Title: Second file in the SIMPLE explosives series. R.J.
|
|
Date: 2/7/88
|
|
Time: 11:50 am
|

|
|
This is the second file in the R. J. MacReady pyrotechnic
|
|
series. If you don't have the first file, it is advisable
|
|
that you download that one as well as subsequent ones.
|
|
|
|
Motor Mine: This device causes basically the same damage as
|
|
"the basic mine", but is more conveniant if
|
|
the person happens to miss stepping on it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Materials: Film Cannister (or as I said before, any size
|
|
container).
|
|
|
|
Match books. 17 packs fills a Black's film
|
|
cannister.
|
|
|
|
Wire (preferably long lengths).
|
|
|
|
Small electric motor (available at the Science
|
|
Centre)
|
|
|
|
|
|
First, take the lid of your container, make a small hole
|
|
(not a square hole like in the mine). This should be big
|
|
enough to hold the axle of the electric motor snuggly. You
|
|
need to make a small cardboard disk, or, if you can find
|
|
one, a small plastic gear like piece meant to fit on an
|
|
electric motor, but I doubt you will. You must cover this
|
|
small disk (about a centimetre wide) with the brimstone from
|
|
the matchbooks. Fill the container with matcheads, push
|
|
the motors axle through the lid, push the disk on the axle
|
|
from the other side, put on the lid, tape the whole thing
|
|
up, plus the motor, so it doesn't wobble about. Hook your
|
|
wire up to the terminals on the motor, then to a switch
|
|
or a battery or whatever. Conceal the mother, and stand
|
|
back, you will hear a high pitched screach (carrier detect?)
|
|
of the motor grinding, then BOOM. Works well.
|
|
|
|
|
|
String Cannon: Once again, the basic principle of the mine
|
|
is used here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Materials: Container.
|
|
|
|
Matchbooks.
|
|
|
|
Piece of piping with one end closed off (make
|
|
sure it is possible to put a hole in the
|
|
closed end though). ABS piping (available
|
|
at Home Hardware is good because the film
|
|
cannisters fit PERFECTLY. But only the see
|
|
through ones. Ask Blacks for TRANSPARENT
|
|
film cannisters.
|
|
|
|
String.
|
|
|
|
Violent nature.
|
|
|
|
Ok, make a basic mine (you MUST have the first file
|
|
to do this). But don't put in the match heads yet. Pierce
|
|
a hole in the bottom of the cannister (big enough for strong
|
|
string to fit through). Now, once you have made the 2 or 3
|
|
match button (from the first mine explained) you will be
|
|
pulling it from the bottom rather than stepping on the top.
|
|
Tie the string to the matches in the brimstone box and then
|
|
bring the string through the bottom of the cannister, fill
|
|
the cannister with match heads, and put on the lid. Once
|
|
again, the more you tape, THE BETTER. You want to hold this
|
|
explosion as much as possible, so when it goes off it's more
|
|
powerful. Put a hole (for the string) in the blocked end
|
|
of the piping. You might find it hard to the string through,
|
|
but try and get it through a small a hole as possible. You
|
|
don't want anything coming out the back! A good idea
|
|
is to, insert the string through the pipe, THEN do the
|
|
rest explained above (as you can see, I suck at writing .DOC
|
|
files). And drop the mine CAREFULLY down to the bottom of
|
|
the pipe. Now walk around like you have a shotgun and
|
|
whenever you want to blow something away, just point and
|
|
pull the string. A spray of match heads, fire, plastic bits
|
|
etc. will fly out, pretty impressive I guess.
|
|
|
|
Look for other files in this continuing series on SIMPLE
|
|
devices.
