Calcium Carbide Bomb


Calcium Carbide Bomb by The Jolly Roger

This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. Exercise extreme caution…. Obtain some
calcium carbide. This is
the stuff that is used in carbide lamps and
can be found at nearly any hardware store. Take a
few pieces of this
stuff (it looks like gravel) and put it in a glass jar with some

water. Put a lid on tightly. The carbide will react with the water to
produce acetylene
carbonate which is similar to the gas used in
cutting torches. Eventually the glass with
explode from internal
pressure. If you leave a burning rag nearby, you will get a nice

fireball!

    I’ve done this! If your not ready for it, a piece of the jar can slice your leg… I have the scar to prove it. Very dangerous and very cool.
