TERROR A New Voice	posted January 18, 2000 08:20 AM would anybody like to tell me that which is the most powerful explosive known to man.and pls tell me that is there any chemical used in homemade detergents and surf which is used to make whistling rockets.any kind of related info will be accepted with a bundle of thanks.
HMTD Factory Frequent Poster	posted January 19, 2000 06:01 AM The topic "Hydrazine?" by MR COOL described the most powerful explosive astrolite-G, it was less than 1 inch away from your topic, ironically. Astrolite is made by mixing ammonium nitrate with anhydrous hydrazine(water free hydrazine), it's a liquid explosive, detonator necessary.
Nitro unregistered	posted January 19, 2000 12:49 PM Astroglith is not the mightist explosive there is an nitro explosive but i ve forgotten the name of it.
uberchlor unregistered	posted January 19, 2000 04:53 PM Hexanitrohexazaisowurtzitane (HNIW) is the most powerful explosive known.
m3nth Frequent Poster	posted January 19, 2000 07:19 PM uberchlor what is that based on out of curiosity? is it rdx based or similiar or something different? or did you just read that somewhere and have not a clue. ~m3nth~
HMTD Factory Frequent Poster	posted January 19, 2000 07:44 PM How easy is it to make Hexanitrohexazaisowurtzitane? Hexa-nitro-hexa-azai-iso-wurtz-itane? What the heck is wurtz-? It's a person's name and also name of a process but doesn't seem related. [This message has been edited by HMTD Factory (edited January 20, 2000).]
nbk2000 Moderator	posted January 19, 2000 08:00 PM HNIW is on Megas page on explosives. It's WAY beyond home manufacture (unless your Bill Gates). Even Astrolite is basically out of reach. ANNM is about the most powerful explosive within realistic (affordable) reach. ------------------ "The knowledge that they fear is a weapon to be used against them." www.50megs.com/nbk2000
megalomania Administrator	posted January 19, 2000 08:57 PM The most powerful explosive is more likely then not still classified or under development. HNIW was first prepared about 10 years ago, it is only now being developed for mass use. But, it's the best we have so far. The information on my page is about as good as anyone could ever hope to get them, even so the chemicals and the process does require a good deal of skill. RDX, TNT, and AN mixtures are nearly as powerful and economical. ------------------ Visit Megalomania's Explosives and Stuff at http://surf.to/megalomania
uberchlor unregistered	posted January 20, 2000 04:56 PM I knew HNIW from looking on some web-sites,and reading books. HNIW (HEXANITROHEXAZAISOWURZITANE) HNIW was discovered in 1987 by Arnold Nielsen at the Naval Air Weapons Center at China Lake, California. It is the densest and most powerful explosive known. It is prepared by the careful condensation of glyoxal with benzylamine, followed by hydrogenative debenzylation, acetylation, and, finally, nitration. Because its production cost is high, its development as an ingrediant in tactical systems has been slow. However, its outstanding performance as both explosive and propellant ingrediant will drive a longterm effort to improve its manufacturing process. I obtained this information from a small book series called "Macmillian Encyclopedia of Chemistry"-i think that is how it's spelled. And later on in another page it said that: To date, the densest explosive known is HNIW, wose densest crystalline form has a density of 2.05 g/mL. On another page it also showed the Nitro-cage structure of the explosive, along with other explosives, etc.
HMTD Factory Frequent Poster	posted January 20, 2000 07:53 PM Can you post the site uberchlor?
mosaz Frequent Poster	posted January 21, 2000 04:27 PM YEAH!! Good Joke!! But I think we are still talking about non-nuclear explosives. ----------- MEGALOMANIA, have you ever tried out the method of making CL20, you are describing on your webside or is it all theoretical? And I also think that we have spoken many times about which explosive is the strongest.
uberchlor unregistered	posted January 21, 2000 07:54 PM The website was german, it didn't have a bundle of info, just compared the detonation velocity and density between HMX and HNIW, forgot the address. I'm pretty sure you can find it anywhere on the net... Still looking for more info on it.
mosaz Frequent Poster	posted January 23, 2000 06:29 AM the adress is http://www.chemie.at/ACS/service/Infotainment/sprengstoff.htm but I don't think this little diagramm is usefull.
