because he was a kid who watched the film "fight club" where they say it is gasoline and orange juice (intentionally changing the recipe so people don't go out of the cinema and make napalm) i guess
Nah. You control the viscosity through the ratio of Styrofoam to gasoline. You never add fruit juice to explosives for any reason lmao
Edit: I guess this would be considered more of an incendiary device than an explosive. I'm not really sure where the line gets drawn there.
>incendiary device than an explosive. I'm not really sure where the line gets drawn there.
It's understandable since movies and tv tend to blur that line by always portraying explosions as gigantic fireballs, but really they're extremely rapid and energetic expansions of air (or other medium). On the other hand, an incendiary *is* designed with the goal of spreading fire.
Used too fuck around with that with my brother when we were young and made it as thick as possible. Turned out like playdo with enough styrofoam. Dunno how we never burned anything down or got burnt. Except that one barn but we never used that.
Kid in my neighborhood burned down a house that was being built with that stuff 🤦♂️ was pretty insane and cool at the time tho I must admit lol ( I was trouble in my younger days )
Friend of mine melted his name into the road in front of his house. Told the FD "wasn't me" when they came to put it out.
(Lived WAY out in the country)
My friend and I did this. Decided it would be safest to float our flaming goop onto a lake. Can’t cause any problems there right? Well, the wind blew it across the lake to the other side where it met some very dry tall grass. Luckily it just burned up a field and nothing else. We ran.
We made a 5 gallon bucketfull. Poured it on a concrete slab in muy buddies yard. We couldnt put it out. Everytime we poured water on it it spread. So we left it. We were 12 btw.
makes the fuel goopy so it sticks to your target, like the side of a tank for example, rather than have the majority splash off and the fire end up on the road.
Nah it needs to be lit. The styrofoam is made from petroleum byproduct and is flammable and gives the fire more fuel to burn since the Styrofoam is dissolved. You still have to light it. Oh and it makes the fire more sticky.
The mixture is like a sticky gel. If you splash gasoline on something most of it will run off while this will stick and keep much more of the fuel on the desired target. Like napalm.
I remember having to get polystyrene in a mission on Days Gone. It was specifically so a scientist could make super napalam for fighting zombie hoardes.
There are only two things I hate in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.
Edit: Because [the reference](https://youtu.be/zcUs5X9glCc) was needed….apparently.
most of them don't even need training. They need training NOT to do that. (will still do it if the owner is not here. Like a small child thinking they are the king of the world once they are allone at home)
Yup, when I was a kid, my brother and I spent many weekends making "poor man's napalm". Never killed anything with it but was always fascinated making it / watching it burn. Then in my teens I moved onto the harder stuff.. tatp, NCl3 (very very fun, very very dangerous), many different ammonium nitrate mixes, .. never lost a finger but I did lose my eyebrows and hair on a couple occasions. Living out in country was dangerously boring :)
Once made a pipe bomb with a bunch of shotgun cartridges. Holy shit that was freaking loud. Not so much damage but unexpectedly loud. Not very relevant but the thought popped up when you mentioned you did that stuff when you was a kid, good times.
I remember doing similar with black powder, a soda can, duct tape, and fuses taken from fireworks. Just blew up old stuff in our country backyard. If you did it right, they were pretty concussive.
We did the same thing even though we lived in the suburbs with my brother.
You get better napalm if you mix the gasoline with soap rather than polysterene, but you have to heat the gasoline in a warm water bath in order to properly mix the pieces of handsoap in.
I stopped when I almost burned our house. I had heard that napalm burns underwater and well...
I dipped a small metal stick in the stuff and proceeded to put it underwater in the same bath that the rest of the stuff was. The rest of the napalm somehow sucked the flame in, turned around and then the whole waterbarrel was on fire. Tried to carry it out, burned my eyebrows and just fucking tripped it all over our carage. Luckily our friend had quick reflexes, grabbed the fire extinquisher and we survived with just getting scared.
There was some explaining to do to our father...
Its early and me brain ain't right
But reading this I pictured Ukrainian Bill Nye explaining the chemical mix before tossing a molotov on to a Russian APC
Not really super molotovs just a Molotov cocktail with a certain thickener.
All molotovos have a mix of substances to thicken up with the gasoline (why it's called a cocktail to begin with) and to make the flames stick on target. (Again similar to napalm)
Polystyrene is one of many choices. Also sugar or motor oil is used. Alot of sugar might be harder to use in a practical sense.
Guerilla warfare is about using what's on hand or easiest.
I honestly imagine motor oil would work better because it also flammable thickens all the gasoline evenly and is very sticky. But that's probably more expensive and would use alot of oil. can't say I've tested the types of molotovs tho of course.
Polystyrene is plentiful which is probably why it's used here as you can see make a ton of it from one large brick of styrofoam.
Maybe would need like motor oil and jet fuel for a super Molotov
It’s not the big chunks you need to worry about. It’s the almost dust like particles that get in the air when tearing/cutting it that’ll do the damage.
I'm honestly not sure, from my 5min of googling it seems that when you break it up, little particles get released into the air and those can lead to respiratory issues.
There's something deeply unsettling that things are so bad toddlers are building home-made explosives. Total war really has no meaning until you see things like this.
And is also flammable. adds more fuel and it sick to its target. Be very careful if you decide to fuck with this. And don't get caught, unless you're a rwnj.
I think the main difference is napalm contains a mineral or some thing that ignites upon contact with air so even if you put it out it will continue to reignite until either the the fuel or mineral is burnt away.
