This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I've decided which recipe to put on my headstone:

Preparation Of Hexamine Peroxide[C6Hi2O6N2]

  1. Take 3.5grams Hexamine [and put it into beakerl containing 11.25grams Hydrogen peroxide (20 - 30% concentration).
  2. Add 5.25grams of concentrated Citric Acid [C6H8O7] or Acetic acid [CH3COOH] to beaker 1.
  3. Mix well for 30minutes, temperature should be between 30-42°C,then cover and leave it in a bowl of cold water till it becomes semi flour like (don't leave unattended)
  4. Once semi flour, pour on top of it the solution of Sodium Carbonate [Na2CO3], keep pouring and stirring till it become neutral. Also to make it more pure wash it with 5 part Alcohol and 1 part Water solution.
  5. Once neutral, filter it, collect crystals and leave it to dry in sun.
  6. Once dry you can store it in water, in the following ratio = 3 part Water: 1 part Hexamine Peroxide.

At first glance I thought you just shared how to make Meth, but turns out its "just" an explosive.
