How to make a Gas Mask Version 1.2 - Thursday October 11th 2001
Warning : You are requested to buy a proper mask from the suppliers and only when and if all your efforts have failed then resort to this method. This mask does not give complete protection but will still give you very good protection in case of a sudden NBC attack. You undertake to make this mask at your own risk. The author makes no claims as to its sustained effectiveness and working. It takes no responsibility for effectiveness against severe acts of terrorism and is only given as a last resort.
Please read the previous section thoroughly before you make a mask
Note: It is assumed that you are dexterous with tools, have a mechanical bent of mind and have some general knowledge of Chemicals and household equipment. This mask takes half an hour to construct if you have the materials ready. Do not use zeolite or Charcoal powder use only granules. Both these ingredients are very cheap and available at any chemical supply depot.
Goal: Our goal is clear. We imagine that terrorists have released either some Chemicals or germs or some unknown thing in the air.
The Solution: We solve the problem by making a filter that will remove some if not all of the culprits in the air that will snuff out life.
Materials:
Tools:

Figure 1.1
Understanding the filter : What we are doing is to use the canister like the coke-can to filter the air. We do this by filling various things into the can as shown in figure 1.1. We will fix this filter on the tarpaulin bag in front of the nose and that's all there is to it.
First take a the bag and put it on your head it should fit snuggly but not so tight as to constrict circulation, also there should be some space in the front, i.e. it should not be pressing the nose but should have at lest 2-3 inches in front of the nose.
Now take the can and place it on the bag where your mouth
will be trace the outside of the can draw a smaller circle inside this circle
and cut out this smaller circle. Make several cuts from the small circle to the
bigger circle. Put the can in this hole and make sure it fits snuggly. we will
later
stick the flaps to the can and then seal
it with tape in the last stage.
Now drill about 30 - 50 2mm holes evenly at the end of the can. Slice of
the other end of the can
(the side which you drink from) completely. We will use
this sliced off side to breath from. Don't forget to deburr the metal if it is sharp.
Now the best part. Wash the can thoroughly with a strong antiseptic solution and stand the can with the drilled side on the bottom. It is now ready for filling. First cut a circle of the 60 micron cloth to fit inside the can and ease it to the end. soak a very thin layer of cotton in antiseptic solution, dry it and put it evenly on this mesh. Over that put a thin layer of loose steel wool. Over that put very loose cotton to a height of about 1/4 inches. Then lay on the activated charcoal granules, followed by a thin layer of steel wool, follow that with the zeolite granules. The last is the antiseptic component which might be just cotton soaked in strong antiseptic and squeezed dry then fluff the cotton and put it into the can. Top this off with the 100 micron cloth disk. make several small cuts at the tip of the can and fold over over the cloth disk. This will hold all the stuff inside. Seal the mask at the sides with tape as shown in figure 1.4.

Figure 1.4
Put the breathing side of the can into the hole on the bag till it is flush from the inside. Make sure the flaps are on the outside. Stick these flaps to the can with superglue taking meticulous care to make sure that there are no holes. Use tape to seal off and make it airtight.
For the lenses: wear the swimming glasses, put the bag on top of your head, then feel with your hands and cut appropriate holes to accommodate the bulging Perspex. Never cut a hole fully but build up from a small hole, snip small pieces away as you progress and then test for a snug fit. Then fix the glasses with super-glue making sure there are no air leaks.
To close the pores in a bag rub bees wax on the inside and outside of the bag. After donning the mask wrap a shawl or a bed sheet around the neck to make a seal.

Figure 1.5
It is advisable to do a test for at least one day if time permits. This will get one used to wearing a mask but don't forget to refill the filter with new material once you have finished.
Remember: Never compress any layer, especially the cotton layer. All the layers have to be loose or the air wont flow through. The last antiseptic component is best if made just before donning the mask. To store the mask seal both sides of the can with tape and remove this just before use. Inspect the mask if using after a long time, there could be insects, cockroaches, silver fish etc. also the steel wool might be rusted. Always store the mask in an airtight plastic bag. Monitor the news and your surroundings for tell-tale signs of a terrorist attack. Some might laugh at you for wearing a mask but when they are gasping you will be laughing inside your mask.
Variations: If you don't have charcoal or zeolite just use plenty of loose antiseptic cotton, though not as effective, it will hold out for some time. To support the weight of the can tie a string round it and stick the ends of the string on top of the bag with superglue as shown in figure 1.5. If you don't have specific mesh cloth cut disks from an old cotton pant. If breathing is labored or your inhaling (FEV1) capacity is weak then replace the 100 micron cloth with ordinary cotton cloth. If it is still weak drill a few holes on the side of the can at the far end.

