This reaction is an example of detonation, a relative of the chemical process of combustion. ANFO (Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil) contains both an oxidizer and fuel source. The ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) reacts with the alkanes in fuel oil (CnH2n+2) to produce Nitrogen (N2), Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).

∙ 9y agoUse a high temperatue spark created by a hand held magneto the same way we detonated claymore mines in the Army. Adding Acetone peroxide and aluminum shavings to the mix makes it very easy to detonate. Remember that Knowing how to make an ANFO bomb (94.5% Ammonium nitrate fertilizer and 5.5% deisel or fuel oil) and detonate it is not illegal but making a bomb is illegall even if you don't detonate it. That was the type of bomb used by Timothy McVeigh in the Oklahoma City Bombing which killed 168 innocent women and children. McVeigh was executed for that heinous crime on June 11th, 2001.

What is the mixture anfo?
the mixture is 2 U.S. quarts of fuel oil per 50 lbs of ammonium nitrate. or %93.7 ammonium nitrate, and %6.3 fuel oil. A blasting cap is needed to detonate anfo because it is very stable unlike Acetone Peroxide which is a good booster when using ANFO because it takes a very little amount of Acetone Peroxide to set of ANFO and Acentone Peroxide can be set of with a flame or even as little as shooting it or hitting it with a hammer can set it off because it is so sensitive.
How is ANFO made?
ANFO is an acronym for Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil which is simply ammonium nitrate fertilizer soaked in diesel fuel or some other form of fuel oil such as charcoal starter fluid. It is almost as powerful as dynamite and is the type of bomb used by Timothy McVeigh in the Oklahoma City Bombing which resulted in the deaths of 168 innocent women and children. McVeigh was executed for that crime on June 11th 2001. The ratio of Ammonium nitrate to Diesel fuel is 94.5% ammonium nitrate and 5.5% diesel fuel. Detonation can be achieved with a high temperature such as a spark from a car battery or fireworks such as m80's. More sophisticated detonators can be made from cell phones, walkie-talkies, or even a magneto such as is used by the Army to detonate a claymore mine. The explosion is more intense if the ANFO is in a compressed container. This information is provided solely for educational purposes and should never be used for making a bomb. Remember, it's not illegal to know how to make a bomb and detonate it but it is illegal to make a bomb even if you don't detonate it.
What is secondary high explosives?
One that will not reliably detonate from heat/flame, but requires the energy of a donor explosive to detonate.
How does explosives detonate?
Simply put an explosive will detonate because of a chemical reaction caused by the heating of a fuse or an electrical charge.
