Sodium Chlorate
by the Jolly Roger
Sodium Chlorate is similar to potassium chlorate,and in most cases can be a substitute. Sodium chlorate is also more soluble in water. You can find sodium chlorate at Channel or any hardware/home improvement store. It is used in blowtorches and you can get about 3lbs for about $6.00.
Material Required Sources
----------------- -------
2 carbon or lead rods (1 in. diameter Dry Cell Batteries
by 5 in. long) (2-1/2 in. diameter by
7" long) or plumbing
supply store
Salt, or ocean water Grocery store or ocean
Sulfuric acid, diluted Motor Vehicle Batteries
Motor Vehicle
Water
2 wires, 16 gauge (3/64 in. diameter approx.), 6 ft. long, insulated.
Gasoline
1 gallon glass jar, wide mouth (5 in. diameter by 6 in. high approx.)
Sticks
String
Teaspoon
Trays
Cup
Heavy cloth
Knife
Large flat pan or tray
-
Mix 1/2 cup of salt into the one gallon glass jar with 3 litres (3 quarts) of water.
-
Add 2 teaspoons of battery acid to the solution and stir vigorously for 5 minutes.
-
Strip about 4 inches of insulation from both ends of the two wires.
-
With knife and sticks, shape 2 strips of wood 1 by 1/8 by 1-1/2. Tie the wood strips to the lead or carbon rods so that they are 1-1/2 incles apart.
-
Connect the rods to the battery in a motor vehicle with the insulated wire.
-
Submerge 4-1/2 inches of the rods in the salt water solution.
-
With gear in neutral position, start the vehicle engine. Depress the accelerator approx. 1/5 of its full travel.
-
Run the engine with the accelerator in this position for 2 hours, then shut it down for 2 hours.
-
Repeat this cycle for a total of 64 hours while maintaining the level of the acid-salt water solution in the glass jar.
- CAUTION: This arrangement employs voltages which can be quite dangerous! Do not touch bare wire leads while engine is running!!
-
Shut off the engine. Remove the rods from the glass jar and disconnect wire leads from the battery.
-
Filter the solution through the heavy cloth into a flat pan or tray, leaving the sediment at the bottom of the glass jar.
-
Allow the water in the filtered solution to evaporate at room temperature (approx. 16 hours). The residue is approximately 60% or more sodium chlorate which is pure enough to be used as an explosive ingredient.
-------Exodus------ CBIV, '94
65% sodium chlorate, 22% charcoal, 13% sulfur, sprinkle some graphite on top.
6 parts sodium chlorate mixed THOROUGHLY with 5 parts rubber cement.
50% sodium chlorate, 35% rubber cement ('One-Coat' brand), 10% epoxy resin hardener, 5% sulfur
You may want to add more sodium chlorate depending on the purity you are using.
55% aluminum powder (atomized), 45% sodium chlorate, 5% sulfur
50% red phosphorus, 50% sodium chlorate
Unlike potassium chlorate,sodium chlorate won't explode spontaneously when mix- ed with phosphorus. It has to be hit to be detonated.
