How to make a smoke bomb yourself

What is needed and where to use the smoke bomb is known to everyone. Why you need it specifically for you is your own business, but I want to warn you that making such pyrotechnics is not safe. Before undertaking it, all possible consequences (from the bad smell in the house before the fire) should be clearly presented and all possible safety measures taken.

In this article, I'll talk about how to make a smoke bomb, and try to describe the simplest methods I know of.

Method one - "smoke" from the line

This method, due to its simplicity and availability of components, was very popular among schoolchildren in the 80s of last century. At that time celluloid was often used to make toys, school supplies and simple measuring instruments (pencil cases, rulers, nest dolls). Having a thing of celluloid available, any schoolboy knew how to make a smoke bomb at home. To do this, it was only necessary to wrap the pieces of this material in paper and the "smoke pipe" was ready - ignited, immediately blowing off the flames and enjoying the clubs of dense white smoke.

The second way is a newspaper soaked in saltpetre.

To make such a checker, you need the following components: saltpeter, sugar, water and a pack of old newspapers. Saltpeter as a fertilizer is sold in any horticultural store, and it is easy to acquire it. It can be of two types: ammonium and potassium. For "smoke" is more suitable ammonium, in addition, it is more common.

We choose a container in which it will be convenient to soak the newspapers, and fill it with water. Completely dissolve in water saltpeter at the rate of three parts of saltpeter into seven parts of water. Then take the sugar in the amount of half of the used saltpeter and also add it to the solution. (Note: sugar is not necessary to apply, but according to my observations, with it the sword burns faster and gives much more smoke).

In the resulting solution, soak the newspapers and put them to dry (do not dry under direct sunlight). When the newspapers dry out, you need to twist them into a tight roll and pack an aluminum beer can, which has previously cut off the top and bottom. Uttambovav roll, you need to bend the edges of the can, so that on both sides there are holes with a diameter of 3-5 cm. All. We insert a wick, folded from the same newspaper, set on fire, throw it away. In no case should you use this checker in the room - it can easily cause a fire.

The third way is for the hardworking

Ingredients for this smoke bomb are used the same as those described in the previous method, well, except that water will need soda. The essence of the option, how to make a smoke bomb, is that saltpeter needs to be melted with sugar. This is done in a metal container on low heat with continuous stirring to prevent adherence to the walls of the dishes. After the composition turns into a homogeneous vitreous mass of brown color, it should be added with soda (do not forget to continuously interfere with the composition). The resulting mass cool to a temperature of 35-40 degrees and is pressed into a matchbox or other shell. In the center a pencil hole is squeezed out under the wick, and the ready "smoke" is left for final cooling (it is possible in the freezer). All. We put it on the ground, set fire to it and run away !.

How to make a smoke bomb without saltpeter - the fourth way

We buy analgin and hydroperite in the pharmacy , we grind them into powder. We fall asleep in a box or just in foil, heat a match and run away from the smoke clubs! Doing "smoke" in this way, you should remember that the reaction will go even at a temperature of 36 degrees, that is, it is not worth warming in the hands of this mixture. If you feel that the box or the can with the composition began to heat up, immediately throw it.
