Each of us sometimes wakes up a little naughty man who wants to blow something up. For such purposes, firecrackers are best suited. Most people buy them, but it turns out that it's easy enough to make them yourself. How to make a firecracker? It turns out that it is very simple and affordable for any person.
Necessary materials
For our purposes you will need:
- Pliers.
- Blunt nail.
- Wire.
- Paper.
- Telescopic antenna.
- Eraser.
First step
Before you make a firecracker, you need to prepare all of the above materials. If you do this, it turns out that making your own firecrackers is not such a difficult task. First you need to break off a small piece from the telescopic antenna - about 3-6 centimeters. After this simple procedure, it is necessary to bend the antenna twice, and on the reverse side you need to wrap it in such a way that you could put some thing in the resulting tube.
Second step
After performing all the procedures indicated in the first step, it is necessary to perform a number of operations in order to make a firecracker with your own hands. It is necessary to cut off a rather small piece from the taken eraser (gum) with scissors. After that, you need to put this piece into the tube, be sure to the very end, which was bent.
Third step
The basis for the firecrackers is made. Now you need to get the pliers and crumble the head of the match from sulfur, collecting the powder on paper. Thus, it is necessary to scrape off all the sulfur heads from the box, because firecrackers need a lot of sulfur. Then it is necessary to crush the resulting mass into powder - and the filling for the firecrackers is ready. As you can see, indeed, the answer to the question of how to make a firecracker will be as follows: “Easy!”.
Fourth step
Next, you need to bend a piece of paper with sulfur in half and pour the obtained sulfur powder into the tube. Further, some advise you to take a rather thick wire and “bite” it with wire cutters, first vertically and then horizontally at a small distance from each “bite”. As a result of this, an additional charge of tiny iron pieces will be obtained, which must be filled up with sulfur in the tube. However, this advice can hardly be called reasonable, because when you launch such firecrackers on New Year's holidays or on another solemn day, you can not only be seriously injured yourself, but also endanger others. Therefore, it is better to skip this step.
Fifth step
With the help of a previously taken blunt nail, you need to ram the charge of the firecrackers (either just sulfur, or sulfur with iron impregnations). Just stick the nail in and start tamping. The main thing is to do it well, otherwise the explosion from a firecracker will be weak, without quite loud and expected sound effects. If it is well compacted, then you can blow up the firecracker even without sealing the "package". After tamping the sulfur, you again need to cut off a piece of the eraser and close the tube in the same way as on the previous side - this is what we did at the beginning of the conversation on how to make firecrackers.
Last step
You need to wrap the firecracker in a bag that remains to set fire. Do not forget to retreat to a safe distance so as not to harm your health!
