@jakospence I tried my best to take nearly every safety precaution I could, particularly regarding temperature temperature control. When etn is below its melting point of 60c, it has physical characteristics very similar to petn, which is to say it’s very stable. That’s why I wasn’t too concerned about vacuum filtration. I had a plan for if the reaction entered thermal runaway (dump bucket), I had a plan for any spilled acid (bicarbonate solution). I always wore proper ppe, including gloves I’d tested for the acids I was using and eye protection. During the detonation tests I wore eye protection, thick leather gloves to protect against tinfoil flecks, and doubled up on hearing protection, wearing ear plugs under my headset. There were probably things I could have done slightly safer, but I believe I generally had all my bases covered. If there was anything blatant I missed, please let me know. I try my best to be safe.
@mana3109 It looked solid to me man. I explore uranium mines as a hobby so I'm not one to criticize others about safety lol. But I've done my share of self entertainment with energetics and one thing I've found is they don't do much when they're wet. Even TATP is safe to vacuum filter so long as you don't go to complete dryness, it absolutely will not explode if it's wet, hitting it with a lighter will just make it go up in flames but I'm sure you know it doesn't take much to make it det when it's dry.
I don't really have a good way of making primaries right now that aren't organic peroxides, so it's actually sort of flipped. Instead of being a slightly unstable secondary, it's more like an relatively stable primary :) Will probably make RDX sometime down the line, have some hexamine purified I can use.

great video but some suggestions: .You don't necessarily need rfna .Wash with water after bicarb wash .Add a little pinch off bicarb to the recrystallization solution .use as minimum amount of solvent as possible .better to use acetone .if you are going to use it all as soon as you made it you don't really need to recrystallize
I could make the nitric in situ, but I don't have very much ammonium nitrate and I've heard the other nitrate salts make for a very nasty reaction. I had some rfna on hand, so I used that. There was a little bit of bicarb in the recrystallization like you suggested, might have forgotten to mention it. I used IPA instead of acetone because I'd heard that acetone can cause some issues. Thanks for the suggestions though!
@@manavali92acetone doesn't cause any issues, its just that the crystals of ETN are quite flaky and the density is poor,every solvant will give a different shape to the ETN crystals. To overcome the poor density of recrystalized ETN from various solvants, you can melt and cool the ETN to form high density meltcast ETN. Once cooled to room temp, the ETN chunks can be crushed into a coarse powder.

@@ДмитрийЖуравлев-ж3х Mixing Ammonium nitrate with some sort of soda (NaHCO3, Na₂CO₃, NaOH), you will get sodium nitrate and ammonia. The ammonia will evaporate off, make sure you have good ventilation. You can find the exact ratios yourself by figuring out the stoichiometry. If you can't figure it out yourself, you shouldn't be playing with these chemicals. Just like ammonium nitrate, sodium nitrate is also an oxidizer, and mixing it with a fuel like kerosene will burn really well, possibly even exploding. It's probably not necessary to convert the ammonium nitrate to sodium nitrate if all you want is a fireball. A mixture like this is sometimes called "ANFO" (Ammonium Nitrate, Fuel Oil). It's pretty stable, but will detonate if you use a primary blasting cap. Be safe!

