Sulfuric acid Materials Required How Used Source Storage batteries Material processing Motor vehicles Industrial plants Gasoline Motor fuel Gas station or motor vehicles Potassium chlorate Medicine Drug store Sugar Glass bottle with stopper (roughly 1 quart size) Small bottle or jar with lid Rag or absorbent paper (paper towels, newspaper) String or rubber bands Sweetening foods Food store Procedure 1. Sulfuric acid must be concentrated. If battery acid or other dilute acid is used, concentrate it by boiling until dense white fumes are given off. Container used should be of enamelware or oven glass. Caution: Sulfuric acid will burn skin and destroy clothing. If any is spilled, wash it away with a large quantity of water. Fumes are also dangerous and should not be inhaled.
2. Remove the acid from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. 3. Pour gasoline into the large (1 quart) bottle until it is approximately 2/3 full. 4. Add concentrated sulfuric acid to gasoline slowly until the bottle is filled to within 1 inch to 2 inches from top. Place the stopper on the bottle. 5. Wash the outside of the bottle thoroughly with clear water. Caution: If this is not done, the fire bottle may be dangerous to handle during use. 6. Wrap a clean cloth or several sheets of absorbent paper around the outside of the bottle. Tie with string or fasten with rubber bands. 7. Dissolve 1/2 cup (100 grams) of potassium chlorate and 1/2 cup (100 grams) of sugar in one cup (250 milliliters) of boiling water. 8. Allow the solution to cool, pour into the small bottle and cap tightly. The cooled solution should be approximately 2/3 crystals and 1/3 liquid. If there is more liquid than this, pour off excess before using. Caution: Store this bottle separately from the other bottle. How to Use 1. Shake the small bottle to mix contents and pour onto the cloth or paper around the large bottle. Bottle can be used wet or after solution has dried. However, when dry, the sugar – potassium chlorate mixture in very sensitive to spark or flame and should be handled accordingly. 2. Throw or launch the bottle. When the bottle breaks against a hard surface (target) the fuel will ignite.
