MESSAGE #11: WICKS!! MSG LEFT BY: SYSTEM OPERATOR DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHERE TO GET FUSES. OR HOW TO MAKE THEM.ALSO WHERE CAN I GET POTASSIUM NITRATE.EVERYBODY SAYS SALTPETER BUT NO DRUGSTORES IN MY AREA HAVE IT. SYSOP MESSAGE #12: WICK/FUSE MSG LEFT BY: STORM SHADOW LAST NIGHT I WROTE OUT A LITTLE ENTRY TO MY OWN LITTLE JOURNAL 'BLACK BOOK' IF YOU WILL...CALLED BLACKMATCH FUSES AND SULFURED WICKS. BLACKMATCH FUSE. GET A SMALL FLAT PIECE OF PLASTIC OR METAL (BRASS OR ALUMINUM). DRILL A 1/16 INCH HOLE IN IT. THIS IS TO BE YOUR DIE NEXT TAKE =COTTON= THREAD AND CUT INTO 1 FOOT LENGTHS. PUT TOGATHER UNTIL THEY FILL THE DIE, BUT ARE EASY TO PULL THROUGH. NOW, TIE ONE END. NEXT MIX BLACK POWDER AND WATER TO A THIN PASTE CONSISTENCY. ADD 1/2 TSP. CORN STARCH (FOR STIFFNES). NOW TAKE THE COTTON THREAD BUNDLE AND PUT IT INTO THE BLACK POWDER MIXTURE. PRESS UNDER THE SURFACE WITH THE BACK OF A SPOON. TAKE THE END YOU ARE HOLDING AND THREAD IT THROUGH THE DIE, AND WITH ONE LONG MOTION, PULL IT THROUGH. HANG THE FUSE TO DRY IN YOUR OVEN, FROM THE TOP RACK, AND BAKE AT 250 DEGREES. BE CAREFUL TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FUSE DOES NOT TOUCH ANYTHING EXCEPT THE RACK...WALLAH...BLACKMATCH FUSES! --------------------------------------- / / SULFURED WICKS NEXT... /TORM /HADOW PH&K INDUSTRIES MESSAGE #13: CONT'D...WICKS MSG LEFT BY: STORM SHADOW OK SULFURED WICKS CAN BE USED TO EXTEND BLACKMATCH, BY TIEING THEM TOGETHER WITH STRING OR THREAD. TAKE SULFUR AND BAKE IN AN OVEN AT 250 DEGREES UNTIL IT MELTS TO A CLEAR YELLOW COLOR. IF IT TURNS BROWN, IT'S TOO HOT. NEXT TAKE SOME HEAVY =COTTON= STRING (1/8 INCH) AND SOAK IT IN THE MELTED SULFUR, PRESSING IT UNDER W/THE BACK OF A SPOON. NEXT TAKE IT OUT AND HANG TO DRY, SIMILAR TO BLACKMATCH, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BAKE IT. --------------------------------------- A NOTE: CUT BOTH THE SULFUR AND THE BLACKMATCH INTO 2 INCH LENGTHS WHEN IT IS DRY. STORE THE BLACKMATCH IN AN AIRTIGHT CONTAINER. --------------------------------------- NOTE #2: THE WICK BURNS WITH A BLUE FLAME, AND DOESN'T GO OUT IN A FAIR TO MODERATE WIND. THE BALCKMATCH BURNS, GIVING OFF SPARKS WHICH MAY IGNITE ALONG IT'S LENGTH, CAUSING AN IRREGULAR BURNING TIME. THE SULFURED WICK WON'T BURN THROUGH A HOLE IN METAL, WHICH IS WHY YOU NEED THE BLACKMATCH --------------------------------------- / / *=*=THANKS TO THE =*=* /TORM /HADOW *RESEARCHER..........