You can fit a razorblade behind the battery in a mobile phone.

AA batteries are really just watch batteries piled up with a jacket round them.

This is not the case. AA and AAA batteries are a single cell.
A "9V" (PP3) battery is made up of 6 * 1.5V cells in series but these are bigger than watch batteries.
It's unlikely to be worth cutting a battery open to try and get what little power remains in the not-quite dead cells when the others are totally flat.
Some battery technologies contain quite nasty chemicles that you don't want to get on your skin. Cutting batteries open is generally not a good idea.

fair play m8 , i saw it on you tube and i'm terrible with names

Take a shotgun cartridge, and cut through the casing halfway up the length of the case, almost the entire way around. Leave about 1/8th of an inch of material holding it together. When fired, the entire front end of the cartridge goes down the barrel. Essentially a poor mans slug. Theres more stuff about cut shotgun cartridges on youtube.

iron rust and aluminium dust

themite

Obtaining the Aluminum
1) Go to a machine shop. They will usually give you aluminum powder for sweeping the floor or something.
2) Break open an Etch-A-Sketch, the stuff inside is pure aluminum powder.
3) Go to a paint store, they usually have powdered aluminum that people use to mix into paints to give it pigment.
4) Get a grinder, and something made of aluminum. Good ideas are soda cans, bike frames, and lacrosse sticks. Start grinding the aluminum and collect the sparks in a container.
5) Search eBay, they sell it for pretty cheap.

Obtaining the Iron Oxide (Rust)
1) Take some steel wool then put it in a jar and then cover it wool with water. Use a magnet to make sure the steel wool doesnt float during the reaction process. Next, put in 5 tablespoons of regular bleach into the water and 5 tablespoons of regular vinager. Wait a day or so and then filter the brown paste with a coffee filter. Leave it out to dry overnight.
2) Go to a paint store, they usually have powdered iron oxide that people use to mix into paints to give it pigment.
3) Connect wires to a direct current (9-volt battery), strip both ends and put them into a saltwater solution. Let them sit for five minutes. One of them will start bubbling more than the other. This is the POSITIVE(+) wire. Put a nail tied to the positive wire into the jar. Now put the negative wire in the other end. Now let it sit overnight and in the morning scrape the rust off of the nail & repeat until you have a bunch of rust on the bottom of the glass. Let it dry out, and crush it into a powder.
4) Search eBay, they sell it for pretty cheap.


Thermite is 8 grams of iron oxide to 3 grams of aluminum. The formula is by weight but because aluminum is very light, it will appear to be approximately a 50-50 mix. Put them together in a container and mix them until it is an even mixture. If you want, mix four parts thermite with one part clay or Play-Doh and knead thoroughly for moldable thermite.

Thermite needs a lot of heat to light, that means magnesium. Find some magnesium ribbon, or a sparkler that contains magnesium and put it into a pile of thermite. Light it with a torch, and run!

few things you may find interesting ...its a great solution for busting solid locks, so post shtf if theres a gun shop or something with a ruddy great steel cage you cannot get into, a couple of packets of thermite would make one hell of a difference ...think of it this way, in ww2 the germans had some truly ridiculous artillery, the sort of thing that can fire a several tonne shell accurately upto 30 miles away and survive direct shelling however 1 commando could sneak upto it and use a thermite pack to melt straight through its firing mechanism rendering it totally f"cked .....thermite could make for a powerful tool

Tibbs,

Cut the end carefully from a shotgun cartridge. Pour out the shot, melt paraffin wax in a pan and mix in the shot. Pour back in the cartridge to the top. A solid slug results.

Now that's wait I'm talking about. Here's another. Arrow heads. Take a young birch and splice it four ways. Then insert a scalpel blade facing outwards in each splice. Glue and bind and you have the most deadly arrow. And a co2 gun cartridge pushed into a tube of black powder, rigged in such a way that the impact of the arrow head hitting a target courses a back turned screw to break the co2 seal and fucking boom!!! Find out how on you tube and don't attempt what I've written. Strictly for the note book lol

Check out sparkler bomb on you tube. Boom fishing!!!! Well easy to make.
