Napalm

Ok so you have probably seen the YouTube videos of people making basic napalm from styrofoam and gasoline. This really does work.

Basic Napalm 

All you need for a simple napalm is 

  • Gasoline
  • Bucket
  • Styrofoam
  • BBQ lighter
just put the styrofoam in the bucket of gasoline and wait a few hours, it will dissolve and make a sticky grey paste, put it in a glass jar to store it. if it drys out just add a little gas to it.
Make sure you don't light it when its stuck to you. Best to wear surgical gloves. Its a bitch to clean off your fingers.

Now for REAL napalm

The REAL NAPALM synthesis : 
25 grams of cocoanut oil fatty acids ( = Lauric acid ), 12.5 grams of naphthenic acid and 12.5 grams of oleic acid were melted together and added to 1000 cc ( = 1000 ml ) of water containing 11.5 grams of 95% powdered sodium hydroxide . The solution is heated to 150 °F ( = 66 °C ) and stirred for ten minutes. 5 grams of activated carbon are added and the stirring continue for five minutes. The solution is then filtered and the clear filtrate is cooled to room temperature. 10 grams of a diatomaceous earth sold under the trade name “ Celite ” are added to the cooled, clear filtrate. 37 grams of Al2(SO4)318H2O ( = Aluminum sulfate octadecahydrate ) are dissolved in 100 cc ( = 100 ml ) of water and then slowly added to the clear filtrate containing the “ Celite ” . A Napalm Celite mixture precipitate. This mixture is filtered and transferred to a beaker with clean water and 5 grams more of Celite added with stirring. 
The mixture is filtered and the filtered cake washed and dried in an oven at 50 °C. 
The final product is now obtained : the powdered Napalm Celite mixture, ready to use ! 
The dried product obtained is very fine and broke up easily into a fine , uniform, light powder. This fine powdery Napalm Celite mixture proved very excellent for the gelling of gasoline. Conventional amounts will gel aviation gasoline in 23 seconds at 70 °F ( = 21 °C ) and five minutes and 55 seconds at 32 °F ( = 0 °C ) 
No additive such xylenol is needed to aid in the gelling
