ANARCHY 'N' EXPLOSIVES ===== VOLUME 2 =====


This volume defines a few varieties of misc explosives, charges, and whatever I had in mind at that time. Anyway, these formulas are not as precise in measurements for they were given in brief summary. However, they will work, and if used correctly can be safe and "fun".

FRENCH AMMONAL:

       Type: Low Explosive
Ingredients: 86% Ammonium Nitrate
             6% Stearic Acid
             8% Aluminum Powder
Description: French ammonal is an easily improvised low explosive
             mixture. It is generally less effective than an equal
             weight of TNT. The material is loaded by pressing it into
             a suitable container. Initiation by an Engineer's special
             blasting cap is recommended.
   Comments: This material was tested. It is effective.

             para 1401.
TETRYTOL:
       Type: High Explosive
Ingredients: 75% Tetryl
             25% TNT
Description: Tetryol is a high explosive bursting charge. It is used as
             a demolition explosive, a bursting charge for mines, and
             in artillery shells. The explosive force of tetrytol is
             approximately the same as that of TNT. It may be initiated
             by a blasting cap. Tetrytol is usually loaded by casting.
   Comments: This material was tested. It is effective.

IMPROVISED PLASTIC EXPLOSIVE FILLER:
       Type: High Explosive
Ingredients: Finely Powdered Potassium Chlorate Cdata  bstals
             Petroleum Jelly        **MIX THOUROUGHLY**
Description: This plastic explosive filler can be detonated with a
             No. 8 commercial blasting cap or with any military
             blasting cap. The explosive must be stored in a waterproof
             container until ready to use.
   Comments: This material was tested. It is effective.

FLAMABILITY OF GASES:
       Type: Gas Explosive
Ingredients: Explosive Gas
Description: Under some conditions, common gases act as fuel. When mixed
             with air, they will burn rapidly or even explode. For some
             fuel-air mixtures, the range over which the explosion can
             occur is quite wide while for others the limits are narrow.
             The upper and lower amounts of common fuels that will cause
             an ignitable mixture are shown in the table below. The
             quantity shown is the percentage by volume of air. If the
             fuel-air mixture is too lean or too rich, it will not
             ignite. The amounts shown are therefore called limits of
             inflamability.
                                              Gases (% by volume of air)
             Fuel (Gas)                       Lower Limit    Upper Limit
             -------------------------------  -----------    -----------
             Water Gas Or Blue Gas                7.0             72
             Natural Gas                          4.7             15
             Hydrogen                             4.0             75
             Acetylene                            2.5             81
             Propane                              2.2             10
             Butane                               1.9              9

   Comments: These fuels have been tested under labratory conditions.
             They are effective. Ignition depends on method of
             initiation, uniformity of mixture, and physical conditions.
