ANTI...

Here's a fun little chemistry experiment.  Do be careful with this stuff.  In this post I'll be teaching you how to make a chemical called ANTI.  It has a few useful applications when you think along the lines of improvised weaponry and zombie attacks, or whatever.  It's pretty easy to make but first let me give you a bit of background info about it.

I recommend making a very small amount at first to see what it can do.  It's a high explosive, a fulminate, that is sensitive enough to be set off at the touch of a feather.  Imagine a high explosive that is easy to make, which is harmless while moist, but devastating when it dries.  Say you put a moist piece of this stuff into a pipe bomb 3/4 full of powder, or stuck it to a stick of dynamite, and left it under a car seat.  Your target (can zombies even drive?) would get about an hour down the road while the chemical dries and then the slightest vibration of the car would set off the anti and thus the dynamite or explosive.  I'm sure you can think up other uses but I'll get to the good part now.

Recipe:
You'll need iodine crystals and strong ammonia.  You might be able to find these at certain pharmacies near hospitals, or probably on the web.  I would advise against buying both from the same place.  To make ANTI, just drop iodine crystals into ten times their amount of strong ammonia.  A few grains will be enough to prove the process.  After letting it soak for about 10 minutes, swirl, and pour the iodine crystals into a coffee filter.  Scrape up the crystals and/or paste with a knife or spatula.

Precautions:
Be careful as these start to dry.  A small pile of treated crystals will set each other off as they dry and settle.  The paste has more consistent drying times and will dry more uniformly and shouldn't set itself off, but be careful anyway.

Storage and transport:
A good way to store this or carry it around is to cut a small square out of the corner of a plastic baggy.  Put the ANTI in the bottom corner and roll it up, then wrap this in a wet cloth, and roll that up.  Then put this into a whole baggy and roll that up too.  The ANTI could stay this way for months and yet be ready to use at any time.

Comments are appreciated as always.  Let me know what you think of this!
