YOU WILL NEED:-
|
|
|
|
Ammonium Nitrate (get a good grade, it is fertilizer and comes is 50 lb. bags,
|
|
also available from laboratory supply companies such as VW&R or American
|
|
Scientific at considerably greater cost.)
|
|
|
|
Clean Sand, fairly fine grained, 30 mesh or finer. If you collect your own,
|
|
and you get fresh water sand, (rivers and streams), it will be necessary to
|
|
wash it thoroughly with water and then dry is before using. You may also re-
|
|
use sand that has been used to make nitrous oxide by washing it before re-
|
|
using it.
|
|
|
|
Electric hot plate, 500 W to 2500 W, WITH VAIRABLE HEAT.
|
|
|
|
Stainless steel dial thermometer [this is the only "metal" device which may be
|
|
used] that goes to 250 C (450 F). Select the Erlenmeyer flask (next item) and
|
|
th thermometer so that the thermometer can reach at least to within 1/16" of
|
|
the bottom of the flask through the flask stopper (see below).
|
|
|
|
A 2000 to 4000 ml PYREX or KIMAX Erlenmeyer Flask.
|
|
|
|
Several feet of 3/8" clear vinyl or surgical rubber tubing.
|
|
|
|
At least 4 8mm I.D. glass or plastic tubing "T"'s.
|
|
|
|
1 120 degree bend 8mm I.D. PYREX GLASS elbow, with about 3" of tubing on each
|
|
side of the bend.
|
|
|
|
7 6-8" long pieces of 8mm I.D. glass or plastic tubing.
|
|
|
|
3 6-8 feet long 1.5" to 2" diam glass or clear plastic pipes.
|
|
|
|
1 two hole rubber or neoprene stopper to fit the top of the Erlenlmeyer flask.
|
|
|
|
One hole should fit the 8mm I.D. PYREX GLASS elbow, and the other hole should
|
|
fit the stainless steel dial thermometer.
|
|
|
|
6 one hole rubber or neoprene stoppers that will fit the ends of the clear
|
|
plastic or glass pipes. The holes in the stoppers must fit the straight 8mm
|
|
I.D. glass or plastic tubes.
|
|
|
|
Some super strength plastic trash bags, and some rubber bands.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
NH4NO3 --------------------> N2O + 2H2O

THE SET-UP:-
|
|
|
|
If you've gotten this far, let me re-emphasize the importance of meeting
|
|
the quality specifications of the equipment list. If you're serious enough to
|
|
go for N2O, you'll want a good setup you can use a long time and enjoy the
|
|
LAUGHING GAS without worrying about the generating system blasting you to
|
|
kingdom come.

ASSEMBLY:-
|
|
|
|
NOTE: When inserting tubing through stopper holes, ALWAYS WRAP AND HOLD
|
|
THE TUBING WITH A CLOTH. Also moisten the tip of the tubing and the stopper
|
|
hole with glycerin, soap or spit (never oil).
|
|
|
|
1. Into the stopper with two holes, insert the thermometer far enough so that
|
|
when the stopper is put into the Erlenmeyer Flask, it almost touches the
|
|
bottom of the flask (but do not allow it to touch it), and then insert one
|
|
end of the glass elbow far enough the stopper that is sticks out 1/4" to 1/2".
|
|
|
|
2. Into the six one-hole stpppers, insert a piece of the 8mm I.D. glass (or
|
|
plastic) tubing so that 1/2" to 3/4" protrudes from the narrow end of the
|
|
stopper.
|
|
|
|
3. Now select your setup space so that there is 1.5 feet of space clear
|
|
in all directions around the Hotplate, and then so that the three scrubber
|
|
pipes can lie side by side where they will not be knocked over.
|
|
|
|
4. Take an approximately 2 foot piece of the 3/8" flexible tubing and connect
|
|
one end to the glass elbow in the two-hole stopper, and the other end to the
|
|
middle of one of the 8mm I.D. glass (or hard plastic) "T"'s.
|
|
|
|
5. With short pieces (select lengths for a neat fit) of 3/8" tubing and
|
|
another 8mm "T" assemble the INLET SET manifold and connect to the bottom end
|
|
of the scrubbers. (Stoppers may then be inserted into the lower end of the
|
|
scrubber pipes).
|
|
|
|
6. Elevate the OUT end of the scrubber pipes, so that the upper end is 6" to
|
|
8" above the inlet end <BUT NO MORE>, and then fill the pipes with water until
|
|
they are full within 4" to 8" of the top (outlet) end, and insert the outlet
|
|
stoppers. [Try to get all three scrlubbers EQUALLY full.]
|
|
|
|
7. With short pieces of 3/8" tubing and two 8mm I.D. "T"'s, prepare, and
|
|
connect the OUTLET SET manifold to the scrubbers in a similar manner to the
|
|
way the set was connected in step 5. above.
|
|
|
|
8. To the last "T" of the OUTLET SET (of "T"'s manifold), connect a fairly
|
|
long piece of 3/8" tubing to reach a "safe" location (where connection and
|
|
disconnection of the reciever "bags" will not disturb the scrubbers) and
|
|
secure it. Then put the last piece of 8mm I.D. hard tubing into the free end.
|
|
|
|
9. Finally, prepare several "Reciever Bags" by inserting about an 8" piece of
|
|
tubing into the top so that 3" or 4" sticks out of the "Bag" and secure it in
|
|
place with a rubber band.

