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.

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).
