Real Explosives
Posted on | April 17, 2010 | No Comments
Real explosives are EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. To the average person, most types of explosives are a suicide mission. I know! I have almost killed myself a few times! The second you don’t respect explosive material, they can maim or possibly kill you. However, explosives can be very useful as they can take down buildings in seconds, safely destroy unstable ordnance, remove unwanted concrete, dirt, tree stumps, and water flow restrictions like natural damns.
I know it is every little boys dream to blow stuff up but I could not in good conscience teach anyone how to build powerful explosives like thermite or chloride nitrates. These are extremely unstable and would kill anyone who didn’t know how to handle them. The next best thing is a few cool science experiments I could teach you Like a potato cannon. I know… I know…. a Potato Cannon sounds boring. Well, try a different type of accelerant. You migt consider using regular lighter fluid or calcium carbide. Calcium Carbide is used in many welding applications and is available in just about any welding supply shop. When Calcium Carbide mixes with water it makes a fuel that is close to the fuel in cutting torches. This fuel burns extremely hot and fast but is not any more dangerous than using lighter fluid even though your velocity will be incresed by at least 40%. Only use about a teaspoon of the powder and mix it in the chamber of the potato cannon, load your potato and fire just like any other potato cannon. The reason why this is much safer than any other explosive is becouse the fuel will not burst your barrel if you overload it then it will just be a waste of fuel. So, this is very powerful but also relatively safe so I hope you enjoy.
Have fun and stay safe!!!!