* MESSAGE #14: FUSES/WICKS MSG LEFT BY: SYSTEM OPERATOR THIS IS THE WAY I MADE MY FUSES A COUPLE OF NIGHTS AGO. MIX POTASSIUM NITRATE (SALTPETER) AND WATER AND LIQUID STARCH.THEN DIP COTTON STRIPS INTO THE LIQUID AND LET THEM DRY.I USED AN OLD COTTON SHIRT AND TORE IT INTO LITTLE STRIPS AND DIPPED THEM INTO THE LIQUID. AN INCH OF THIS FUSE TAKE ABOUT 30 SECS TO BURN.WITH THE MORE POTASSIUM NITRATE THE FASTER IT BURNS. SYSOP MESSAGE #15: TEAR GAS MSG LEFT BY: SHADOW LORD I HAVE SOME ARMY TEARGAS CANISTERS, AND THE INGREDIANS ARE: 3% PHENYLCHLOROMETHYLKETONE SUPENED IN A NON-TOXIC SOLVENT. I HAVE NOT TAKEN CHEM. YET, SO CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO MAKE THE PHENYLCLOROMETHYLKETONE? THANKS, ------------> SHADOWLORD <---------- MESSAGE #16: FIRE PILL MSG LEFT BY: SHADOW LORD GO TO YOU FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD PHARMACY AND ASK FOR A BOTTLE OF METHEAMINE, ALSO KNOWN AS HEXAMETHYLANAMINE. THEN TAKE OUT A PILL AND LIGHT IT. WOW,A FIRE DISPLAY! (DONT WORRY, WHEN YOU LIGHT IT, IT WON'T FLARE UP IN YOU FACE OR ANY MEAN THING LIKE THAT. IT TAKES A WHILE TO GET GOING. SA LONG, SHADOWLORD MESSAGE #17: SMOKE BOMBS MSG LEFT BY: SHADOW LORD FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DON'T KNOW THIS ONE ALREADY, HERE IS A MIXTURE FOR GREAT SMOKE BOMBS. 1) ADD FOUR PARTS OF SUGAR(BY VOLUME) TO SIX PARTS OF POTASSIUM NITRATE (SALTPETER). 2) HEAT OVER A LOW FLAME UNTIL IT MELTS, STIR WELL. POUR INTO FUTURE CONTAINER. BEFORE IT SOLIDIFIES IMBEDD A FEW MATCHES AS FUSES INTO THE MIXTURE, OR JUST USE FUSE. ONE LB. OF THE STUFF FILLS A BLOCK NICELY WITH THICK WHITE SMOKE. HAVE PHUN, SHADOWLORD MESSAGE #18: IMPACT BOMB MSG LEFT BY: SHADOW LORD AGAIN, FOR THOSE HO DON'T KNOW THIS ONE, HERE IS A NIFTY LITTLE MIXTURE. 1) ADD THREE GRAMS OF POTASSIUM IODIDE AND FIVE GRAMSOF IODINE IN A BEAKER WITH 50 ML. OF WATER AND MIX IT ALL TOGETHER. 2) ADD 20 ML. OF AMMONIUM HYDROXIDE (AMMONIA WATER 10%). 3) FILTER AND THE RESULTING SOLID IS CALLED NITROGEN TRIIODIDE. WHEN WET IT IS VERY SAFE, BUT UPON DRYING, IT BECOMES VERY EXPLOSIVE AND SHOCK SENSITIVE, TO THE POINT OF A FEATHER SETTING I OFF. SO LONG, GO BLOWER, SHADOWLORD MESSAGE #19: 1 MORE IMPACT BMB MSG LEFT BY: SHADOW LORD TRY MIXIN PETROLEUM JELLY AND POTASSIUM CHLORATE IN A 1 TO 1 RATIO. (BY WEIGHT). THIS MAKES A TOTALLY SAFE WHEN WET COMPOUND, BUT HIGLY SHOCK