Author	Topic: Sparkler Bomb
BoB- Frequent Poster	posted May 18, 2000 04:13 AM has anyone ever made a sparkler bomb? the people that have seen one never forget it basically a entire package (those 12 packs of 20 type) of sparklers is wrapped together with stiff strong wire (you could use to stripped sparklers twisted together, but this might break) a single sparkler is extended in the middle until just the very end of it touches the res t (the fuse) the bottoms of the sparklers are bent so it can sit on the road and not move the top sparkler is lit and you run, far the "bomb" (it doesnt explode) then ignites ito a blinding flare (if this is done on a road and a car comes just stand so he cant go anywhere near the bomb) it shoots up and is hot enough and tall enough to light trees on fire, the road where this is done will be soft if you poke it with a pencil, and the spaklers will be hot enough to burn severly for up to a 1/2 hour after the show this is very helpful if at the fouth of july all one can get is sparklers. just imagine what those big long sparklers would do ------------------ Look Ma No Hands!

Maddoc Frequent Poster	posted May 18, 2000 01:31 PM Its the smae effect with blackmatch in a paper tube (quickmatch, burns almost instantly). The hot gasses go up the center (the gaps between the sparklers) and ignite the rest in a fraction of a second. ------------------ Whoa, where my fingers?

BoB- Frequent Poster	posted May 18, 2000 06:21 PM I wasnt sure wether or not to post it in the explosives sec. cause its more like a huge flare but, I guess I'll copy and re-post ------------------ Look Ma No Hands! (there over by the shed)
glock Frequent Poster	posted May 18, 2000 06:57 PM i once made a pretty weak bomb by taking about 2 dozen sparklers and grouping them together in a bundle, then i took another sparkler and put it in the center of the bundle about half way in, this will be the fuse , then you electrical tape the whole thing with about 10-15 layers of tape except for the fuse, then just light the fuse and throw it, its pretty loud and ive effectively taken out mailboxes with them . ------------------ WARNING - Tresspassers will be shot, Survivers will be shot again.
Maddoc Frequent Poster	posted May 19, 2000 01:52 PM Talking about mail-boxes: I have to post this video me and a friend (Rupert) made. In my garage, I found our old "flamingo" shaped mailbox, straight away, I had an idea of what to do with it. Me and Rupe, went out into the middle of nowhere, and stuck it up in the ground. I placed inside one of my 50x36 foot fireball bombs (see inp. weps section, topics from last year). I lit the fuse and we have it all on tape. It looked like a real flamingo from a distance. It has to be the funniest explosion I've ever filmed. When you see the tape, It looks like this flamingo just explodes into a 50x36 foot fireball. Its also great to show to friends and relitives, their jaws drop when this flamingo goes BOOOMM. ------------------ Whoa, where my fingers?
HydraShock Frequent Poster	posted May 19, 2000 05:00 PM That sounds like something all of us would enjoy. Try to post it soon.
BrassMonkey Frequent Poster	posted May 20, 2000 09:27 PM Maddoc- About that 50x36 ft. fireball bomb, could you either post how to make it again or tell me the name of the post it was in? Before anyone else gets on my back about using the search engine or shit like that, I tryed but the search engine doesnt work. PS- is it possible maddoc that your post went off the end of the list and went into the archive or something? (which I cant get access to)
nbk2000 Moderator	posted May 21, 2000 12:42 AM You don't need the search function to find the post. Just go to the improvised weapons section, look for the pull down menu that says "view topics for last 20 days" and change it to show all topics. Click go. Then scroll down till you see a tiopic posted by Maddoc about fireballs. Its not too hard to figure out which one it is. Don't ask people to repost stuff that's already been posted. Duplicates are not acceptable here. And nothing dissapears from here. It's all still here for you to find if you put in the effort to find it. ------------------ "The knowledge that they fear is a weapon to be used against them." Search the archive before you ask. http://members.xoom.com/forumlibrary
Maddoc Frequent Poster	posted May 21, 2000 04:32 AM Actually, its only in the last year about 1/3 of the way down. ------------------ Whoa, where my fingers?
BrassMonkey Frequent Poster	posted May 22, 2000 01:03 AM really sorry! when he said it was in the last year I just assumed it wouldnt be in the last 100 days aswell. so I started from the last post of the 100 days list and looked down from that. again sorry! I usually hate people who ask for re-posts. and since I find it hard to hate myself, I just feel REALLY retarded
