BLACK POWDER CAN BE PREPARED IN A SIMPLE, SAFE MANNER. IT MAY BE USED AS BLASTING OR GUN POWDER.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
MATERIAL REQUIRED:
|
|||
|
|
-----------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
POTASSIUM NITRATE, GRANULATED, 3 CUPS
|
|||
|
|
WOOD CHARCOAL, POWDERED, 2 CUPS
|
|||
|
|
SULFUR, POWDERED, 1/2 CUP
|
|||
|
|
ALCOHOL, 5 PINTS (WHISKEY, RUBBING ALCOHOL, ETC.)
|
|||
|
|
WATER, 3 CUPS
|
|||
|
|
HEAT SOURCE
|
|||
|
|
2 BUCKETS -- EACH 2 GALLON CAPACITY, AT LEAST ONE OF WHICH IS HEAT
|
|||
|
|
RESISTANT (METAL, CERAMIC, ETC.)
|
|||
|
|
FLAT WINDOW SCREENING, AT LEAST 1 FT. SQUARE
|
|||
|
|
LARGE WOODEN STICK
|
|||
|
|
CLOTH, AT LEAST 2 FT. SQUARE
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
NOTE: THE ABOVE AMOUNTS WILL YIELD 2 POUNDS OF BLACK POWDER. HOWEVER,
|
|||
|
|
ONLY THE RATIOS OF THE AMOUNTS OF THE INGREDIENTS ARE IMPORTANT.
|
|||
|
|
THUS, FOR TWICE AS MUCH BLACK POWDER, DOUBLE ALL QUANTITIES
|
|||
|
|
USED.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
PROCEDURE:
|
|||
|
|
---------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1) PLACE ALCOHOL IN ONE OF THE BUCKETS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2) PLACE POTASSIUM NITRATE, CHARCOAL, AND SULFUR IN THE HEAT RESISTANT
|
|||
|
|
BUCKET. ADD 1 CUP WATER AND MIX THOROUGHLY WITH WOODEN STICK UNTIL
|
|||
|
|
ALL INGREDIENTS ARE DISSOLVED.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3) ADD REMAINING WATER (2 CUPS) TO MIXTURE. PLACE BUCKET ON HEAT
|
|||
|
|
SOURCE AND STIR UNTIL SMALL BUBBLES BEGIN TO FORM.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
CAUTION: DO NOT BOIL MIXTURE. BE SURE ALL MIXTURE STAYS WET. IF ANY
|
|||
|
|
IS DRY, AS ON SIDES OF PAN, IT MAY IGNITE.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
4) REMOVE BUCKET FROM HEAT AND POUR MIXTURE INTO ALCOHOL WHILE
|
|||
|
|
STIRRING VIGOROUSLY
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
5) LET ALCOHOL STAND ABOUT 5 MINUTES. STRAIN MIXTURE THROUGH CLOTH TO
|
|||
|
|
OBTAIN BLACK POWDER. DISCARD LIQUID. WRAP CLOTH AROUND BLACK
|
|||
|
|
POWDER AND SQUEEZE TO REMOVE ALL EXCESS LIQUID.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
6) PLACE SCREENING OVER DRY BUCKET. PLACE WORKABLE AMOUNT OF DAMP
|
|||
|
|
POWDER ON SCREEN AND GRANULATE BY RUBBING SOLID THROUGH SCREEN
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
NOTE: IF GRANULATED PARTICLES APPEAR TO STICK TOGETHER AND CHANGE
|
|||
|
|
SHAPE, RECOMBINE ENTIRE BATCH OF POWDER AND REPEAT STEPS 5 & 6.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
7) SPREAD GRANULATED POWDER ON FLAT DRY SURFACE SO THAT LAYER ABOUT
|
|||
|
|
1/2 INCH IS FORMED. ALLOW TO DRY. USE RADIATOR , OR DIRECT
|
|||
|
|
SUNLIGHT. THIS SHOULD BE DRIED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, PREFERABLY IN
|
|||
|
|
ONE HOUR. THE LONGER THE DRYING PERIOD, THE LESS EFFECTIVE THE
|
|||
|
|
BLACK POWDER.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
CAUTION: REMOVE FROM HEAT AS SOON AS GRANULES ARE DRY. BLACK POWDER
|
|||
|
|
IS NOW READY FOR USE.
