Mercury Detonator

[Noah420]

Hello all, new to forums, I like what you've got going on here.

I've had this idea in my head for a few weeks now, for a mercury detonation switch.

Basically take a thermometer, drill two very small holes in the top, opposite of each other, of course.

Insert a piece of wire into each side, so as they do not touch, seal with RTV silicon, or something similar.

When the mercury reaches the two points, it completes the circuit going to the actual detonation device. Assuming it is triggered via electricity.

Good for use on the exhaust system of a car, or for over-night placement, assuming the temperature will rise when the sun comes out.

Do not arm the device until after the mercury switch is installed, as an accidental tip of the tube might just blow you into small, unidentifiable pieces, assuming the device is powerful enough.

Drill the holes in thermometer tube according to the temperature you would like it to activate at.

Does anyone like this idea?

seems pretty dodgy i would rather rely on cell phone detonation.

but seems like a nice idea for a car or something but i think that come across as your trying to hurt or kill some one..

might wanna change that

Yeah, thats a bomb.

Thing i don't like about all these explosives with timers, mines, cellphones, and this one, is that if they fail to go off, it'll leave you with the dangerous job of disposing of the explosive. Or that they'll go of by small errors.
