I used to do that when I was a teenager. Put m-80's under a barrel and they would really go up quite far.

My uncle used to fill large trash bags with oxygen from his torches then set it off with a cigarette at the end of a long rod. It was mostly just a big boom though. Scary though when you're a kid.

Our thing was pop can guns. My grandma lived kind of by a hill side, and if you went down the hill a bit, you could find the old style tin cans that they used for pop and beer. We'd gather a bunch of them up, cut open both ends with a can opener, all except for one can, which got a hole in the bottom center for the fuse....tape them up with duct tape, squirt lighter fluid down the chamber, give it a few twists, then either shoot flames out it, or load it with a potatoe and shoot it at something... fun fun!!

Haha. We used to charge up an old automoble condenser with a cattle shocker when I was a kid. As long as you didn't touch the condeser and the wire at the same time, you could handle it without being shocked. We used to pitch them to someone and when they would catch it,they would get a jolt. Lol

Here is something else you can do with flash circuits from disposable cameras. I am running this circuit off of a single AA battery. Because it is a Joule Thief circuit, you can run it from "dead" batteries that others throw away. (Usually at.9 volts they are considered dead by most electronic devices)

I live in a small apartment and all of my lights, except 1, are JT circuits powered by dead batteries I get free from folks that were going to throw them away. I still have buckets of batteries left. I am no environmentalists but, when you don't have a lot of money, you do what you can...and if that helps saving some live batteries from the landfill, so much the better. Bill |
