These are shot on a $30 ebay phone, edited on free app VN. It misformats some shots on rendering, stretching them out like that. Sry.
This is probably the best video I've ever seen. The fact that you mention all of the slightest details of synthesis, means a lot. I know that from my own experience. Such videos teach me and others a lot. Thank you!
I was going to go to sleep and I just had this feeling that I wasn't really on enough lists. I'll sleep well tonight knowing that I'm being watched well. Thanks for the videos... and company.
I like these videos because it's a great balance of accessibility. The overall procedure is laid out so even I can understand the general process, but there's enough detail given that I learn new terms and materials to research on my own.
Love the atf hat in background lmao
lol me too
This is fairly comprehensive and is the most simplified synthesis I've seen.
Thanks for this!😊
People are often so negative about the current state of the world and government but how cool is it that videos like this are just free and available for anyone to see and learn from😂
There's an ATF hat on the desk lol
Thank you for your service, and the excellent presentation.
Great hearing from you again Dug. Awesome vids.
I am only 3 minutes in an I already love this video. As entertaining and informative as channels like Nile Red. You are going to blow up!
I hope that last part wasn’t meant literally.
delet this
Nile Red is tiktoker, not a chemist.
If you have no experience with chemistry you shouldn't do it... Understatement of the century
Hello. Is there way to produce H2SO4 96% at home (or garage)?
So glad to see you back, Dugan. I hope all is well
There is another way to deal with the TNT waste liquid and thats to boil it a bit and add peroxide to oxidize everything organic into CO2 then subsequently distil HNO3 and re concentrate the H2SO4 or distil it aswell.
green chemistry is good chemistry.
for an better environment, :)

Yea but concrete in this method i think that dissolved ammonium sulfate can be a problem. You can't remove it so easily so sulfuric acid will always be contaminated with it.
@@synth1002 distillation
@@CatboyChemicalSociety i don't think so, it will decompose, and ammonia will be reabsorbed
Tolune isn't available in my country what alternative can I use
Man, yall chemists that get off making boom xstals and bang powders are different 😂 great channel, im enjoying it. I like your flow and format
I'm not stupid, I'm not going to do this myself but I have been fascinated by chemistry for a long time. I'm just curious to know how all this is done. Also the classical music in the background is a great touch!
Nice, new video! TNT is SUCH a hassle to make on a small scale. Great for melt casting with other explosives though!
ya. It makes more sense in big batch. Small batch is a lotta work for a little nugget. Not many easy buckets out there with demo
Nice, it’s always epic when you upload :)
Great video !
Your a great chemist and your knowledge just blows me away. Very cool videos you do.,😊
Hey glad to see you again Dugan, hope life is treating you well man.
Thanks for the detailed discussion.
If you have knowledge, I would be interested in a mercury / chlorate free primer compound for ammunition. Thinking the way politics are going, here and abroad, it might be useful to know.
Aardvark reloading
copper 1 carbid and Zincperoxyde would do it
Glad to be on the same watchlist as y'all guys
😆 now you dent brake some one's flower pot an they got you in the lip now did you 😆😆😆👍👍👍good stuff 👍👍
Good material. Good music.
Great editing, couldnt tell it was shot and edited on a phone 👍
Love the classical music, love the chaw in the lip.
Packing bombs while making explosives lol
Thank you dug, very cool👍
been a while since I've seen your username holy smokes same with you @RaoulDuke687 but I think I follow you on insta. Edit: didn't realize I posted from my personal channel . hold up
Switched accounts.
@@dugssuperimportantmassages3872 thanks brother, hope your doing well
@@MitchellBlack-st2kr same to you. Hopefully these strange times are treating you well. I am living that is about all I can say, and I am thankful.

Lead azide for centerfire primers would be neat, but I have no idea how feasable that would be. God bless you and your family, Dugan.
I do have a lead azide method that is streamlined... I will do a video on it.
@@duganashley1337Now we just need a ghetto method for making a bunch of cups and anvils.
I swear at the begining when you mentioned water limiting the reaction my first thought was "well what if you scaveneged the water, maybe with sulfuric?" And here we are at around 10 minutes doing just that. 😂
Thanks for everything dug, love you
Would you be interested in showing how to make toluene from wood gas?
Great Video thank you for giving all the solid history and background. how would a potassium nitrate procedure look like ? or why wouldn't you do it that way ? is it just easier to convert it to ammonium nitrate and go from there ?
Using KNO3 would probably get too viscous to stir properly, but you’d need to figure out how much to use and try it on a SMALL scale to know for sure.
What’s molar concentration? It sounds short for molecular.
The concentration that can be found in your teeth after synthesis.
Those are some smokin' hot BCG's that you are wearing.
Have you considered doing an RDX/keto RDX video? I don't think there are any on YouTube.
Probably next video
@@duganashley1337that's awesome! Hope you're doing well brother.
I hope you too!@@chemistryofquestionablequa6252
Good videos like your style of explaining energetic chemistry ❤ ⚗️ maybe next topic could be about hmtd or etn or maybe hexamine dinitrate or r-salt before rdx😊

what yield did you get ?
Great video Dug. Perfect song choice too, Vivaldi Four Seasons, Summer.
Be careful using sand as your heat ballast. It can scratch your borosilicate flask, especially when you're trying to initially make the divot the flask is going to sit in.
Super happy to see you doing well. Is there a way for people to throw you a few bucks for science equipment / materials?
thanks, doing great. I hope you are too. I dont have anyway to receive money. lol. Thank you.
Heavy lies the crown.
Hit me up if you want more synthesis info. I have a degree in chemistry and am a GWOT vet
Whatchu got, man!? Anything rare? Ive been researching Von Hertz old patents, he tried to come up with an alternative melt-cast nitrate from MEA. It was hygroscopic, so then he found a higher energy one in the oxamide form a supposed condensation of MEA and Oxalic Acid. It's known as NENO apparently. Ive been stuck on the condensation part. I thought simply dropping MEA into Oxalic Acid solution would cause condensation, but no luck on getting anything to crash out after nitration. Should be an insoluble nitramine melt-cast product. Any advice?
Can i use Ethanol instead IPA??
Yes, alcohol was the original purification method before development of sulfitation and was only replaced because sulfite is cheaper than ethanol as a bulk industrial product. IPA is just used because it is cheaper than ethanol.
@@duganashley1337 Thank you, i was asking because in my country ethanol is cheaper
Спасибо друг за познавательное видео,в прошлом химик,но сейчас уже на пенсии ,нет возможности реактивить и твое видео всколыхнуло в памяти молодость в универе.
Toluol, is Spanish for fiesta!
Did lame tube ban ? Chad of Chadly awarded to your service.
Someone help me, I want to get into chemistry but have no ideas or clues where to start. I need a foundation I can build off of.
Love these videos! Very educational and fun to watch. Never knew this was legal? But I guess you would be in jail if not lol. I would have to check my local laws before I tried any of these experiments though. For now I just enjoy watching you do them!
I too would be very interested in seeing an easy way to make a noncorrosive way of making rifle primers!!! Would definitely be good knowledge to have in my head for the uncertain future!!
It's legal if not storing or transporting or making weapons. Practically all explosives were developed by civilians. Govs pick them up after they find out they are useful. In the future, explosives will be used as chemical power plants for cities and bursts of high energy electromagnetism. They havent got that far yet, but someday. I just do research & development. sometimes may or may not be used by government interests. If ATF wanted to harass and terrorize me they could find something or just create a new interpretation of their "regulations". It's not possible however to regulate explosives. Practically any material can be used as an explosive by anyone with knowledge.
