@X083@X05.@X0853 @X03 CHEMICAL FIRE BOTTLE
@X08The chemical fire bottle is really an advanced molotov cocktail@X05.@X08 Rather
than using the burning cloth to ignite the flammable liquid@X05,@X08 which has at best
a fair chance of igniting the liquid@X05,@X08 the chemical fire bottle utilizes the very
hot and violent reaction between sulfuric acid and potassium chlorate@X05.@X08 When the
container breaks@X05,@X08 the sulfuric acid in the mixture of gasoline sprays onto the
paper soaked in potassium chlorate and sugar@X05.@X08 The paper@X05,@X08 when struck by the
acid@X05,@X08 instantly bursts into a white flame@X05,@X08 igniting the gasoline@X05.@X08 The chance
of failure to ignite the gasoline is less than 2@X05%@X08@X05,@X08 and can be reduced to 0@X05%@X08@X05,@X08 if
there is enough potassium chlorate and sugar to spare@X05.@X08

glass or plastic cup
and spoon
1@X05)@X08 Test the cap of the bottle with a few drops of sulfuric acid to make sure
that the acid will not eat away the bottle cap during storage@X05.@X08 If the
acid eats through it in 24 hours@X05,@X08 a new top must be found and tested@X05,@X08 until
a cap that the acid does not eat through is found@X05.@X08 A glass top is excellent@X05.@X08
2@X05)@X08 Carefully pour 8 oz@X05.@X08 of gasoline into the glass bottle@X05.@X08
3@X05)@X08 Carefully pour 4 oz@X05.@X08 of concentrated sulfuric acid into the glass bottle@X05.@X08
Wipe up any spills of acid on the sides of the bottle@X05,@X08 and screw the cap on
the bottle@X05.@X08 Wash the bottle@X05'@X08s outside with plenty of water@X05.@X08 Set it aside
to dry@X05.@X08
4@X05)@X08 Put about two teaspoons of potassium chlorate and about two teaspoons of
sugar into the glass or plastic cup@X05.@X08 Add about 1@X05/@X082 cup of boiling water@X05,@X08
or enough to dissolve all of the potassium chlorate and sugar@X05.@X08
5@X05)@X08 Place a sheet of paper towel in the cooking pan with raised edges@X05.@X08 Fold
the paper towel in half@X05,@X08 and pour the solution of dissolved potassium
chlorate and sugar on it until it is thoroughly wet@X05.@X08 Allow the towel to
dry@X05.@X08
6@X05)@X08 When it is dry@X05,@X08 put some glue on the outside of the glass bottle containing
the gasoline and sulfuric acid mixture@X05.@X08 Wrap the paper towel around the
bottle@X05,@X08 making sure that it sticks to it in all places@X05.@X08 Store the bottle
in a place where it will not be broken or tipped over@X05.@X08
7@X05)@X08 When finished@X05,@X08 the solution in the bottle should appear as two distinct
liquids@X05,@X08 a dark brownish@X05-@X08red solution on the bottom@X05,@X08 and a clear solution
on top@X05.@X08 The two solutions will not mix@X05.@X08 To use the chemical fire bottle@X05,@X08
simply throw it at any hard surface@X05.@X08
8@X05)@X08 NEVER OPEN THE BOTTLE@X05,@X08 SINCE SOME SULFURIC ACID MIGHT BE ON THE CAP@X05,@X08 WHICH
COULD TRICKLE DOWN THE SIDE OF THE BOTTLE AND IGNITE THE POTASSIUM CHLORATE@X05,@X08
CAUSING A FIRE AND@X05/@X08OR EXPLOSION@X05.@X08
9@X05)@X08 To test the device@X05,@X08 tear a small piece of the paper towel off the bottle@X05,@X08
and put a few drops of sulfuric acid on it@X05.@X08 The paper towel should
immediately burst into a white flame@X05.@X08
