if anyone has a good idea for a filler please fill me in. i mean in the lines when the rocket hits it target it will do a lot of damage. |

put a few bullet primers on the tip of the nozzle, have those primers set of a BP pipe bomb (i personaly would not use anything like AP or HMTD to fill the bomb with they might be to sensitive and go off duing launch.) ------------------ -The eagle may soar but the weasle does not get sucked into jet engines. -The beatings will continue until morale improves. |

I think you mean put the primer on the nose cone... |

yeah nose cone that is what i meant. what is a nozzle? i have always been confused on that ------------------ -The eagle may soar but the weasle does not get sucked into jet engines. -The beatings will continue until morale improves. |

BP isn't a primary explosive, and it wouldnt do that much damage to your target. Silver filament(sp?) would probably work as the primary explosive, if you mixed it with some saw dust like in the poppers. It's DV is around 5,000 m/s so it would be able to initiate ANNM or your other secondary explosive. If i was going to make a rocket, I would have the shot gun shell primer with a BB taped to it on the nose, which ignites a tube of s. f. which initiates ANNM. ------------------ |

Exactly like FF said but I think it would be easier to put a blasting cap in there instead of some "loose" primary explosive. |

To Feticidal Fantasy i know this is the wrong topic but sense we are in the topic if i surrend AP around with Annm would you think that would still go off duriong the luanch |

Wave- I have no idea how to make Silver F. I think Megalomania would probably know or nbk2000. ------------------ |

firstly of all, SF is more sensitive than AP. you can make it by replacing mercurty with silver filings in mercury fulmintae, and there are MUCH more powerful explosives than ANNM, RDX, PETN(like you said), astrolite, HMX, etc. I have heard of SF just going off, out in the open for no reason. and ANNM compared to other explosives, has an increddibly low det velocity, some where in the 22,000 compared to RDX, thats miniscule, with RDX in the 26,000 - 27,000 range, I'am not sure of PETN's det velocity. and a good base power with a slightly lower det velocity would be TNT, it is castable, meaning you can melt it and pour it, it melts at aprox 80 Celsius, so you can melt it in boiling water, this is called wet casting. TNT is fairly safe to make, I'am going to make as soon as I get a portable generator to go way out in the country, I hear it produces ALOT of NOx fumes, and my neighbors wouldnt be too pleased with that ![]() ------------------ "... always look on the positive side of things, blow things up not down" -- Ragnar Benson |

FF how do you destinguish between the little pebbles and the actual silver fulminate in poppers? i have tried to seperate the two but i always get confused. ------------------ -The eagle may soar but the weasle does not get sucked into jet engines. -The beatings will continue until morale improves. |

Yea, they use those damn white coloured pebbles, hehe. Guys if you want facts and explosive data, it's all on mega's web site! I read so many questions on this forum that could be answered simply by checking it out on megalomanias web page! |

well if i was gonna fill the nose with some kind of filler what would be a big enought engine to launch it pretty dern far |

Those pebbles would not be soluble in anything. Finding what the silver fulimate is souuble in is the only thing that has to be done to seperate the two. |

hey guys, I know this thread is kind of old but being that i just started reading this forum a little bit ago and this is a subject i know a good deal about i thought i'd post a reply anyway. for a rocket to fly on any commercial motor its gonna have to be small and light. you could take an A sized rocket and fill it with explosives and put a C motor in it but it probably wouldn't lift off the ground. what you'd have to do is make the motor. The page called PVCRM on this site will show you an excellent way to make a motor, but for the power to move a rocket filled with explosives you better scale it up to about 2" pipe about 24"-36" long. make the rocket body out of 3" pvc pipe, put a nail in the nose cone so that when the nose cone hits the target the nail will push in closing an electric circuit setting off a detonator imbedded in an explosive. Make the body tube about 18" longer than the motor. For a filler a good explosive to use would be a 60/40 mix of ammonium nitrate, and double bassed smokeless gunpowder coloidized with acetone. For the detonator you can use a 1/3" aluminum tube 3" long with 3grams of hmtd and an RDX or PETN booster. email me if you want me to send you a diagram. catch22 |