22,5g or 22,5mL buddy? I see 37,05 on your scale. 37g of 96% H2SO4 equivalent around 20mL, is it a mystake? Second question, you use purified eritritol (seen it in your other vidéo) but your acide seems to be straight from the bottle. Doesn't that affect the reaction? Thank you for this high quality video
I think I might have made a mistake with the number. According to my notebook, I should have added at least 33g of sulphuric, but more doesn’t hurt at all and you may need to add some more to keep the viscosity down. I added an extra splash later in the nitration for that reason. Basically, the exact amount doesn’t really matter so long as it’s about 4x the mols of the erythritol or more. As for the purity of the sulfuric, it probably doesn’t matter too much, so long as it’s very high concentration. I’ve personally never had any issues using drain cleaner grade sulfuric for my experiments. Distilling it may make the reaction *slightly* better, but compared to how much of a dangerous nightmare sulfuric is to distill with it’s 340c boiling point for very little improvement, it simply makes no sense. On that note, I probably could have gotten away just fine with unpurified erythritol as well, but recrystallizing it was quick and easy, so I did it regardless. Glad you liked the video!
Look up heatshock etn caps, you don’t necessarily need a primary. I’ve had success with something made with sparklers and aluminium foil. Rocket candy is also something I’ve heard that works well. Another comment on this video said adding CuO to the etn acts as a detonation catalyst, haven’t tested it yet though. I’ve used hmtd to initiate petn which is very similar, but organic peroxides are really scary and I don’t want to risk making more. If you are able to get the materials to make better primaries, it’ll work, just make sure you’re extra careful with primaries since they can be really sensitive. For safety, might be worth making an electric igniter so you can light it while not next to it. I’ve prototyped a really simple one by using a LiPo battery connected to a long segment of speaker wire and a little igniter charge made with nichrome wire and a little black powder hot glued in a straw. Always treat energetic materials with respect. Wear proper protection like earplugs and safety glasses. Be safe!!
I absolutely cannot figure out what I’m doing wrong. I add the erythritol to the cooled acids exactly like you but it never thickens or builds consistency. It just looks exactly the same as after adding the 10g as before adding the 10g. Maybe my erythritol isn’t right? I bought the ‘bulk supplements’ orange and white bag
Btw, you can’t distill low concentration acid to a higher concentration. This is because nitric acid forms something called an azeotrope, basically, when water and nitric acid are mixed, 68% is the highest concentration achievable by traditional distillation. The erythritol they’re using is probably fine. Also, my method is a little more complicated than it needs to be. You can make the concentrated nitric in situ by mixing sulfuric acid with a nitrate fertilizer like ammonium nitrate or potassium nitrate. Ammonium nitrate is much much easier, but I’ve heard of other nitrate salts working. Syntheses are a lot more flexible when you know how things work and you can figure out the method that’s easiest for you with the materials you have on hand. There’s a shitload of resources on the sciencemadness forums too.
Does potassium nitrate dissolve in sulphuric acid and how much time it takes for it. I tried it but lumps are formed of potassium nitrate in sulphuric acid. Its difficult to do without magnetic stir
I don’t think potassium nitrate dissolves in pure sulfuric in any meaningful quantity. Sulfuric acid does react with nitrate salts to make nitric acid and sulfates. Sulfates are sometimes quite insoluble. Magnetic stirring also won’t help you much even if you did have it since it struggles with slurries. Were you trying to make nitric acid?
4:28 if you take your glass stirring rod, and lay it over the top of the beaker from one side across to the spout , and hold onto it with your fingers while you pour, you will not spill when you’re pouring.
Hi Mana, I'm back again to ask something, can RDX be made using 68% Nitric Acid added with Ammonium Nitrate and then Hexamine and after the reaction subsides then heated like the dug method but the difference is I use 68% Nitric Acid?
I’m not 100% sure about rdx, but it’s pretty likely that water will inhibit the reaction. If you have AN, you can just add sulfuric acid to make the nitric in situ, no need to add nitric acid that’s 32% water by weight. You can get 98% sulfuric acid as drain opener in hardware stores, just double check the safety data sheets to make sure it’s sulfuric.
@PlayFullChemist I feel like you should try to understand what a nitration bath is and how it works. Don’t just follow random recipes online without understanding how they work.
