you had done a little research. However, it's a little more involved than just mixing up a bit of fertiliser and pouring some diesel oil or whatever on, fortunately. Do you maintain that your original "bomb" recipe has any chance whatever or working? |

with the remains of farmers and their machinery. I suppose you believe that diesel on farms won't burn even though they store a lot of that too? Or perhaps a barn full of straw won't burn down?

Think about shock waves and the shattering effects/depth of hole compared to depth of step. The hole is filled with bags of Ammonium Nitrate and Diesel is poured in after. It's generally mixed beforehand - various additions/physical characteristics are possible/useful. A stick of commercial mining/quarrying explosive is shoved down the into the top of the mixture together with its detonator.

Now I'm reliably told that mining quarrying explosives are so stable that they can be burnt on a fire without exploding. Se latter statement. Sawdust/diesel is laid out in a herringbone fashion, with piles of explosive at the end of the "bones". Dimensions and quantities are given in procedures. It's all quite fascinating, but of real use dictated by context. |
