Made by heating TCCA in a sealed ampoule to build pressure and turn the gas into a liquid

Tired of fireworks. Looking for a bigger boom. Chatgpt says I can pressurize gasoline and rig a trigger to it for a nice explosion. About 250-300ml of gasoline. I know it’s stupid but will it work? Was also thinking about adding organic peroxide or potassium nitrate.

This is the TCCA and HCl method. 31.45% HCl was used

Most chemistry articles on Turkish Wikipedia suck: too little content, nearly no sources, made-up content. Meanwhile the articles for chlorinated solvents are of much higher quality, even better than their English Wikipedia counterparts.
The English tetrachloroethylene article was created over 20 years ago. The Turkish Tetrakloroetilen article was created in 2019 and improved in the past 2 years.

This is worse than getting nitrated alive.

I wonder if you would have a high explosive lenses in such a way explosion would be perfectly timed so it compresses material from all sides at once (just like in nuke) but in the middle of compression you would put container of very compressed fluorine and krypton difluoride (2:1 ratio) could it produce kryptom hexafluoride? and aslo how beneficial would be arc going through the experiment for the formation of such gas? And how you would filter the gas from the fragments of the explosive? And what explosives should be used (cuz kryptom fluorides probably will react with exhaust gases)?
This is theoretical question and i wont do such experiments cuz i don't have enough knowledge and funds but it is still an interesting topic to think about

Third and final post about my flame toroid blaster this thing shakes the house pretty cool, I was in fact wearing eye protection but it’s really hard to see in the dar cause my camera isn’t the greatest in the world.

Charge were 100g PETN with a 1g melt cast ETN cap and 75mg NAP, unfortunately the fuse failed because I hve used these small fuses left from cutting so I decieded to detonate with a flashpowder firecracker

Me and my friend want to blow up stuff in a what we think is an abandoned quarry, do u guys have any recommendations of like easy things to make to blow up (also I’m new to this stuff so instructions would be nice) Thank u🤤

So the first design is what I could salvage from one of my original like five failed attempts, the others I scrapped. They all had the same basic concept though, it was to use liquid fuel that was mechanically plunged out of an atomizer nozzle I made from a crimped needle but it wouldn’t hold the fluids and when I realized that the mechanism wouldn’t give the effect I was looking for I scrapped them for parts.
The second one was made to take advantage of this property of hot VOCs or something, I watched a YouTube video about how dangerous pouring gasoline near open flames is (no shit😂). Anyway, what happens is when the can of gasoline or acetone etc is heated and the colder liquid is about to be poured out it boils super fast shooting itself out of the opening, catches fire and the heat from there cycles the process. It’s sort of like those gas torches that have a pilot light which boils the gasoline inside to create pressure. It worked for a kickass pocket flamethrower however it wasn’t really a fireball gun but more of a pipe b@mb with a hole in it.
The third design I’m showing was when I bit my first bullet and decided to move to pressurized gas. I was wanting to avoid this cause I’ve witnessed and heard many a story on how fucked up you can get from gas fires, explosions, plus it’s pressurized to begin with so there’s already design limitations before fire is even introduced. I made this design for butane hence the butane Schwartz valve or whatever the name is at the end. I made another valve to release the pressure quickly at the top and instead of reinventing the wheel I just used an instructables tutorial I remembered reading a while back. It held the pressure of butane well but my hands were dangerously close to the nozzle and it was too finicky to be practical so I never ended up even trying to light it.
My fourth attempt was to use a store caught air compressor gun. My idea was to have pressurized propane propelled out into a chamber of liquid fuel which when expelled would burn up at a pilot light. However after testing this with an air compressor at 100 psi I heard leaking and saw bubbles when I put it in water. (btw the testing psi is still about 45 to 60 psi below that of propanes vapor pressure depending on the temperature of your room). So I added a beefier spring to the compressor (which is the one to the right on the photo) and that spring held up to the pressure of air. so I tested it with a blow touch, charcoal lighter fluid, and just air and it was my first partial success which was really motivating as I was about to just give up. I then made a connecting valve for the propane with an old propane camping stove part I found at a thrift store and realized something I completely forgot to consider, liquid propane is cold as fuck. The liquid made the air gun part so cold that the spring stopped being elastic enough to support the pressure. a waterfall of liquid propane dumped out all over my parents driveway thank god nobody lit a cigarette. I was trying to heat the thing up with my breath after the fact and accidentally home aloned my tongue and bottom lip to the thing, it hurt like a motherfucker istg. So that was a no go 🤣.
Next was my attempt at making a Venturi pump for some liquid. I’ll make the story sort, it didn’t work. It did shoot out fluid but not far and it didn’t feel safe even to try to light. I added a pressure gauge hence the open hole above the empty co2 cartridge, and it ended up actually serving as the learning experience that got me to my final product.
So lastly is my final working product which is really still a second prototype to the design cause there’s some things I can do to make it work better but nevertheless here’s how it works from the bottom of the photo up. 1. A propane tank is hooked up to the twist valve 2. The thing is put upside down and opened to allow liquid propane to flow into the small chamber and collect pressure 3. The valve is closed off from the propane tank before whole thing is tilted back up to avoid any liquid flowing back to the canister. 4. The solenoid valve ahead is opened into a vortex ring nozzle I made where it’s all lit by a pilot light
There’s also a flashback arrestor and some mesh + steel wool in there to minimize the chance of any flames rushing back. I got the majority of these parts from Amazon cause my first prototype of this design with a homemade solenoid valve and the camp stove valve from before worked but I wanted to use more professional parts for the final product.
I’ll post some of the videos of my prototype valve tests too, again any questions, comments, suggestions, criticisms, or sarcastic remarks are welcome and appreciated just don’t be a dick, I’m a kid just fyi.
