acetylene bomb

[seven7crossed]

alright, this is a very simple and very volatile explosive.

INGREDIENTS:

1 industrial sized garbage bag (small ones work too)
1 tank of acetylene (get it at homedepot or a hardware shop)
1 roll of toiletpaper
1 lighter
1 roll of tape (optional)

SETUP:

take the garbage bag and hold it around the top of the acetylene tank. when the bag is sealed off around the tank, begin to release the gas. once the bag looks like a balloon tie it off. *Make sure there are no leaks!*
now you have to take the toiletpaper and run a decent length of it on the ground. take one end of the paper and tie it onto the garbage bag. now get to the other end of the toiletpaper and light it. run like hell.

EFFECT:

very loud explosion followed by a strong shockwave. minimal fire so dont worry about stuff catching.


NOTICE:

I suggest being 1000 yards or so away from it when it goes off. anything less than that and you will go deaf for a week. any windows within that footage will most definitly blow out as well. also, when filling the bag do NOT have ANY open flame near it. its just a bad idea!


Have fun :lol:

[firetime27]

add pure oxygen it will be alot louder

[Temptation]

Holy fuck...how much are the tanks of acetyone or whatever? I fucking want to try this sometime it looks like a shit load of fun... 1,000 yards though...Shit thats a long ass way away..is it really that strong?

[kingbobisdead]

lol...shawn i was just thinking of doing this in the corn field...

i think i now have discovered the explaination for crop circles. :P

i have to try this, is their any way you could detonate this with a gun? im thinking i should attach this thing to a kite so it floats, put the whole contraption in a boat, tied down so that it can only go about 10ft up in the air. Then i take the boat to the middle of a pond/lake, jump out of the boat and swim to shore. once i reached shore could shoot the floating bag with a .22. BOOM!!!

[firetime27]

no you could strap one hell of a long fuse maybe 20 feet

[kingbobisdead]

so shooting it wouldnt work? does anyone know how i could rig it so that shooting it would set it off? :?:

[seven7crossed]

flaming arrow :)


as long as u get something that has fire to reach it it will detonate.

[firetime27]

possibly a tracer round though i doubt it.

[Temptation]

A bullet would most likely ignite it...

I've been hunting I'm almost positive it would work..but dont shoot it from too far away...

[titsmigee]

to shoot it and ignite it youd have to use a tracer round
regular bullets wont
do teh trick

[turtlesob]

how the hell does you going hunting make you know\ a bullet will ignite gas[/quote]

[Spirit of Diablo]

C'mon, acetylene is such great stuff, and the only thing you can think of, is to put it in a garbage bag?

That will result in minimal pressure buildup, if there is any. There might also just be a giant flame (giant flames are also fun, but not as much fun as explosions).

Since acetylene doesn't need any additional oxygen to ignite, I suggest putting it in a steel pipe, with a little added oxygen or nitrogen for a louder bang. You can just put a small sparkplug in the pipe to ignite the gas, and then the bomb will send metal shrapnel flying everywhere in quite a range.

[R.A.(Grim)]

i hope the bag floats after you

[Temptation]

Because me hunting means I know shit about guns more then a regular person, and you could probably use a regular round, a fucking streak of hott ass gasses and shit are coming out the back of it...you just cant be too far away you have to be closer to it...unless you do use a tracer because if you dont then all the gunpowder and shit in the round will get used up by the time it gets there and it wont be burning anymore...its possible though to use a gun....if not just make a fuse or use a tracer, whatever works for you....

[jakethesnake]

IF you could light it at all u would have to light it with a tracer round within 350yds before it is all"traced", and temptation there is NOT any hot gases hot enough to light ANYthing behind a bullet, if u knew anything about guns u would know that even a shotguns powder (which, the slowest burning propellant in ANY gun, is intended to "push" the shot and wad rahter than explode and "fire" a bullet) is completely burned up and used in under 18 inches of a comfined barrel.... not a safe lighting distance. the only powder that will shoot omething and burn slower is the old like 1900's BP that took about 30in to burn up.... a rifle ill most definately not like anything unless it sparks, no matter what u see in the movies.

[Ninjaofdeth]

ummm....an rpg would work, obviously. ha, actually, im guessing the rpg would be more fun than the actuall ballon bomb type thing. so fuck wasting the rpg. make a potatoe cannon but like have some sort of delay round instead of a potatoe and do some math, then shoot it and boom. but honestly.....flamming arrow would be the coolest. or hell, light a rock on fire with napalm, wear some earplugs and throw as far as you could.. it would be like a game kinda. or, damn....that could be an intense game of flamming golf.

