MATERIALS REQUIRED How Used Common Source ------------------ -------- ------------- Sulphuric Acid Storage Batteries Motor Vehicles Material Processing Industrial Plants Gasoline Motor Fuel Gas Station Potassium Chlorate Medicine Drug Store Sugar Sweetening Foods Food Store Glass bottle with stopper (roughly 1 quart size). Small Bottle of jar with lid. Rag or absorbent paper (paper towels, newspaper). String or rubber bands. PROCEDURE --------- 1. SULPHURIC ACID MUST BE CONCENTRATED. If battery acid or other dilute acid i s used, concentrate it by boiling until dense white fumes are given off. Contai ner used should be of enamelware or oven glass. *** CAUTION *** Sulphuric acid will burn skin and destroy clothing. If any is spilled, wash it away with a large quantity of water. Fumes are also dangerous and should not be inhaled. 2. Remove the acid from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. 3. Pour gasoline into the large (1 quart) bottle until it is approximately 2/3 full. 4. Add concentrated sulphuric acid to gasoline slowly until the bottle is fille d to within 1" to 2" from top. Place the stopper on the bottle. 5. Wash the outside of the bottle thoroughly with clear water. *** CAUTION *** If this is NOT done, the fire bottle may -e dangerous to handle during use. 6. Wrap a clean cloth or several sheets of absorbent paper around the outside o f the bottle. Tie with string or fasten with rubber bands. 7. Dissolve 1/2 cup (100 gm) of potassium chlorate and 1/2 cup (250 cc) of boil ing water. 8. Allow the solution to cool, pour into the small bottle and cap tightly. The cooled solution should ge approx. 2/3 crystals and 1/3 liquid. If there is mo re liquid that this, pour off excess before using. *** CAUTION *** Store this bottle separately from the other bottle. HOW TO USE ---------- 1. Shake the small bottle to mix contents and pour onto the cloth or paper arou nd the large bottle. Bottle can be used wet or after solution has dried. However, when dry, the sugar - Potassium chlorate mixture is very sensitive to spark of flame and shoul d be handled accordingly. 2. Throw or launch the bottle. When the bottle breaks against a hard surface ( target) the fuel will ignite. Section V, No. 2 IGNITER FROM BOOK MATCHES Th s is a hot igniter made from paper book matches for use with molotov cocktail and other incendiaries. Material Required ----------------- Paper book matches. Adhesive or friction tape. Procedure --------- 1. Remove the staple(s) from match book and separate matches from cover. 2. Fold and tape one row of matches. 3. Shape the cover into a tube with striking surface on the inside and tape. M ake sure the folded cover will fit tightly around the taped match heads. Leave cover open at opposite end for insertion of the matches 4. Push the taped matches into the tube until the bottom ends are exposed about 3/4 in. (2 cm). 5. Flatten and fold the open end of the tube so that it laps over about 1 in. ( 2-1/2 cm); tape in place. Use With Molotov Cocktail ------------------------- Tape the "match end tab" of the igniter to the neck of the molotov cocktail. Grasp the "cover end tab" and pull sharply or quickly to ignite. General Use --- The book match igniter can be used by itself to ignite flammable liquids,rfuse c ords and similar items requiring hot ignition. *** CAUTION *** Store matches and completed igniters in moistureproof container s such as rubber of plastic bags until ready for use. Damp or wet paper book ma tches will not ignite. Section V, No. 3 MECHANICALLY INITIATED FIRE BOTTLE The mechanically initiated Fire Bottle is an incendiary device which ignites whe n thrown against a hard surface. MATERIALS REQUIRED ------------------ Glass jar or short neck bottle with a leakproof lid or stopper. "Tin" can or similar container just large enough to fit over the lid of the jar. Coil spring (compression) approximately 1/2 the diameter of the can and 1 1/2 ti mes as long. Gasoline Four (4) "blue tip" matches Flat stick or piece of metal (roughly 1/2" x 1/16" x 4") Wire or heave twine Adhesive tape PROCEDURE --------- 1. Draw or scratch two lines around the can - one 3/4" (19 mm) and the other 1 1 /4" (30 mm) from the open2. Cut 2 slots on opposite sides of the tin can at the line farthest from the open end. Make slots large enough for the flat stick or piece of metal to pass through. 3. Punch 2 small holes just below the rim of the open end of the can. 4. Tape blue tip matches together in pairs. The distance between the match head s should equal the inside diameter of the can. Two pairs are sufficient. 5. Attach paired matches to second and third coils of the spring, using thin wir e. 6. Insert the end of the spring opposite the matches into the tin can. 7. Compress the spring until the end with the matches passes the slot in the can . Pass the flat stick or piece of metal through slots in can to hold spring in place. This act as a safety device. 8. Punch many closely spaced small holes between the lines marked on the can to form a striking surface for the matches. De careful not the seriously deform ca n. 9. Fill the jar with gasoline and cap tightly. 10. Turn can over and place over the jar so that the safety stick rests on the l id o. 11. Pass wire or twine around the bottom of the jar. Thread ends through holes in can and bind tightly to jar. 12. Tape wire or cord to jar near the bottom. HOW TO USE ---------- 1. Carefully withdraw flat safety stick. 2. Throw jar at hard surface. *** CAUTION *** DO NOT REMOVE SAFETY STICK UNTIL READY TO THROW FIRE BOTTLE. The safety stick, when in place, prevents ignition of the fire bottle if it shou ld accidentally be broken. END NOTE Don't kill yourself, 'cause we're not responsible for it if you do.
