Match Bombs
by Brian
You should be very careful when making eihter one of these bombs, and when you set them off throw them far away.
Ingredients:
1.Tennis ball
2.Sharp knife
3.A box of strike-anywhere-matches with the white tip
4.Scissors
Assembly: First you get the scissors and you cut off the heads of about 100 matches, you might need more so keep the supplies out. Next you cut a slit (not a hole)in the tennis ball. Then you open up the slit and pour all of the match heads in it until you can't cram any more in. To set it off all you do is throw the tennis ball hard against the ground and the matches will light each other, but since they have no oxygen it explodes.
Match Bomb #2
You should throw this bomb farther away then the first one.
Ingredients: 1.A metal pipe (about a foot long) with threads on both sides and with a cap on each side (you can buy this at your local hardware store)
2.Two boxes of strike-anywhere-matches
3.Scissors
Assembly:
First you put one cap on one sides of the pipe tightly. Then you cut the heads off of a box worth of matches, pour them all in the pipe until they are packed, but a little loose. All you do from here is tightly screw on the other lid and chuck the pipe into the air, over concrete (while it is mid air run). This bomb will blow up much bigger than the first one because it takes a lot more pressure to blow up a pipe than blow up a tennis ball so run far.
