"ANSO" instead of ANFO

[vulture]

This site describes the use of soybean oil to replace the fuel oil in ANFO, thus making "ANSO"

It's ANSOY.

And this has already been discussed before, along with experiment pictures, variations, result, and etc.

Do a search first.

And this belongs in the high explosives section.

ANSOY is a low explosive, not a high explosive, because it deflagrates; it doesn't detonate.

Once again, you're talking out the side of your neck!

Either Alen or Anthony (the british mods) has already experimented with ANSOY and blew up stumps with it. It IS a high explosive like ANFO.

madscientist: If the speed of deflagration exceeds the speed of sound it = detonation.

it was me that was blowing up trees with it.

I made a thread on it to which can easily be found using a search.

The pictures and movies that were in the post are gone now but all the info is still there.

Oh, and im not british.

Sorry 'bout that.

I tend to think of canada as british, what with parliments and the queen on the money.

"Unlike burning, which can only travel as fast as the flame front can move through the material, high explosives are decomposed almost instantaneously by a supersonic shock wave passing through the material. This instantaneous destruction of all the molecules in the sample is called a detonation, and the rapid expansion of hot gases that results is what causes the destructive blast."

ANFO explodes by a flame front traveling faster than the speed of sound, not because of a supersonic shock wave. A shock wave is not a flame front. If you use the "flame front travels faster than the speed of sound it is detonation" then just about any explosive detonates. Also, then some substances would be high explosives under water, and not high explosives above water. Sorry to disappoint you, but I am not "talking out the side of my neck". I have no respiratory openings in the side of my neck, just a pair of holes known as a "nose" and a larger hole known as a "mouth".

You must be the one that told the "Jolly Roger" that ANFO can be detonated by naked flame...

OK, someone here has obviously not read the rules or read the BFL section.

If this certain individual HAD, they would notice that shit talking to me is not the way to stay a member here.

So, with that out of the way, it's HED for madscientist.

A copy of this is going to the BFL section to educate future generations about evolutionary dead-end known as the "neck talker".
