Brisance of Ammonium Perchlorate mixtures compared to ANNM/ANNMAL

nehorlavazapalka - 5-4-2014 at 08:19

I have searched the internet for comparisons of various ammonium perchlorate mixtures and ANNM. I would like to know, if you have personal experince with these mixtures and their brisance. I can find the detonation velocities for these mixtures (even though they vary wildly based on diameter, density..etc.).

What is the real life brisance difference between, let's say 90:10 AP:Al mixture (optimized for VOD of about 4 km/s) and OB ANNM? What are it's effects on stone and steel?

Hi-

I just looked at your posting history here. You've NEVER asked a question related to chemistry- Never post a link to chemistry articles, patents or theoretical information, just a few YouTube videos of "applications".


Allways ask a question directly related to an application- Usually applications that can be easily connected to IED construction or use. Drums of Sodium chlorate/fuel laced with det cord? Fuel air explosives, how to achieve true detonation with a common liquid fuel? Can you achieve a thermobaric effect with a solid fuel laced 100kg sized ANFO explosion?

Now you want an ammonium perchlorate mixture that can cut steel/shatter concrete... Sure is hard to get ammonium nitrate some places lately, eh?

You have never contributed by answering anyone else's questions either? There ARE people here who bear the hallmarks of illicit weaponeers and/or clandestine pharmaceutical manufacturers- But will share their expertise and add something to the knowledge base. I'm OK with them, short of brazen actions that will get this site shut down. They sometimes give a unique point of view on improvised stuff along with "can do!" attitude.


I'm locking this thread until you can convince me you're an asset, not a liability. PM me if you want to discuss further. Reading This could help you do an adequate job of convincing (or conning!) me into re-opening.
