well...im not going to tell you how to make gunpowder, but a pretty fun home made 'bomb' can be made out of a tennis ball, some match sticks and lots of duck tape. It takes ages but;\n\nchop the tips off matches (wear gloves)\ncut a small slit in a tennis ball and stuff the matchheads in, as many as you can. Wrap the whole thing in duck tape so its really airtight.\n\nNow, to set the thing off, just throw it really hard at a wall or something (for gods sake dont throw it at someone) The matchheads will ignite and the pressure build up will cause the tennis ball to rupture giving a nice satisfying bang. \n\ngood thing about this is you cant commit a terrorist outrage with it, and its not powerful enough to really harm anybody - but still, be careful when you use it, dont dick around because if it goes off in your hand it could do some damage - the noise is really loud too - you dont want to go deaf. Bottom line is - the thing might take up to a minute to actually blow up (usually takes a few seconds but still), dont throw it at something then wander over and pick it up again!!\n\nhave fun and dont kill anybody\nhope this helps

Fireworks utilize a rapid chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidizer to release energy is the form of heat, light, and sound.\n\nGun powder is a common firework chemical.  Gun powder is made out of mixture of Sulfur, Charcoal, and Potassium Nitrate.  The Sulfur and Charcoal act as the fuel and the Potassium Nitrare acts as the Oxidizer.  When the power is ignited, the chemicals react together very quickly to produced to "explosive" results.

Ever hear of the Nobel Prize? It´s instigated in the honor of the Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel who "discovered" dynamite. Here´s some facts:\n\nNobel found that when nitroglycerin was incorporated in an absorbent inert substance like kieselguhr (diatomaceous earth) it became safer and more convenient to manipulate, and this mixture he patented in 1867 as dynamite.\n\nSeveral explosions were reported at their family-owned factory in Heleneborg, and a disastrous one in 1864 killed Alfred's younger brother Emil and several other workers.

Depends on what is is made of.

whatever one you get to make explosives the most with.  \n\n   =)

fuels are hydrocarbons.  Fossil fuels, which are derived from fossils of animals which have died years ago.  Jewelry, such as gold, is simply gold...  Diamonds are made up of coal that has crystalized over millions of years.  Coins such as dimes are made up of nickel.  Penny's mostly copper, and some coins used to be made up of silver. Cookware is usually made up of tin, or iron (Sometimes silver, such as china.)  Detergent is made from petroleum which is derived from hydrocarbons.

Loads of stuff. Oil is broken down in to many different substances, and stuff is made from them. Plastic, polyester, polythene, nylon etc. They use a bi-product to make roads. Plus lubricants, vaseline, industrial grease. I think you can get alcohols from it, ethanol, methanol etc. Different fuels come from it, diesel, aviation fuel, jet fuel, normal fuel. You'd be surprised.\nUuuh, and all the stuff he said up there too.

abrams 120mm.. they are made from depleted uranium which acts as a superheating element.. makes a nice tank buster.. they are not very safe however.. because they are radioactive. the people who clean those things up get very sick..

Potassium Nitrate is used as stump remover and is sold in home improvement/gardening stores as well as online.\n\nYou can also make it yourself by extracing out the Nitrates from Nitrate bearing substances (anmimal dung for one).\n\nUnless you know what your doing (which I assume you dont since you have to ask where to get KNO3), I wouldnt make any fireworks/explosives.

Nothing is indestructable, everything burns or melts at a certain temperature. even aerogel, the most fire resistant synthetic material, has a melting point of about 2000 degrees farenheit. This website should help clear it up, \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Box_%28transportation%29\n\nbut basically it is a quarter of an inch thick steel with fireproof material like kevlar underneath. it is a flight data recorder and voice recorder that can store flight data to tell what went wrong and voice recorder to tell if it was a terrorist attack/highjack or determine if it was a human error. old ones used to have moving parts and failed occasianally, but newer digital ones have no moving parts, hold more information, and never fail that i have heard about.

Often, dynamite is used to loosen piled up snow while no one is on a ski run or mountain to prevent a large pile up of snow. When the snow gets too heavy and you have a warmer day, it will cause a large avalanche, often with casualties or death. Loosening the snow prevents the snow from piling up too high and is taken care of when there is not a possibility of anyone getting hurt.

A small explosive that when thrown down hard against a hard surface explodes. The explosion is loud but mainly harmless like a cap.

i don't know exactly how the film is made. but the polythene is made up of monomers called ethene. Ethene is an alkene - notice the 'ene' on the end. Ethene has come from a process of 'cracking'. Before cracking, ethene was ethane - and guess what these are called- alkanes - notice the 'ane'. Alkanes make up crude oil, which we fractionally distill to get fuels such as petrol (for cars) and kerosine( aeroplane fuel)  \nAll these monomers (ethene) will join together to make a polymer - which in this case is polythene - in theory it should be called polyethene, not polythene. This process is called polymersiation. \n\nthis is it in basic form\n\ncrude oil ---> fractionally distilled (burn off fuels at certain temperatures) ----> get alkanes (which have a single carbon bond)-->process of cracking --> get an alkene (which have a double carbon bond - making it more reactive than an alkane) -->example - get ethene, which is a monomer ---> this monomer comes together with other monomers to make a polymer----> this process is polymerisation ----> the ethene monomers will come together to form polythene\n\nThere are other examples - such as the alkane - propane - notice 'ane' again. Once propane is cracked, it will form into an alkene called propene - notice 'ene' - the monomers are propene. So loads of propene monomers will come together (polymerisation) and form polyPROPene , not polyTHEne

The store keepers in the silver mine in Potosi, Bolivia sell dynamite for $2 a stick.\nThat seems to keep the miners happy.

A volcano is made by a solid that turns into a liquid and has the opportunity to rise through some kind of solid. It helps realism if it includes something like gas, because that is also part of a volcanic eruption.\n\nThere are several great ideas here:http://volcano.und.edu/vwdocs/volc_models/explosive.html
