How to make gunpowder and explosives with it:
|
|
|
|
One basic ingredient in gunpowder is * potassium nitrate *. You can get this
|
|
at most pharmacies and some drugstores on the shelf. If you can't find it on
|
|
the shelf, you'll half to ask the pharmacist (you will probably need a parent
|
|
signature if you aren't 21). You also need * sulfur * and * charcoal *. The
|
|
sulfur can be obtained at most drugstores on the shelf and the charcoal, well
|
|
I think most people can figure it out. The quantities are as follow:
|
|
|
|
3 parts potassium nitrate
|
|
1 part sulfur
|
|
1 part charcoal (finely powdered)
|
|
|
|
You can experiment by changing the quantities slightly to get the best results
|
|
|
|
MAKING GIANT FIRECRACKERS:
|
|
|
|
To make giant firecrackers, you need the following materials:
|
|
1) A dowel rod (about the diameter of the firecracker you want)
|
|
2) A brown grocery bag
|
|
3) Glue (Elmer's)
|
|
4) Gunpowder
|
|
|
|
Rap a strip of the brown bag around the dowel until it is about 1/8 in. thick.
|
|
Then cut 2 1/4 in. pieces of the dowel and glue one of them inside the rolled
|
|
paper (you can tape the paper once you have it rolled so it stays). Fill it
|
|
about 1/3 of the way with gunpowder (it works better than all the way full).
|
|
Put the other cap on and make a hole in it for the fuse. Put the fuse in and
|
|
have fun!!!
|
|
|
|
** Note **
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
A nice smoke bomb can be made by filling a pop or beer can with gun powder
|
|
with a little extra charcoal. Stick a fuse in and throw it on the beach for
|
|
a good laugh or two!

|
Detonators:
|
|
|
|
A really good fuse can be made with potassium nitrate: Soak some filter paper
|
|
(or strips of Mr. Coffee filters) in a P. nitrate-water solution. Make sure
|
|
you put alot of p. nitrate in the water (heat the water up so it dissolves
|
|
better). Twist them up real tight and let them dry ** until they are very
|
|
brittle ** and you are done!
|
|
Another good detonator is an * elctrolytic capacitor * (which you can get at
|
|
any Radio Shack). Make sure it has a lower voltage than the source (ex.: a
|
|
9 volt battery, car battery, 110 volt wall socket). All you need is a small #
|
|
of microfarads, but if you get something with about 2000, you will have a nice
|
|
explosion from the capacitor alone!
|
|
Another detonator you can use is a flashlight bulb (or something about the
|
|
same size). Break the glass, but not the filament! Put it inside your
|
|
explosive and wire it up to a 9 volt battery with a switch! (if you forget the
|
|
switch you can kiss your ass goodbye!)
|
|
|
|
|
|
TIME BOMB:
|
|
|
|
To make a time bomb out of a wristwatch is really quite simple. Get a
|
|
wristwatch with a metal casing and metal hands (not digital). Make sure you
|
|
have some sort of explosive ready. Get a 9 volt battery and 3 pieces of wire.
|
|
Break a small hole (enough to put the wire in), then put on wire in the hole
|
|
and tape it so it doesn't fall out. Hook the other end to the battery (by the
|
|
way a car battery will also work). Take another wire and hook it to the rim
|
|
of the watch, and hook the other end to the detonator. Last, attach a wire
|
|
from the battery directly to the detonator. Oh yeah, make the hole in the
|
|
watch at the "6" and set the big hand to the "12" giving you 30 min. If you
|
|
want 15 min. put the big hand on the "3", etc. If you want to use hours,
|
|
break off the minute hand & use the hour hand. For seconds, use the second
|
|
hand, etc. Finally, put the detonator inside the bomb and sit back & enjoy
|
|
the fireworks!
