- Demoltion Article #2
- By: King Arthur
-
- I have decided to skip the article on mercury fluminate for a
- while and get right into the dynamite article.
-
- Dynamite is nothing more than just nitroglycerin and a stablizing
- agent to make it much safer to use. For the sake of saving time, I
- will abbreviate nitroglycerin with a plain NG. The numbers
- are percentages, be sure to mix these carefully and be sure to use the
- exact amounts. These percentages are in weight ratio, not volume.

- Household equivalants for chemicles
-
- It has come to my attention that m any of these chemicles are
- sold under brand names, or have household equivalants. here is a list
- that might help you out.
-
- acetic acid vinegar
- aluminum oxide alumia
- aluminum potassium sulfate alum
- aluminum sulfate alum
- ammonium hydroxide ammonia
- carbon carbonate chalk
- calcium hypochloride bleaching powder
- calcium oxide lime
- calcium sulfate plaster of paris
- carbonic acid seltzer
- carbon tetrachloride cleaning fluid
- ethylene dichloride Dutch fluid
- ferric oxide iron rust
- glucose corn syrup
- graphite pencil lead
- hydrochloric acid muriatic acid
- hydrogen peroxide peroxide
- lead acetate sugar of lead
- lead tetrooxide red lead
- magnesium silicate talc
- magnesium sulfate Epsom salts
- naphthalene mothballs
- phenol carbolic acid
- potassium bicarbonate cream of tartar
- potassium chromium sulf. chrome alum
- potassium nitrate saltpeter
- sodium dioxide sand
- sodium bicarbonate baking soda
- sodium borate borax
- sodium carbonate washing soda
- sodium chloride salt
- sodium hydroxide lye
- sodium silicate water glass
- sodium sulfate glauber's salt
- sodium thiosulfate photographer's hypo
- sulferic acid battery acid
- sucrose cane sugar
- zinc chloride tinner's fluid
-
- Keep this list handy at all times. If you can't seem to get one
- or more of the ingredients try another one. If you still can't, you
- can always buy sm all amounts from your school, or maybe from various
- chemical companies. When you do that, be sure to say as little as
- possible, if during the school year, and they ask, say it's for a
- experement for school.
