File #1
|
||
|
||
|
||
Welcome to the first installment of The Anarchy 2005 Files. Even though it is 2004, I've
|
||
decided to write quite a few files starting now. This specific file was written in notepad
|
||
under full-screen mode. So if you are viewing this file in notepad, then maximize the program.
|
||
|
||
Just because it worked for us, does NOT mean it will work for you. We know what we are
|
||
doing, we have what you call experience, and one of us is what you call a professional. The
|
||
experienced amateur may safely carry this out with further research; but is not a fully
|
||
amateur project. The payoff for this project is only that of mind satisfaction that you know
|
||
how to make a really super-cool 007 style boobytrap. Explosion wise, you can get much more of
|
||
a bang with other stuff.
|
||
|
||
If there is one thing that the "anarchist" files are really missing, it's a good
|
||
reliable text file on how to make a "Poor Man's James Bond" hand grenade, or clandestine
|
||
handheld boobytrap. There once was a text file I found somewhere on how to make a Zippo
|
||
grenade, it was a rather poor piece of research, not very well written, and not thought
|
||
through very well. I had one question on my mind: How could you make an absolutely devastating
|
||
bomb using a Zippo as the explosive casing?
|
||
|
||
After talking about this with some friends, we decided to test it. We found a bunch of
|
||
old Zippo lighters in our workbench (huge collection of lighters we have). Some of them were
|
||
in alright condition, two were in bad condition, one was in perfect condition. The bad ones we
|
||
decided to fix up. So we replaced many of the springs, threw away non essential parts, etc.
|
||
|
||
Our first test was just a firecracker tryout; we wanted to see basic effects, and work
|
||
from there. We took the cotton and wick out of the lighter, and put a green cannon fuse in
|
||
place of the wick. We then filled the empty metal container area (which previously was stuffed
|
||
with cotton) with black powder. One of my friends suggested we use flash powder, which was a
|
||
valid suggestion. I pointed out, however, that you cannot use flash powder for this explosive
|
||
because the casing is metal, and lots of friction is caused; thus it would be unsafe to put
|
||
together. Black powder is friction sensitive, but is safe as long as you are careful. So,
|
||
flash powder may not be used for this, it is a huge risk.
|
||
|
||
The tryout failed; after lighting the fuse, the black powder ignited, creating a
|
||
rocket effect. Also, the lighter came out of the flip container more than half way. Because of
|
||
this, it was obvious that if we used a faster burning black powder, the lighter would simply
|
||
just rocket out of the metal flip container, it was then our conclusion that an actual
|
||
explosive must be used to get this to work.
|
||
|
||
Now that we had basics out of the way, we could logically figure out what we needed
|
||
to do. Since I am the explosives expert for this experiment, I thought about the best way to
|
||
do it. The goal in my mind is to blow someone's hand off, while also not having to work hard
|
||
to do it. So, acetone peroxide came to mind: No way would I use it as a primary explosive, it
|
||
is way too sensitive. However, it can be used as a booster charge for something bigger, like
|
||
say TNP.
|
||
|
||
You will need to make acetone peroxide, which is highly unstable. For this, you will
|
||
only need to make very small amounts that are easy and mostly safe to deal with. The goal here
|
||
is to get enough acetone peroxide to fit inside of a normal pill capsule. For this bomb, you
|
||
will be using a pill capsule as a miniature firecracker to make the bigger explosive
|
||
surrounding it blow up. So, how to make acetone peroxide:
|
||
|
||
|
||
Materials:
|
||
|
||
3% Hydrogen Peroxide (can be bought at any pharmacy or grocery store)
|
||
Sulfuric Acid (Liquid Fire Drain Opener found at the hardware store, red bottle)
|
||
Acetone (found at the hardware store in the paint section, do not use nail polish remover)
|
||
Glass Beaker (Pyrex glass dish, do not use plastic)
|
||
Thermometer (should be glass, must go down to 40 <20>F)
|
||
Glass Eyedropper (Store, anywhere)
|
||
|
||
Procedure:
|
||
|
||
Create an ice bath for the glass beaker. It is best to freeze ice around the glass
|
||
beaker in a bucket. Chill the acetone in the freezer, it must be cold. Now measure out 500ml
|
||
hydrogen peroxide, and slowly boil it at water boiling temperature down to at least 250mL
|
||
(60mL would be best, but you don't want to boil it down too far or your hydrogen peroxide will
|
||
be too pure, and too dangerous) Let the boiled down hydrogen peroxide cool in the fridge for
|
||
a few hours, or let it chill in the freezer (it is best to not let it freeze).
|
||
|
||
Put the hydrogen peroxide in the beaker with the ice bath, and add 60mL of acetone.
