nbk2000 Moderator	posted March 03, 2000 05:56 PM I found an interesting article about using soybean oil instead of diesel fuel in ANFO type explosives. Go to http://www.umr.edu/~boom/soy.html . There seems to be some advantages like no caking, long storage life, and easy availabililty of soybean oil. Anyione feel like experimenting? ------------------ "The knowledge that they fear is a weapon to be used against them."
Foxtrot83 Frequent Poster	posted March 10, 2000 06:33 PM Has anyone tried this yet, I'd love to hear the results. I read the article and it seems to be a plausible idea, but I don't think it'd be more powerful than ANNM. ------------------ ~Foxtrot83~ Semper Fi
uberchlor unregistered	posted March 10, 2000 06:54 PM There is no way it's going to be as powerful as AN/NM, because soybean oil doesn't offer as much energy as nitromethane does. But the idea of replacing ANFO with ANSOY seems to be a pretty good idea...
nbk2000 Moderator	posted March 11, 2000 01:31 AM I hope I didn't imply that ANSOY is as powerful as ANNM. It's only as powerful as ANFO. Salad oil can also be used instead of soy oil. ------------------ "The knowledge that they fear is a weapon to be used against them."
