                     Self detonating explosive

Mix powdered copper with ammonium nitrate and moisten with water.
Cupric nitrate will form and spontaneously explode.
This mixture can be used as a detonator for a much larger stack of
ammonium nitrate. One gallon kerosene mixed with each fifty pounds
of ammonium nitrate added to the stack will boost the explosive
yield tremendously. Adding aluminum powder to the mix will boost
the yield again.
