PYRO DETONATOR 2 igniter detonator fireworks pyrotechnics

Device which can detonate or ignite just about anything you want it to. Made for safe ignition of fireworks but with some skills you can make this fine case and put anything you want on the end of it.
Heres the link to the PYRO DETONATOR 1: http://www.instructables.com/id/Detonator-box-Ignition-box-Fireworks-Pyro-box/

Step 1 Getting started

So firstly these are the things you will need.

A hobby case, I used the one you see in the picture
A toggle switch with red cover
7.2 volt rechargable battery with plugs on the end (rc car)
Push switch (red)
Key switch (with keys)
Jack plug (not quite shore which one it is, you see it in the picture)
Jack plug socket with lock
pull ties (tiewraps)
Led with fitting
Drill
Isolation tape
Sticker maching
wire
30 meters of wire(more or less)

Just used your guide to make my own - great job

[sullivan99]

Quick Question: Can this system be used alone to fire a flash pot?
Much Appreciated

[skrubybubl]

Im not sure which one is the jack, and if anyone can
Please send a link where you can buy it
Thanks

[skrubybubl]

Also, What type of jack socket do you use?
Anyone answer please

[skrubybubl]

You could use a potato cannon, but remember that they are felonies in California, florida and several more

[skrubybubl]

Wait... What type of jack socket do you use?
Anyone answer please

[chry_cool]

Very smart Piece of kit !

[Flashmaster]

What is there to blow up? Wat can you use as an ignitable substance?

[MR.BOOM9897]

I was thinking on maybe testing it on firecrackers. just a thought

[DoomLaki]

the suger, the KNO3, provides the oxigen to make the energie containing suger ignite.

[owwio]

50% pottasium nitrate 50% molten sugar - let it go hard and lite it :P
make lots of smoke (but stand back, explodes 1st)

[MasterMind555]

Where the hell did you got the ''arm'' switch? Do they sell it in an electric store? Cause I would like to do it and like that my mother won't be able to say that I'm too near of my ''bomb'' lol

[sjoobbani]

radio shack, but they're $5 online they're cheaper, most electrical stores have them>

[PyromanX]

PLEASE help with the case!!! Cannot find!!!

[jvifun]

go to any hardware store

[MasterMind555]

If you really can't find one ( Like an old used case of something ) I guess you can build one with wood. Anyway for me the case is the last of my problems lol

[jvifun]

hi i was wondering i found a website where thej sell the batteries
they have a difference in mAh i dont know how much i need
nice guide
greetings joel

Ok quick question. Considering the modern day understanding that electricity (flow of electrons) comes out of the negative (black) side of the battery and goes through the load (in this case the switches and buttons etc) and returns back to the battery at the positive side of battery, here is my question....... Looking at the wiring schematic, if the electricity is coming out of the negative (black) side of the battery, then it appears that the first thing the electricity goes to in the circuit if the phone jack which has wires leading to the explosive. So, why is it that when you wire it like this, that the electricity can only flow to the explosive if you flip the switch and hit the momentary push button? Because, in my mind according to this schematic, if the only way to complete the circuit would be to turn the key on, flip the switch, and press the monentary button, then wouldn't the electricity HAVE to be coming out of the positive (red) side of the battery? If this question seemed confusing, someone just please explain to me EXACTLY where the electricity from this battery is entering the wires and EXACTLY where it is coming out of the wires and entering back into the battery. Thanks

[skicero]

Electricity only flows when there is a path for it to flow. And it flows pretty much instantaneously so, for all practical purposes, the direction of the flow does not matter. The electricity doesn't go right to the explosive jack because the circuit isn't complete, and thus there is no path for it to flow. You should read up a bit on Electronics theory. :)

[chemist71186]

No, I understand that. What I am saying is I would think that the current must be flowing in the direction that the key must be turned first, then the flip switch must be pressed, then the mom push button must be pressed for this thing to blow something up, right? The reason I say that is because if the current is "everywhere" at all times the circuit is closed, then this ignitor would blow something up without the key on or the flip switch flipped on right?

[rrrmanion]

no electrons can flow till they key is turned- the battery only has 1 terminal connected otherwise. then electricity will flow through the wire with the green led as there is another full circuit. next the arm switch must be pressed so electricity can flow through the green led still then as far as the fire switch. when that is pressed, the electricity flows through all parts of the circuit. and then... BOOM!!!

[chemist711]

HHHEEEELLLPPPP, can anyone answer my last post?

[chemist711]

HHHHEEELLLLLPPPP, Can anyone answer my post below please?

[themandon]

where can u go to get all the suppys?

[guitarcreator]

ive been trying to hook up more LED lights to the whole system so that there's one for every switch. i cant seem to get it right though. i can rig it up so that the lights come on whenever i have the toggle switch turned on and when the power switch is on but if i wire it up to the momentary switch button i need to have the button pushed down for the lights to come on. can someone please help me with finding a way to wire it up without changing the momentary switch? thanks.

[nerd12]

you should have done it the other way. the arm switch should not be covered and the fire switch is supposed to be covered.

[bowmaster]

I agree, it makes it both safer, and more BA.

[Purple Guy]

 Thats what I was thinking too :P
*Purple Guy*

[timhannah1988]

What LED did you use as surely it will blow under that volts etc

[programedfiles]

i think it would be nice if you added a led so when you "arm" the device the led is turned on

[owwio]

 How do i connect the jack socket?
It is audio not power.

And my key switch has 4 terminals. Y?

please help.

[owwio]

nvm sorted :P

[DurkaDurkaDie]

Yeah i have a question im new here and i was wondering do i have to incorporate the key switch?

[owwio]

if you wish, you can use just 1 switch. The 3 is for both safety and effect. With 1 switch, it is much easier to fire by accident.

[Arirox]

That Was Dumb Of Me I Need The Detinator Part To ignite it Any one no how to make it?????

[Patented]

do you really need a battery that big? 9 volt square battery would be alright no?

[mr_goodbytes]

dude, awesome detonator, check out mine

[ike4life]

What gauge wire do I need to use for this project? Also where can I get the actual electronic igniters to go on the end of the wire?

[jwilkes2007]

Sorry to bug you again I hate not being able to edit my comments as to not create more post just for one question. I was gonna use wires with alligator clips. People have been talking about steel wool Do you gotta use it? or can you just use alagator clips and attach the positive and negative to the firework? I get the whole connect with the audio wire being cut at the end so the wires are showing the positive and negative. less mess cause it is 1 plug a thick black wire and comes out as two nice. But Whats the best way to hook it up thanks for the hell.
