And you measured the deflagration velocity how?
2.2km/s is far from deflagration. This is the accepted value for the composition I used.
I do enjoy watching relatively small explosions.
I guess I assumed you were beyond this point. My mistake.
Flash powder usually produces a small explosion, until you start to increase the quantities to the point of several hundred grams. Even then, it does not compare to several kilograms of APAN boosted ANFO detonated by an HMTD cap.
For once we agree.
Maybe where you live. Laws and regulations are different in Canada.
Walk in and slap one of your little toys on the desk of the nearest LEO. See what happens
Why would it be disturbing?
Anytime I cannot verify, and have reason to suspect someone isn't trained in a field such as this, I get a disturbing feeling. Can't be helped.
I can assure you that I know at least as much as you do about the chemical properties and safe handling of organic peroxides.
To criticize me for assuming the level of your knowledge, and then making assumptions about mine is very hypocritical of you. Tsk Tsk.
Monomeric AP, and even dimeric AP does not form in significant quantities when the synthesis is done properly.
Even then, it is a stupid risk to take when there are much safer alternatives out there.
I don't make MEKP because I do not have a good source of pure MEK, and I find it cumbersome to transport and use, being a liquid and all. I generally use HMTD, as it is marginally more stable than the trimeric form of AP.
HMTD's relatively short shelf life is another big advantage, as no one wants HE's laying around.
Don't be so presumptuous.
I maintain the right to presume whatever I please, at my own risk.