SENSITIVE WHEN DRY. SA LONG, SHADOWLORD MESSAGE #20: WILL THIS WORK?! MSG LEFT BY: SHADOW LORD I WAS LOOKING OVER SOME OF MY EXPLOSIVES ARTICLES, AND I WAS THINKING IF THERE WAS ANY WAY TO MAKE IMPACT EXPLODING PLASTIC EXPLOSTIVE.I CAME UPON A METHOD THAT I THINK SHOULD WORK, BUT I'VE NEVER TRYED IT SO I DON'T KNOW. IF ANYONE HAS EVER DONE THIS, PLEASE TELL ME. HERE IT IS: MIX 7 PARTS POTASSIUM CHLORATE FOR EVERY ONE PART OF PETROLEUM JELLY. (THAT MAKES THE PLASTIC EXPLOSIVE) THEN , MAKKE A CAPSULE OF EITHER THIN GLASS, OR JUST A PLAIN PLASTIC-TYPE MEDICINE CAPSULE, AND FILL IT HALFWAY WITH WATER. THEN,USING WAX,SEAL OFF THAT HALF SO THAT NO WATER LEAKS THRU. IN THE OTHER HALF, PUT SOME PURE SODIUM.THEN SEAL THE CAPSULE. TAKE THE CAPSULE AND IMBEDD IT IN THE PLASTIC X-PLOSIVE. THEN^, IF YOU THRU THE PLASTIC EXPLOSIVE AGAINST SUMTIN',OR APPLY CONSIDERABLE ENUF PRESSURE TO BREAK THE CAPSULE, THE SODIUM & WATER WOULD MIX, CAUSING COMBUSTION,THEREFORE IGNITING THE PLASTIC EXPLOSIVE AND SETTING IT OFF. LIKE I SAID, I DON'T KNOW IF IT WOULD WORK, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WOULD. IF ANYONE DOES THIS, OR ALREADY DID IT AND KNOWS THE RESULT, PLEASE CONTACT ME VIA E-MAIL & LET ME KNOW. THANKS & HAPPY BLASTIN', SHADOWLORD MESSAGE #22: KNO3 + SUGAR MSG LEFT BY: MICHAEL DECAYE I KNOW THIS IS THE OLDEST SMOKE BOMB IN THE BOOK, BUT I THOUGHT I MIGHT SHARE MY EXPERIENCES. I FIRST MIXED SOME POTASIUM NITRATE (SALT PETRE (KNO3)) AND SUGAR 50/50. WE MELTED IT AT A RELATIVELY HIGH FLAME (3/4 FULL) AND MADE THE MISTAKE OF UNDERESTIMATING THE FLAMABLENESS OF A "LIQUID". WE WERE MELTING IT IN A LOW PAN, AND AS I TILTED IT TO STIR IT OFF THE BOTTOM, IT CAUGHT. THE FLAMES SHOT UP TO THE CEILING AND COVERED THE CUPBOARD DOOR. I WAS LUCKY. THE SECOND TIME, I MIXED IT 50/50 AGAIN. I ALSO USED I HIGH POT TO MIX IT IN AT A VERY LOW FLAME. WHEN IT WAS THOUROUGHLY MELTED (TO THE POINT THAT IT WAS STARTING TO SMOKE) I POURED IT IN A PIE PAN. AFTER IT DRIED, I POURED A SMALL AMOUT OF GASOLINE IN THE PAN AND TOSSED A MATCH. THIS IS A SMALL MIXTURE BY THE WAY (NO MORE THAN 1 CUP TOTAL). THE SMOKE WAS ALOT, BUT DISSAPPOINTINGLY "HAZY". NOT VERY THICK. MY LATEST VENTURE INCLUDES A SMALL SCALE SMOKE BOMB. I'VE BOUGHTEN A 6" LENGTH OF PPC PIPING WITH A COUPLE CAPS FOR THE ENDS. I ALSO GOT 10' OF FUSE FOR $1.89 FROM MY LOCAL HOBBY SHOP (OVER IN THE ROCKET DEPT.) THAT BURNS 30 SECS A FOOT. I'M GONNA MIX 6 