The hydrochloric acid goody is the most fun in the whole book. It takes
|
|
many forms and works on the principle the hydrochloric acid reacts with
|
|
aluminum powder, foil or metal, releasing a great, dark cloud or noxious gas
|
|
which looks horrible and smells worse.
|
|
|
|
Hydrochloric acid is used for killing algae in swimming pools and for
|
|
cleaning tile and stone work.
|
|
|
|
Where swimming pools are common it can be bought at the supermarket for
|
|
less than a dollar a gallon. It is also sold at hardware stores.
|
|
|
|
Being only 37% strength, it is seldom harmful to the skin but will eat
|
|
through clothing like battery acid.
|
|
|
|
Hydrochloric acid is also know as muriatic acid.
|
|
|
|
On damp nights, a bottle of the acid alone, broken in the midst of a
|
|
crowd, will form noxious clouds of chlorine gas. Scream "Poison gas!" and you
|
|
will have a panic that will give you laughs for years.
|
|
|
|
When you get some, open it up and give it a sniff. It won't hurt you
|
|
because you couldn't stand to smell enough to be harmed. Then put a couple of
|
|
square inches of aluminum foil in a can in your sink and pour some acid on the
|
|
foil. If the acid bottle has been tightly capped the reaction of breaking down
|
|
the aluminum and producing a dark noxious gas should start in about a minute.
|
|
If the bottle has been setting for months, poorly capped, the reaction may be
|
|
immediate. You can stop the action at any time by turning on the faucet and
|
|
flooding the aluminum with water.
|
|
|
|
When you have tested the reaction with foil, try it with powder and then
|
|
with aluminum metal cut from pipe or a slab.
|
|
|
|
The versatility of the hydrochloric acid goody is amazing and should keep
|
|
you fascinated for hours.
|
|
|
|
Say you're sitting in a booth in a gay bar. You have a brown paper bag
|
|
at your feet by the wall. In the bag is a gallon wine bottle. Now, being a
|
|
practical joker, you have poured about a pint of the hydrochloric acid into
|
|
the bottle and nearly filled it with gasoline. The acid is on the bottom as it
|
|
is heavier than the gasoline.
|
|
|
|
When you finished your beer, you drop a few chunks of aluminum cut from a
|
|
pipe into the bottle and cap it tightly. Then you swish out, so you won't be
|
|
noticed. Soon the gas will burst the bottle and gasoline will be everywhere.
|
|
And if many of the dear things are smoking there will be burning faggots
|
|
galore. Burning faggots, get it? Oh well.
|
|
|
|
Of course, the Militant's most common use of the hydrochloric acid goody
|
|
is to clear areas of people he doesn't like. In a movie or a meeting hall a
|
|
tin can full of aluminum powder, foil or chunks is put under a seat. The acid
|
|
is in a bottle with its mouth covered with a couple of plastic bags held in
|
|
place with a rubber band. You can also use a plain rubber or a balloon over
|
|
the mouth of the bottle.
|
|
|
|
The cover is pierced with a pencil and the bottle is upended into the can,
|
|
after which, the Militant gets up and walks out. If the acid is old and reacts
|
|
immediately, a wad of sponge is put over the aluminum, causing the needed
|
|
delay.
|
|
|
|
A person sitting beside the Militant would not notice anything, especially
|
|
if something exciting was happening up front. By the time he noticed the odor
|
|
the reaction would have left him with nothing to do but run squealing and
|
|
pissing from the scene.
|
|
|
|
The outside goody is great, too. It is used to break up parades and
|
|
demonstrations and in riots, where it's every man for himself and the devil
|
|
take the hindmost.
|
|
|
|
It is simply a pint or quart bottle (a quart is better) filled with goody
|
|
and wrapped with several layers of aluminum foil and put in a paper sack.
|
|
|
|
Now, say a group of Militants infiltrate a civilian parade at different
|
|
points. At an agreed upon time they yell, "They're throwing things!" Then,
|
|
while the other paraders are looking around and up, the Militants crash their
|
|
outside goodies, still in the sacks, to the pavement.
|
|
|
|
As the parade moves on, the Militants filter back to where the goodies
|
|
are. When the reaction starts they scream, "Poison gas! Poison gas!" and
|
|
panic the whole mob out of the action.
|
|
|
|
The aluminum wrapped bottles have to be slammed down hard or they might
|
|
now break. If it's something like a smoke or pipe bomb, there is a better way
|
|
than to throw them down.
|
|
|
|
It is a good thing to cut out one of your pants pockets for this one. The
|
|
bomb is in a sack under your jacket. You light its fuse with a cigarette and
|
|
slip the bomb into your pocket and let it drop down your pants leg.
|
|
|
|
It is best not to wear boots with this one.
