Section V, No. 5
ACID DELAY
INCENDIARY
This device will ignite automatically after a given time
delay.
MATERIAL REQUIRED:
—————–
Small jar with cap
Cardboard
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 enamelware or oven glass. When dense
white fumes
begin to appear, immediately remove the acid form heat and allow to
cool
to room temperature.
*** 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 sugar in two parts by volume of boiling
water.
3. Allow the solution to cool. When crystals settle, pour off and
discard
the liquid.
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 the jar.
8. Partly fill jar with water,
cover with rubber disc and cap
tightly with the drilled lid. Invert bottle and allow to stand
for
a few minutes to make sure that 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 may be
dangerous to handle during use.
HOW TO USE:
———-
1. Place the
tube containing the Sugar Chlorate crystals on an
incendiary or flammable 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 sugar chlorate mix. The delay time depends upon
the thickness and type of
rubber used for the disc. Before using
this device, tests should be conducted to determine
the delay time
that can be expected.
NOTE: A piece of standard automobile inner
tube (About 1/32" thick)
will provide a delay time of approximately 45 minutes.

IMPROVISED WHITE FLARE
An improvised white
flare can be made from potassium
nitrate, aluminum powder and 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 and forth against the screen mesh with the wooden
block
until the nitrate is granulated into a powder.
2. Measure 21 tablespoons of the
powdered nitrate into a quart jar.
Add 21 tablespoons of the aluminum powder to the
nitrate.
3. Place lid on the jar and shake ingredients vigorously until well
mixed.
4. Add 12 tablespoons of shellac to the mixture and stir with the
wooden
rod. Store 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 with 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 longer then three weeks.

No. 7
IMPROVISED IRON OXIDE
Iron Oxide can be made from steel wool. It is
used in the
preparation of improvised Yellow Flare, Improvised White Smoke
Munition
and Improvised Black Smoke Munition.
MATERIAL REQUIRED: SOURCE:

2. Place the pipe on
a level, nonflammable surface. Steady the
pipe, using wooden blocks if necessary.
cleaner, force 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
adding to the flame a single handful of fluffed wool at
a time until a sufficient amount 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 granules 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.