|
||
Measure the temperature until it reaches 50 <20>F (10 <20>C). Doing the reaction over 50 <20>F (10 <20>C)
|
||
will result in production of the wrong explosive; a much more dangerous explosive that you do
|
||
not want. Once the temperature reaches about 40 <20>F (4 <20>C), you can begin adding the sulfuric
|
||
acid. Measure out 15mL of sulfuric acid, and add the acid to the acetone/hydrogen peroxide
|
||
mixture slowly with the glass eyedropper. While doing this, do not allow the temperature to
|
||
get near 50 <20>F (10 <20>C). If the temperature begins to rise near 50 <20>F (10 <20>C), quit adding the
|
||
sulfuric acid, and wait for the temperature to drop again; do this until you are done adding
|
||
all the acid. When you are done, stir a bit, and let the reaction sit for about 15 minutes.
|
||
Take the beaker out of the ice bath, and place in the fridge for at least 24 hours. The liquid
|
||
will form crystals that can then be filtered out using a coffee filter. After it is filtered
|
||
out, pour 400mL of water over the filtered powder to wash the acid off. Let the powder dry,
|
||
this is Acetone Peroxide.
|
||
|
||
Be very careful with this stuff, it is extremely sensitive. If you ignored the specific
|
||
instructions when it comes to temperature, you will have made dicycloacetone peroxide; which
|
||
is touch sensitive.
|
||
|
||
You now need to make a small firecracker from the acetone peroxide. You want to do this
|
||
as safely as possible, since acetone peroxide is very friction sensitive. The best procedure
|
||
here is to empty a pill capsule, and scoop acetone peroxide into it. That way the capsule is
|
||
like a firecracker. To do this, first take the wick out of the Zippo lighter. If it is a new
|
||
lighter, use the lighter about thirty or fourty times, that way the wick looks black and used.
|
||
Mix a little bit of water with some black powder (Pyrodex is good) until it has a paste feel,
|
||
then soak and rub the paste into the wick. Strain the wick, and let it dry in the sun. Now
|
||
you must poke a small hole in a pill capsule big enough to fit the wick in. You can easily do
|
||
this wtih an exacto knife. When the wick is done drying, put one end inside the hole of the
|
||
pill.
|
||
|
||
Now scoop acetone peroxide into both ends of the pill, and very carefully fit them
|
||
together. Clean all of the acetone peroxide off of the pill's surface (do not use water, water
|
||
dissolves the pill). Then take some super glue (only super glue, you must use a very fast
|
||
drying glue), and drip small bits of it on the pill. Do not add a whole bunch at once, because
|
||
the super glue will eat the pill, and the more super glue you use, the longer it takes to dry.
|
||
So, drip it slowly, that way it dries quickly and does not cause any deterioration of the pill.
|
||
This will seal it very well, making the explosion just that much bigger.
|
||
Put the other end of the wick through the Zippo's wick hole, and you now have a firecracker
|
||
inside of a Zippo. If you were to spin the spark-wheel and light it now, the lighter would
|
||
most likely make a giant bang sound with no harm done (but test it before you prank, acetone
|
||
peroxide is unpredictable in all circumstances).

|
||
|
||
Now that we have the booster charge set up, we need a primary explosive... The one that
|
||
will take off a hand. TNP (aka Trinitrophenol, Picric Acid) is probably the best first choice
|
||
since it is pretty easy to make out of common chemicals. Other primary explosives can be
|
||
used, such as C-4 or Plastique. If using C-4 or Plastique, more effort must be put
|
||
into the blasting cap, since more explosive impact is required to make C-4 or plastique
|
||
explode.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Materials:
|
||
|
||
Sulfuric Acid (Liquid Fire Drain Opener works)
|
||
Potassium Nitrate (Stump Remover found at hardware stores, Salt Petre at pharmacies)
|
||
20 Aspirin Tablets, each with 500mg (or 62 tablets with 325mg)
|
||
Acetone
|
||
Cold Distilled Water
|
||
Glass Beaker
|
||
|
||
Procedure:
|
||
|
||
First, crush up your aspirin tablets into a powder. Heat 200mL of acetone at 104 <20>F
|
||
(40 <20>C) in the glass beaker. When the acetone is hot, add the crushed aspirin powder to the
|
||
hot acetone, and stir it until it is all dissolved. Filter this solution with a coffee filter,
|
||
throw away the coffee filter and it's contents, keep the liquid. Evaporate the liquid, and
|
||
you will have about 20 grams of Acetylsalicylic Acid (ASA). If you have two days to spare, you
|
||
can let the liquid evaporate in the beaker.
