has ne1 heard about Astrolite A-1-5? From wut i hear, it is the highest explosive, under the nuke of coarse. i want a recipe if possible, but any info would help, thx,
cueball

did you ever have the urge to make an a-bomb or hydrogen bomb ever?

actually, yes

I saw on TV once that someone made a home made nuke and detonated in austraila (in the outback) though I don't know how true it is?!?!

real???
anybody?

This is what I would call an explosive myth. astrolite is amonium nirate and hydrazine, and it's not all that powerful, more of a special aplication thing. It would be very hard to get your hands on hydrazine anyway, not to mention that it's a toxic carcinogen. Don't waist your time on the stuff there's easier and more powerful things to make.

yeah, i read about it, and wanted to add it to my collection. thanx man

it uses a funny metal case, which causes it to implode rather than expode, and it sucks in air from surrounding areas and creates a miniature firestorm. approx 1.2 mile radius.

Apparently

It is a pretty powerful power explosive. When nuclear testing was first banned above ground, they used tons of it to simulate a nuclear blast. It was never as powerful as a nuclear blast, but close enough to gather good data on the heat generated and blast affects. It is a mixture of hydrazine and ammonium nitrate. It is very unstable and very toxic. Hydrazine is very hard to come by, not many chemical supply houses carry for it's complications. Germans used it to propel rocket powered planes, many of which exploded during refueling or take off. Not something worthwhile to play with.

i have a site where you can buy uranium, but uh its a little expencive, how much would be needed for a nuke?
