Description
My most boring video yet...
Testing the properties of napalm.
Gasoline
Sodium Stearate
Magnesium powder
Sodium Nitrate
Most napalm you see on YouTube is just gasoline and polystyrene, I found that this makes it clump together in a thick putty. Jelly texture is more desirable and stickier as you can see. The sodium ions and magnesium burn vigorously with a white hot flame. It continued to burn for 4-5 minutes but I'm not going to show it here. I also included Sodium nitrate to oxidize the magnesium.
To make clear for all those people who try to correct me like I don't know what I'm doing (always get a lot of those people commenting on my videos) :
The first napalm used by the US military was composed of low octane gasoline and a metal salt of fatty acids. (such as sodium/aluminum napthenate or palmitate.
Then Napalm-B came about which is gasoline, benzene, and polystyrene.
Currently they use triethylaluminum and polyisobutylene which is pyrophoric.
There are also a few current aerial bombs that use other additives to petroleum fuels such as oxidizers, white phosphorus, aluminum powder, and Hydroxyl aluminium bis(2-ethylhexanoate).
___
Basically I made old school napalm with a reactive metal powder and an oxidizer added. It is very effective. It burns hotter than Napalm-B, but not as long. If only I could get triethylaluminum...
(And before someone asks: Sodium stearate Is very similar to sodium palmitate so it makes a fine substitute.)

The captured URL is the exact address of the page when it was captured, country host and parameters included. For Common Crawl it opens the record in that crawl's index (WARC file and offset), and the HTML button downloads the page's original code from Common Crawl. For the Web Archive it opens that very capture in the Wayback Machine. The date of a Common Crawl capture opens the nearest Wayback copy of the page.
