Solidox Bombs                                   by The Jolly Roger 

Most people are not aware that a volatile, extremely explosive  
chemical can be bought over the counter:  Solidox. 

Solidox comes in an aluminum can containing 6 grey sticks, and can  
be bought at Kmart, and various hardware supply shops for around  
$7.00.  Solidox is used in welding applications as an oxidizing  
agent for the hot flame needed to melt metal.  The most active  
ingredient in Solidox is potassium chlorate, a filler used in many  
military applications in the WWII era. 

Since Solidox is literally what the name says:  SOLID OXygen, you  
must have an energy source for an explosion.  The most common and  
readily available energy source is common household sugar, or  
sucrose.  In theory, glucose would be the purest energy source,  
but it is hard to find a solid supply of glucose. 

Making the mixture: 

[1]  Open the can of Solidox, and remove all 6 sticks.  One by  
     one, grind up each of the sticks (preferably with a mortar  
     and pestle) into the finest powder possible. 
[2]  The ratio for mixing the sugar with the Solidox is 1:1, so  
     weigh the Solidox powder, and grind up the equivalent amount  
     of sugar. 
[3]  Mix equivalent amounts of Solidox powder, and sugar in a 1:1  
     ratio. 

It is just that simple!  You now have an extremely powerful  
substance that can be used in a variety of applications.  A word  
of caution:  be EXTREMELY careful in the entire process.  Avoid  
friction, heat, and flame.  A few years back, a teenager I knew  
blew 4 fingers off while trying to make a pipe bomb with Solidox.   
You have been warned!
