Has anyone make Hydrogen Iodine? If you havnt heard of it its hydrogen gas and iodine gas combined to make a explosive. Or hydrogen gas driped into iodine (liquid) to making a gas. If you have heard it or made it post a message.

Do you mean hydrogen iodide gas? If so, it is not explosive, nor flammable. It is just anhydrous hydroiodic acid, like HCl. The only way a mixture of iodine and hydrogen is explosive is because hydrogen is explosive.

Hydriodic acid (HI gas in water) is used in clandestine chemistry for making methamphetamine by reduction of ephedrine.
It has no explosive use.
To make it, place a quantity of iodine crystals in distilled water. Bubble a stream of hydrogen sulfide gas through the solution till no crystals are visible at the bottom of the flask.
Then filter through glass wool to remove the elemental sulfur that precipitates out. Concentration is determined by specific gravity.
Distillation yields the 1.54 needed for reduction.
Hydrogen sulfide is easily made by mixing sulfur and paraffin wax (or kerosene)and heating to just high enough to melt the sulfur. Pass the gas through a long, wide tube loosely filled with cotton wool to filter out sulfur particles.
If none of the above information has any meaning to you, you obviously didn't need to ask the question in the first place.

Be careful... Hydrogen sulphide is a *mite* toxic

Hydrogen Iodine is used as an inhibitor in liquid rocket fuel that contains red fuming nitric acid/kerosene mixtures to stop it eating the metal fuel tanks.

2HI<==>H2 + I2
The reaction is easily reversible reason why HI is a good mild reducer...
