I've used Google on many occasions, and at no time have i found their
services restricted to only those people with friends.

So, do you think it's ok for me to continue to use Google ?.

This is a DIY group. Make your own f*cking dynamite.

Owain

Following the recent publicity why not try Acetone Peroxide? (Recipe easily
found by Googling)

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.

Dynamite is actually quite handy for many DIY tasks.
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.

Ordinary fertiliser is easy to come by and does have nitrogen in it, but the

nitrogen is now supposed to be harder to get hold. Which would sensible
enough to me.

I would've stood corrected if you were observant enough to point out that
it's actually the ammonium nitrate that is the key ingredient.

Get the right stuff and it's completely unstable. Take it you've got the
right fertiliser and tried it yourself have you? If you have, then
presumably you haven't got a full compliment of limbs and/or are writing
this from the other side?

And for your information...

In Australia all products, including fertilisers containing greater than 45%
ammonium nitrate have been designated as security sensitive ammonium nitrate
(SSAN) and will be subject to regulation. SSAN includes calcium ammonium
nitrate which is not classified as a dangerous good, and dangerous goods
with UN numbers 1942, 2067, 2068, 2069, 2070, 2071, 2072, 3375 and 3139,
where applicable.

Additionally...
New polymer coating makes it harder for terrorists to use Ammonium nitrate
as a bomb-making material.

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.

Fertiliser is not "likely to explode" - the landscape is not strewn

Sigh.

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"

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?

Nothing to do with applying fertiliser, is it.

Fairly easy as I recall from unofficial school research. Basically
nitro-glycerine soaked sawdust. Nitro glycerine involves conc. nitric
acid and glycerine. Gun cotton similar but easier.

Sorry mate, no amount of acute smugness and arrogance in the form of shrugs
and "erms" is going to make me change my mind.

I've demonstrated my point, why not demonstrate yours (smugness free if
possible) if you're so confident.

That was a shrug dismissive of ignorance, not an arrogant or

What "point" do you want demonstrating? Explain, if you like.

The hole is filled with bags of Ammonium Nitrate and Diesel is poured in

Now I'm reliably told that mining quarrying explosives are so stable that
they can be burnt on a fire without exploding.

The hole is drilled at a particular angle/depth, as well as downwards!
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.

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.

That's the difference between "low" and high explosives IIRC

Gunpowder explodes by burning (very fast)

High explosives are set off by a shock wave and explode at the speed of
sound (I presume in that medium)

TNT would just burn away if you put it on an open fire, it needs a
percussive initiation to make it explode

(that could have been phrased better)

Mentioning sheep and wellies in the same sentence could also get you
