Glass
|
||
|
||
A piece of glass is fitted into the bottom of the stopper for the flask. To
|
||
that is placed an eight-inch length of rubber tubing and at the end of this is
|
||
the aerator. Two more pieces of glass is put in the top of the stopper.
|
||
|
||
First, you will need pure alcohol so buy some 100
|
||
proof vodka and distill it until you have about 12 oz.
|
||
|
||
Put the alcohol in the flask.Put about two inches of bleach and A teaspoon of
|
||
Sani-Flush in the chlorine bottle. This will generate the clorine gas that you
|
||
will need. Start the clorine through the alcohol while the flask is still
|
||
cold.
|
||
Watch it carefully to see when the alcohol stops absorbing the clorine. Then
|
||
light a alcohol lamp and place it under the 600 ml flask. Keep the flame low
|
||
until the alcohol stops absorbing again. Raise the flame and repeat. Continue
|
||
this untill the alcohol is boiling. Some of the alcohol will distill off into
|
||
the collection bottle. Several times during the process, pour this back into
|
||
the 600 ml beaker.
|
||
|
||
When the alcohol is totally chlorinated the flask is poured into a
|
||
porcelain dish and allowed to cool. If you have done this right the
|
||
cooled product should be a crystaline mass of unrefined Cloral Hydrate.
|
||
|
||
Now, pour strong sulfuric acid, three times the volume of the
|
||
Cloral Hydrate, into the pan. Place this pan on your stove over gentle
|
||
heat. When the cloral hydrate is melted, it and the sulfuric acid are
|
||
stirred throughly pour this into the flask and heat again. But this
|
||
time use the thermometer and don't let it get over 200 F.
|
||
|
||
As the mixture heats up, the still impure cloral hydrate will rise
|
||
to the surface. When it stops rising, use the basting syringe and draw
|
||
the top off of the sulfuric acid. Repeat this until the pan is empty.
|
||
|
||
Put the cloral hydrate (you drew it off in the last step) into the
|
||
beaker and heat at about 190 F. for 20 minutes. This will get rid of
|
||
any alcohol or acid still in it. Pour this back into the flask and add
|
||
an equal amount of sulfuric acid. Swirl this around to mix it.
|
||
|
||
Once again you must distill the mixture. But this time it is easy
|
||
since the cloral hydrate will boil at 210 F and the sulfuric acid boils
|
||
at 722 F. When finished pour out the acid, then wash and dry the flask.
|
||
Now, put the powered Calcium Oxide, equal in volume to the cloral
|
||
hydrate into the flask, add the cloral hydrate and distill again. Stop
|
||
as soon as the surface of the oxide is dry.
|
||
|
||
|
||
To use, add one part water to two parts { by volume } of the
|
||
finished product. The dose is 1/28th of an oz ( 1 gram ). The best way
|
||
to use this is to put it into a mixed drink, because it has abitter
|
||
taste. In about 15 minutes, whoever you gave it to is out for the night.