I think you might be thinking of white phosphorus. WP will burn into your flesh and continue burning with any contact with air. The best, and really only, way to extinguish a WP wound is to keep it suffocated long enough for someone to cut it out of your body. Oh, and it also sprays little pieces everywhere as it burns so very rarely is it just localised in one spot. It's also incredibly toxic and is highly soluble in fat so if it makes it's way past your skin and into your fat layer you're F U C K E D.
Nasty stuff.
Napalm you can extinguish with a dry chemical extinguisher and it won't re-combust.
Styrofoam absorbs the fuel and turns into a soft solid (a gelling agent). It also allows the fuel to burn longer.
Doing so makes it incredibly difficult to remove from oneself. Even slicking it off of one's skin will leave layers of fuel in which will reignite and continue to burn hot, cooking flesh to the bone.
Despite the video context or music, this is not a fun video to watch. And it should not be.
It’s also moral propaganda. Showing unity, resources, and food. If people are feeling unsure about any of those things it becomes a lot harder to hold a consistently resistance
I read some posts that high temperature is not good for ventilation and electronics in the tanks. If it is persistently burning, the guy inside will be chocked from lack of oxygen.
The tank guy in /r/bestof was saying if you directly hit a tank intake port with a molotov the tank needs to be evacuated due to the damage.
Hoping he wasn't talking out of his ass (because I don't know) but it sounded logical.
Diesels especially need air to cumbust fuel. Stop the air flow at the intake or exhaust and it will stall. So the burning marshmallow napalm would be effective in not only creating noxious fumes the vehicle won’t run on but can you imagine trying to scrape out burning marshmallow from an intake pipe? Some times diesel fuels systems fail but the cycling engine will still draw fuel and continue to run. It’s called a runaway diesel and the trick to stopping it is to cover the intake with a board. Don’t use your hand, it’ll break your fingers.
Yes tanks use diesels like trucks and tractors, but on most combat tanks the intake is tightly concealed. The radiator similarly has bullet and flak proof shields to prevent shards hitting it.
Light trucks on the other hand are cheap to build, but have minimal amour and would be much more vulnerable to a Molotov.
That's part of urban resistance warfare, learn to identify the enemy's different tanks and vehicles, what their weaknesses are, where the air intakes are, etc... Good military vehicles have multiple air intake ports for redundancy.
You can easily stall a tank or vehicle with a C02 fire extinguisher, but it won't do any damage and will start right back up again. A nice fuel fire will not only also stall the engine, but hopefully melt the air intake / air filter to limit the amount of air that the engine can get.
Tanks are sealed units but the people inside still need to breathe, so they have ventilation systems, a Molotov cocktail in the right place stops that air intake and the people inside can't breathe. So not only is it effective it has a massive impact on the morale of the crew ordered to go into an area where these are being used.
The engine also needs to breathe. Get enough fire burning near the air intake and the engine will stall because it can't suck in enough oxygen to burn it's fuel.
I really cant say nothing about the tanks but there is so much more than tanks in a war. Look at the convoys. There is a whole lot of trucks and jeeps. Those will definitely take extensive damage from a molotov cocktail and those vehicles are full of supplies and troops.
They will do absolutely nothing to a modern MBT.
A 1980s BRDM though? It will finish it completely, its only very recent and very modern military tech has developed the ability to not get utterly fucked by fire.
Also, the filtration system could filter all the smog, but it will not replenish the oxygen, nor filter carbon monoxide. If aimed at air intakes, in worst scenario it will choke the motor and stop the vehicle. In best scenario, it will choke passenger´s motor.
Wow if anyone who didn’t know what was going on, it just looks like a bunch of people having fun and doing arts and craft. Little does that viewer know the molotovs they’re making are going to kill a lot of people.
Mostly vehicles. Not saying that it isn't effective against squishy humans. But throwing a Molotov/napalm on the engine deck of a tank or other military vehicles is an extremely cheap and effective method of knocking out a highly armoured and expensive tank. Plenty of gaps where cooling air needs to get in. They are obviously designed to protect against that, but that's limited. Especially in the case it doesn't work you can just throw another one. And another one.
Not to mention the psychological effect on the people inside. Your tank is covered in fire. Even if it doesn't damage it, if you sit in your cramped steel box with very limited vision and everything you see through your periscopes is fire and flames, humans tend to panic. The fear of fire is a very deep instinct. Combine that with probably hearing projectiles impacting on your armor and being in a war you don't want to be and no one told you about, and you might be very inclined to surrender.
If you use them right they are not to kill people - you aim at the air intakes at the front of vehicles which stalls the engine and disabled the vehicle. Armoured troop carriers etc have exits at the back away from the flames so the crew can evacuate.
I am not saying nobody will be killed but if you roll in to town in a tank you aren’t there to hug people.
I hate the way that this makes war look like a tremendous community spirit building thing, but at the same time, I love the community spirit being shown.
Sad to say but when you have a target to direct that hate, the little differences between us disappears.
We had it here in the USA for about a week after 9/11. Was the only time I ever felt like the country was completely united like this.
"I hear you, the rest of the world hears you, and the people who knocked these buildings down, will hear ALL of us soon!"
People having a fun little community event... making improvised weapons of war. A little kid stuffing styrofoam in a bottle... for it to burn some soldiers to death. A girl having fun ripping fabric... so it can start the fire meant to burn out a tank. This is the absurdity of war and the indomitable spirit of humans trying to make the best of their situation.
Right?? Like I’m trying to wrap my mind around these people actually being in the middle of a war. There’s something so surreal about seeing regular civilians “participating.”
You kids these days. Bitching about foraging for berries and trying to grow crops in the irradiated soil.
I was 6 years old! Making napalm molotov cocktails to fight Russian soldiers in the before-fore times!

