Sodium Chlorate                                by the Jolly Roger 

     Sodium Chlorate is a strong oxidizer used in the manufacture of  
explosives. It can be used in place of Potassium Chlorate. 

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

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         

Procedure 
--------- 

1) Mix 1/2 cup of salt into the one gallon glass jar with 3 litres (3  
quarts) of water. 
2) Add 2 teaspoons of battery acid to the solution and stir vigorously  
for 5 minutes. 
3) Strip about 4 inches of insulation from both ends of the two wires. 
4) 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. 
5) Connect the rods to the battery in a motor vehicle with the insulated  
wire. 
6) Submerge 4-1/2 inches of the rods in the salt water solution. 
7) With gear in neutral position, start the vehicle engine. Depress the  
accelerator approx. 1/5 of its full travel. 
8) Run the engine with the accelerator in this position for 2 hours, then  
shut it down for 2 hours. 
9) 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!! 

10) Shut off the engine. Remove the rods from the glass jar and  
disconnect wire leads from the battery. 
11) Filter the solution through the heavy cloth into a flat pan or tray,  
leaving the sediment at the bottom of the glass jar. 
12) 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.
