Fireworks…
Discuss.
They rule especially in a frogs ( any small animals works) mouth or somewhere near it… not that I ever have. I did however make a bottle explode last summer and make shratnel if that counts not near anything of course just in the middle of no where. Any live in Ohio that can buy me some m180’s I’ll pay shipping =p.
It sucks when they all go off in your (my) pants pocket.
Yeah I never really had any good big ones, but I have made little explosives out of around the home items… * thinks what would I do without all my cannon fuse*
Good image editing program.
Yeah, I like it for simple vector modifications. Anything more complex calls for Photoshop.
…Owww?
You’re a terrible person!!
(:
Does anyone know how to make home-made fireworks? I think it would be a useful skill.
No, but I can make things that explode if that is what you mean =p.

Got have fuse though. You can get it at Pyrocreations.com Skylighter.com
I ordered some. Flying fish fuse is fun, you can cut it into bits and light it and it flys around.
You can make mines w/it too http://www.pyrocreations.com/flying_serpents just you need black powder.
Its sweet though fuse can be shipped anywhere in the us, unlike fireworks.
I made a little fire cracker and was keeping it in my pants pocket until I was ready to blow it up. It wasnt anything big, nor would it do any damage really, just be really loud.
Anyways, while I was waiting, me and Seras brother Zach are downstairs. Im playing the drums, Zach is on guitar. Somehow, my hand came down just right as I was doing a rimshot, and hit the fire cracker making it explode in my pants. It was so loud, and sounded just like a rimshot. Zach didnt know what happened until he saw smoke coming out of my left pocket and I laughing in shock and a small amount of pain.
GO fireworks!!
ok get some drain cleaner
sum aluminuim foil
and a glass beer bottle
and a balloon and
sum string
kerosene
put drain cleaner in bottle
put al-foil in balloon
put balloon neck (just the neck no more) on to the top of the bottle
let al-foil fall into the bottle
wait for baloon to reach propper size (bigger is better)
you now have a hydrogen filled baloon
tie off baloon
soak string in KERO
attach string to baloon
light string and release
today in class we did glycerine and magnesium i think, which combusts and gives huge purple flames.
???kerosene??? is it american? i have not heard of it before
using electrolosiss I rigged up something that would make hydrogen and did the same although it took a long time for it to fill the ballon so i only did it once but still it was good
You’ll need:
-calcium carbide lumps (click here to buy 100g for ~$7)
-water bottle + bottle cap
-water
-candle(s)
-lighter
Directions:
-Place a few lumps of CaC2 into water bottle and set it on the ground in a fairly open area.
-Light candle(s) and position them on the ground a few inches from the bottle.
-Put some water into the bottle and screw on the cap.
CaC2 + 2 H2O -> C2H2 + Ca(OH)2
(i.e. calcium carbide + water = acetylene)
acetylene, from wikipedia:
I also like the muriatic acid + aluminum foil explosions, but the lack of flame/fireball has bored me over the years. From my few years of messing with explosives & making ingredients (flash powder, black powder, etc.) I know a bit about making fireworks (diff. color explosions, ratios, timing, remote detonation, etc.) and also the dangers. I’ve had the good fortune to have never lost a finger or seriously harmed myself or anyone else, but it IS DEFINATELY possible. Research, research, research.
Have fun, be careful.
When I was in my teens, I knew a guy who was skilled with black powder and various types of containers. Today, he would probably get arrested for making bombs.
Best way to make a bottle bomb, Makes a lot of noise but does no damage.
Take a 2 liter bottle (pepsi, coke, etc etc.)
Plastic bag
Black powder or firework to get gunpowder out of
Fuse
Nail or small drill
1 Take the bottle, take the cap off.
2 Poke/drill small hole in the top of the cap, just big enough for the fuse to fit through.
3 Take the plastic bag and cut a 5"x5" square peice of plastic out of it.
4 lay the peice of plastic over the top of the bottle, and push it in with your thumb, NOT all the way in, just so it makes a pocket (big enough to fit all your gun powder)
5 pour gunpowder in plastic pocket, screw on cap tightly, Insert fuse through hole in cap and into the gunpowder.
Done! you have quite a noise maker.
OK the ingredients you will need are
-gas
-spray bottle
-candle
-any bottle or jar will do
-fuse or cloth anything like that
step one: Poke a hole in the jar put the fuse in and put wax around it.
step two: place gas into a spray bottle ( any kind perfume ect…) then spray into the bottle not a lot, but be generous be careful though to much and it will not work.
step three: place cap onto bottle tight let sit for a few moments light your fuse and run like hell (depending) if you really want to get interesting use a glass bottle filled with nails or whatever you got.
If you do this one be careful it is generally loud and dangerous and have fun!
Hey I have heard of these can you tell me how to make them.
