Abstract

Objective:Molotov cocktails are a classic homemade weapon used over the past 80 years; also known as gasoline bombs. However, there is not enough research in the literature. Molotov cocktail is classified as a mildly explosive substance. But a Molotov cocktail is not an explosive. This is a handmade lighter. It is used to set fire to targets in terrorist attacks. Methods:In our study, classic homemade Molotov cocktails were used. Oil, diluent, sugar, cologne, epoxy resin, paraffin, egg white, liquid and solid detergent, bleach, wood glue were added to the mixture. Parameters such as burning temperature, burning time, glass and nail spreading diameter, and residues of the Molotov cocktail were investigated. The prepared molotov cocktails were broken on 5 different floors, and the effect of changing the floor on the parameters was investigated. Results:In our study, 51 (59.3%) of 86 molotov cocktails were broken. Most of the destruction occurred in the wall. According to the results we obtained, a relationship was found between the content of the Molotov cocktail, the burning temperature and the time. It was found that the damage was increased with the addition of substances to the mixture. Conclusion: In addition, in our study, it was noticed that the Molotov cocktail did not explode by itself and did not cause damage to the environment by throwing nails.
