MAKING THERMITE BY XCALIBUR THERMITE IS A POWERFUL SUBSTANCE WHIC H CAN BURN THROUGH PRACTICALLY ANYTHING, SAVE TUNGSTEN. IT IS ESPECIALLY OF USE IN TRYING TO CRACK OPEN A FORTRESS FONE. NOW HERE'S HOW YOU MAKE IT. IT IS VERY SIMPLE. THE FIRST STEP I N MAKING THERMITE IS TO MAKE HEMATITE. IN LAYMAN'S TERMS, HEMAT ITE IS IRON OXIDE (RUST). HERE IS A GOOD METHOD OF MAKING LARGE Q UANTITIES OF RUST. OU WILL ELECTROLYZE A METAL ROD, SUCH AS A COMM ON NAIL. YOU WILL NEED A SOURCE OF DC POWER AS WELL. AN ELECTRIC TRAIN TRANSFORMER IS PERFECT. ATTATCH THEROD TO THE POSITIVE WIRE. ^^^^^^^^ THEN PLACE THE ROD AND THE NEGATIVE WIR E IN OPPOSITE SIDES OF A GLASS JAR FILLED WITH WATER. PUT A LITT LE SALT IN THE WATER, JUST ENOUGH TO MAKE IT CONDUCT WELL (A TEASP OON). LET THE SETUP SIT OVERNIGHT. IN THE MORNING, THERE WILL B E A DARK RED CRUD IN THE JAR. FILTER ALL THE CRUD OUT OF THE WAT ER OR JUST FISH IT OUT WITH A SPOON. NOW YOU WILL NEED TO DRY IT OUT. HEAT IT IN AN IRON POT UNTILL IT ALL TURNS A NICE LIGHT RE D. THE OTHER INGREDIANT YOU WILL NEED IS ALUMINUM FILINGS. YOU CAN EITHER FILE DOWN A BAR OF ALUMINUM, OR (AS I SUGGEST) BUY ALUM INUM FILINGS AT YOUR LOCAL HARDWARE SHOP. (IF YOU BUY THE BAR USE NO LESS THAN 94% PURE ALUMINUM. IT IS CALLED DURALUMIN.) THAT 'S ALMOST IT. NOW, MIX TOGETHER THE RUST AND ALUMINUM FILINGS. THE RATIO SHOULD BE 8 GRAMS OF RUST PER 3 GRAMS OF ALUMINUM F ILINGS. THAT'S THERMITE! NOW, TO LIGHT IT! STICK A LENGTH OF M AGNESIUM RIBBON IN A PILE OF THE THERMITE. (EITHER STEAL IT FROM CHEM LAB OR BUY IT AT YOUR LOCAL HARDWARE STORE. IF NOT, ORDER FRO M A CHEMICAL SUPPLY HOUSE. IT'S PRETTY CHEAP.) THE RIBBON SHOULD S TICK INTO THE THERMITE LIKE A FUSE. NOW YOU LIGHT THE MAGNESI UM WITH A BLOWTORCH. (DON'T WORRY. THE TORCH ISN'T HOT ENOUG H TO LIGHT THE THERMITE.) WHEN THE BURNING MAGNESIUM REACHES THE THERMITE, IT WILL LIGHT. WHEN THE THERMITE BURNS, GET THE HELL B ACK! THAT STUFF CAN VAPORIZE CARBON STEEL. IT DOES WONDERS ON HUMAN FLESH. EXPLOSIVE INFO ============== WHEN PETROLEUM JELLY AND POTASSIUM CH LORATE ARE MIXED IN A ONE TO ONE RATIO BY WEIGHT, IT MAKES A TOTA LY SAFE WET COMPOUND BUT WHEN DRIED IT BECOMES HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE AND SHOCK SENSITIVE. MIX 3 GRAMS OF POTASSIUM IODIDE AND 5 GRAMS OF IODINE IN A BEAKER WITH 50 ML OF WATER. THEN ADD 20 ML OF AMMONIUM HYDROXIDE [AMMONIA WATER 10%]. FILTER THIS SUBSTA NCE AND THE RESULTING SOLID IS CALLED NITROGEN TRIIODIDE. WHE N THIS IS WET IT IS SAFE, BUT WHEN DRY BECOMES VERY EXPLOSIVE AND SHOCK SENSITIVE. (TO SET OFF ABOVE EXPLOSIVES, PUT THE MIXTURE ON OR IN SOMETHING THE DROP IT SORT OF LIKE AN IMPACT BOMB . IT, LIKE A HAND GRENADE, WILL EXPLODE ON CONTACT WITH ANOTHER OB JECT.) FOR GREAT SMOKE BOMBS, MIX 4 PARTS SUG AR AND 6 PARTS POTASSIUM NITRATE (SALT PETER) AND HEAT IT OVER A LOW FLAME UNTIL IT MELTS. STIR WELL, THEN POUR IT INTO A CONTAINE R YOU DON'T NEED. BEFORE IT SOLIDIFIES, PUT A FEW MATHES ON THE SURFACE AS FUSES. ONE POUND OF THIS SUBSTANCE WILL FILL A BLO CK NICELY WITH THICK WHITE SMOKE. Nitroglycerin HERE IS AN ADDITION TO THE FILE ON EXPL OSIVES IN THE GENERAL SECTION. NITROGLYCERIN: *CAREFULLY* MIX EQUAL AMOUNTS OF NITRIC