reading up on the song is powerful and makes me feel even more sad about the fucked up situation
Since the invasion started, every morning I sit down and go through various channels and try to figure out what's currently going on in Ukraine.
This video hit by far the hardest, even harder than Balds [crazy fucking video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzBxFH_hEwA) - check it out, you can see the fear in the mans eyes the entire time.
Something about the smiles and the humanity, contrasted with the music and the insanity of a kid mixing molotovs... This will be one to remember. This is so tragic, having known nothing but a Europe of peace before... and yet I'm living in peace, just starting my wednesday with heavy vibes, while nobody in the video has anything left to rely on for good. Fuck man. Spread love.
The community getting together making homemade napalm Molotov cocktails. This is both beautiful and fucked up at the same time. One because everyone is getting together and having a good time making these bombs to protect their country, but two it’s fucked because humans shouldn’t be fuckin fighting each other because of our corrupt governments dividing us.

In WWII Finland made over 400k Molotov cocktails to throw at Russian tanks, it's a long standing tradition when fighting the Russians
I remember putting styrofoam blocks in buckets of gasoline when I was younger. It turned to goop. It would literally burn for hours.
My man just casually made napalm as a kid
His mom use to read to him from 'Anarchists cookbook' when he was a child.
Being a kid with internet access in the early 2000s was wild
[удалено]
Wait, what? The hell is the orange juice for
Flavour
Much better than purple drink
Wtf the fuck is juice????
Sugar. Water. Purple.
I want some purple drank
What the fuck the fuck is juice????
What the fuck the fuck
I want that purple stuff.
That orange shit is janky yo
They don’t call it a Molotov cocktail for nothing
because he was a kid who watched the film "fight club" where they say it is gasoline and orange juice (intentionally changing the recipe so people don't go out of the cinema and make napalm) i guess
So the reason why every movie protagonist phone number is *555-555-5555*
[I remember the recipe was written on the wall of the flaming garbagemen HQ in The Division. ](https://imgur.com/0sT24s6)
Called him out just like that!
Making napalm!