OZ. KNO3 + SUGAR IN A 40/60 RATIO, POUR IN THE PIPE, INSERT THE FUSE, LET DRY, LIGHT, AND HOPE THE HOLE I CUT IN THE END FOR THE FUSE IS ALSO BIG ENOUGH TO LET ALL THE SMOKE OUT OR ELSE....... WELL YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE... -MDC- MESSAGE #24: CAR BOMB MSG LEFT BY: MICHAEL DECAYE I READ THIS FROM THE MANIAC'S LAIR ON SPLIT INFINITY IN CA, FOR THOS OF YOU WHO REMEMBER IT. IT'S A SIMPLE LITTLE CAR BOMB THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE PRETTY EFFECTIVE, THOUGH I HAVEN'T TRIED IT MYSELF. SIMPLY GET ONE OF THE PRESCRIPTION BOTTLES THAT YOU HAVE TO PUSH-TO-OPEN. FILL THE BOTTLE WITH LIQUID DRAYNO. DROP IT IN YOUR VICTIMS GAS TANK, AND IN APPROXIMATELY 5 MIN... BOOM! IF ANYONE DOES IT, TELL US ABOUT IT. -MDC- MESSAGE #25: ANOTHER FUSE MSG LEFT BY: THE PENGUIN THIS IDEA IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT, BUT IT WORKS. OK YOU TAKE A PIECE OF RIBBON LIKE FROM AN X-MAS PACKAGE AND DIP IT INTO ASTRINGENT (THE STUFF YOU CLEAN YOUR FACE WITH) AND IT WILL BURN AT A RATE OF 1/4" PER 5-10 SECONDS. I USED A 2 INCH PIECE. THIS CAN BE USED FOR THE POWER BOMBS THAT YOU NEED TO GET AWAY FROM, BUT DON'T WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE ON THEM 'GOING OUT', WITH THE ALCHOHOL IN ASTRINGENT THE ONLY THING THAT WILL PUT THIS FUSE OUT IS WATER. SO DON'T USE IN A RAIN STORM! THE PENGUIN - SYSOP OF TSPNET 2.3 MESSAGE #26: ADENDUM MSG LEFT BY: THE PENGUIN TO THE ABOVE: I FOUND OUT THE ASTRINGENT I USED IS 67% ALCOHOL, YOU CAN ALSO USE RUBBING ALCOHOL AT 70%. ONE MORE THING, I ALSO TRIED WAS TAKING A COTTON BALL AND KINDA STRETCHING IT(THIS WAS DONE ON A SUGGESTION FROM OUR SYSOP) IT WORKS GREAT. I RAN ONE MORE EXPERIMENT ON FUSES BUT I'LL WAIT TO POST THE RESULTS UNTIL I TEST THE FINAL PRODUCT TOMORROW AFTERNOON, JEDI REMEMBER TO BRING SOMETHING EXPLOSIVE! THE PENGUIN MESSAGE #27: NAPLAM MSG LEFT BY: SYSTEM OPERATOR SP ON THAT.WELL THE PENGUIN AND I HAVE JUST HAD A FEW FUN HOURS OF BLOWING UP STUFF.HE MADE NAPALM AND I LOVED THE STUFF I PUT BLACK POWDER IN ABOUT 4 LAYERS OF DUCT TAPE WITH NAPALM IN BETWEEN EACH LAYER.THEN WE PUT NAPALM ON TOP OF THE SMALL PACKAGE.THEN WE LIT IT.THE THING BURNT FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES BEFORE ANY OF THE BLACK POWDER LIT THEN IT QUITE AND A COUPLE OF MORE MINUTES IT LIT UP AGAIN.NEEDLESS TO SAY THE THING ALMOST HIT ME TWICE AND DIDNT EVEN COME CLOSE TO THE