I got the formula from "Chemical Magic", one of the books in GRAND-DAD'S WONDERFUL BOOK OF CHEMISTRY. ANTI is simply iodine crystals soaked in strong ammonia. The book advises making up just a little bit and demonstra- ting how it can be set off by the touch of a feather.You see it is an explosive. In fact, it's a high explosive; a fulminate! The reason other writers have dismissed it as having no practical application is probably because they don't think along the lines of improved weaponry. But I do. I made about a teaspoonful and spread it out an eighth of an inch(0,3cm) thick on my work table and let it dry. Then I barely touched it with a feather. Instead of the snap-crackle-pop effect described in the book, it was a real explosion. The table was pitted and my ears rang. After having made far more than required to demostrate this amazingly unstable substance, I was struck by its heretofore unmentioned potential as a weapon. Imagine a high explosive anyone can make and which is harmless while moist but devastating when dry. Say you put a moist piece about the size of a grain of rice into a pipe bomb three fourths full of powder and screw on the cap. When its moisture diffuses troughout the pipe, in about an hour, it is dry and any vibration will cause it to explode, thereby igniting the powder, Crushed into a paste, a dollop about the size of a bean on a stick of dynamite, once dry will explode the dynamite at the slightest vibration. Such a pipe bomb or a stick of dynamite under the car seat of an enemy would have him out of the way an hour down the road. I'm sure you can think of many other ways to use it. To make it, all you need is iodine crystals and strong ammonia.You can get both from most pharmacies located near hospitals. I would advise against asking for both at the same place. If your pharmacist doesn't stock iodine crystals he can order them for you at about $12.00 for four ounces. You might tell him you are thinking of making up some first aid kits and want to make your own tincture of iocine. Four ounce is enough to last you a life time. The strong ammonia can be gotten under the pretense of being a butter fly and moth collector. Ammonia in bottles with some cotton on the bot kills them very quickly. The store ammonia is weaker and the soap sticks to the scales so strong ammonia is an absolute necessity. But if you don't want to bother your pharmacist you can distill your own ammonia. Two 28 ounce bottles will provide 14 ounces of strong ammonia, free from the soap and gunk in all household cleaning ammonias. Anyway, to make ANTI, just drop iodine crystals into ten times their volume of strong ammonia. A few grains will prove the process. After about ten minutes soaking, swirl and pour the iodine crystals into a coffee filter. Then remove the filter from its holder and scrape up the crystals and/or paste with a knife or spatula. Crystals are best for strewing around for people to step or sit on, causing coronaries. Paste is best for spreading on things and also for stability in the rate of drying. A small pile of treated crystals drying would set each other off because of its own weight.When you put the ANTI on a board or some other surface you don't care about, use the knife or spatula to seperate it into tiny bits. After an hour's drying just slightly touch one of the particles with a feather or anything else and you'll get a surprisingly loud explosion, which will most likely set off the rest if the particles are close together. ANTI can be made in arelatively large batch and carried safely. A good way is to cut about a square inch from the corner of a plastic baggy. Put the ANTI in the bottom corner and roll it up. Then wrap it in a wet cloth and roll that up and put it in a whole baggy and roll that up too. The ANTI could stay that way for months and yet be ready for use at any time.