Biological Emergency In a very remote emergency if you are caught unawares at the very last moment the least you can do is to make a make a breather shown on the left. All you have to do is take an airtight container drill two holes at the top and have two pipes pass through. then fill the container half with water and a powerful antiseptic like Dettol or Savlon. Make sure this solution is very strong. If you don't have either you can use very salty brine solution but not so mushy as to choke the inlet pipe. Seal the pipes to the container with putty or a hard paste of dough. Use a clip on your nose and suck the clean air through the pipe from your mouth. The idea is very simple, when you suck on the clean air pipe it creates a low pressure in the top half of the container this sucks air through the inlet pipe but the air cannot enter directly, it has to first pass through the antiseptic which kills the germs. This setup is used only in an emergency because sometime or later you've got to drink. If you can multiplex drinking and breathing and keep your cool- fine |
Don't forget to stock.... sealed water, dry food, torch, radio, first-aid kit, bed sheets, pipe to suck water, glasses, plates, bible, rosary, sacramentals, holy water. Also keep your vacuum cleaner and air purifier running continuously till the electricity fails. Close the doors and windows and seal the gaps with wet towels. Do not venture outdoors for anything.
Visions of Starr Tomkiel.
Message to Louise Tomkiel.
OCTOBER 5, 2001, 11:00 A.M.
Louise started to receive a vision and then followed a message from Jesus
and she said, " Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious
Blood."
I see: A heavy ochre colored fog has settled upon the earth. No
light can penetrate it yet, it is not dark. There are signs indicating gas
stations which, I take this too mean, that this yellow/ochre fog is a
chemical gas. The people with gas masks, God is protecting. The others are
breaking out in boils and their skin is blistering. Here and there, there are
flames. The smell is obnoxious--like sulphuric acid.
If someone lights a match or lighter, an instant explosion takes place.
Only God's remnant seem protected in transparent cubes where nothing can harm
them. His faithful ones seem to be at peace.
I hear: Chemical warfare is upon you. Little will be spared.
If you listen to Me and do all I ask, to the best of your ability, I will take
care of you.
This smog is already settling over many great, industrial areas. Some will
bear an odor; some will not. All is deadly. No one will be able to deny this
very visible act of evil. The men who are preparing this vicious attack will
also die from it. I tell you again, If you are still unprepared, your very
life may be at stake. You must make your decision; God or My Adversary, the
Devil/Satan/Lucifer.
Prayer, obedience, love, consecration and dedication to the Will of God is
your only hope to survive and endure these treacherous times that you are living
You must come to Me and eat of this Bread (My Body) and drink of this Cup
(My Blood) to have life within you. Repent! Forgive! Pray! Do not become faint
or weary. I am your Strength, your Light and I am the only Way to Heaven. Follow
Me.
The destruction has begun and will quickly, daily, worsen. Only a fool
would brush off or
ignore these mighty signs.
The warnings grow as I continue to speak through My messengers. Only a
handful listen.
Many are tired of hearing these repetitious warnings and so they, many in
number, are
turning away oblivious to their needs, My strength and the devious ways Satan
is using
to divert your attention from Me.
NOTE: see John 6:53-- Galatians 6:6-9 --Isaiah 40:29-- Revelations 9:
17-18 and 14:10 Douay Rhiems Bible
Galatians 6:6-9 And let him that is instructed in the word communicate to him that instructeth him, in all good things.
Isaiah:40:29 It is he that giveth strength to the weary, and increaseth force and might to them that are not.
30 You shall faint, and labour, and young men shall fall by infirmity.
31 But they that hope in the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall take wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
Revelations 9:17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision. And they that sat on them had breastplates of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone. And the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions: and from their mouths proceeded fire and smoke and brimstone.
18 And by these three plagues was slain the third part of men, by the fire and by the smoke and by the brimstone which issued out of their mouths.
14:10 He also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mingled with pure wine in the cup of his wrath: and shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the sight of the holy angels and in the sight of the Lamb.
11 And the smoke of their torments, shall ascend up for ever and ever: neither have they rest day nor night, who have adored the beast and his image and whoever receiveth the character of his name.
