I know to make ANNM you simply need ammonium nitrate and nitromethane. I know you can buy nitromethane from some hobby shops that sell model engines stuff. From experience in car racing I know it is a sort of fuel used in some race engines. So is ANNM pretty much just like ANFO but more explosive because of the higher performance of nitromethane?

you can get nitromethane from r/c fule Obtain some model airplane racing fuel (e.g. SIG Champion 35, SIG
Corporation). This or an equivalent is available from a hobby store.
Plåce one quart in a 2000 ml flask or a narrow necked gallon jar. Place a
one hole stopper in this container with a stainless or glass tubing
running just through the stopper. The other end of this tubing is placed
through another stopper (two hole) fitted into another gallon jar or flask.
This tubing should reach to the bottom of the second container. The second
hole in this stopper is hooked to a vacuum source. The first flask is
placed in a hot oil or water bath at 50 degrees C. The second jar is placed
in a salted ice bath. The vacuum is then drawn. The nitro methane and
methanol will begin to collect in the second container. This is continued
until only about 5-10% of the solution in the first flask remains. The
liquid from the second flask is removed after the vacuum is released. This
is poured into a shallow pyrex or stainless steel pan or dish. Let this set
over night. This will allow the methanol to evaporate. The remaining liquid
is 85-95% nitro methane with the remainder being methanol. This compound
will work almost as well as a pure compound.
i can not take cretit for this i just use it

Much better to buy it pure, and easier as well. Just say you want to tune the performance of your model engine, so you need to be able to control the NM concentration.
Oh, by the way ANNM is considerably more powerful than ANFO, as well as easier to initiate.

Ive read that you can leave the methanol in the nm racing fuel mix . i dont know if it works & if it does how it would affect dv & sensitivity

I was watching 'Speed and beauty' on M&M (Men and Motors - UK TV channel) where they were racing suicidal v8-like speedboats. Some of the boats were powered by Nitromethane, which is, according the the show, also known as 'Top Fuel' (this also seemed to be the manufacturer of the fuel)

Yep...They burn nitromethane. Top fuels dragsters (you know, the 320 mph ones?) also burn it..I think any dragster referred to as 'fuel' burns NM. I think it smells pretty good when it burns hehe..

Why go through all the trouble when you can buy pure NM. It runs for only about $30 a gallon. Check it out, http://www.worldwideracingfuels.com/products/fuel.htm
And does anyone know what happend to this site? http://www.powerfuel.com./nitromethane.html
I sent them a money order for a gallon of NM and never got it.
