I started thinking, is the recipe true, that when you mix nitric acid and glycerin that you get nitroglycerin?

Is it really that easy? A trip to Home Depot and your local drug store, and you have the ingredients to make large quantities of nitroglycerin? And then Home Depot could supply the sawdust to make dynamite...

EDIT:
I did some research, is it really as simple as mixing KNO3 and sulfuric acid, then adding your glycerin? Do you even need to remove the nitric acid from your acid solution?]]> http://www.anarchistcookbook.com/showthread.php?t=22466 Pyro _K_> http://www.anarchistcookbook.com/showthread.php?t=21783 Thu, 23 Oct 2008 20:46:51 GMT
It wasn't very long, or very good, but It said something about "burning onions and capturing the vapors". I did some more research, and found that yes, onions do contain a large amount of sulfur, and yes, when sulfur burns it becomes sulfur dioxide. But now my curiosity is active:

Can you really obtain a semi-usable form of sulfur by burning an onion?]]> http://www.anarchistcookbook.com/showthread.php?t=21783 Pyro _K_> http://www.anarchistcookbook.com/showthread.php?t=21699 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 20:14:08 GMT
[EDIT] I'm also looking to build a mill, and I was wondering, do copper bb's spark?]]> http://www.anarchistcookbook.com/showthread.php?t=21699 Pyro _K_> http://www.anarchistcookbook.com/showthread.php?t=21437 Tue, 07 Oct 2008 21:16:25 GMT
Let me first get one thing clear: I am not Christian. I am not Jewish. I am not Muslim. I am not Buddist. I am not Athiest. I simply do not beleive in religion. This means that I believe that attempting to listen to, or please a being that you cannot prove exists is a waste of time. I also believe that arguing to people that there is no god is a waste of time. If you have any problems with this statement, or consider this offensive, stop reading now.

I often wonder about questions that have no answer, and recently I have been thinking about this one: Is it possible to prove God exists? Most would say no, simply because they have heard it all their life. I however, do not accept that answer, and have come up with some ideas.

Let me first start with some holes in the existance of God:
1) God is a man-made idea. Therefor, he cannot exist.
2) The belief that god created the earth in seven days is wrong. The earth was formed over 4 billion years of weathering and shaping by nature;
3) This is perhaps the biggest: how can a being that lives and exists outside of the plane of space and time affect what happens in it?

Now, let me offer some arguments:
1) God is a being that lives outside of time, so one day in his life is equal to about 800 million years.
2) Some say that nature is god. Therefor, God fits in with the theory of evolution, as he shaped animals and beings over a period of several million years.
3) Every religion believes in the one God. They simply call him different things.

Now, my proof:
Many ideas have been taken as complete and total truth, yet later on proven to be false. These ideas arise from human nature, more specifically, the need to answer all questions. This is how theories such as "the world is flat", or "the universe revolves around earth" were created. However, one question that arose fairly early is "where did we come from?" If you look at history, polytheism lasted for a short amount of time, whereas monotheism has stuck. This is the question:

Is there something keeping monotheism from dying out? Is there really a being that exists, and that is why belief in God has not diminished?

Please, discuss. I will offer some explinations that I have thought of later.]]> http://www.anarchistcookbook.com/showthread.php?t=21437 Enlightened Individuals _K_> http://www.anarchistcookbook.com/showthread.php?t=21384 Fri, 03 Oct 2008 22:04:49 GMT
Also, I just wanted to ask if salt could be used instead of potassium nitrate. I saw a recipe a while back that said it would work just fine.]]> http://www.anarchistcookbook.com/showthread.php?t=21384 Pyro _K_>
