How
to Make a Smoke Bomb
A white smoke
bomb can be made from sulfur, pottassium nitrate, black powder, aluminium
powder, iron oxide and carbon tetrachloride. It can be used either for
signaling or screening.
Materials
Required
Sulfur, Pottassium Nitrate, Black Powder, Aluminium Powder, Black Iron
Oxide, Carbon Tetrachloride, Improvised
White Flare Mix, Tablespoon , Wooden Stick, Newspaper, Quart Jar with
Lid, Window screen, 10inch Fuse, 2 and half inch by 5 inch tin can and
a lighter.
Procedure
Measure 3 level tablespoons of dried sulfur into the quart jar. Add 4
level tablespoons of dried pottassium nitrate to the sulfur. Add two heaping
tablespoons black iron oxide. Place all ingredients on the window screen.
Mix ingredients thouroughly by sieving them onto the newspaper, repeat
this 3 times. Pour the ingredients back into the jar. Screw the lid on
the jar tightly and mix the ingredients vigorously until even. Remove
the lid and add 10 heaped tablespoons of aluminium powder then mix thouroughly
with the wooden stick. Store in the jar with tightened lid until use.
Usage
Wet the ingredients in the jar to a paste consistency with Carbon Tetrachloride,
do this in a well ventilated area as the Carbon Tet will give off toxic
gases. Add a half cup of black powder to the paste and mix carefully with
wooden stick.
Measure one
heaped tablespoon of white flare mix onto a four inch square aluminium
foil. Knot one end of the fuse and place in the middle of the white flare
mix. Fold the corners of the foil tightly around the fuse.
Place the
white smoke bomb mix into the can. Place the fused white flare device
into the can just below the surface of the smoke bomb paste and ignite
the flare to deploy the smoke bomb.
