This is a phile on making a smoke bomb. There are several ways to do it, but
|
|
I think this is about the best. After the end of the formula, I'll put some
|
|
varyations. Here's what you do:
|
|
Requirements-
|
|
Sugar (powdered works best, but any will do)
|
|
Saltpeter (you can get this at a hardware store)
|
|
|
|
OK, take 4 ounces of sugar and 6 ounces of saltpeter (you can use more, but
|
|
keep the porportions right) and put them in a pot. Heat them over a low flame,
|
|
stirring constantly, until it is liquid. Pour it into a container (more on
|
|
this later) and let it harden.
|
|
What kind of container, you ask? Well, that depends on the circumstances. You
|
|
can just put it into a paper cup and light the cup, if you want. Or, you could
|
|
put it in a glass jar with a hole in the top for the fuse and seal the hole
|
|
around the fuse. Another way to do it is to pour it into a mold, stick a fuse
|
|
in, and wait till it hardens.
|
|
How do I make a fuse? Very simple. Take some sturdy string and dip it in wax.
|
|
You now have a fuse suitable for a smoke bomb.
|
|
Which bomb should I use? The paper cup is good to just light it and chuck it.
|
|
The glass jar (if made right) will shatter as the smoke builds up. I'd advise
|
|
against that, cause it sends shards of glass everywhere, and it doesn't work
|
|
unless you do it perfectly right. What you need to do is stop the hole with
|
|
wax after you put the fuse in. then, when the fuse burns down to there, the
|
|
wax melts and fills over the hole. More often than not, either the hole isn't
|
|
filled properly or the wax gets popped out instead of the jar breaking.
|
|
Anyway, the mold is nice if you want to make a small, professional looking
|
|
bomb. You can use almost anything for the mold. I like to take liquid rubber
|
|
(you can get it at a hobby shop) and brush it over something like a pencil or
|
|
whatever and paint it so it looks real (from a VERY great distance). You can
|
|
also just pour it into an ice cream scoop or something. Stick the fuse in
|
|
right after you pour the mixture. You should use a fuse about 1 1/2 inches
|
|
long, with an inch sticking out.
|
|
Now that I have the bomb, what do I do with it? Easy. You light it and put
|
|
it somewhere where it will cause trouble. You can light it and drop it near
|
|
a smoke detector, or put it in a heating vent at your school. Now, if getting
|
|
caught is a problem, you can do one of two things:
|
|
1) use a really long fuse, and dip it more than once in the wax, or
|
|
2) make a timer.
|
|
Making the timer:
|
|
Requirements-
|
|
Analog alarm clock (you can do it with a watch, but it's more difficult to work
|
|
with the small parts. Wind up or b/o is best)
|
|
wire
|
|
hot melt glue gun and/or solder and soldering iron
|
|
nine volt battery and terminal (you can get a pack of terminals at Radio Shit
|
|
for like $1, or you can just take something that uses a 9 v battery and cut it
|
|
off there)
|
|
iron nail
|
|
Minimal intelligence ( if you don't have this, forget the whole thing)
|
|
|
|
Here's what you do:
|
|
Take the clock and knock the glass off. If the hands are metal, just solder
|
|
the end of 1 wire to the hour or minute hand (depending on how long you want
|
|
it to wait) and the other to the attery terminal. If it's not metal, glue the
|
|
wire to the hand so the exposed part sticks out over the end of the hand. Then
|
|
take another wire and solder ot to the end or the nail. solder the other end
|
|
to the other battery terminal. Now take another wire and glue or solder the
|
|
end of it to the clock face at 6 so that the hand with the wire (or the wire
|
|
glued to it) will touch it. You may need to bend the minute hand up so that
|
|
it won't knock the wire over if you are using the hour hand as the live hand.
|
|
Now solder the other end of that wire to the end of the nail. When the wire
|
|
on the hand and the wire at 6 touch, the circuit will be made and the nail will
|
|
heat up. When you make the bomb, put the nail in in place of the fuse. Set
|
|
the clock so you have as much time as you need (if you want it to go off 5
|
|
minutes later, put the wire on the minute hand and set the clock at 12:25) and
|
|
place the bomb.
|
|
|
|
That'll do it for this phile. Remember, explosives are dangerous (even smoke
|
|
bombs) and the glass jar method is VERY dangerous. It will send shrapnel
|
|
flying at speeds high enough to go right through people. It looks cool from a
|
|
distance, but make sure you are experienced enough to do it, and make sure no
|
|
one is around to get hit by the glass.
