This is my explosive creation. Before some starts saying this isnt an explosive, let me tell you that it is. Those who dont care, skip to the next part with the explanation. Those who dont care about that either, check the pictures below.

The idea was to create something original as we could use our fantasy. So I was thinking, if you can put a fart on fire, enought of it would explode if the methane level and amount of air would be high enough. But nodody would produce that much and then I thought about a skunk and I looked a few thing up. The gas it produces is more explosive then methane. A fart contains methane, but the gas of the skunk is better then pure methane, so that would be ok. the amount goes up to a max of 15cc (not in one spray). Thats not enough top blow up a room. But to make methane explosive you need 5 - 15% in the air. But skunk gas is better, so a lower level will do. But lets say 5% and the skunk gives us 10cc, that means that with 200cc of air we can get an explosion with a single spark. Air is in the bag, the skunk does sprays in it and the flame will trigger the explosion. So it is an explosive device!

how it works



1: the skunk, 2: a bag, 3: candle, 4: poker, 5: lock, 6: device to create spark, 7: wick, 8: petrol

The candle is the timer. When lit, ropes will be burned over the flame. The first rope will activate what I call the poker. It pokes the skunk so that it does what its good at and fills the bag that is already filled with air so we get the explosive mixture. The second rope that will burn releases the tension on the lock that keeps the skunk in place (dont want to harm the creature) so it can get out. The last rope makes the spark device ( dont know the english name for it, welders use it to ignite there torch.) to create a spark and therefor put the wick putted in petrol on fire. The wick goes under the bag, so as soon as the flame burns a hole in the bag we get a bang.
If you want a bigger explosion you need several pokers...



It wont blow a hole in the world, but give you a big scare and if you stand to close some burning injuries.
I havent tested it, so if you want to try it, be careful and let me know if it works...