You are now the proud owner of the original Folo Zone Nitrous Oxide
|
|
Generator.
|
|
|
|
OPERATION:-
|
|
|
|
First, prepare a quantity of a mixture containing 1/3 sand and 2/3
|
|
ammonium nitrate. Then pour enough of the mixture into the erlenmeyer flask
|
|
to give 1.5" - 2" in the bottom of the flask. Put the flask onto the Hotplate,
|
|
and insert the two-hole stopper, firmly but not too tight. <<THIS STOPPER IS
|
|
YOUR SAFETY VALVE WHILE THE SYSTEM IS OPERATING>>. - - - B-U-T - - -
|
|
|
|
WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
|
|
W W
|
|
A Once the heating of the mixture in the erlenmeyer flask has started A
|
|
R you must REMOVE THE two-hole STOPPER FROM THE FLASK BEFORE TURNING R
|
|
N OFF THE HEAT. Otherwise as the flask starts to cool off, it will N
|
|
I draw water from the scrubbers back into the hot flask and may crack I
|
|
N or EXPLODE the erlenmeyer flask with the STEAM formed inside. N

|
|
|
|
Now you may begin heating the flask. Turn the Hotplate to Medium or Med-
|
|
High and watch the thermometer. (If the temperature climbs very fast, turn
|
|
the Hotplate down, but be patient about turning it up. Occasional bubbles
|
|
will be noted going through the scrubbers as the air in the system expands.
|
|
At 210C (410F) a yellowish to orange-brown mist will begin filling the flask,
|
|
and the bubbling through the scrubbers will become steady.
|
|
|
|
At this time, adjust the upper end heights of the scrubber tubes so that
|
|
each one gets about the same amount of gas passing through it. Keep your eye
|
|
on the temperature, and it should not climb much over the 210-220C (410-430F)
|
|
marks. Also the gas at the top of the scrubbers MUST BE PERFECTLY COLORLESS.
|
|
Otherwise, turn down the heat setting. If the gas flow is to low to give a
|
|
steady flow through all three scrubbers, increase the heat slightly.
|
|
|
|
Once you've run your system a time or two, you'll know what your
|
|
operating settings are.
|
|
|
|
As soon as the gas flow is steady and clean, connect a recieving bag to
|
|
the final outlet tube, and allow the bag to fill. It may be necessary to add
|
|
more ammonium nitrate-sand mixture to the flask from time to time -- Wear
|
|
Gloves as the flask will be HOT when removing the stopper. It is also a good
|
|
idea to turn off the Hotplate while the stopper is out of the flask.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ONCE YOU'VE FILLED A FEW BAGS WITH LAUGHING GAS, YOU'RE READY TO TRY SOME.
|
|
JUST INHALE FROM THE BAG AND HOLD IT IN AS LONG AS YOU CAN. YOU'LL KNOW WHAT
|
|
TO DO FROM THERE.
|
|
|
|
Happy Phreaking -- FZ.
