since glowsticks use a basic principle that
separates two reactive chemicals, this can be
applied to other chemicals. heck, even baking
powder and vinegar would explode under
pressure.
i envision a quiver full of lightweight,
relatively safe transporting explosives.
the applications are
endless.
Google on binary explosive.

by the way, what was the "Product: Bomb:
Happy" category for? it kinda worries me. i
imagine smiling shrapnel, eesh |
|
| |
Around ten years ago I bought a "Bomb Bag". It was a little Mylar packet with baking powder in it, along with a little capsule of vinegar. It was loud. |
|
| |
Don't rocket motors sort of work that way? |
|
| |
The "Product: Weapon: Bomb: Happy" category, tcarson, grew around devices that explode and make everybody happy (or at least distracted with something other than war), like something out of Stanislav Lem's The Futuorological Congress. (If you haven't read that, I recommend it, it's a funny and inventive story.) |

thanks [jutta] i'll have to see if i can find
that. |
|
| |
Can we call it a 'binary explosive'? It just sounds cool. ;) |
|
| |
i think the relevance to glowsticks is pretty well lost once the description is given. |
|
| |
problem: wouldnt it explode IMMEDIATELY after you mixed the chemicals? |
|
| |
sell them to Iraq? (ouch) |
|
| |
To maintain relevance to the original idea, how about mixing in with the glowing chemicals something that would outgas significantly (via something like bicarbonate decomposition) and something to promote foaming (so the expanding gas would be trapped in bubbles rather than just forming a large gas pocket)? Then one could have a gizmo that would expand like a waterballoon until it burst, spattering glowing stuff everywhere. |
|
| |
Not sure what that would be useful for, but it would fit the idea title. |

You've been playing Unreal Tournament
99 with the Chaos Mod haven't you? ;) |

//problem: wouldnt it explode

|
| |
Not if the explosion only occurred after
a certain amount of mixing, giving you
enough time to snap it, throw, and run
away terribly quickly. |
|
| |
[epicproblem], it wouldn't explode
immediately after the chemicals are mixed
because it would rely on pressure build up,
i gues i didn't quite explain that well
enough. that is why i mentioned baking
powder and vinegar. |