ACID AND SULPHURIC ACID TOGETHER IN A GRADUATED CYLINDER OR OTH ER TALL, THIN CONTAINER. SLOWLY ADD ORDINARY GLYCERIN AND STIR V ERY LIGHTLY. WAIT A WHILE, AND POUR OFF THE LIQUID ON THE TOP. THI S LIQUID IS NITROGLYCERI N, AND SHOULD BE HANDELED WITH CAUTION. WASHING IT WITH SODIUM CARBONATE WILL IMPROVE THE PURITY. HOW TO MAKE: T.N.T --------------------------------------- MIX 170 PARTS TOLULENE WITH 100 PARTS A CID. THE ACID MADE OF 2 PARTS OF 70% NITRIC AND 3 PARTS OF 100% SULFURIC. MIX BELOW 30 DEGREES.SET THIS FOR 30 MIN AND LET IT SEPARATE. TAKE THE MONONITROTOLULENE AND MIX 100 PART OF I T WITH 215 PARTS OF ACID. THIS ACID IS 1 PART PURE NITRIC AND 2 P ARTS PURE SUL FURIC. KEEP THE TEMP. AT 60-70 WHILE THEY ARE SLOWL Y MIXED. RAISE TEMP TO 90-100 AND STIR FOR 30 MIN. THE DINITRO TOLUENE IS SEPARATED AND MIX 100 PARTS OF THIS WITH 225 PARTS OF 20% OLEUM WHICH IS 100% SULFURIC WITH 20% EXTRA DISSOLVED SULFU R TRIOXIDE, AND 65 PARTS NITRIC ACID. HEAT AT 95 DEGREES FOR 60 MIN. AND THEN AT 120 DEGREES FOR 90 MIN.SEPARATE THE TRINITR OTOLUENE AND SLOSH IT AROUND IN HOT WATER. PURIFY THE POWDER BY SOAKING IT IN BENZENE. AND THATS IT YOU KNOW HAVE TNT. *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* * ASSORTED EXPLOSIVES INFORMATION * *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Common Rocket Fuel ------------------ Materials: 1.) Potassium Nitrate (KNO ) or 3 "Saltpeter". This can be obtained from a drugstore, or ordered from a chemical supply house. 2.) Sugar (Powdered is the best) Procedure: 1.) Mix the two together 1/2 Nitrate and 1/2 Sugar. 2.) Take an old cooking pan, and melt the two together. There is NO way for it to ignite. 3.) It should turn into a fudgey looking compound. Pour this compound into a rocket engine such as a cardboard tube, and set a fuse into the compound and let the compound harden. Chlorate Mixtures ----------------- NOTE: The main ingredient for this experiment is potassium or sodium chlorate. Both of these will do equally well. However, both may prove difficult to find. Probably the only way to get it would be to order it through a chemical supply house. Materials: ---------- 1) Potassium chlorate or sodium chlorate. 2) Powdered charcoal 3) Powdered aluminum 4) Sulfur Procedure: ---------- NOTE: There is no set procedure for making chlorate mixtures. The only special thing ABOUT chlorate mixtures is that they have a chlorate in them. Experiment with diffiernt proportions of each of the ingredients. All of the chlorate mixtures I made had no set procedure and I just experimented with the proportions of each of the ingredients. Most of your mixture, however, should be potassium chlorate or sodium chlorate. 1) Make sure that you mix the sulfur and charcoal and aluminum first. You may grind these in a mortar and pestal to get a good mix of these ingredients. 2) Add potassium chlorate or sodium chlorate. Mix them VERY CAREFULLY in the mortar and pestal. DO NOT GRIND the mixture once the chlorate has been added or it will ignite and burn the shit out of you. 3) You now may use the mixture for whatever you want to. Chlorate mixtures are some of the best compositions there are and, in my experiences, they are the best except for model rocket propellant (procedure for making this is given later). ` Green Goddess ' ------------- Materials --------- 1.) Zinc (Zn) <---NOTE: This is not the same as Zinc Oxide! 