Thank you for watching! I recommend reading the sources listed down below if you want to take a deeper look into this topic Also, I feel obligated to note that it is entirely necessary to be very cautious and mindful about your actions 'before' you take them. I can assure you, convincing the authorities on why you have a bunch of potential explosives in your home isn't particularly going to end up well. Stay safe and as stated in the video, try not to blow up your fingers. Cheers. **Sources** 1. Potassium Nitrate(KNO3) Wikipedia potassium nitrate: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potas...

I admit that the statement was somewhat ‘misleading’ because it really depends on whether or not you have access to high quality lead dioxide(PbO2) produced for such tasks(anodes). And let's be honest. Most of us do not have access to such material.