Neither. Organic peroxides are quite dangerous because their sensitivity is so variable. I’ve made hmtd before and the sensitivity seemed workable, but I’ve read that depending on how old it is or how it was prepared, there’s always a danger that it could go off from the slightest stimulus. Just because it probably won’t explode randomly doesn’t mean it can’t. I’ve been experimenting with etn as a primary. If you want to do your own research on it, look up etn heatshock caps. Also, I live in a country where some chemicals are quite hard to get. However, in the states and most other countries, you can probably get the chemicals required to make NAP. I’ve heard that’s a really good primary. If you do decide to use either tatp or hmtd, take a whole load of precautions. Act like they could explode at any moment. I’ve done some reading and the internet can’t really decide which is more sensitive, but I think it’s more a matter of how pure it is. Make sure to rinse it with some methanol so there aren’t any contaminants that can raise the sensitivity and danger. Stay safe!
@@manavali92 You are indeed the best MANA😁, yes I made HMTD just to see the detonation and sensitivity and that I made as little as possible and you are right Perfect primary is NAP that is true but in my place Aminoguanidine is very difficult to get but in my place there is a lot of nickel yes I have the intention to synthesize Guanidine maybe and thank you for your advice Mana, and be more enthusiastic in making content!!
@manavali92 is it safer than tatp? cuz i dont want use tatp because the characteristic of the tatp 😂 (dont want to lose my finger while synthesize the tatp, lol)
Yeah, it’s definitely much much safer. Etn is a secondary explosive at temperatures below ~60c. Above 60c it’s actually even more sensitive than tatp, but so long as you’ve got some safe protocols in place it should never get that hot until you want it to explode. To make a detonator using etn, you need to heat-shock it. I’ve got a design that is super simple and hasn’t failed in the 5 times I’ve used it. Basically, wrap a small amount (300-600mg) of etn in a little bit of aluminum foil. Then lay the packet parallel to a couple sparklers and wrap the etn packet and the sparklers up. I usually wrap this in some thick paper and tape to help it build pressure a bit better to guarantee detonation. You can have another sparkler stick out a fair bit, and that can act as your fuse. One thing to note, is as the sparkler burns down towards the charge, the burning will go inside the charge. So when you light it, you’ll see the sparkler for 10-15 seconds, then it will seemingly go out (the sparks are inside the charge) and then ~5 seconds later it will detonate. Organic peroxides are very scary and should be avoided at all costs. If you want an actual primary I’ve heard nickel hydrazine nitrate (nhn) is a great primary, but be careful since hydrazine is pretty damn toxic. Stay safe!! :)
@kaffutheine7638 perhaps, but etn is quite tricky to detonate. I can’t tell you if it’ll work or not, that’s up to you to experiment with hehe I’ve done a couple basic tests using a bridgewire made from a small incandescent christmas light but they haven’t been fully successful yet, hopefully you figure out a good way to do it!
Etn needs a proper Shockwave to detonate. Heating it to decomp doesn't cause a proper detonation. It's a secondary explosive, and needs a primary and to be meltcast to its higher density for a proper 7500kms (-ish don't quote me) detonation. Otherwise, good technique, excellent safety procedures! Using a hot water maker is a method im gonna steal! Thanks!
Not entirely true. ETN is a secondary explosive only while solid, however when heated above 60c it melts and becomes several times more sensitive than TATP. Because of this property, it's possible to get ETN to fully detonate on its own just with heat, given it's in sufficiently large quantity and somewhat confined. Melt casting it also raises the detonation velocity above 8kms, but you need to be REALLY careful and have good safety precautions since melted ETN has a tendency to relieve hobby chemists of their appendages.
Bro... Do some research before you mess with this stuff, that is wildly dangerous. You need to be very careful purifying etn if you plan to store it for any amount of time, otherwise it gets increasingly sensitive and dangerous. DISPOSE OF YOUR ETN IMMEDIATELY or recrystallize it safely, keeping the temperature below 60c and away from any heating elements, like in the latter part of my video. Please be careful and safe!!!
@@ChemisLabNo.999 if it starts to turn yellow just do another recrystallization and it's good to go again. If it's really clean of acids it is good for years.
@@bashkillszombies Do you know a magical technique to prevent the liquid dripping down? I’m all ears if you actually have anything constructive to share.
It doesn’t matter. I think ~24ml or whatever I said in the video is the stoicheometric minimum. You can add more to make stirring easier. I added quite a bit more when I made my etn.
@@manavali92 Can I use 65% nitric acid and how many cc should I use? I went to see how to make it from another recipe. I used potassium nitrate and tried it many times without success so I switched to KNO3 instead. I'll try your method but I don't have a distillation facility. It will increase the concentration of nitric acid. Will try using 68% nitric.
May you have a very long and healthy life.

