MATERIAL REQUIRED: ----------------- Small jar with cap Cardboard Adhesive tape Potassium Chlorate Sugar Sulphuric Acid (Battery Acid) Rubber sheeting (automotive inner tube) PROCEDURE: --------- 1. *** Sulphuric acid must be concentrated. *** If battery acid or other dilute acid is used, concentrate it by boiling. Container used should be of enamelwar e or oven glass. When dense white fumes begin to appear, immediately remove the acid form heat *** CAUTION *** Sulphuric acid will burn skin and destroy clothing. If any is spilled, wash it away with a large quantity or water. Fumes are also dangerous and should not be inhaled. 2. Dissolve one part by volume of Potassium Chlorate and one part by volume of s ugar in two parts by volume of boiling water. 3. Allow the solution to cool. When crystals settle, pour off and discard the l iquid. 4. Form a tube from cardboard just large enough to fit around the outside of the jar and 2 to 3 times the height of the jar. Tape one end of the tube closed. 5. Pour wet Potassium Chlorate-sugar crystals into the tube until it is about 2/ 3 full. Stand the tube aside to dry. 6. Drill a hole through the cap of the jar about 1/2 inch (1 1/4 cm) in diameter . 7. Cut a disc from rubber sheet so that it just fits snugly inside the lid of th e jar. 8. Partly fill jar with water, cover with ruboer disc and cap tightly with the d rilled lid. Invert bottle and allow to stand for a few minutes to make sure tha t there are no leaks. THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. 9. Pour water from jar and fill about 1/3 full with concentrated sulphuric acid. Replace the rubber disc and cap tightly. *** IMPORTANT *** Wash outside of jar thoroughly with clear water. If this is not done, the jar m ay be dangerous to handle during use. HOW TO USE: ---------- 1. Place the tube containing the Sugar Chlorate crystals on an incendiary or fla mmable material taped end down. 2. Turn the jar of sulphuric acid cap end down and slide it into the open end of the tube. After a time delay, the acid will eat through the rubber disc and ignite the sug ar chlorate mix. The delay time depends upon the thickness and type of rubber u sed for the disc. Before using this device, tests should be conducted to determ ine the delay NOTE: A piece of standard automobile inner tube (About 1/32" thick) will provid e a delay time of approximately 45 minutes. rection V, No. 6 IMPROVISED WHITE FLARE An improvised white flare can be made from potassium nitrate, aluminum powder an d shellac. It has a time duration of approximately 2 minutes. MATERIALS REQUIRED: SOURCE: ------------------ ------ Potassium nitrate Field grade (Drug store) Aluminum powder (bronzing) Hardware or paint store Shellac Hardware or paint store Quart jar with lid Fuse, 15 in. long Wooden rod, 1/4 in. diameter Tin can, 2-1/2 in. diameter x 5 in. long Flat window screen Wooden block NOTE: All of the above dimensions are approximate. PROCEDURE: --------- 1. Place the potassium nitrate crystals on the screen. Rub the material back an d forth against the screen mesh with the wooden block until the nitrate is granu lated into a powder. 2. Measure 21 tablespoons of the powdered nitrate into a quart jar. Add 21 tabl ef the aluminum powder to the nitrate. 3. Place lid on the jar and shake ineredients vigorously until well mixed. 4. Add 12 tablespoons of shellac to the mixture and stir with the wooden rod. S tore mixture until ready for step 7. 5. Knot one end of the fuse. 6. Wrap the knotted end of the fuse once around the inside bottom of the can wit h the knot at the center. Then, run the rest of the fuse out the center top of the can. 7. Pour the mixture in the can and around the fuse. 8. Store flare mixture away from heat and flame until ready for use, but no long er then three weeks. Section V, No. 7 IMPROVISED IRON OXIDE Iron Oxide can be made from steel wool. It is used in the preparation of improv ised Yellow Flare, Improvised White Smoke Munition and Improvised Black Smoke Mu nition. MATERIAL REQUIRED: SOURCE: ----------------- ------ Steel wool (without soap), approx. Hardware or general store 16 large pads. Smoke pipe, approximately 4 feet e store long x 12 inches in diameter, 1/16 inches thick. Vacuum clraner Hardware store Electrical source (110 v., A.C.) Modern commercial and domestic buildings Window screen Newspaper 2 containers Wooden blocks, if necessary Flame source (matches, lighter, etc.) PROCEDURE: --------- 1. Separate a handful of steel wool into a fluffy ball approximately 12 inches i n diameter and place into one end of the smoke pipe. 2. Place the pipe on a level, nonflammable surface. Steady the pipe, using wood en blocks if necessary. 3. Ignite the steel wool with the flame source and, with the vacuum cleaner, for ce a stream of air through the flame. NOTE: The forced air provided by the vacuum cleaner aids in the burning of the steel wool. If the steel wool does not completely burn, more separation of the wool is needed. 4. When the steel wool has almost completely burned, add another handful of the fluffed steel wool (step No. 1). 5. Continue addi flame a single handful of fluffed wool at a time until a suffic ient amounh of iron oxide granules have accumulated in the stove pipe. 6. Place a window screen on a sheet of newspaper. Pour the burned steel wool gr anules onto the window screen and shake screen until all the fine particles have passed through. 7. Discard those particles on the newspaper which are fibrous and unburned. 8. Save the particles which were too large to pass through the screen in one of the containers for future burning. 9. Store particles of iron oxide (left on newspaper) in another container until ready for use.
