EXPLOSIVES AND FIRECRACKERS !!!!

Question

okay well my friend told me that i can get a matchbox and scrap the stuff off sparklers and put it inside then get a piece of string inside like the string and blow the box up ..... i kinda want to make more of these sort of things but not sure how any suggestions

Answer 1

get 2 plastic coke bottle lids drill a hole on one of them fill both lids up with the stuff off sparklers stickytape the two lids together get another sparkler and cut the wire off the bottom stick the sparkler in the hole you drilled in the lid and light the sparkler up...btw do this outside and stand a fair way back

Answer 2

FIND HELEN SPEARE!

Answer 3

Bear in mind that the sparkler is a specific configuration. When removing the powder and doing something which will increase the surface area, the burning rate will be MUCH faster. So much faster that it will REALLY surprise you. I only have a small scar on my leg from something that was suposed to burn slowly and ended up being the loudest thing I have ever heard and survived from. I know that it is hard to find literature about this stuff and things exist on the internet that talk about how neat it is to do some stuff. Please do not believe MOST of the stuff. They talk about stuff that can really kill you like you can get away with it every time. NO you can't. I went to school with a kid that did some of the same stuff I did. His arm was blown off from the elbow down. I asked about it and realized I had sone some of the same stuff. Also, PLEASE understand that when you search for things using the words "explosive" or "bombs" on the net, you will have your name added to a watch list. Too many hits on the list and they will not just watch. Terrorists have made what used to be a hobby into a very sensitive subject that gets you put into jail.

Answer 4

Here is a true story: 28 years ago, my best buddy and I, while attending engineering school, were building tiny rockets out of aluminium foil and matches. At the start, those were single match "rockets", but we moved to a large one with a body made of foil shaped around the body of a pen. This was filled to capacity with match heads. We proceeded to try to lauch it ouside, and I approached a lighter under the rocket to provide the ignition, which took longer that I thought. And then there was a deafening *KABLAM* and falling around us were bits of piping hot aluminium, burnt bits of matches embers. And the flame from my lighter had been blown off.

That was the last rocket we did. We both are aerospace engineers, but we're not crazy.

You should not be either.

The fact is those things are surprizingly powerful, and will blow up the moment you least expect it. There is engough chemical energy in those to take off one of your finger and mangle your hand, burn your face, or burst your eardrum.

Don't do it.

If you do it once and succeed, then you'll try it again, and one day it will fail. And it will not be the last time because you chose it to be, but because you'd be badly injured.
