in

simply

Low-Order Explosives
There are many low-order explosives which can be
purchased at
gun shops and used explosives devices. But, it is
possible, that a
sensible person, do not sell these substances to a person from
appearance
suspicious. Because of this, this person will resort to doing their

Black Powder

parties, the
gunpowder was first used in firearms and explosives in
the 13th century.
It is very easy to prepare, although it is not very powerful or secure.

High-Order Explosives
High-order explosives can be produced at home without
a lot
difficulty. The problem is acquiring nitric acid, which is
necessary for
to produce high-order explosives. Most of this type of
explosives
they detonate because their molecular structure contains some
combustible and
usually three or more molecules of NO2 (Nitrogen Dioxide). The
T.N.T. or
also known as Tri-Nitro-Toluene, is an excellent example
such
material. When an electric discharge passes through a
T.N.T. molecule,
the bond of nitrogen dioxide breaks, and the oxygen combines
with the
combustible, all in just a few microseconds. This happens with
the
Nitrogen-based explosives. The following are listed several
methods
to create this type of explosives.
R.D.X.
R.D.X., also called cyclonite, or composition C-1 (When

In a ventilated area, and using a gas mask,
mix 10 g of
glycerin with 2 g of sodium bisulfate in the Erlenmeyer flask
