This is one of the best pieces of edutainment I've ever read.
Diploma in destruction (//www.nuthouse.org/~hendersa/college/experiments/boom.html)
Maeglamor says: Don't try this at home kids. :nod:
-
i think i will try this at home because i have nothing better to do
-
That sounds like fun :devilidea
-
If you never pay heed to another thing I say pay attention to this:
For pity's sake don't do 'The act of God' indoors, do it in a field or some secluded, non flammable place (i.e. not a gas station). I don't want to see any HLP'ers on the 'unfortunate deaths' list.
-
lol tha was so freaking funny
-
That "act of god" sounds quite interesting... ;)
-
But I'm crazy enough to do it. :p So, who wants to join? :D
-
I have almost all the stuff home to make the PVC artilery gun:D
-
Sweet Jesus! I'm dying oh laughter! Oh Christ, my ribs!
-
At first glance I thought 'amateurs' but they're actually quite sophisticated in their methods and seem to have made some nifty stuff with cheap components.
-
I think somebody is bored like hell.:p
-
If you think those things are cool/suicidal you should see the 'Fish-Killer'. You fix together a hook, some bait, a shotgun shell (gunpowder replaced with plastics) and a party popper. The fish pulls the hook, sets off the party popper, ignites the plastics (or the trigger charges), fires the shot, blows the fish to pieces and makes a nice mushroom-splash in the water. Very cool.

Last summer... :p
-
Now I'm convinced that you are all nuts.:p
-
:lol::lol::yes:
Take pictures when you do it! :D
-
I tried but the spash was a little bit stronger than I thaught. :rolleyes:

That cannon makes me hungry.
Yummie gonna make Shoarma.

Seems like some people has a too much free-time.... But it was fun reading... :lol: (http://anywherebb.com/forum/images/smiles/yelrotflmao.gif) :lol:

I WILL make that cannon:D

the wax thing...i gotta try that sometime

If you're going to play with fire, make sure any friends you have near it are not complete dumbasses. This one time me and my sister were playing with some nail-varnish remover, pouring it about and lighting it and ****. All of a sudden the fire we lit in a small cup gets outta control and guess what my sisters friend does to try and put it out..........She whacks a cup full of highly flammable NVR with a tea towel. The tea towel sets on fire, the NVR that was just doing nothing in the bottom of the cup blazes through the air in a firey streak and all over the curtains. And all the while, unbeknownst to us, a small trail of fire has been making its way towards the half-full bottle of NVR. Sufficed to say, the rest of the night was equally as good fun.

I really don't recommend 'the act of God' for sheer insane destruction reasons but if you really want to mess with PVC artillery look it up here: SPUDTECH! (www.spudtech.com) this guy has built some interesting toys and he's got a bit on safety guidelines. If you're going to terrify the neighbours, do it safely :nod:
-
Say, I have 3 months off school before I go to Uni... ;7
-
Hmmm, I wonder if you could have a spudlauncher as a secondary on a herc? It would be dumbfire of course :)
-
Does that refer to the weapon itself, or those who fire it? :lol:
-
I always thought letting the gas from a lighter drain into a milkbottle then lighting it was pretty fun, but with this....
The streets of Kintore will never be safe again...

Amateurs. I've seen 12-year-olds one-up that. Want to have real fun (provided you can outrun a good dozen cops in cars), get your hands on a mint copy of Bayo's 100 Questions for a Guerrilla. MOST of the things won't blow up as you assemble them, if you know what you're doing (they tell you in the beginning which ones do), though the Molotov launcher looks a tad specious to me- never tried it, but something about flaming glass bottles and explosions meant more for high-velocity lumps of steel seems like this stuff musta been more sturdy back in the days of the Revolution.:D
-
Unfortunately you seem to have misconstrued the intention of all of this stuff. We're attempting to have fun here, fun generally doesn't involve getting arrested, killed or ****ed up. (Please excuse my language.)
I live in Northern Ireland, if I feel the need to get killed I'll go start a riot with the police service over here, they'll gladly shoot me in the face with a few plastic bullets. That'll teach me a lesson.
If you really feel the need to maim someone or waste the cops' time then go get a copy of the anarcist's cookbook. Hopefully you'll **** yourself up before you get a chance to harm anyone else.
-
Eh, you don't have to maim anybody. But a little property damage never hurt anything.:D
Besides, I was giving only one example. A lot of the stuff in there isn't really any more dangerous than, say, a potato cannon. A little more sabotage-oriented, sure, but about the same (and in fact quite a bit less stupid than starting a grease fire with candle shavings). Anarchist's cookbook my ass- thing's a sham I could smell from a hundred miles away, as well as violating the name of sanarchists, whose most famous members have actually not been vicious redneck psychos like today's breed.
-
hehe, I live on 10 acres, and people really don't mind gunshots in the middle of the night
:devilidea:
If my parents ever leave for a weekend, I'm gonna make me some potato artillery...
-
Wow. Never thought microwaves had that much power in them.
I'm gonna try the 60-watt lightbulb in a glass of water.

Look at cooking instructions for something microwaveable, see how it has diferent times for 650W and 750W. Yes, thats their power.

mmmmmm, standard grade physics.

That makes less sense than I do... :confused: :p

The Terrorists Handbook is the way to go. It goes so far as to explain the (sometimes sketchy) theories behind the chemical reactions. And it tells you about vapourised particle bombs ;7. You get about 100% ignition as the vapour has a higher air-combustable ratio meaning all the combustables can react simultaneously.
Try going to: http://surf.to/theforum
They've got a whole 'Improvised Weaponry' section. Although last I checked they had a chemical quiz you had to pass in order to keep the rejects from posting.
-
You need to have a death wish to mess with 90% of that stuff. Most of those handbooks describe industrial processes which do not really work well in garden shed conditions. The chance of losing body parts is terrifyingly high, it really sounds cool when you're 15 but you soon realise it's not worth the risk.
I could've been killed a few years ago when me and some friends built a fertilizer bomb, we wanted to set it off in a forest which was out of the way and unlikely to attract attention. Thankfully I got the chemical proportions wrong because when I was running away I fell and hurt myself. I would easily have been in it's blast radius if it had worked. Trust me, it's not worth it. Go buy some fireworks or build a spud launcher :nod:
-
One would assume so, from the way half of these books give disclaimers every 5 words when describing how to play with potassium chloride...
Fertilizer bombs? Meh. Light a cow**** on fire and throw it frisbee-style. Practically the same, only more entertaining and less likely to embarass you when trying to explain lost limbs, etc.

This had better be the worst joke ever otherwise you need to re-examine your grasp of chemistry. You're totally in the wrong ballpark if you think the two are in any way similar. Perhaps that's a good thing :doubt:
Methinks this thread has said enough.
-
Interesting site.... :D :mad2: :D
-
I was joking. But evidently humor is lost on the sort of people who think **** bombs are cool.
An0n: Women, eh?:D
