mixture of energetic materials

wonder what happens if we combine nitroglycerin,kno3&nano3............

You will get a mixture...

You get a kind of dynamite but not as efficient as it could be by adding some fuel instead of oxidisers...
As you should know, NG has a slightly positive OB; and mineral nitrate salts display a quite positive OB also...so too much oxygen wasted for nothing.

Maybe hexacyanoferrate salts (non-toxic) would be someting more appropriate because of the good energy stored inside the cyano groups.

if you have nitroglycerin, kno3 and some other ingredients you can make dynamite. In the pdf bellow page 336 you can see the different types of dynamite, with their properties. As PHILOU said there are better types of dynamite you can make. Be careful with ''straight dynamite" mixtures, they are more sensitive than other mixtures and dangerous to store.
