helix dynamyte is a safer form of nitro frist off dont try to make this shit inless you know what the fuck your doing i came very close to blowing my fucking hand off and never ever fucking bake it you stuip fuck
DO NOT FUCKING TRY THIS AND IF YOU DO I DIDT TELL YOU HOW TO THIS IS JUST FOR FUN AND SHIT LIKE THAT SO I DONT GET PUT IN FUCKING JAIL KK

Like all chemists I must advise you all to take the greatest care and caution when you are doing this. Even if you have made this stuff before. This first article will give you information on making nitroglycerin, the basic ingredient in a lot of explosives such as straight dynamites, and gelatin dynamites.
Making nitroglycerin:
1.Fill a 75-milliliter beaker to the 13 mL. Level with fuming red nitric acid, of 98% pure concentration.
2.Place the beaker in an ice bath and allow to cool below room temp.
3.After it has cooled, add to it three times the amount of fuming sulferic
acid (99% h2so4). In other words, add to the now-cool fuming nitric
acid 39 mL. Of fuming sulferic acid. When mixing any acids, always do it slowly and carefully to avoid splattering.
4.When the two are mixed, lower their temp. By adding more ice to the bath, about 10-15øC. (Use a mercury-operated thermometer)
5.When the
acid solution has cooled to the desired temperature, it is ready for the glycerin. The glycerin must be added in small amounts using a medicine dropper. (Read this step about 10 times!) Glycerin is added slowly and carefully (I mean careful!) Until the entire surface of the
acid it covered with it.
6.This is a dangerous point since the nitration will take place as soon as the glycerin is added. The nitration will produce heat, so the solution must be kept below 30øC! If the solution should go above 30øC, immediately dump the solution into the ice bath! This will insure that it does not go off in your face!
7.For the first ten minutes of nitration, the mixture should be gently stirred. In a normal reaction the nitroglycerin will form as a layer on top of the
acid solution, while the sulferic
acid will absorb the excess water.
8.After the nitration has taken place, and the nitroglycerin has formed on the top of the solution, the entire beaker should be transferred slowly and carefully to another beaker of water. When this is done the nitroglycerin will settle at the bottom so the other acids can be drained away.
9.After removing as much
acid as possible without disturbing the nitroglycerin, remove the nitroglycerin with an eyedropper and place it in a bicarbonate of soda (sodium bicarbonate in case you didn't know) solution. The sodium is an alkali and will neutralize much of the
acid remaining. This process should be repeated as much as necessary using blue litmus paper to check for the presence of acid. The remaining
acid only makes the nitroglycerin more unstable than it already is.
10.Finally! The final step is to remove the nitroglycerin from the bicarbonate. His is done with and eye- dropper, slowly and carefully. The usual test to see if nitration has been successful is to place one drop of the nitroglycerin on metal and ignite it. If it is true nitroglycerin it will burn with a clear blue flame.
** Caution **
Nitro is very sensitive to decomposition, heating dropping, or jarring, and may explode if left undisturbed and cool.
