C02 Cartridge Bomb

Materials-
C02 Cartridges
Cannon Fuse (at least 4 inches; not required, you can make your own fuse)
Black Powder (gun powder)

Tools-
Drill w/ about a 1/8 inch bit
Matches

Instructions:


Take the drill and drill out the top of the cartridge, make sure you are not in front of the whole you are drilling because the compressed air will get in your face, and don't hold the cartridge in your bare hands unless you want your hand frozen to the cartridge (seriously, C02 is cold for you idiots). After you have made a hole big enough for your fuse, make a paper funnel small enough to fit in the hole, and use the powder you have selected to fill the cartridge until it is about 80% full.

Put the fuse into the hole that you just drilled, but make sure that the hole is big enough so that the fuse will still have enough oxygen when it is burning, or else it will go out; or, you can put random little holes all over the cartridge, or even one 1/6 inch hole somewhere.

The Co2 bomb has enough power to blow up a cinder block or a bucket 20 feet in the air.( Just make sure you don't blow any one's mail box up because that's illegal). Once you light the fuse, run like hell and watch it blow up. If you use black powder there will be a lot of smoke. You now have the power of about 1 1/2 M80's together.
