Popsicle Stick Bomb

 by kneecaps
In this instructable i will show you how to create a popsicle stick bomb. this can be easily edited into a tripwire type of bomb, but i will make it into the type where you can throw something at it and it will "explode". or you could just throw the bomb itself. this is my 4th instructable please comment.

Step 1: Make A "V"

Ok this step is simple. you must take 2 popsticle sticks and place them in the form of a letter V. notice that the sticks are overlapping each other, make sure it is overlapping.

I made 5 bombs and threw them at my sister. LOL she screamed when they hit her. These make awesome pranks. Im using these for a school project, How to make essay.
Im planning to rig an empty locker and bathroom with a couple of these.

how the heck do they explode i dont get it but otherwise it looks cool
bassclarinet23 in reply to skater1182Dec 7, 2009. 3:57 PM
The pressure/tension between the sticks causes them to explode when they are pushed over the limit.

I threw one and it landed in another room in my house and popsicle sticks went everywhere.
