Phil, will you stop doing this, you are rattling so many old memories. Good god, yes Jetex engine stuff, I remember that. You'll be on about tiger nuts and frozen jubblies next..... Frozen Jubblies were wierd because you had to bite the corner off the cardboard thing, and then suck the stuff out through the ice crystals... My most favourity motor was the Atom 35, using Jetex smoke pellets for propulsion. It used to make balsawood gliders fly well when screwed to the base and the ignita wick was lit. I mostly used the motor pellets for pop-pop boats! [edit]Noo, that was some kind of pellets soaked in meths, wasnt it![/edit] |

Regarding Phil's question - I used to make lots of nitrogen triiodide by dissolving iodine crystals in 88 ammonia for 2 hours, with lots of shaking. Drain, wash and store in wet paper towels. Aah, that was it. You ended up with purple liquid with sludge in the bottom, which you put on the towels. Then gently drop down the 7-storey stairwell. One lab chemical I played with was a variation on nitrosoamine. This was a colourless liquid which turned venal blood red when mixed with urine. And did you get expelled? |
