Maybe make it able to light a fuze by burning up a resistor, set off some fireworks demolition style!  :timebomb:

How about a thermite "emergency declassification" system for your hard drive, matey?  :laugh2:

You have no idea what you just did...... http://www.instructables.com/id/Thermite/

I have been meaning to order some of the raw materials for quite some time.

Military control panel thingy + Resistor ignition system + Thermite = A whole lot of fun my friend



edit: I tried to make some thermite a while back with aluminum shavings and purposely rusted metal, it worked but wasn't nearly enough for my enjoyment.

DAMN IT ADAM! I do what I want!  :angry:

If it is any consolation I have been researching proper amounts of Aluminum to Iron Oxide for quite some time, including the proper mixture the military uses in their hand held canisters.

Plus, I am going to build a proper control panel and ignition system to light it.....now just need something to burn  :dunno

I hope you won't be asking, "Am I missing an eyebrow?"


What to burn?  Do you have a PS3 that has given up the ghost?


Maybe an X-Box 360 that RROD'd.

He was just tall enough for it - but won't be in six months. You'll have to build a riser in a year or so.

I made it specifically for his height he is at now. It isn't going to be hard to add some feet to the thing every 6 months or so. His father and I play on it pretty comfortably sitting on the couch. Shouldn't be an issue as he grows bigger. Mind you he the size of a 5 year old at age 3.
