Paul A New Voice	posted November 24, 1999 01:48 PM Is there any way to make Nitrogen triiodide with potassium iodide? Potassium iodide is easy for me to get a hold of.
Enigma Frequent Poster	posted November 24, 1999 06:18 PM Why on earth do you want to make NI3?!!? I've seen pictures of that stuff being setoff with by a feather moving the crystals. Can anyone say 'stumppy'.
darcey Frequent Poster	posted November 24, 1999 10:05 PM might be a bit of a bad idea to make this shit. I have a explosives video and it shows a guy that made some of this stuff. He said a fly landing on it will set it off, he got a feather on a huge stick and lightly touched the nitrogen triiodide and it went off. A friend of mine tryed to make it and lost a finger.
Paul A New Voice	posted November 25, 1999 02:35 AM Come on people, Im not going to make pounds of it! Its just something different. It is completely safe in very small quantities like < a gram.
darcey Frequent Poster	posted November 25, 1999 03:06 AM still if i was you i wouldn't be making it. too dangerous.
Ho ju Moderator	posted November 25, 1999 11:24 AM what tends to happen thought paul is you make less than a gram and say "damn that wasn't a bad explosion, it didn't even hurt my hand" so you make more and more. and then when you build up enough and say "well the first didn't do much this can't either" adn then baboom!!! there goes your hand. (maybe you are really smart and relize that this would be wrong but soemtimes your judgment fails and you feel like "super man" i mean come one you are a teen and as a teen you feel you can do anything) ------------------ -Knowledge is power, power leads to corruption, corruption is a crime, crime doesn't pay.

xHelios unregistered	posted November 26, 1999 11:44 AM I made some NI3, igniting it with an airrifle and not touching it after drying. sa long as it is _really_ wet, it is not explosive at all. To make it from KI, you first havt to bubble Cl through the solution, so you get pure I. HelioS
nbk2000 Moderator	posted November 27, 1999 05:58 AM To make tri-iodide you first need iodine. Here's a way to make it from sodium iodide, which is cheaper and less suspecious to obtain then iodine. 2NaI + 2HCl + H2O2 -----> 2NaCl + 2H2O + I2 Simple, no? But remember, you have to calculate the proper ratios by molarity, not weight. 1 mol. of H2O2 would be 38 gms but if your using 3%, then you must multiply by 33.3 to compensate for the dilution. ------------------ "The knowledge that they fear is a weapon to be used against them." www.50megs.com/nbk2000
nbk2000 Moderator	posted November 27, 1999 06:16 AM Correction, 1 mol. of H2O2 would be 34, NOT 38, grams. ------------------ "The knowledge that they fear is a weapon to be used against them." www.50megs.com/nbk2000
