Some people just live too far from the ocean

Recommended Posts

I've seen that before... Repost, though its been a while.

I know I've seen scenes in the movies where dynamite gets lit up and tossed in the water and then BOOM but I always thought that was bullshit. I figured the water would extinguish the fuse...

I was thinking about what if the dynamite blew up before the dude had a chance to throw it? There wouldn't be anything left of him and the bridge would be in the water. :S

Mythbusters disproved it was even possible given the amount of explosives and a few other things..

Obviously, you never played with dynamite fuse as a child.:|

Ya know ya live too far from the ocean when you have to resort to extreme measures to find a wave.

Yeah, it's bs. Mythbusters did an episode on explosions and what it would take to get a surfable wave from one of them.


You aint ever gone fishin with explosives have you:ph34r::ph34r:


Which reminds me of the Cajun and the game warden going fishing... :D

Of course I have, I meant not playing with anything that could blow my hands off.

Geez whiz, I'm already fucking deaf. If I lose my hands, I'd REALLY be fucked. [:/]:D

Dynamite was never on my list of play-things, growing up, either. Probably, because I never had access to it!:D

Yeah, that too. :D Not to say that you couldn't make a bomb from something as simple as a little Drano, water and a piece of aluminum foil sealed in a 20 ounce plastic bottle and give it a good shake.

It will go BOOM within 30 seconds!! :o

Dammit, now I have the itch to try that... :S

A *really* fun thing to do, (to someone with good hearing), is to sneak up behind them and light a piece of dynamite fuse.>:(
Even people who have never *seen* it before, recognize the sound and jump like they just heard a rattlesnake.:D:D:D

I always heard it called cannon fuse. Green, little bit smaller than a 120v electrical cord. It's waterproof (the burn material has it's own oxygen supply) and will burn under water.

Fun stuff:)

Cannon fuse, aka visco fuse, is simply black powder wrapped in threads, with a coating applied to the outside of it. The diameter of the fuse and quality of the coating determine if it is water proof or not. If you wish to make visco fuse waterproof (you aren't sure if it is, and don't want to risk it) simply apply a few wraps of electrical tape. After the fuse is burning and the flame enters the tape, it won't go out.
Here is a cool video of a large bottle rocket being lit in a hole in a frozen lake, you can see it zooming around under the ice.

yep thats the stuff, and if you wanna make a big boom, go to a army navy or outdoorsy store and get some XXX black power, a few 6 in pieces of pvc pipe, pipe cement and a drill, the rest is up to you to figure out, done right itll make a hell of a boom. :D:ph34r:;)

A friends dad owned a mine and Robbie used to steal explosives and use them to blow up neighbours mail boxes (we were about 14 at the time). It came to an end when Robbie decided to show a couple of friends the effect of dynamite in a swimming pool. The blast caused a crack in the swimming pool structure causing $1000's of damageB| I don't think he could sit for a month. He was mad as a hatter - we also made "shotgun" jeans which were the rage at the time - problem was we hung our jeans on his moms chicken run:D

Uh you might mention to drill first. and keep the hole sized to the fuse.. THEN put in the powder... also not a bad idea to make sure you are grounded while handling the powder to make sure there is no static electricity.



Don't forget, the formula is P for Plenty.

You forgot to add a good attorney to your "ingredients list". Homemade explosives tend to attract the attention of law enforcement.

And that includes the BATF. Who have a history of being a tad agressive going after folks who may (or may not) have done anything they don't like.
