WRAITH Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Sounds real snappy like when you add a drop of concentrated sulfuric acid on to potassium permanganate, then when it changes color from purple to clear it starts releasing ozone & all you do to make it explode is add 1 drop of alcohol to it & detonation occurs.It could even be a mix like Crimson Powder with the chemistry of Potassium Nitrate, Ascorbic acid & Red iron oxide.

WRAITH Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Mercury fulminate & potassium chlorate snaps that way. Potassium ferricyanide is not flammable or explosive on it's own unless it's mixed with nitrite salts & could possibly explode if mixed with a solution of concentrated ammonia.

dave321 Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 re the posted video that is one loud , snappy bang, more of a crack personally, i do not think it sounds like it is due to "confinement" by coating the fusehead with a rigid coating, since it is more ofa loud "crack". i simply do not know any composition that comes anywhere near this effect, although a dragons egg composition could be similar, but there is no lag time from the fusehead unlike a dragons egg composition. maybe a nano thermite type composition would give this effect ?

WRAITH Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Could be that nano explosive, but an ever long process to create.Sounds even more like an explosion of silver carbide (silver acetylide), Ag²C².Google it & guys, how do you add video to this ?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave321 Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 no its not SADS, there is too much smoke,also although sads makes a nice bang, it is a relatively weak explosive, also the manufacturer states no lead, no primary. i do think it contains copper oxide since there is a black residue after firing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