@kaffutheine7638 perhaps, but etn is quite tricky to detonate. I can’t tell you if it’ll work or not, that’s up to you to experiment with hehe
I’ve done a couple basic tests using a bridgewire made from a small incandescent christmas light but they haven’t been fully successful yet, hopefully you figure out a good way to do it!
13:18 that’s a lot for a foil test 😅, and that bang was large lol.

What concentration of IPA do you use?
The bottle said 99.9%. It was a only a few bucks from the local grocery store.
Etn needs a proper Shockwave to detonate. Heating it to decomp doesn't cause a proper detonation. It's a secondary explosive, and needs a primary and to be meltcast to its higher density for a proper 7500kms (-ish don't quote me) detonation.
Otherwise, good technique, excellent safety procedures! Using a hot water maker is a method im gonna steal! Thanks!
What exactly does melt cast mean? I have heard that a lot on energetic forums
Not entirely true. ETN is a secondary explosive only while solid, however when heated above 60c it melts and becomes several times more sensitive than TATP. Because of this property, it's possible to get ETN to fully detonate on its own just with heat, given it's in sufficiently large quantity and somewhat confined.
Melt casting it also raises the detonation velocity above 8kms, but you need to be REALLY careful and have good safety precautions since melted ETN has a tendency to relieve hobby chemists of their appendages.
@@TheTyler701 Melt casting an explosive means melting it then pouring it into your desired charge
Can i keep it long time,because my old etn was having red gas(nitric oxide) it dangerous or not?? Pls tell me
Bro...
Do some research before you mess with this stuff, that is wildly dangerous. You need to be very careful purifying etn if you plan to store it for any amount of time, otherwise it gets increasingly sensitive and dangerous.
DISPOSE OF YOUR ETN IMMEDIATELY or recrystallize it safely, keeping the temperature below 60c and away from any heating elements, like in the latter part of my video. Please be careful and safe!!!
@@ChemisLabNo.999 if it starts to turn yellow just do another recrystallization and it's good to go again.
If it's really clean of acids it is good for years.
Thx very much ,i will remove acid thxx

What is etn
Explosive
Hm
Hmmmm

Maybe someday. I’ve currently got my eyes on tnt, but I may also make a historical stick of dynamite with NG and mercury fulminate.
@@manavali92 Soaking up NG with diatomaceous earth would be a great video
@@manavali92 historical stick with ng is a great idea fr
@@manavali92 while your pour it put a stirring stick on the lip and the liquid will cling on the stick and flow down.
You're shockingly bad at decanting. Wtaf.
@@bashkillszombies Do you know a magical technique to prevent the liquid dripping down? I’m all ears if you actually have anything constructive to share.
@@manavali92use a glass stir rod pointing into the container you want to pour into, while connecting it with the beaker or glass you’re pouring from
Use a glass stir rod placed along the spout to direct the flow. @@manavali92
@@manavali92 he’s right, do it slower and/or use stirring rod
bruh furry
Lmao, grow up
@@manavali92 bruh an easily offended furry
h2so3 how many ??? CC
It doesn’t matter. I think ~24ml or whatever I said in the video is the stoicheometric minimum. You can add more to make stirring easier. I added quite a bit more when I made my etn.
@@manavali92 Can I use 65% nitric acid and how many cc should I use? I went to see how to make it from another recipe. I used potassium nitrate and tried it many times without success so I switched to KNO3 instead. I'll try your method but I don't have a distillation facility. It will increase the concentration of nitric acid. Will try using 68% nitric.
