Though safe in its moist and cream state, an insect walking across a dry portion of it will set off a loud explosion. A pencil eraser sized piece would put the loudest fire cracker to shame, while a thimble full would rival a stick of Dynamite. This explosive is just as powerful as it is loud so treat it accordingly, especially when dry. Formula Here is the chemical formula for the above reaction: 4P+4KCIOthird = 2PsecondOfifth+2KCI+Osecond+E (ENERGY) Materials required for Manufacture * An Eyedropper * A small Prescription bottle * A sheet of NewsPaper * Amorphous Red PhosPhorus * A chemical Spatula * Potassium Chlorate Preparation Procedure Cut out a double piece (8x8) of newspaper and place it on a smooth surface. Pour a small amount of water on this paper mat, smearing it around thoroughly moisten the mat. Now , in one corner, place a pile of Amorphous Red Phosphorus; one part by weight and in the opposite corner place a pile of Potassium Chlorate; two parts by weight. Fill the eyedropper and put just enough water on each pile to moisten it. With the chemical spatula, mix each damp pile into an even paste. When each pile is smooth and free of lumps, scrape the two chemicals together, combining the white and purple pastes into a mixture of uniform color. The best results are obtained from a well mixed batch so be sure that you have done this part well. With mixing completed, scrape the wet explosive and put it into a small prescription bottle before snapping on the lid. Storing the explosive in this way will keep it from drying out, and its freshness will last for an extended period of time. Be sure to wash off the paper mat before disposing of it and the other equipment should be thoroughly washed and dried as well. You are now ready to use Fictional Impact Explosive; Here are some applications: Security Bomb Cut a newspaper into strips 1"x5" and place a glob of Frictional Impact Explosives near one end. Make an "S" shape as shown in Fig I. Embedded this double loop of string in the explosive as shown, and roll tightly, beginning at the end with the explosive. Secure the roll with cellophane tape and let it dry for a few hours. When dry, these bombs are detonated by grasping the ends of the three foot string which is now embedded in a dry explosive, and jerking them quickly. Pulling the string causes friction within the explosive, thus detonating the bomb. Smoke Screen Roll a small glob of Frictional Impact Explosives in Ammonium Chloride to form a semi-firm ball about 1/4" in diameter. Then cover the ball with a 1/8" layer, and let dry for an hour or so. To detonate, simply throw on to the floor or against a wall and a thick, heavy smoke screen is produced. One ball of the size described will easily fill a small room. Another interesting characteristic of this application is that the smoke produced affects humans in much the same way that tear gas does. One or two balls will clear out a room of people fast. These are very effective against dogs and thugs. Impact Grenades Grind some uncooked rice or tapioca(the easiest to grind) to use as a moisture absorbent in the following application. Obtain some gelatin capsules ( The kind medicine comes in) and fill the large half of the capsule with semi-moist frictional Impact Explosive. The smaller half should likewise be filled half full of the moisture absorbent then placed upon the larger half. When the two halves have been slid together, lick the joint to insure an air tight seal. These will be ready in 24 hours.(Enlarge portions for a more powerful explosion) Further Info Using the basic Principles described here you should very easily be able to create your own ideas for a better Frictional Impact Explosive use.
