Warning:
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. Acetone Peroxide is extremely flammable when wet and extremely explosive when dry. I worked with the wet quantity to perform this fire show. Do not detonate dry acetone peroxide like this! This is for demonstration purposes only.

NOTICE!
Considering the full synthesis is already outlined in detail on Wikipedia and Google Patents, I felt it was reasonable to post this video. Also, syntheses on nitroglycerin, trinitrotoluene (TNT), and recently RDX (military explosive) are far more dangerous explosives available on Youtube, so I believe releasing this video about a weak and unreliable explosive was not concerning.

That said, heed all warnings about this chemical and check for the legality of this process by legal statutes in your local area before ever proceeding with anything shown on this channel.
