Blasting Caps
-Blasting Caps-
Blasting caps are a little better way of setting off and explosive.
They can give the
explosive a higher detonation velocity and are needed for
some higher explosives were a simple
rocket igniter won’t due. This is
kind of a mild version of a blasting cap. It does not pack
quite the punch
a regular blasting cap would. For one thing this will flash more or less
and an actuall blasting cap would explode or pop. All you need is some
paper, an estes model
rocket igniter, and again some paper caps. Take the
paper and cut off a peice about a square
inch..you can size it down as you go
along. COMPACT some caps into the peice of paper. Then
cup the paper so
that the caps are in a little ball like shape. Then insert the igniter
into
the middle of the cap ball and crimp the paper shut tightly. You should
place a
thin strip of tape right were the paper and the igniter meet to
keep it closed and compact.
Then you insert this into whatever your device
is and clip your detonating wires that run to
the detonator on it and boom
your done!
