   This is how nitro explodes, and you chemistry majors will notice that the
bi-products are Nitrogen, Water, and Carbon Dioxide.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
     Nitro is a very high explosive, and if your'e a clumsy oaf don't even try
to make it! Since I am not responsible, and have no desire to be sued by a
hoard of 13 year olds with no hands!!!!!!!! So this is my DISCLAIMER
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    How to Actually Make Nitro
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    Mix 100 parts fuming nitric acid (note: this should have a specific gravity
of 50 degrees Baume for best results) with 200 parts Sulphuric Acid. The Nitric
acid should be poured into the sulphuric acid, and not the other way around as
it will splatter. This will be hot, so let it cool down, and when its cool add
38 parts glycerine as SLOWLY as possible. The glycerine should be allowed to
trickle down the sides of the container, and don't drip it straight into the
container.(note: if glycerin is added too fast then the stuff will ignite, and
you will be eligible for the wheelchair olympics) Next stir with a *GLASS* rod
for 15 seconds so very carefully. Now pour it into 20 times it's *VOLUME* of
water. It will visibly precipitate immediatly. There will be twice as much
Nitro as you used glycerin, and it's easy to separate. Next mix it with baking
soda immediatly after it's separated to keep it from going off spontaneously.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

   Special Notes - The parts are by weight and the Baume scale of specific
gravity, which can be found in most chemistry books. You can get fuming Nitric
and Sulphuric acids at chemical supply warehouses or fertilizer stores. Don't
make more than 200 grams at a time ever, and always wear some sort of body and
eye protection. Glycerin can be obtained at any pharmacy or medical supply co.
The acid is not fully stable or even a little bit stabler after washing it with
the sodium bicarbonate.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

   Now that you have the Nitro made you can make a powerful stable explosive
out of it. This you do my mixing the Nitro with as much cotton as you can, and
then saturating it with molten, but as cool as possible parifine. Also use the
same amounts of cotton, parafin, and nitro when mixing, and by the same amounts
I mean weight not looks!
