Potassium Nitrate is an ingredient in making fuses, among other
things. Here is how you make
it:

Materials needed:

-3.5 gallons of nitrate bearing earth or other
material
-1/2 cup of wood ashes
-Bucket or other similar container about 4-5 gallons in
volume
-2 pieces of finely woven cloth, each a bit bigger than the
bottom of the
bucket
-Shallow dish or pan at least as large in diameter as the bucket
-Shallow, heat
resistant container
-2 gallons of water
-Something to punch holes in the bottom of the
bucket
-1 gallon of any type of alcohol
-A heat source
-Paper & tape


/> Procedure:

- Punch holes on the inside bottom of the bucket, so that the

metal is"puckered" outward from the bottom

- Spread cloth over the holes from
the bottom

- Place wood ashes on the cloth. Spread it out so that it covers
the
entire cloth and has about the same thickness.

- Place 2nd cloth on top of the wood
ashes

- Place the dirt or other material in the bucket

- Place the bucket
over the shallow container. NOTE: It may need
support on the bottom so that the holes on the
bottom are not
blocked.

- Boil water and pour it over the earth very slowly. Do
NOT pour
it all at once, as this will clog the filter on the bottom.

- Allow
water to run through holes into the shallow dish on the
bottom.

- Be sure that
the water goes through ALL of the earth!

- Allow water in dish to cool for an hour or
so

- Carefully drain the liquid in the dish away, and discard the
sludge in the
bottom

- Boil this liquid over a fire for at least two hours. Small
grains of
salt will form - scoop these out with the paper as they
form

- When the liquid
has boiled down to 1/2 its original volume let
it sit

- After 1/2 hour, add
equal volume of the alcohol; when this
mixture is poured through paper, small white crystals
appear. This
is the posassium nitrate.

Purification:

- Redissolve
crystals in small amount of boiling water

- Remove any crystals that appear


/> - Pour through improvised filter then heat concentrated solution
to dryness.

- Spread out crystals and allow to dry
heres a vid of sumthing FUN to do with your creation thats not dangerous unless u inhale it.
