Smoke Bomb by
Alpine Hacker:
This recipe was witten by Alpine Kracker. It originally appeared in
Phrack #6. But, we thought it was appropriate for this newsletter.
Ingredients:
Saltpetre (Potassium Nitrate)
Sugar
Alcohol
(100% is best, but plain rubbing alcohol will work)
Gunpowder (or some ground-up rocket
engines)
Matches (Get a box of 50 packs -they can be very useful.)
Coffee
can
Cigarette
Directions:
Combine the sugar and saltpetre in
a 3:1 ratio (Sugar:saltpetre) and heat
over a low flame until the mixture has
thoroughly melted together. (It will
look like sticky white lumps when ready) You need
to stir this continually
while heating, and remove it from the flame at the very first
sign of smoke.
I had a batch go off in my face once, and the workroom was filled with
smoke
for a good half hour. It is easier and safer to work with smaller batches.
Now, dump all of this "smoke powder" into a coffee can, add some match
heads, moisten it with a little alcohol, and add gunpowder until all the
smoke powder is coated. Now tape a cigarette between the match heads in an
unopened
book. Imbed the book into the mixture.
Light the but, and walk casually away to find a
nice alibi within 5 minutes.
Notes:
You should be able to find some
Saltpeter in a local drug store.
All of the gunpowder, match heads, and alcohol is
simply to insure good
ignition. You can omit them, but if you have them, mix them in
for
reliability’s sake. For the fuse, you can either use the one listed, or
A quarter
pound of this stuff is supposed to fill a city block. I’m not
sure if that is
accurate, but it sure fills a public bathroom nicely.
Movie Technique:
Movies use a very simple method to create fog. They get a whole lot of
liquid
nitrogen (that really cold shit) and put it in buckets where they
want the fog. The
liguid nitrogen converts directly to a white fog-like
gas. You should be able to get
liquid nitrogen at any well stocked
chemistry lab in high school or college.
C & C Hellfire Mix:
This is one of the kewlest flammable mixtures
we know about. It is derived
from the fact that heated wax and gasoline will form a new
substance when
combined. We call this substance the C & C Hellfire Mix. We
originally
intended to use gun powder instead of the gas, but we’ve been too lasy to
get some gun powder. If you replace the gas with gun powder, please tell
us
how it works. C & C Hellfire Mix is basicly just highly flammable wax.
Ingredients:
Candle Wax
Gasoline
Microwave
Glass
Jar
Directions:
Put the candle wax in the jar. Heat the jar in the
microwave. It takes me
about 15 minutes to heat the wax to a liquid state in the
microwave. You
an use a flame to do it faster, but I find the microwave more
conenient.
Then, when the wax is in a liquid state, mix some gasoline in. The exact
ratio of gas to wax is up to you. Obviously, the more gas you put in, the
bigger fire you’ll get and the less easily it will harden. It depends on
what you want
to do with the Hellfire Mix. Well anyway, stir the mixture
after you add the gas. Then,
do whatever yer gonna do with it.
Substitutions for the gasoline:
We
assume C & C Hellfire Mix works with just about any flammable substance.
However,
we’ve only tried it with gas and rubber cement. If you try it with
other substances
please let us know. Most liquids should work just like
gas though. Rubber cement is one
of the more interesting combinations.
It creates a sticky flammble wax. However, it
doesn’t compare to gas for
flammability.
Uses for C & C Hellfire
Mix:
Wicks - make wicks with it. Get a string and make some Hellfire Mix. When
the mixture is still liquid, dip the string in. The string will become
coated
with the mixture. Only one or two dips though, it doesn’t work well
with more. For this
use, there should be a high gas to wax ratio.
Explosive Candles - Yes, you can make
candles out of C & C Hellfire Mix.
Give them to your favorite relatives as gifts.
Start out just like wicks,
but dip the string in a lot more. For this use, your gonna
need a tall
thin pot. This will allow you to keep the candle straight. You may need
to keep the mix warm so it doesn’t turn to a solid on you.
Sterno substitute
- C & C Hellfire Mix will even replace sterno. Take a
used sterno can (or some
other can) and pour the Hellfire Mix into it.
Then, let the mix cool. It should form a
solid substance. When you try
to light it, it may take a second but after that stand
back.
Molotov Cocktails - Can you replace the gasoline in Molotovs with C & C
Hellfire Mix? Well, sorta. It won’t explode as cool and it might cool to
a
solid before you throw it. And, it’s more expensive and harder to get
than gasoline.
But, if you want to make a Molotov with Hellfire Mix go
ahead. Just don’t blame us if
it sucks.
Pin the Rocket on the Moron:
On the lighter side,
here’s a fun little game for all of you to play.
Please rememeber, if you get hurt it
ain’t our fault. Okay, now that we
warned you here’s the game.
Object:
Shoot little rockets at a moron running around in a field (or forest or
swamp
or nuclear waste dump.) Whenever someone hits him, he loses.
Whenever he successfully
dodges a rocket, he wins. But, winning doesn’t
mean shit.
Materials:
1 metal pipe
1 lighter
lot of little rockets
Directions:
You can get about six little rockets from one firework if you buy the
right
one. Put the rockets in the pipe (which is on the aimer’s shoulder.) Then,
have the ignitor (the person behind the aimer) light the rockeet with the
lighter. It should come shooting out of the pipe.
Notes:
Yes believe it or
not, this game HAS been tested. Of course, the moron
running around in the field didn’t
really consent, but that doesn’t matter.