[Fate]

Contrary to popular belief you do not need a tracer to get a trash bag full of acetylene going. Any reasonably powered rifle will do - I've seen plenty do it with simple ball ammo out of a .223.

[Geekpower2000]

Uhh no because a bullet doesnt carry fire it only carries heat i dont think that it would work that way.

[Geekpower2000]

And they dont make ball ammo for .223 from what ive seen. i could be wrong post a link for where i can see one and ill believe you.

[Geekpower2000]

I think if you need to be that far away then rig a solar fuse to a battery powered alarm clock then just wait for the timer. a good d-6 rocket engine will be able to give you the fire you need to light that sucker up.

Holy Shit! This Is Dangerous Off The Bullshit!!! A Couple Of My Dads Friends Did This At Their Work (bored Engineers) Filled A Contractor Garbage Bag With The Stuff And It Shook The Fucking Building... You're Flirting With Disaster Man...

The God Damn Static From Your Hands Can Set It Off.. = Kill Your Self.. Have Fun

[pyro cracker]

add pure oxygen it will be alot louder

my shop teacher in high school said that the oxygen would set off the acetylene, is that true?

[[ g h o s t ]]

It won't 'set it off' but it means you have an extre***y dangerous and volatile mixture which will explode at the slightest provocations. Avoid.

[deadlycity]

.... when u weld you use acetylene and oxygen

Just because you've been hunting doesn't mean that you know more about guns than a "regular" person... You may know more about how to operate a gun, but I'm fairly certain that you haven't studied the physics of guns and ammunition.

[xplosive_cooker88]

.... when u weld you use acetylene and oxygen
der you use oxygen w/ acetalyene...thats why its called oxyacetalyene welding. it makes a flame approx. 5,600 degrees F

i took metals shop for the 4 years i was in highschool and know quite a bit about gasses...its not voltile, its stable until you put a spark to it

true when you think about it...thats why you hear about grain silos xploding. the dust created in them is like a giant dust bomb waiting to go off....lol

Okay then, you you'd be happy to walk around for 1 day with a garbage bag full of EtYne/O2 tied to you for the whole day?

Thought not.

[A Deo et Rege]

If you could drop the temperature low enough to condense the gas into a liquid and add liquid oxygen to it, it would multiply the explosive force exponentially; this mixture would be the most volatile.

man ghost what is up w/ the negativity? what you just said really doesn't make any sense...lol

[Picapacapopo]

Mixtures with air containing between 3% and 82% acetylene are explosive on ignition. The minimum ignition temperature is 335 °C.[4] The majority of acetylene's chemical energy is what is not contained in the carbon-carbon triple bond; that is, it is greater than that of three carbon-carbon bonds spread out, but is disallowed therefrom because of the spaces between its mate carbon and all other carbons likewise shielded in charge.

wow you know i think i mite try that... it sounds very easy to do and its just such a great idea! Ya bc liquefying gases without lab equipment isnt comlicated at all...why dont u give us intelligent suggestions like taht more often?

[Codey_TheStoner]

Once Again A Fucktard Idea if its so dangerous DONT FUCKING TRY it. Dont copy some dumbass who says i may kill myself with it anyways have fun with that i rather fuck around with my small pipe like bombs then kill my self with a ballon :D also if you do try it PLZ for your life's sake use a four-wheeler to run off even if you have long as fuse.:mad:

[Hellboy]

if you have both oxy and acet then you can dial in more fire = more acet
more bang =oxy (dun it, omg what fun!) as far as remote detonate maybe
get a marine type flare gun then take a mylar baloon filled with helium, displace a portion of helium with oxy/acet mix let it go airborn and ready,
aim, kableeeewwwweeeee!

[Bezelden]

so shooting it wouldnt work? does anyone know how i could rig it so that shooting it would set it off? :?:

if your wanting desperatly to set it off by shooting it you could tape a aerosol can to the bag. that would definatly set it off! however from that range you would need and hunting rifle and would have to be a good shot, cos if u missed it would cock the whole explosion up.

[Chode_Warrior]

is there an age limit on buying acetylene tanks in the United States? Anyone from Connecticut here who could tell me what it is in our piece of shit state.

[Metzgeweiser]

possibly a tracer round though i doubt it.

They tried that with a propane tank on Mythbusters. Tracer rounds only made the gas that came out look pretty

[Metzgeweiser]

true when you think about it...thats why you hear about grain silos xploding. the dust created in them is like a giant dust bomb waiting to go off....lol

A plastic bag won't set it off. The garbage bag doesn't transfer static electricity. That's why people who don't wanna blow the hell out of themselves making a pipe bomb wear one on their body.