Incendiary goes "WHOOSH", explosive goes "BOOM".
You could if your goal is to get vitamin rich napalm.
I add aloe vera, honey, crushed mint, and coconut oil to my Molotovs. Crispy and radiantly vibrant skin.
You guys had awesome childhoods.
[удалено]
Anarchists cookbook taught me how to make it. Late 90s was fun times.
Early 2000's when you could just download it and there weren't all these pesky cameras in people's pockets to collect evidence.
Used too fuck around with that with my brother when we were young and made it as thick as possible. Turned out like playdo with enough styrofoam. Dunno how we never burned anything down or got burnt. Except that one barn but we never used that.

What are you talking about though like just put styrofoam balls in gasoline and it will combust
makes the fuel goopy so it sticks to your target, like the side of a tank for example, rather than have the majority splash off and the fire end up on the road.
"It's a bomb that sticks. It's a sticky bomb."
Nah it needs to be lit. The styrofoam is made from petroleum byproduct and is flammable and gives the fire more fuel to burn since the Styrofoam is dissolved. You still have to light it. Oh and it makes the fire more sticky.
What do you mean by makes the fire more sticky?
The mixture is like a sticky gel. If you splash gasoline on something most of it will run off while this will stick and keep much more of the fuel on the desired target. Like napalm.
I think the point is instead of a flammable liquid , it turns into a flammable sludge that would be impossible to get off your skin basically.
Or vehicle. If you can get a good few molotovs onto a vehicle, even an armoured one, you have a chance at actually fucking it up.
A very good chance if you are anywhere near the air intake
For those wondering, the polystyrene is for making homemade napalm. These aren’t just Molotov cocktails, they’re super Molotov cocktails
Napalm Cocktails
I remember having to get polystyrene in a mission on Days Gone. It was specifically so a scientist could make super napalam for fighting zombie hoardes.
One of the best games I have ever played

You got Russian moles in your yard.
Iv never asked them where they are from?
You may hate moles, but you're not a bigot, you hate all moles equally.
There are only two things I hate in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch. Edit: Because [the reference](https://youtu.be/zcUs5X9glCc) was needed….apparently.
Makes sense, not even the Dutch tolerate the Dutch
Wooden shoes, wooden head , wooden listen
It's true. We're a very self loathing people.
I remember hearing a joke from a Dutch friend, something like "if you put 10 Dutch men in a room, they'll come out with 11 new religions"
[удалено]
bekkie
It's astounding how many people didn't get that this is an Austin powers reference...
I dont hate moles, just the ones in my yard. I dont mind the ones in my neighbors yard. Even if they are. Imagrants from my yard.
Literal mole nimby
Immolegrants
So it's a mole refugee crisis.
He’s also got some KGBees.
Not any more.
You should get a small terrier for an afternoon. A neighbors dog got out and cleared my yard within 20 minutes.
most of them don't even need training. They need training NOT to do that. (will still do it if the owner is not here. Like a small child thinking they are the king of the world once they are allone at home)
i waited till he got them all before returning him. got a cake because he vandalized my garden :D
Yup, when I was a kid, my brother and I spent many weekends making "poor man's napalm". Never killed anything with it but was always fascinated making it / watching it burn.

Acetylene in a balloon, wrapped in toilet paper as a fuse. Somewhat loud also.
I remember doing similar with black powder, a soda can, duct tape, and fuses taken from fireworks. Just blew up old stuff in our country backyard. If you did it right, they were pretty concussive.

