For this Intractable you will need:
*A Doorbell (duh)
*An SCR or Silicon-controlled rectifier (optional but highly recommended)
*Some Wire
*A Soldering Iron
*one single SMALL, key word SMALL firecracker.  (See picture for what I mean by small.  there's only a handful of standard sizes for
firecrackers and the smallest pack more than enough punch.
*A small 1 cell LiPo battery( < 300 mah) these can be found in rc toys and can also be found sold separately at hobby shops

Haha, in NYC we don't use the doorbell, just the battering ram.
Yeah, don't want to set your own house on fire.
