Model Forum / General / Rockets / August 2004AP as explosive on CSI
So my wife was watching CSI last night and I walked into see a scene where there was a science project of a volcano and a bottle of AP. They said something to the effect that it was the main ingredient in explosives. Anyone else see this? RDH8 Do a Google newsgroup search for MANY months ago when this first aired. You saw a re-run. This thread is a re-run. -Fred Shecter NAR 20117  Signature"""Remove "zorch" from address (2 places) to reply. > So my wife was watching CSI last night and I walked into see a scene where > there was a science project of a volcano and a bottle of AP.

And hopefully not "Family Business". ;-) -Fred Shecter NAR 20117 Signature"""Remove "zorch" from address (2 places) to reply. > > > Ok, [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > steve :) > So my wife was watching CSI last night and I walked into see a scene where > there was a science project of a volcano and a bottle of AP. > They said something to the effect that it was the main ingredient in > explosives. > > Anyone else see this? I did. They didn't really say AP was explosive (and in fact the application it was being used for, a science fair, was very much non-explosive). The explosive mixture was AP + Gasoline. But they did refer to AP as "rocket fuel". They also said anyone could get it at a chemical supply house. The perp was a teacher, btw, which only supports the opinion that teachers should be strictly regulated. >The perp was a teacher, btw, which >only supports the opinion that teachers should be strictly regulated. Sounds like a good topic for Cross Balls. Aye Reece? Cross Balls is either a sports show on a religious channel or a religious show on an adult channel. Crossballs is on Comedy Central And there's one "l" in Fire Marshal. http://www.comedycentral.com/tv_shows/crossballs/ Signature"""Remove "zorch" from address (2 places) to reply. > > >The perp was a teacher, btw, which > >only supports the opinion that teachers should be strictly regulated. > > Sounds like a good topic for Cross Balls.

That's funny cause Ammonium Dichromate is used in volcano science projects. Sure you heard right? If so, it doesn't surprise me as Hollywood is full of idiots when it comes to getting the facts right. Wait! I take that back... Hollywood is full of idiots. (period). HA HA, I made a funny! >That's funny cause Ammonium Dichromate is used in volcano science >projects. Is that the orange crystals that turns into a green powdery ash after it burns? That stuff was pretty cool, from what I remember...<g> Eldred Signaturehttp://www.umich.edu/~epickett Screamers League IICC League GPLRank -6.0 MoGPL rank +267.80 Ch.Rank +52.58 MoC +741.71 Hist. +82.34 MoH:na N2k3 rank:in progress Slayer Spektera lvl 79 assassin Slayer Spectral_K lvl 44 Necro US East > >That's funny cause Ammonium Dichromate is used in volcano science > >projects. > > Is that the orange crystals that turns into a green powdery ash after it burns?

Sure you heard right? Well, they both start with ammonium and end with -ate, what more do you want? We used to make volcanoes with potassium permanganate; just dribble some glycerin on the top of the pile. len. I saw the original airing of the program a few months ago and thought it was interesting. I didn't see any reference to it being tied to rockets, just an ingredient for making the volcanic action occur in a science project a kid was building.