PENGUIN. OH WELL I JUST MADE SMOKE BOMB WITH RED FOOD COLORING IN IT.I WILL POST WHAT HAPPENS. JW MESSAGE #28: AWESOME MSG LEFT BY: SYSTEM OPERATOR AWESOME IT WAS TOTALLY AWESOME. THE RED FOOD COLORING MADE THE SMOKE A FAINT PURPLE I THINK IF I HAD ADDED MORE COLORING IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A LOT DARKER.IT DIN'T LAST LONG BUT IT WAS ONLY ABOUT 5 TABLESPOONDS WORTH OF ALL THE POWDERS.BUT IT WAS GREAT. JW MESSAGE #29: SAME RESULTS MSG LEFT BY: THE PENGUIN I ALSO TRIED THE SMOKE BOMBS WITH A 50/50 RATIO SUGAR AND POT. NIT. I ALSO TRIED THE RED, I PUT A LITTLE MORE IN I THINK BECAUSE IT WAS RATHER DARK, ALMOST A BLACK/RED SMOKE. NOT REALLY PURPLE. OH WELL, OFF THE BUY THE CHEMICALS TOMORROW! THE PENGUIN MESSAGE #30: ME TOO MSG LEFT BY: MICHAEL DECAYE ALL- I MIXED UP 6 OZ. OF POT. NIT. AND ABOUT 10 OZ. OF SUGAR IN A BIG POT. I THINK I SHOULD HAVE MIXED IT IN TWO DIFFERENT DAYS, SO THE STUFF I POURED IN TODAY COULD DRY AND SHRINK LIKE IT DOES, AND THEN FILL IT UP AGAIN. THE WAY IT TURNED OUT SO FAR IS... I FILLED ABOUT AN 8IN. PLASTIC PIPE, A BOTTLE (THAT USED TO HAVE SOME VIT. C), AND A SMALL CLAY POT. I PUT ABOUT 6 IN. OF FUSE IN EACH, WHICH LASTS ABOUT 15 SEC. IT'S MORE THAN I NEED, BUT I LIKE TO WATCH THE FUSE BURN (IT'S REAL-LIVE STORE- BOUGHT STUFF). I'LL PROBABLY LIGHT ONE OR TWO TOMMARROW (I THINK I'LL DO IT IN THE MAIN BUILDING OF MY OLD (LAST YEAR) HIGH SCHOOL...). I WISH I HAD CALLED BEFORE I DID IT SO I COULD HAVE ADDED SOME FOOD COLORING. THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. IT'D BE COOL TO PUT SEVERAL LAYERS, EACH WITH A DIFFERENT COLOR. -MDC- MESSAGE #31: CRUSHIN MSG LEFT BY: SYSTEM OPERATOR I FOUND A VISE COMES IN VERY HANDY WHEN HAVING TO CRUSH MODEL ROCKET ENGINES. SYSOP MESSAGE #32: HEY JEDI! MSG LEFT BY: THE PENGUIN WHO GAVE YA THE IDEA PAL. OR DON'T YOU (SORRY) BELIEVE IN GIVING CREDIT WHERE IT IS DUE! PENGO MESSAGE #33: 1/3 GONE MSG LEFT BY: MICHAEL DECAYE I LIT OFF ONE OF THE THREE SMOKE BOMBS I MADE. I'M SICK OF SMOKE BOMBS. IT LASTED A LONG TIME BUT THE SMOKE WAS RATHER THIN. FOR THE MONEY, YOU'RE BETTER OFF GETTING "SMOKE POTS" ON THE FOURTH, IF YOU CAN WAIT FOR A YEAR. YOU CAN ALSO MAIL ORDER THE STUFF, BUT THEY WON'T DELIVER OUT HERE TO CALIF BECAUSE IT'S ILLEGAL HERE. TOO BAD. GOTTA UPS IT, AND THAT'D COST A BUNCH. VICES WORK GREAT FOR ROCKET ENGINES. I KNEW THAT TOO. THE ONLY REASON I POSTED THIS IS BECAUSE HE SAID