For more peaceful purposes, napalm can be used in animal traps and to focus a burn on a given area for a prolonged period of time for instance, to kill certain crops by burning off their seeds. It can even be used as a cutting device in a survival situation.
There are several different types of modern-day Napalm mixtures, including Napalm-B, the more modern version of napalm. Homemade napalm can be made as follows:. Engine oil can be added to to the mixture to reduce slow the burn time of the substance.
In other words, the substance is very dangerous — handle with care the heat from this napalm is so hot, if you burn it on an asphalt street, it will leave a hole in the street surface.

Jacob Lindsey May 25, Napalm-B It is also known as super-napalm or Oil-based Napalm with polymeric thickener.
Homemade Napalm can be made using the following procedures; Using an enormous container, fill it about halfway with gasoline. Diesel works best. Break the special soap, Styrofoam polystyrene , plate into small pieces. Styrofoam pieces are added to the gasoline, and then you stir. Gasoline will dissolve the Styrofoam into a jelly-like mixture. Pour out excess gasoline leaving behind the white, jelly-like solution. The white sticky substance is Napalm, and when ignited, it will burn for some minutes.
To reduce the burn time of the substance or make it slow, you add engine oil. Napalm was perceived as a highly efficient inflammable weapon because of the following reasons; It can increase the likelihood of setting up fire to materials that are not flammable in the enemy target area. It is dependent on other things to ignite it and can therefore easily be controlled compared to other incendiary agents. Properties Of Napalm It appears as a thick jelly or flammable liquid, depending on its composition.
Gasoline is more explosive than Napalm. However, when it catches fire, it is tough to extinguish. It is highly flammable and has a strong petroleum odor. It is insoluble in most soluble polar solvents and in water but forms a fine suspension with most hydrocarbon liquids. Napalm gives many combustion gases during combustion and carbon monoxide and soot, and a lot of heat. Carbon monoxide is highly toxic. It generates temperatures of about o F to o F, which is by far that of water at o F.
Napalm Effects On The Environment Napalm can cause death by asphyxiation or burns, which is a deficiency in the supply of oxygen. The effect occurs when it combusts with oxygen in the air, producing carbon dioxide then again continuously burning it to carbon monoxide. Its raw ingredients are relatively harmful. Polystyrene burns in high temperatures to become highly toxic styrene. Air raids using it releases a single bomb capable of destroying a large land area by burning at temperatures of to degrees Fahrenheit.
Although its early uses were for agriculture, it has proved to be destructive to the environment. In the U. Burning it at high temperatures releases toxic chemicals to the environment, making it hard for people in the surrounding region to breathe. The long-term effect of this is long-term lung-related illnesses.
Three, you can dissolve crumbled cat litter in gasoline until the mixture is thick. The napalm is originally called napalm because is mixture of na phthenic acid and palm itic acid. This makes me very skeptic about it being created by gasoline and juice.
Also I see no reason for it to be frozen. The only thing that sounds realistic to achieve the sticky effect is the use of cat litter - but you could as well just use dry dirt, couldn't you? And dirt doesn't really burn so you're weakening the burning effect. Well, Ed Norton changed one ingredient in every one to make them useless. So, that really pissed me off because I really research those really well. Actually its styrofoam and gasoline - it make the most incredible explosive.
So no, Fight Club does not accurately convey any of the recipes. All were clearly modified. And most likely for safety reasons - i. Napalm-B contains benzene which is a known carcinogen. If you really want to store napalm, do it in metal containers, away from any sources of ignition, preferably in a bucket with sand, in the event of a fire. Since the the common form gives off petroleum odor, the bottle should be sealed.
Burning napalm or its wastes releases large amounts of toxic fumes and should only be done in incinerators with afterburners, or in a remote location. Jump to: navigation , search.
