any idea where i can get some iodine crystals? do drug stores still sell them or am i gonna have to steal them from school cause i got a kick ass senior prank that needs nitrogen tri iodide

all you need is that iodine stuff for wounds (5%), but unless your going to invest time and money in it, its not really worth doing.

NI3 is incredibly unstable.

You'll hurt yourself.

its stable when wet, if i make a paste out of it it will be less unstable but still have the same boom.

Its going to be useless wet. NI3 and NCL3 are more or less useless. NI3 is weak and unstable. NCL3 is powerful but so unstable its nuts to even make. Don't waste your time or efforts, they will simply result in serious injury and most likly your arrest.

when they dry they are potent again...but with two tellin me i shouldnt i guess i wont...any alternate ideas then?

just wondering how this could be used in a prank lol... dosnt seem like you could use this in much of a prank...

well you see kryogenix, while NI3 may be weak..it has just enough oomf to send a slammed drawer or door back at the person, screw with the molarity a little bit and you make it just right to make it pop back out, so what i was gonna do was lace the doors and drawers in my school with ni3 capsules that would break on impact , then the bang from the NI3 would send it back at the person who closed it with enough force, but i changed my mind about doin this already

if the latch part of the door gets in the lil hole thing b4 they go off, they'll just blow w/o the door goin anywhere. the drawers would work tho, and that'd b fuckin hilarious.

silly and juvenile but truly fun shit! try putting some in a lock with a syringe and when it drys it will send a the key flying out when the user inserts it! i have done this before but i forget exactly what i used.
