ne1 have any info on binary liquids?

With baking glistering pure20mls and sulphuric acid 60%ish (don't use pure)50mls and 50mls of pure nitric acid you will produce nitroglycerin. If you do not chill this mix during making the exothermic reaction causing a medium size explosion. If you keep the temp below 14 degrees Celsius and draw off the milky white nitroglycerin you can wash the acid out and use the solidified nitro for whatever.

There are at least three possibly-mortal errors and/or omissions in that.

List protocol is not to discuss high explosives here, except for pyro
use, so I won't say what they are.

If you really want to make nitroglycerine look elsewhere. It isn't hard
to find the real info.

But he does tell you how to make flat glass...

No, he doesn't... so-called "float glass" isn't nearly as flat as 'plate'
glass, cast on a plate (no, duh!) <G>.

Pull this from the back or what is left of my mind.

A technique developed in Great Britain in the 1950s, called the float-glass method, results in an important economy of space. The molten glass is conveyed onto a bath of a molten metal, such as tin. The high temperature of the molten metal smooths out any irregularities on the surface, making a flat, even sheet. As the glass floats on top of the bath, the temperature of the molten metal is gradually reduced until the glass solidifies.

One would be hard pressed to make a metal plate flatter then liquid tin.

At a Scottish wedding the bridegroom, as was
customary at a wedding breakfast, arose to
respond to the toast of the health of the bride. He
was not used to public speaking and, words
failing him, he contented himself with the response,
"Well, there's naething wrang with the woman" ; and
in proposing the toast of "Applied Science" he
should like to point the moral of this story, and say
that there was nothing wrong with it ; that it was in a
state of absolute health, and in this country, as well
as in others, it was in a state of marvelous fertility,
and as each branch of Applied Sciences was apparently
capable of producing any number of other branches of
Applied Science, as time went on they might expect
a somewhat numerous family.
