Napalm is the generic name for the mixture of a flammable petroleum substance, typically diesel gasoline, with a thickening or gelling agent to give the fiery substance “sticky” properties. Napalm-like fiery substances have been used since early Greek times for war purposes. Napalm as we know it today, was developed at a secret Harvard University laboratory in 1942 and was intended to be used as an incendiary device for buildings and structures. However, more recently Napalm was used as an incendiary substance that sticks readily to victims prolonging the burn, and damage, to the victim and proved especially effective against dug-in enemy personnel. Napalm is also a common fuel for incendiary devices such as the Molotov cocktail. For more peaceful purposes, napalm can be used in animal traps and to focus a burn on a given area for a prolonged period of time. It can even be used as a cutting device in a survival situation.
