Steel or copper probably.  Iron and copper react with fluorine the same as
aluminum does with air.  It reacts immediately, but a layer of fluoride
(oxide) forms that protects it from further reaction.

Actually, the correct name of the compound is Nitrogen Tri-iodide.
However, the name Ammonium Tri-iodide out to more then tell you how to make it.
If not, here's how. Mix Ammonia and iodide crystals. Nitrogen Tri-iodide forms on the surface of the crystals. Let it settle, then scrape out the black goo, spread it out on something and let it dry (this take a while). When it is FULLY 
dry, it will explode well. you may even here it crackle on its own every once in a while. It is shock sensitive. throw something at it, poke at it, or if you are really dumb, kick it. The explosion is followed by a puff of niffty purple smoke. Exposed, the explosion is small, but inject it into some small crevice, and it will do a good job of shooting a key out of a lock like a bullet.
      Now there is one good trick to up the bang for your buck. Adding potassium iodide to the mixture will cause it to dry very rapidy when you take the goo out of the excess ammonia. However, if your not careful, it will dry while you work with it and BOOM! It really does boost the explosion though. Houshold ammonia is of course used, although iodine crystals can get expensive at a pharmacy. Use water purification iodine, or better yet, find a chemist friend who can get reagent grade stuff free. And oh y

es. dont worry about measuring. It is self stoichiometric. The excess just sits there. No harm No foul. 
Have fun, and be careful

I'm amazed that this is in print.  I've met a guy who was short
two hands due to a H2O2 detonation.  He was working in a chemistry
lab in the UC system and was carrying {either a tray with 
bottles on it, or one bottle in each hand} concentrated H2O2.
It went off of its own accord and he got two steel hooks.

It may not be reliably detonated, but it also cannot be reliably
NOT detonated...

Well 100% nitromethane is sold in specialist hobby shops here for 
the enthusiast who wants to mix his/her own fuel. It is not colour
indicated but does become slightly yellow with age. It is sold in
20l, 4l, 1l and 1/2l amounts for A$32 per litre. Nitromethane is 
always explosive and so must not be shipped in tank cars as explosions
have occurred. However if stored in drums of about 200l, it is very
stable. In this amount, it will not burn into detonation and it is
not detonated by a rifle bullet or a large drop. However, a sufficient
booster explosive will cause detonation. There are many chemicals that
will sensitise nitromethane, even to the extent of cap sensitivity.
NM happens to be the most widely studied liquid explosive and one of
the safest. It is somewhere near ammonium nitrate in its sensitivity
to initiation by shock. That is no doubt why it can be used safely as
a racing fuel and sold at hobby stores.

I thought that went without saying in this group.  Oh well.

Hot hydrogen peroxide can experience runaway decomposition or
detonation, but I was thinking of vacuum distillation.  I have in
front of me the following quote from Sarner, "Propellant Chemistry":

  "Hydrogen peroxide of 98-100% is immune to mechanical impact such as

The real danger in working with concentrated H2O2 is grease on your glassware,
which can result in the formation of nasty, unstable organic peroxides of all
sorts.  Organic peroxides are a major cause of lab accidents among organic
chemists.

A bit off the topic, but perhaps interesting:

The Me163 Komet had some unique problems in the early models with leaky tanks
for the H2O2 and hydrazine; the result being that the pilot essentially
"dissolved" in mid-flight. Seems to be an icky way to die.

Even when this was fixed, the Komet was purported to be a near-suicide
machine; there was no landing gear, since it was cradled on a rolling frame
which dropped off after take-off and it had one 37mm cannon, which was to be
used against slower-moving bombers by flying through the formations and
firing one or two of the 37mm rounds into a B-17 or B-24. Defensive
armour and weaponry was practically nil.

But for about 10 to 20 minutes, it was a human-guided airborn 37mm cannon that
could move like a bat out of hell.

As far as I know, this type of advertisement was banned decades ago.

If you make your own motors, they are NOT model rockets any more. They are
either classed as Amateur Rockets or Fireworks. In either case, they require
permits from the federal government - and probably state and local governments
as well - before you may legally make them and store them.

There are many possible propellant combinations - the most common uses
homemade black powder. There is a pyrotechnics reading list that is posted
here at least monthly - it is about due again. I would recommend the books
by Lancaster and Shimizu - they will provide a good basis. The books by
Weingart is a bit dated, but the rocket casing construction directions are
pretty good.

Well I've heard that firemen (should I say firepeople) will stay well back

you most definitely can buy nitromethane fuel in hobby stores.
a friend of mind is an rc airplane hobbyist and buys gallons of

Bill,

it is definately Peroxyacetone what rAT produced.
This stuff will deflagrate with a nice big fireball if ignited in the open,
even in greater amounts. It would be nice to know the exact mass that provides
enough confinement to let it detonate, but I never reached it.

BTW, the AP (or PA :) that I have made was NOT as sensitive as NI3, but
I may have been lucky.

Probably before you add the acetylene, but not afterwards.  Warren's