2.) Sulfur (S) Procedure --------- 1.) Mix the two together 1/2 and 1/2. 2.) MAKE SURE that you mix them very well. The best way to do so, is to put the mixture in a jar with a lid and shake it up for 15-60 seconds, until it is all a greyish color. 3.) To ignite, use a fuse, or throw a match into the powder. WARNING, this burns very very quickly, and produces smoke. Also it burns at a fairly high temperature. It will surprise you when you throw a match into it. There will be a delay, and then all of a sudden, it will flash up, and is capable of burning the hell out of you. ======================================= Common Uses ----------- 1.) Rocket Fuel 2.) Bombs <--- NOTE: The best way to do this is to take it and compress it into cardboard tubing. 3.) Smoke bombs (Cardboard tube w/ big hole.) 4.) Flare bombs. 5.) The rest is up to your imagination GOOD LUCK! Nitrate Compound ---------------- Materials --------- 1.) Potassium Nitrate (KNO ) 3 2.) Aluminum Powder (dust) (Al) 3.) Sulfur (S) Procedure --------- 1.) Take 2 Tablespoons KNO 3 2.) 2 Tablespoons Al 3.) 1/2-1 Tablespoon S 4.) Mix and shake, until all is one solid color. Silver-grey. 5.) You can light this with a fuse or throw a match into it to light. You may experiment with the ratios. Here are a few tips: a.) To make more smoke add more sulfur to the mixture. b.) To make it burn slower, add more Potassium Nitrate. c.) To make it burn faster, add more Aluminum Dust. Have Fun Experimenting! ---------------------- ======================================= Uses ---- 1.) High power fuel 2.) Bombs 3.) Melting Mailboxes )(:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::)( Rocket Fuel No.2 (high grade) ---------------- NOTE: This is the best composition for rocket fuel. It is one of the best compositions I have ever tried. Only mercury fulminate was better, and I don't care to describe that! Materials: ---------- 1) Model rocket engine (any engine will do, but the bigger ones like C or D engines are recommeded). 2) Hammer Procedure: ---------- 1) First, using the hammer, knock out the ceramic nozzle of the engine. The color of the nozzle is light gray. 2) When you start to see black grains in the gray of the nozzle powder, put the rocket engine in a shoe box or something else to catch the propellant. Now hit the engine with the hammer to get the propellant out (careful, not too hard). 3) When all the propellant has been removed and is in the shoe box, grains will be in size ranging from dust to pieces about 1/2 inch in size. You may take out the propellant and use it for whatever you wish. WARNING: DO NOT EVER GRIND THIS MIXTURE! It might explode in your face! Use it only in the form you got it from the engine. Also, since I don't know what model rocket propellant is made out of, I don't know how poisonous it is. As a rule, however, do not let it get on you and always wash after experiments with it (this is just a good procedure for any experi- ment dealing with chemicals). by: The Chemist
