One of the most easily made and powerful explosives are Potassium Chlorate. It can be easily made in the “safety” of one’s home. You will need the following:

Materials: • Weight Scale
• Pyrex
• Hot plate (or some kind of heat source)
• Hydrometer

Ingredients:
• Potassium Chloride
• Bleach

Sources of Potassium Chloride:
• It is sold as a salt substitute almost everywhere

Procedure:


1. First, you need to boil 1 gallon of bleach. Weight out 63 grams of potassium chloride and add it to the bleach. Check the solution with your hydrometer until you get a charge of 1.3, if your using a battery hydrometer than you will get a reading of FULL.

2. Let solution cool in your refrigerator until it cools down between room temperature and 32ø Fahrenheit. Now you will see small crystals, filter them out, save them. Boil them again, and filter out the crystals and save them.

3. Now mix your remaining crystals with distilled water in a ration of 56 grams per 100 milliliters of distilled water. Heat this until it boils. Allow to cool. Filter and save the crystals. This should be pure potassium chlorate.

Potassium Chlorate is a powerful oxidizer and is a prime ingredient in a number of explosive recipes. It is also used to make plastic explosives. Potassium Chloride can be found by the spices in grocery stores.