|
||
Once you have dry ASA, powder it in a mortar and pestel. Put 150mL sulfuric acid into an 800mL
|
||
beaker, and add the dry ASA to it until it is all dissolved. If the ASA does not completely
|
||
dissolve, heat the mixture lightly and stir to get it to dissolve.
|
||
This next step can be kindof scary, but if you take special precaution, you won't have any
|
||
trouble. Put on some chemical resistant gloves, face mask, and goggles. You must do this step
|
||
outside, because deadly red nitrogen dioxide gas will be formed. Add 20 grams of potassium
|
||
nitrate over the course of 10-15 minutes evenly, stir with a glass stir bar. When the solution
|
||
begins to bubble, or the red gas begins to form, slow down the addition of potassium nitrate.
|
||
When you're done adding the potassium nitrate, let the solution return to room temperature.
|
||
Stir for a few minutes, then put the solution somewhere cold (just above freezing) for a few
|
||
hours. Most of the picric acid will settle to the bottom. Now filter it with coffee filters,
|
||
and discard the liquid. The yellowish solid left in the coffee filter(s) is the Picric Acid.
|
||
Now you need to purify it to remove the acid from it.
|
||
Heat up 250mL of water in a beaker. When it starts to boil, take it off of the heat source,
|
||
and stir in the picric acid crystals. Stir this for about 3-5 minutes until completely
|
||
dissolved. Filter this solution while it's still hot (within 5 minutes of the addition of
|
||
the picric acid). Now put the solution in the fridge for a few hours. Now filter out the
|
||
formed picric acid crystals.
|
||
|
||
Picric acid is relatively safe to deal with, but it is recommended that you
|
||
pre-package it in a cellophane cigarette wrapper before putting it inside the lighter. The
|
||
reason for this is that the TNP might react with the metal of the lighter, and explode. So it
|
||
is better to wrap it in plastic, that way it will not have contact with the metal. When you
|
||
place the TNP charge inside the Zippo, you must make sure that the acetone peroxide pill
|
||
firecracker is in the center of the TNP charge, that way the acetone peroxide will no doubt
|
||
make the TNP explode. Basically, it should look like a small brick-like firecracker with a
|
||
black fuse coming out of it. We found that using box-like bubble gum packets for charge forms
|
||
was useful. Before placing it inside the Zippo, it might be a good idea to seal some of the
|
||
lighter cracks with super glue. Just make sure not to super glue the spark-wheel. Now slip
|
||
the fuse/wick through the Zippo's wick hole, and secure the charge in place. Pack it as much
|
||
as you feel safe doing; just remember that this stuff can be pressure sensitive.
|
||
|
||
When everything is packed inside the lighter, you may add super glue on top of it,
|
||
that way it seals properly. We used JB-Weld to seal the bottom completely, that way there
|
||
would be no rocket effect. The idea is to make sure that everything is as stuck as possible.
|
||
In this case, the JB-Weld seal makes sure that the explosive actually makes the metal shatter
|
||
outward, instead of just separating from the casing. After examination, we decided that the
|
||
explosive mechanism was complete, and we were ready to put the mechanism inside the metal
|
||
Zippo casing. We decided that it would be better to coat the inside of the metal Zippos
|
||
casing, that way the Zippo lighter/explosive mechanism would actually get stuck inside, thus
|
||
further preventing a rocket explosion reaction.
|
||
|
||
If you have gone this far, you are completely done with the boobytrap/grenade
|
||
(Grenade only if you trust yourself). For our first tests, we converted two lighters into
|
||
bombs, the only difference in the procedure is that we used a longer wick/fuse, that way we
|
||
could light it and run. Both tests were a complete success, both producing a rather large bang
|
||
(comparable to a respectable shotgun blast). After video examination, we determined that when
|
||
the wick reached what would be the starting point for a boobytrap (short fuse that resembles a
|
||
normal wick to the unsuspecting), it took an average of 2.5 seconds (our safe-time estimation)
|
||
for the Zippo to explode. With this in mind, we did an actual test.
|
||
|
||
We converted two more Zippo's into actual boobytraps (short fuse that resembles a
|
||
wick). The first test was a success: We spun the spark-wheel (and ran away very fast), it
|
||
flickered with sparks, and then blew up a few seconds later. The cool thing about this is that
|
||
the prolonged sparkling effect is not uncommon for Zippos, alot of people have seen average
|
||
flints and wicks sparkle for more than two seconds. The second test was also a success, but
|
||
this time it was much more dangerous. Our lab rat held the Zippo in his hand (stupid, yes, but
|
||
we had survivalism on our minds), spun the spark-wheel, and threw it immediatly. No problems
|
||
resulted.
