_________SWAT MAGAZINE ISSUE TWENTY SIX FEBRUARY 2000 __________ / \___________________________________________/ \ / Car Bomb Grade II \ / by -=The Firestarter=- \ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh well back to the twisted and devious means of blowing stuff up! yes i know that it's been a while since i wrote a quality article on the dark art of pyrotechnics, ok the reason for this is that i've been mostly workng on my hacking skills rather than blowing stuff up :o) But just to let you all know that i'm still in the habit of creating wonderful devices that go b00m i have come up with this wonderful device! The dreaded Car Bomb Grade II Ok the reason for the Grade II added to the end is because i have all ready covered car bombs, but i came up with this more powerful and more devistating device. *Note* For the first time in SWAT Magazine i will be dealing with high explosives. Materials needed. Lo-Sal (get it from Tesco in the salt section) Vasaline camping Stove fuel (white gasoline) Domestos (or any other bleach) Tobacco Tin Nail Frige magnet Lead shot or a ball baring Bic Biro Electrical wire Pins Wax Hydrometer 9v battery Bulb igniter (see past issues of SWAT Mag) Ok so have you acquired all of those materials? the total cost of it all will be under a tenner and can be purchased from just about anywhere! Ok first off we'll manufacture the explosive, this is the same process outlined in the Anarchists Cookbook that turns ordinary salt substitute into high explosive. Ok what this involves is heating the bleach with the salt in it, now be warned that this releases chlorine gas, so i recommend that you carry out this procedure in a well ventilated area, anyway, here is the extract from the Anarchists Cookbook: Take one gallon of bleach place it in the container and begin heating it. While this solution heats weigh out 63 grams of potassium chloride and add this to the bleach being heated. Constantly check the solution being heated with the hydrometer and boil until you get a reading of 1.3. If using a battery hydrometer boil until you read a FULL charge. Take the solution and allow it to cool in a refrigerator until it is between room temperature and 0 degrees Celsius. Filter out the crystals that have formed and save them. Boil this solution again and cool as before. Filter and save the crystals. Take the crystals that have been saved and mix them with distilled water in the following proportions: 56 grams per 100 milliliters distilled water. Heat this solution until it boils and allow to cool. Filter the solution and save the crystals that form upon cooling. This process of purification is called "fractional crystallization". These crystals should be relatively pure potassium chlorate. Powder these to the consistency of face powder and heat gently to drive off all moisture. Now melt five parts Vaseline with five parts wax. Dissolve this in white gasoline (camp stove gasoline) and pour this liquid on 90 parts potassium chlorate (the powdered crystals from above) into a plastic bowl. Knead this liquid into the potassium chlorate until intimately mixed. Allow all gasoline to evaporate. Finally place this explosive into a cool dry place. Avoid friction sulfur sulfides and phosphorous compounds. This explosive is best molded to the desired shape and density of 1.3 grams in a cube and dipped in wax until water proof. These block type charges guarantee the highest detonation velocity. Also a blasting cap of at least a 3 grade must be used. The presence of the afore- mentioned compounds (sulfur sulfides etc.) results in mixtures that are or can become highly sensitive and will possibly decompose explosively while in storage. You should never store homemade explosives and you must use EXTREME caution at all times while performing the processes in this article. Right ok have you all got that? good. Now you should have the explosive mixture for this device. Now make a hole in the side of the tobacco tin, just a small hole is needed for this, if it's too big then the chances of everything falling out are quite high. Now press as many ball barrings into the explosive mixture as you can, try to cover the entire outside of the explosive as you can with them, once this is done carefully pack it into the tin. Now to make the ignition device. Ok these take a while to get right, but it is vital that it works. Take the biro tube and put a small blob of wax in one end of it, before it sets, push two VERY thin pins though it, make sure that they are not touching and there is a reasonably small gap between then, they also MUST NOT move in the slightest, i.e. they have to be pretty solid. It should look like this: # = wax ________________ _|#_____ <- Pin 1 |# _|#_____ <- Pin 2 |_______________ <- Biro tube You get the idea, anway, now pop a ball baring into the tube and make sure that it can slide freely up and down, if it can make the two terminals touch then it's fine and it works, if not, then use another slightly larger ball baring. Once you have it made, seal the other end with some tape. Oh yeah you can use mercury for these if you have any, you can also by pre-made ones from Maplins - mercury tilt switches - a tad expensive for what you get tho. Ok now wire up one terminal of the bulb ignitor to the battery and the other to the tilt swtich, leave the other wire free but be sure that it cannot compleat the circuit, coz if it does then it'll blow you sky high. Now glue or tape the magnet to the tin, we're almost done now. Ok if this little device it attached to the fuel tank of a car and then a wire run from the battery of the bomb (the battery is normally taped to the side of the tin) and to the tilt switch (which is usually on a slight angle - again taped to the side of the tin). Once the car starts up and hits a slight angle, the ball barring slides down to compleat the circuit, the explosive goes off, ball barrings rip everything apart, including the underside of the car thus blasting the fuel tank - the fuel ignites adding to the blast and everything around it is wasted. loverly :o)
