This is a very simple project that will cause a lighter to either explode or shoot somewhere. All that is required for this project is a cheap plastic 50 cents lighter with an adjustable gas height switch.
Sorry I don't have pictures of me doing this. As you can tell from my other instructables, I don't like to post things that I don't have proof of doing myself, so you'd know that all my things are "Billy tested, mother approved". Its just that being in a dorm now, they are a lot more strict then at home, and they probably would not approve of setting fires in front of the building. Not only that, but the 911 call center for all of NYC is the next building over, and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't approve, they don't even allow people on the sidewalk in front of that building. So I guess the best thing that I can give you is my word that Ive done this project many times, its fun, and actually relatively safe compared to the other things I've posted.

Signing UpStep 1Prepare the lighter
Remove the metal cover for the lighter. Underneath it should be the flame adjust switch, it is a plastic ring around a plastic piece screwed into the top of the lighter. Unscrew the plastic valve until you hear gas leaking out of it, without having to hold down the button. Make sure the gas leaking out is just a trickle, otherwise the lighter will loose too much gas for anything to happen. Spark the lighter once, it should ignite the gas leaking from the valve, and instantly drop the lighter on the ground OUTSIDE. After maybe half a minute, the flame from the leaking gas will melt through the plastic on the side of the lighter. The gas from the chamber will then escape out over the flame, ignite, and either cause the lighter to explode or propel it along the ground a few feet.

matches are fun and so is fire =Þ =)
Dynamite: Mix nitric acid and glycerin. its gonna become nitroglycerin. Soak paper in that, wrap it up, put it in one of those small plastic water bottles. Poke a hole through the cap, get a string trough it, and set it off. Its fun. :)
hair bleach frozen and ice crystals filtered out(hydrogen peroxide,65 percent)
battery acid boiled until white fumes appear
ice bath
first pre-cool all chemicals put em in the freezer for a while.
second, measure out 50 ml acid.
third, measure out 50 ml acetone.
fourth,measure 150 ml peroxide.
ADD THEM TOGETHER DROP BY DROP ONLY! I am not responsible if you get blown up because you didn't do it right. oh, and only do this while the container you're using to mix in is in the ice bath.
next, put them in the fridge for 36 hours. at this point, synthesis is complete.
next, you need to filter the mix to get the crystals.
next, neutralize the acetone peroxide(the explosive) with a saturated solution of baking soda in water by pouring it over the AP. then clean the AP with warm water to get all the baking soda out. then squeeze all the water out and place it in a COOL I repeat COOL place to dry. the finished explosive is very friction and flame sensitive. store it underwater in an open container at all times. be careful! a little goes a long long way.
ANFO is an extremly stable explosive requiring a huge force to set it off.
a standard blasting cap may not work. the jolly roger talks a load of shit sometimes.
also you need less diesel than that ANFO
napalm
lighter bomb (duh)
dry ice bomb
(those were all the mildly safer ones)
but be more specific
