explosions for minitures****

**somedude** · April 20th, 2000, 01:35 AM

What are some good ways of making nice firey explosions to iraticate a model. the more mixtures you can through at me the better. I have experimented a littel and the best thing i found around my house is you shave off the striking tips of lots of matches, and then contain them in a foil caseing. this works pretty well, but there is probably something better... thanks....

I exploded one of my miniatyre cars by placing gunpowder under and inside of it and it looked pretty good when i ran it on slowmotion.

I have downloaded a wealth of bomb making info from the net. Do you have access to a school/college lab?
I will look for safe mixtures.

No I'm not dangerous.

I may have access to a college lab because my mom works at a college(not a chemist or any thing..damn), but if you could post some stuff about mixture and such that would be cool. and where can i get gun powder?(pry apart bullets, sounds dangerous) thanks..

You can buy powder on its own from gun shops. Even here in England.

Mix sulfuric acid and nitrogen acid and then dip some cotton in it. That should explode well, but i haven't tested it by myself so i can't say is it good or bad explosive..it also could be very dangerous so be careful :-)

just get one of those dixie cups, and put some lighter fluid in it. a small firecracker set inside, making sure that the fuse doesnt touch the liquid, and boom! lotsa flame.
