The last three chapters have dealt mostly with explosives and related
|
|
items. While it may seem that Incendiaries are kind of basic and do not
|
|
require too much discussion, they deserve mention here for a number of
|
|
reasons. Explosives are an extension od incendiares; they are compounds that
|
|
consume themselves so fast and release their energy so quickly that their
|
|
effect is said to be explosive. Incendiary compounds can conatin just as much
|
|
energy as explosive compounds, they just release it slower. Incendiaries can
|
|
be used to do many things explosives cannot, such as welding and burning holes.
|
|
Pound for pound, Incendiaries are usually more effective than explosives. This
|
|
unique category of mixtures and compounds, then, has many uses.

Preparation of Thermite
|
|
|
|
Materials:
|
|
|
|
(1) Cup or large spoon for measuring
|
|
(1) 1 Lb Aluminum Powder (Not coarser than a rough powder)
|
|
(1) 1 Lb Iron Oxide Flakes (Fe3O4, Black Iron Oxide)
|
|
(1) Jar or can with tight lid
|
|
(1) Cardboard can w/metal ends (i.e. Comet, Ajax)
|
|
|
|
Procedure:
|
|
|
|
1. Place Three (3) parts by volume of Iron Oxide and Two (2)
|
|
parts Aluminum Powder into the jar.
|
|
|
|
2. Screw the lid on the jar aqnd roll/shake it until the powders
|
|
are mixed completely. The mixture is now ready for use, and may
|
|
be stored indefinately in the sealed container.
|
|
|
|
Thermite can be used to weld or burn holes in anything metallic. It burns
|
|
with an intense, white-hot flame and cannot be extinguished until totally
|
|
consumed. It is somewhat difficult to ignite, as a regular match is not
|
|
nearly hot enough. It is recommended that the Thermite Ignitor mixture
|
|
below be used. Failing that, a 4-6" piece of Magnesium ribbon *can* ignite
|
|
it, though it usually takes several tries and may not always work.
|
|
For burning holes in metal plates and other structures, the following
|
|
technique works well. Take a cardboard can with metal ends (Comet, Ajax) and
|
|
cut it into two section of equal length. Tape the metal ends together, to
|
|
form an hourglass-like container. Trim the bottom section to 2" and cut two
|
|
3/4" notches. Fill the top tube section to 2/3 with thermite, and fill the
|
|
remainder with the ignitor mixes described below. Prime with a fuse or other
|
|
device. When ignited, this mixture burns extremely fast, and produces a
|
|
white hot slag and showers of burning sparks. The device just described will
|
|
penetrate 3/8" of structural steel.

|
For welding metal parts together, the above device, without the bottom
|
|
tube secion, is placed directly against the target surfaces and ignited. The
|
|
molten slag produced can melt and weld just about any metal surface.
|
|
Thermite, while relatively safe to store and handle, burns with
|
|
incredible intensity and produces showers of burning metal flakes, with
|
|
lots of hot gas as a by-product. The white-hot flame can also be very
|
|
painful to look at, and may damage the eyes. Extreme caution is advised in
|
|
experimenting with it.

SubIgnitor for Thermite
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This incendiary is used for directly igniting Thermite. It burns with
|
|
intense heat and violence. It can be ignited with the Sugar/Chlorate mixture
|
|
described below.
|
|
|
|
Materials:
|
|
|
|
(1) Jar or other container with tight fitting lid
|
|
(1) Spoon or scoop
|
|
|
|
(1) Aluminum or Magnesium powder (No coarser than table sugar)
|
|
(1) Any one of the following Oxidizers:
|
|
|
|
-Potassium Nitrate
|
|
-Potassium Permanganate
|
|
-Sodium Dichromate
|
|
-Potassium Dichromate
|
|
|
|
Procedure:
|
|
|
|
1. With a clean spoon or other scoop, place equal quantities
|
|
(1:1 ratio) of metal and oxidizer in the jar.
|
|
|
|
2. Place the lid on the container and roll until the powders are
|
|
completely mixed. The mixture may now be stored indefinately.
|

Sugar/ Chlorate Ignitor
|
|
|
|
This mixture is used to ignite the SubIgnitor for Thermite seen above. It
|
|
can be ignited with a simple fuse. It also ignites spontaneously on contact
|
|
with Sulfuric Acid.
|
|
|
|
Materials:
|
|
|
|
(1) Spoon (Non-Metallic)
|
|
(1) Jar or Container with tight-fitting lid
|
|
(1) Potassium Chlorate
|
|
(1) Granulated Sugar (Not Powdered sugar!)
|
|
|
|
Procedure:
|
|
|
|
1. Using the non-metallic spoon, place an equal quantity of Sugar
|
|
and Potassium Chlorate in the container.
|
|
|
|
2. Tighten the lidon the jar and slowly roll it until the poders are
|
|
mixed.
|
|
***Warning! Be sure to remove any mixture clinging to mouth
|
|
of jar before tightening lid. Handle with care, as this mixture is
|
|
sensitive to shock and friction.***
|
|
|
|
The mixture is now ready, and can be stored indefinately. Care should
|
|
be taken in its handling, as this mixture can be ignited easily.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When used as suggested, thermite is a very powerful item. As with any other
|
|
project, one should use the best materials available, and make sure all tools
|
|
and items used are clean. When working with incendiares it is also a good idea
|
|
to have a working CO2 or Dry Chemical fire extinguisher on hand. While
|
|
Thermite and the ignitors cannot be put out, a fire extinguisher can at least
|
|
stop a secondary fire. The Sugar Chlorate mixture is the only one that is
|
|
sensitive to shock and rough handling, and should be treated accordingly.
|
|
Have fun, use this information well and stay out of trouble.