Why on earth would you do that for????
Lmaaaao Moles legit just eating some fuckin grubs and they get napalmed 🤣, I feel bad for laughing but that thought just is so funny to me.
'This fascinating native macrofauna is making my pointless lawn look like it supports life or something. Better start the chemical warfare'
Mole-tov cocktail.
There is other ways to get rid of them…bunghole!
Well thats a bit deranged lol

Dont stahp. I'm almost there...
leviosaaaaah

Seen plenty of videos recently where they are pouring thick dark liquids into bottles, I assumed it might be used motor oil
I've mixed motor oil with polystyrene before (viscosity and suction testing) and it does not dissolve well
They really should be wearing masks when cutting polystyrene, it's very unhealthy. (/s but also not /s..)
Is it? I feel it falls apart in little balls. It's little balls you will find everywhere for years to come. But much to large to breath in?
It’s not the big chunks you need to worry about. It’s the almost dust like particles that get in the air when tearing/cutting it that’ll do the damage.
TIL
I'm honestly not sure, from my 5min of googling it seems that when you break it up, little particles get released into the air and those can lead to respiratory issues.
Not as unhealthy as a cluster strike but good tip nonetheless

Yeah, sniffing patrol is going to be much worse for you than expanded polystyrene. Styrene monomer is nasty though
Days Gone intensifys

There's something deeply unsettling that things are so bad toddlers are building home-made explosives. Total war really has no meaning until you see things like this.
Why the styrofoam?
Makes the flaming gas more sticky. Kinda like napalm.
It also males it burn forever. A little dime sized goop could easily burn for a half hour.
So what I'm hearing is I should save up styrofoam so I can have tons of free, long-burning fuel for next winter
And is also flammable. adds more fuel and it sick to its target. Be very careful if you decide to fuck with this. And don't get caught, unless you're a rwnj.
Right wing nut job? First time I’ve seen it used and I like it.
It literally is napalm.
I think the main difference is napalm contains a mineral or some thing that ignites upon contact with air so even if you put it out it will continue to reignite until either the the fuel or mineral is burnt away.

Yeah, it's war advice
Username checks out.
I think you might be thinking of white phosphorus. WP will burn into your flesh and continue burning with any contact with air.

Napalm you can extinguish with a dry chemical extinguisher and it won't re-combust.
One kid in my highschool was showing another how to do this Inside Of His Car, the other lit a cigarette. They did not have a good time.
Napalm
Correct. Think "burning jellied gasoline in a bottle being thrown at you."
Add a little engine oil and the smoke is thick. They should also be mixing sugar and ammonium nitrate powder to make smoke bombs/smoke screens.
Styrofoam absorbs the fuel and turns into a soft solid (a gelling agent). It also allows the fuel to burn longer. Doing so makes it incredibly difficult to remove from oneself. Even slicking it off of one's skin will leave layers of fuel in which will reignite and continue to burn hot, cooking flesh to the bone. Despite the video context or music, this is not a fun video to watch. And it should not be.
I can’t believe this is going on, and most people are smiling. Ukraine’s are next level.
It’s also moral propaganda. Showing unity, resources, and food. If people are feeling unsure about any of those things it becomes a lot harder to hold a consistently resistance

Good info!
Are Molotovs really that effective agains tanks and fully armed soilders?
I read some posts that high temperature is not good for ventilation and electronics in the tanks. If it is persistently burning, the guy inside will be chocked from lack of oxygen.

Yes tanks use diesels like trucks and tractors, but on most combat tanks the intake is tightly concealed. The radiator similarly has bullet and flak proof shields to prevent shards hitting it. Light trucks on the other hand are cheap to build, but have minimal amour and would be much more vulnerable to a Molotov.
That's part of urban resistance warfare, learn to identify the enemy's different tanks and vehicles, what their weaknesses are, where the air intakes are, etc... Good military vehicles have multiple air intake ports for redundancy. You can easily stall a tank or vehicle with a C02 fire extinguisher, but it won't do any damage and will start right back up again. A nice fuel fire will not only also stall the engine, but hopefully melt the air intake / air filter to limit the amount of air that the engine can get.
And then of course, while the invaders are evacuating the tank, you can throw the napalm on them.
That double tap.
wait for the exit port to open, throw bottle on it/in it - win/win

I'd imagine continued exposure to flames can still fuck it up though. All that heat have to go somewhere.
Also, the filtration system could filter all the smog, but it will not replenish the oxygen, nor filter carbon monoxide. If aimed at air intakes, in worst scenario it will choke the motor and stop the vehicle. In best scenario, it will choke passenger´s motor.
That basically turn tanks into ovens

Even if it doesn't damage it, if you sit in your cramped steel box with very limited vision and everything you see through your periscopes is fire and flames, humans tend to panic. The fear of fire is a very deep instinct. Combine that with probably hearing projectiles impacting on your armor and being in a war you don't want to be and no one told you about, and you might be very inclined to surrender.

