Popsicle Stick Bomb

Popsicle Stick Bomb
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.

The pressure/tension between the sticks causes them to explode when they are pushed over the limit.
