Potasium Picrate Explosives


        There are many ways of having fun with picolo petes.  The two most basic
ways are smashing the last 2 - 3 inches of the picolo pete real hard down with
a hammer, so after it is done whistling it will either take off like a rocket
or explode, depending on how good you smash it.  Now the second one takes a little
more detail.  This one if made with the proper equipment can detonate louder
than an M-80.  Take a 20 oz. coke bottle (1 liter)(these work the best because
they are the thickest and make the loudest boom.  Empty one picolo pete and
pour all the white powder from it into the coke bottle.  There should be a layer
at the bottom of the bottle( just make sure you get all of the powder out of
the picolo pete).  Now punch a hole in the cap of the bottle with a small nail.
Place the fuse from the picolo pete into the hole so it is half in and half out.
Then just screw on the cap really hard.  When you light it and the fuse reaches
the cap it will drop onto the powder, therfore igniting it and detonating the
explosive. Try this with a 3 liter soda bottle and fill the bottom 3 inches
with the potasium picrate(the white powder in the picolo petes).  This will
make the biggest boom you have ever heard garunteed.....trust me.....
