- - How to make an electronic detonator -
-
-
- This is very simple. All you really need to know is somthing
- about switches and l.e.d. lights. You can really use any kind of container.
- Finding the right one might be difficult. I used a 22 long rifle amunition
- case. These are clearish yellow plastic. They are relliable and sturdy.
- You will need:
- 4 "AA" bateries
- 2 "AAA" bateries
- 3 switches
- 3 L.E.D. lights
-
- You need to first make the saftey circut. Take two of the switches
- and the 3 led lights. Attach the led lights so that the two switches have
- to be on for the lights to go on. The 2 "AAA" bateries will be the power
- source for them. Here is a diagram:
-
-
- 2"AAA"____/______*______/________
- 1 1-----*-----1 1
- 1 1-----*-----1 1
- 1___________________________1
-
-
- * LED light
- / switch
- _ or - or 1 wire
-
- Now that probably does not make any sense at all. Then the detonation
- circut must be constructed. You use all 3 switches in this one. Take the
- two switches that you had for the above circut and the other switch so that
- all of them have to be switched forward or "on" to complete the circut.
- This will make sure that it is completely safe if the switches are turned
- off. Here is another sorry diagram:
-
-
- 4"AA"____/_____/______to explosive
- 1
- 1______/__________from explosive
-
- Here, mabye this will explain it better. The whole circut is made so that
- when you switch the first two switches the led lights will glow telling you
- that the detonator is armed. When you flip the final switch it will
- complete the circut detonating the explosive. I will use the simple Co2
- bomb as an example. You will need an igniter(the kind used to launch modle
- rockets) which can be found at you local hobbie store. Instead of inserting
- a fuse, place the igniter in its place. Attach the cables coming from your
- detonator to the igniter. Then flip the switches!!
