Section 8 Caught On Fire.


HOW TO MAKE A MOLOTOV COCKTAIL


Ingredient:

  • Gasoline
  • Motor oil
  • Cloth / Rag
  • Glass bottle
  • Stones (emergency use only)



Procedure:

  1. First, pour the gasoline into the glass bottle.
  2. Next, add up motor oil with ratio of 70:30 for gasoline and motor oil.
  3. Shake it rapidly so that the gasoline and motor oil mix together.
  4. Wipe up the excess gasoline on the surface of the bottle.
  5. Stuck up a piece of cloth / rag on the bottle lit and tie it up.
  6. Wet the tip of the cloth / rag with gasoline so will burn easily.
  7. Lastly, burn the cloth / rag and throw the bottle for maximum impact of enjoyment.


Note:

Prepare yourself with fire extinguisher or you’ll end up burning your hair like Fariz does.



Fact:

  1. The bombs were derisively named after Soviet Union Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov by the Finns during the Winter War.
  2. Molotov cocktail used for a variety of improvised incendiary weapons.
  3. Gasoline has a molecular formula of C8H18 and primarily used as fuel in internal combustion engines.
  4. Motor oil works as the thickening reagents to help the burning liquid adhere to the target and create clouds of thick choking smoke.



Making a single Molotov cocktail is simply fun. Making it from an eight big bottle of sparkling water and Ribena was tremendously fantastic. It put a smile on each one of the so called ‘pyromaniac’ face.



The story begin when Fariz ask me if I got some motor oil left in my store room. So I ask me what the hell he going to use it for. He said that “I need to prepare myself in case Malaysia goes to war, dude”. Then, he start explaining his dirty not-so-little plan to me. “I’m gana use this Molotov cocktail when I’m joining riot”. For those who’s still wondering what the fuck is Molotov cocktail is, it’s also known as the petrol bomb, gasoline bomb and when put in action, the fuse is lit and the bottle hurled at a target such as a vehicle or fortification. When the bottle smashes on impact, the ensuing cloud of petrol droplets and vapor are ignited, causing an immediate fireball followed by a raging fire as the remainder of the fuel is consumed. Well, the only word that come out of my mouth after that is… “cool..."






After the 1st successful attempt (thou the glass bottle didn’t break so we need to throw couple of stone at it) Fariz, Hazlan and I rush to the sec9 petrol pump to get more gasoline. At that point we all already had a full blast of adrenaline rush through our body and no one could stop us now. A full 5L of bottle filled up with RM 8 of gasoline should do the trick to satisfy us now. I call one more pyromaniac friend of mine that I know for extra help. Who else do you think it is, obviously it is Haziq.

So we gather up in sec8 lombong beside Acacia house and start preparing our stuff. We end making 8 bottles of Molotov. 2 bottle of sparkling water( that makes me threw up after drinking half of it), 3 bottle of Ribena (thanks to Haziq), 1 bottle of Kampai, and 2 bottle of Malta. Accidently in the process, Haziq manage to applied his stupidity and burn Fariz hair (and our project site) by impetuously using his Zippo to light up the spilt gasoline while in the same time Fariz is still pouring gasoline into the bottle. So as for the safety precaution, Haziq need to surrender all of his lighter which is all 3 of them to Hazlan and had to stay away 3 foot from the site.

It take a hard work of 4 guys and takes about 30 minutes to prepare but it takes only 5 minutes to completely burn all of it. But those 35 minutes of preparing, worth a life time of a story to be shared. And if u guys said we are stupid, then refrain this in your mind “girls have a desire for shopping, but for boys, we have the appetite for destruction”. We are the pyromaniac, playing fire is what we do. Kids, don't try this at home



I’ll upload the video soon~



p/s:- maybe next time I’ll try to make a home made C4 and look where my Chemical Engineering skill going to go from there....
