Electronic Detonator

Step 2 Create the power supply

Because this is one of the simplest steps I put it first.

Steps:

1. Cut 2.5 feet off the end of the intercom wire.
2. Strip 1" off each end of each of the 2 wires.
3. Connect one of the stripped off ends of the wire to the 9v battery clip. You can connect the wires like I demonstrate in the crummily drawn diagram.
4. Snap the 9v battery clip onto the 8 AA holder.
5. Unscrew the 1/8" mono plug, slide the black plastic piece onto the other side of the 3ft section of intercom wire, connect the 2 stripped wire ends to the mono plug (make sure they dont touch each other, you can separate them with a piece of electrical tape), slide the black plastic piece over the connection you just made and screw it back onto the plug.
6. Put the batteries in their holder.

When you are done you should have something that looks like the 3rd picture below.

do you really need the intercom wire,speaker wire,or nichrome wire,or can you use regular wire?

[henkow]

Nichrome wire you definately need. When you put electricity through it the little dwarves light fires inside it and it gets really hot. Thats whats setting off your charge. Although if you use plastic explosive then you do not need nichrome wire, just jam the alligator clips in to it, tho dont expect to get them back. Infact if you want to use plastic explosive, use a wireless detonator and stand back properly. Unless you kno what your doing its hard to estimate the blast radius

You sure there isnt any...alternative to nichrome? Some other kind of wire?

[pastaking]

If you can pump enough power through it, 1amp fuse wire glows

[zombiehunter96]

haha, the little dwarves light fires XD Are they related to the elves in the fridge who turn off the light? XD

[dudejetfighter]

and the elves are related to the fairies that steal your socks from the laundry dryer. Right?

[pyro man]

oops! acedentilly put speaker wire in there.ignore that

[jq112]

i was just wondering instead of nichrome wire would Cuprothal work???
coz i cant get nichrome
Cuprothal gets to 400 celcius

[SamuraiGhost]

Right. Do it this way: Solder the wires together and use heat shrink tubing. Only little kids put wires together like this. lol

[Tetranitrate]

Did you read the part about how I made it years ago when I was 13. I did however use the heat shrink tubing on it to seal the wires so I guess I had at least some sense.

"When you are dont" Right. Don't do it this way. :-)
