Nitroglycerin: Difference between revisions

'''Nitroglycerin''', known colloquially as '''nitro''', was a component of explosive material [[gelignite]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Pyramids of Mars (TV story)|Pyramids of Mars]]'', ''[[Dragonfire (TV story)|Dragonfire]]'')

[[Nitro-9]] was a powerful explosive created by [[Ace]]: a variant of nitroglycerin which she put in [[deodorant]] cans. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dragonfire (TV story)|Dragonfire]]'', ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'', ''[[Battlefield (TV story)|Battlefield]]'') Further variants made by her were [[Nitro-9a]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Exodus (novel)|Timewyrm: Exodus]]'') [[Nitro-19]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Sabotage (audio story)|Sabotage]]'') [[Nitro-999]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Power of the Doctor (TV story)|The Power of the Doctor]]'') and [[Neo-Nitro]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Shadowmind (novel)|Shadowmind]]'')

[[Nitro-12]] was used by [[UNIT]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Vanguard (UTNS audio story)|Vanguard]]'')

Ace was attempting to extract nitroglycerin from gelignite when she was transported to [[Iceworld]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dragonfire (TV story)|Dragonfire]]'')

[[Ernie Clements]]' store of gelignite, which he kept for [[fishing]], began to "sweat", or exude nitroglycerin, and this made it extremely unstable. ([[TV]]: ''[[Pyramids of Mars (TV story)|Pyramids of Mars]]'')

[[Kevin (Rat Trap)|Kevin]] put together a "backup plan" including [[dynamite]] and nitroglycerin; [[Caitlin Wallace]] responded by saying now she ''knew'' he was insane. When under attack by a [[Rat King]], the [[Fifth Doctor]] threatened that he had nitroglycerin in Kevin's bag. The Doctor later revealed that he had left the nitro back in the tunnel, but had not yet disposed of it properly. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Rat Trap (audio story)|Rat Trap]]'')