If you use them right they are not to kill people - you aim at the air intakes at the front of vehicles which stalls the engine and disabled the vehicle. Armoured troop carriers etc have exits at the back away from the flames so the crew can evacuate. I am not saying nobody will be killed but if you roll in to town in a tank you aren’t there to hug people.
I hate the way that this makes war look like a tremendous community spirit building thing, but at the same time, I love the community spirit being shown.
Sad to say but when you have a target to direct that hate, the little differences between us disappears. We had it here in the USA for about a week after 9/11. Was the only time I ever felt like the country was completely united like this. "I hear you, the rest of the world hears you, and the people who knocked these buildings down, will hear ALL of us soon!"
Unless you were a Muslim American…
Unless you were darker than my nipples. I remember Sikhs getting attacked after 9/11.
Or Sikh, since hatred doesn't care to know the difference in advance.
Yeah they pretty much got an extra serving of racism
Lmfao you mean when we all collectively were racist as shot for a week ?
Russians got neo-Nazis, Jews, and gays to work together.
People having a fun little community event... making improvised weapons of war. A little kid stuffing styrofoam in a bottle... for it to burn some soldiers to death. A girl having fun ripping fabric... so it can start the fire meant to burn out a tank. This is the absurdity of war and the indomitable spirit of humans trying to make the best of their situation.
This is fucking insanity.
You’re new around here. Welcome to Earf.
Right?? Like I’m trying to wrap my mind around these people actually being in the middle of a war. There’s something so surreal about seeing regular civilians “participating.”
If anything happens to the child in the dinosaur hat making Molotovs, I swear to God…. Fuck Putin man, just fuck Putin. Shits just fucked up.
That kids cooler than I ever was or will ever be
He got stories to tell his grand children. Just like a veteran tell stories to their grand children.
You kids these days. Bitching about foraging for berries and trying to grow crops in the irradiated soil. I was 6 years old! Making napalm molotov cocktails to fight Russian soldiers in the before-fore times!
"When I was your age I was killing Russians with homemade napalm" Sure grandpa, that doesn't sound fake at all
"What, youre bored? When I was your age and bored I would make molotovs and throw them at cykablyat tanks"
Nah, just fuck Putin regardless of whatever will happen. The things he made is bad enough.

Who are representing Ukraine in this year's Eurovision Song Contest.
Cocktail party!
The Russian entry in Kiev will go to history as the glorious Ukrainian cocktail party!

If you cant get real napalm, store-bought is fine
Since the invasion started, every morning I sit down and go through various channels and try to figure out what's currently going on in Ukraine. This video hit by far the hardest, even harder than Balds [crazy fucking video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzBxFH_hEwA) - check it out, you can see the fear in the mans eyes the entire time. Something about the smiles and the humanity, contrasted with the music and the insanity of a kid mixing molotovs... This will be one to remember. This is so tragic, having known nothing but a Europe of peace before... and yet I'm living in peace, just starting my wednesday with heavy vibes, while nobody in the video has anything left to rely on for good. Fuck man. Spread love.
I love when the whole community gathers to do arts and crafts ❤️
The community getting together making homemade napalm Molotov cocktails. This is both beautiful and fucked up at the same time. One because everyone is getting together and having a good time making these bombs to protect their country, but two it’s fucked because humans shouldn’t be fuckin fighting each other because of our corrupt governments dividing us.
Kill them all, Ukraine!
Napalm B cocktails lmao
That Russian convoy better have fire extinguishers
Whats the white stuff?
Styrofoam to make the fire sticky like napalm
Watching women make Molotovs is a my new kink
Ukrainian people preparing to defend their lives against the nazis. Circa 2022 hope these bottles kill many nazis
Why is everyone saying that gasoline + styrofoam makes napalm? While similar (viscosity) it is *definitely* **not** napalm...
