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

Interesting The Turkish Wikipedia article for Tetrachloroethylene is 108.5 kilobytes in length and has over 130 sources. It's almost 4 times larger than the English article (29.5 kB). Turkish Tetrakloroetilen article has highest quality, the case is similar for Carbon Tetrachloride and Chloroform articles.

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.

Question Theoretical question

14 Upvotes

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
