Iodides and Nitrides are nasty stuff!!
That reminds me of the time I made ammonium iodide crystals. I had about a teaspoonfull
drying on a paper towel while I was on the computer. The purity must have come out a bit
high because some air current or something set them off. It was like a 10x14 room. Damn
were my ears ringing. Those thing have got to be like the easiest high explosive to make.
I remember that "book", hehe. Good old times. These days it is dangerous to post things like that online.
Strange. I did mine with 425 mesh and it burns waaaay too fast. Maybe it's the mix or oxide particle size.
BTW: my new phone will have a 120fps camera. Will try to make a nice slow-motion video of thermite.