NOT TO CALL IF YOU DON'T POST, AND I FELT GUILTY. -MDC- MESSAGE #34: POTASSIUM NITRATE MSG LEFT BY: SYSTEM OPERATOR OK HERE'S A WAY TO MAKE POTASSIUM NITRATE. CAUTION...!!!!!! THIS IS A VERY VIOLENT MIXTURE,AND MAY BLOW UP SO BE VERY CAREFUL.THIS HAS NOT BEEN TRIED YET. MIX POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE AND NITRIC ACID. THE POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE SHOULD BE IN A PELLET FORM AND THIS SHOULD BE PUT IN WATER BEFORE!!!! THE NITRIC ACID IS PUT IN.THIS WILL MAKE POTASSIUM NITRATE IN WATER.JUST DISTILL OFF THE WATER AND THERE SHOULD BE THE KNO3. BUT REMEMBER THIS HAS NOT BE TRIED. MESSAGE #35: SHADOW LORD. MSG LEFT BY: STORM SHADOW HAVE YOU PERSONALLY DONE ANY OF THE THINGS THAT YOU DESCRIBE? IF NOT, THEN TELL US SO... THE GENERAL SECTION IS RICH IN STUFF..OH YEAH...TO COLOR A SMOKE BOMB, JUST ADD IODINE CRYSTALS. BE CAREFUL NOT TO BREATHE TOO MUCH OF THE SMOKE THOUGH, AS IT IS MERELY VERY FINE IODINE CRYSTALS SUSPENDED IN THE REST OF THE GARBAGE. HAVE MUCH FUN. AND. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO MAKE A URINE OR ASPRIN BOMB? I NEED THE RECIPE TO ADD TO MY COLLECTION. ALSO. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF AN EXPLOSIVE MIXTURE THAT MAY BE MADE WITH SIMPLE INGREDIANTS LIKE SANI-FLUSH OR COLGATE OR NOXEMA OR STUFF THAT IS *NORMALLY* AROUND THE HOUSE????? SHADOW STORM MESSAGE #36: MERCURY FULMINATE MSG LEFT BY: MR. DOP ME HERE... MERCURY FULMINATE IS A HIGH EXPLOSIVE COMMONLY USED IN BLASTING CAPS. THE RECIPE IS AS FOLLOWS: 1. MIX 5 MG OF MERCURY WITH 35 ML OF NITRIC ACID. 2. SLOWLY AND GENTLY HEAT THE MIXTURE. WHEN THE SOLUTION BUBBLES AND TURNS GREEN, THE MURCURY IS DISSOLVED. 3. AFTER IT IS DISSOLVED THE SOLUTON IS POURED SLOWLY INTO A FLASK OF ETHYL ALCOHOL. THIS WILL RESULT IN RED FUMES. 4. AFTER A HALF HOUR OR SO THE RED FUMES WILL TURN WHITE, INDICATING THAT THE PROCESS IS ALMOST DONE. 5. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, ADD DISTILLED WATER TO THE SOLUTION. 6. NOW, FILTER THE ENTIRE SOLUTION. THE CRYSTALS THAT REMAIN ARE PURE MERCURY FULMINATE. WASH THE CRYSTALS SEVERAL TIMES TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NO ACID LEFT ON THEM. I HAVENT TRIED THIS YET SO BE CARFULL LATER... -= DOP =- MESSAGE #37: FULMINATE OF MERCURY MSG LEFT BY: THE WIZARD HEY ALL! A WORD OF WARNING..... WHEN MAKING OR HANDLING FULMINATE OF MERCURY, BE VERY CAREFUL WITH IT!!!!!
