HOW TO MAKE A WORKING LETTER-BOMB
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
LETTER BOMBS ARE VERY SIMPLE TO MAKE,
|
||
|
|
BUT THE DIFFICULT PART IS MAKING SURE
|
||
|
|
IT WILL DETONATE PROPERLY, OR THAT IT
|
||
|
|
IS NOT OBVIOUS THAT IT IS A BOMB.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MIXTURES:
|
||
|
|
ABOUT 75% ALUMINUM POWDER WITH 25%
|
||
|
|
IRON POWER IS BEST. THIS IS A LIGHT
|
||
|
|
VERSION OF THERMITE, SINCE IT IS IN
|
||
|
|
AN ENCLOSED SPACE (THE ENVELOPE, AS
|
||
|
|
DESCRIBED BELOW A WAYS).
|
||
|
|
MIX THE ABOVE WELL. THE IDEA IS
|
||
|
|
THIS: IRON CAN BURN, AT A VERY HIGH
|
||
|
|
TEMPERATURE, BUT IT NEEDS A LITTLE
|
||
|
|
HELP. THIS IS WHAT THE ALUMINUM IS
|
||
|
|
FOR. ALUMINUM BURNS AT A RELATIVELY
|
||
|
|
LOW TEMPERATURE, SO IT IS USED AS A
|
||
|
|
CATALYST OF SORTS. MAGNESIUM IS USED
|
||
|
|
TO FLASH-IGNITE THE ALUMINUM, WHICH
|
||
|
|
THEN BURNS THE IRON, AT A SUITABLE
|
||
|
|
TEMPERATURE. SINCE THIS IS GOING OFF
|
||
|
|
IN AN ENCLOSED SPACE, IT WILL BURN
|
||
|
|
MUCH HOTTER AND SLOWER AND WITH MORE
|
||
|
|
VIOLENCE THAN A NORMAL MIX.
|
||
|
|
I ADVISE YOU PLAY WITH THIS FOR A
|
||
|
|
WHILE, LEARNING YOUR MIXTURE.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOW FOR THE FUN STUFF:
|
||
|
|
GET AN INSULATED (PADDED) ENVELOPE,
|
||
|
|
THE TYPE THAT IS DOUBLE LAYERED.
|
||
|
|
SEPERATE THE LAYERS. IN THE INNER
|
||
|
|
LAYER GOES THE WONDERFUL MIXTURE,
|
||
|
|
ONE YOU ARE SATISFIED WITH. KEEP
|
||
|
|
THIS SECTION SEPERATE, BUT IT MIGHT
|
||
|
|
BE HANDLE TO TOP IT OFF WITH SOME
|
||
|
|
MAGNESIUM. THE OUTER LAYER CAN BE
|
||
|
|
EITHER MAGNESIUM, FOR A FLASH BOMB,
|
||
|
|
OR POSSIBLY A MATERIAL OF YOUR OWN
|
||
|
|
CHOICE.
|
||
|
|
NOW FOR THE DIFFICULT PART!
|
||
|
|
THE FUSE... WE CAN MAKE A FUSE
|
||
|
|
FROM ANOTHER SET OF CHEMICALS:
|
||
|
|
IODINE CRYSTALS, AND AMONIUM HYDROXIDE,
|
||
|
|
IN LIQUID FORM. MIX THESE TOGETHER,
|
||
|
|
IN ABOUT AND EQUAL AMOUNT, BUT YOU
|
||
|
|
MIGHT WANT TO USE A HEAVY AMOUNT OF
|
||
|
|
IODINE IF PRESSED FOR TIME. THESE
|
||
|
|
FORM A NEW CRYSTALLINE STRUCTURE, ABOUT
|
||
|
|
AND INCH LONG. THESE ARE HIGHLY
|
||
|
|
VOLATILE, AND I ADVISE KEEPING THEM
|
||
|
|
PROTECTED. THEY HAVE ABOUT THE IMPACT
|
||
|
|
POWER OF AN M-100 FOR A TEASPOON.
|
||
|
|
I PUT THESE IN A PROTECTIVE CARD-BOARD
|
||
|
|
LINING, AND PUT THEM AT THE TOP OF
|
||
|
|
THE ENVELOPE. RIG THIS SO IT PUTS
|
||
|
|
PRESSURE ON THE CRYTALS WHEN THE
|
||
|
|
PACKAGE IS OPENED, BUT NOT FROM JUST
|
||
|
|
SQUEEZING THE ENVELOPE. THIS IS
|
||
|
|
TRICKY, AND I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT HERE.
|
||
|
|
SEAL THIS UP, AND YOU HAVE A WORKING
|
||
|
|
LETTER BOMB.
|
||
|
|
BY THE WAY, SINCE THE BULK OF LETTER
|
||
|
|
BOMBS ARE EASILY RECOGNIZABLE, THEY
|
||
|
|
RARELY MAKE IT PAST THE POST OFFICE.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*****
|
||
|
|
I FROWN UPON THE USE OF LETTER BOMBS
|
||
|
|
AS A MEANS OF GETTING EVEN BECAUSE
|
||
|
|
YOU NEVER KNOW WHO IT IS GOING TO
|
||
|
|
DETONATE AROUND, OR THAT IT WILL
|
||
|
|
EVEN BE THEM. THERE ARE SIMPLER WAYS
|
||
|
|
OF GETTING EVEN, SO TAKE sONE OF THEM.
|
||
|
|
IT IS ALSO A FEDERAL OFFENCE TO MAKE
|
||
|
|
AND SEND ONE. PROCEDE AT YOUR OWN
|
||
|
|
RISK.
|
||
|
|
*****
|
||
|
|
HOW TO AVOID LETTER BOMBS:
|
||
|
|
SINCE YOU MADE IT THIS FAR INTO THE
|
||
|
|
FILE, I WILL TELL YOU HOW TO AVOID
|
||
|
|
BEING DETONATED WITH A LETTER BOMB
|
||
|
|
YOU MAY HAVE HAD SENT TO YOU.
|
||
|
|
1) NEVER OPEN A LETTER BOMB THE WAY
|
||
|
|
IT WANTS TO BE OPENED! THIS IS
|
||
|
|
THE WAY OF POSSIBLY AVOIDING THE
|
||
|
|
FUSE. IF IT IS SET TO DETONATE
|
||
|
|
ON CONTACT WITH AIR, THEN THIS
|
||
|
|
WILL NOT WORK.
|
||
|
|
2) DON'T SQUEEZE, BEND, OR ANYTHING!
|
||
|
|
3) IF IT LOOKS LIKE A BOMB, THEN
|
||
|
|
DON'T EVEN TOUCH IT! THIS IS
|
||
|
|
THE BEST WAY TO AVOID PROBLEMS!
