I can buy sodium azide from Amazon, well I live in India though.



Water is dangerous if you don't know how to handle it, elemental fluorine (F₂) on the other hand is pretty tame if you know what you are doing.

I've bought stuff from them a few times - DCM, THF and sodium nitrite, things that are otherwise hard to get. They're legit.
They went offline for a month or two, and sadly, their stock is now much reduced from what it used to be.

I had a look and they seem to have a reduced set of compounds to sell, but repeated many times over different packages.

Anyways.

As an aside, I didn't know you made videos. It’s so nice to hear a British speaker from time to time. It seems the world of chemistry video has been taken over by American or Aussie blokes… :)

I've now discovered this website (n2o3.com), but is it safe to buy from them? I saw they sell HNO3 with 55% conc. but is it safe (legal) to buy it if it will be shipped to European countries?

Anyone with some experience?

If you look closer on the item, you’ll see a line ‘Restrictions: Enterprises only.’

Well u can't buy dynamite though, and I hate that radioactive substances are tightly regulated here. But USA doesn't have any regulations on radioactive substances. (I meant some substances like U and Th)

The US does have restrictions on uranium. Individuals can only own a prescribed amount (I forget the actual amount) of either natural or depleted uranium (enriched is off the table). I don't think there are many restrictions on Th, though. Gas mantles and thoriated welding rods are still readily available to consumers, no questions asked.

Dynamite used to be available in the US as well. They were marketed as M-80 firecrackers, which were just 1/4 of a stick of dynamite. I don't think they're legal in most states now, if at all.

Reading this brought me back to the 1970s, when I first heard this urban legend told.

As you may have surmised, it is, in fact, an urban legend, and a pretty clumsily constructed one at that. There's a huge difference between deflagration, which is what firecrackers do, and detonation, which is what dynamite does. They are not equivalent, and have never been treated as such, especially when it comes to things one could buy over the counter.

While it's not comprehensive, if you want to learn more about the fireworks, you can start here.

Yeah, this takes me back too, to the 1980s in my case. The "quarter sticks" were called M-250s, and I assumed that was just an equivalent, and not actual dynamite. But I thought flash powder could still in fact detonate? Is this not true?

With careful arranging, which I will not describe here, it's possible to get flash powder to detonate. That arranging is expensive and fundamentally dangerous, even by the standards of fireworks manufacture, so it has, at least statistically speaking, never been done for fireworks.

That's fascinating. I knew how dynamite was made, but I didn't know that M80s weren't it. Honestly, I haven't seen M80s since I was seven or eight.
