Fuses brought to you by The Jolly Roger
You would be surprised how many files are out there that use what
falls under the category of a "fuse." They assume that you just
have a few lying around, or know where to get them. Well, in some
parts of the country, fuses are extremely hard to come by... so
this file tells you how to make your own. Both fuses presented
here are fairly simple to make, and are fairly reliable.
SLOW BURNING FUSE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (approx. 2 inches per minute)
Materials needed:
- Cotton string or 3 shoelaces
- Potassium Nitrate or Potassium Chlorate
- Granulated sugar
Procedure:
- Wash the cotton string or showlaces in HOT soapy water, then
rinse with fresh water
- Mix the following together in a glass bowl:
1 part potassium nitrate or potassium chlorate
1 part granulated sugar
2 parts hot water
- Soak strings or shoelaces in this solution
- Twist/braid 3 strands together and allow them to dry
- Check the burn rate to see how long it actually takes!!
FAST BURNING FUSE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (40 inches per minute)
Materials needed:
-Soft cotton string
-fine black powder (empty a few shotgun shells!)
-shallow dish or pan
Procedure:
- moisten powder to form a paste
- twist/braid 3 strands of cotton together
- rub paste into string and allow to dry
- Check the burn rate!!!

Under water igniters by The Jolly Roger
Materials needed:
-Pack of 10 silicon diodes (available at Radio Shack. you will
know you got the right ones if they are very, very small glass
objects!)
-Pack of matches
-1 candle
Procedure:
- Light the candle and allow a pool of molten wax to form in the
top.
- Take a single match and hold the glass part of a single diode
against the head. Bend the diode pins around the matchhead so that
one wraps in an upward direction and thensticks out to the side.
Do the same with the other wire, but in a downward direction. The
diodes should now be hugging the matchhead, but its wires MUST NOT
TOUCH EACH OTHER!
- Dip the matchhead in wax to give it a water-proof coat. These
work underwater
- repeat to make as many as you want
How to use them:
When these little dudes are hooked across a 6v battery, the diode
reaches what is called breakdown voltage. When most electrical
components reach this voltage, they usually produce great amounts
of heat and light, while quickly melting into a little blob. This
heat is enough to ignite a matchhead. These are recommended for
use underwater, where most other igniters refuse to work. ENJOY!

Delay Igniter from a Cigarette by the Jolly Roger
A simple and economical (everyone wants to save money haha) time
delay can be made with a common cigarette.
Materials Required:
------------------
Cigarette
Paper match
String (shoelace or similar cord)
Fuse cord (improvised or commercial)
Procedure:
---------
1) Cut end of fuse cord at a slant to expose inner core
2) Light cigarette in normal fashion. Place a paper match so that the had
is over exposed exposed end of fuse cord and tie both to the side of the
burning cigarette with string.
3) Position the burning cigarette with fuse so that it burns freely. A
suggested method is to hang the delay on a twig.
Note: Common dry cigarettes burn about 1 inch every 7 or 8 minutes in
still air. (Now I am talking about all except American brands, which burn
about 1 inch every 4-5 minutes) If the fuse cord is place one inch from
the burning end of the cigarette a time delay of 7 or 8 minutes will
result.
Delay time will vary depending upon type of cigarette, wind,
moisture, and other atmospherc conditions (get to know your cigarette!)
To obtain accurate delay time, a test run should be made under
"use" conditions.

Dried Seed Timer by the Jolly Roger
A time delay device for electrical firing circuits can be made using
the principle of expansion of dried seeds.
Material Required:
-----------------
Dried peas, beans, or oter dehydrated seeds
Wide-mouth glass jar with non-metal cap
Two screws or bolts
Thin metal plate
Hand drill
Screwdriver
Procedure:
---------
1) Determine the rate of the rise of the dried seeds selected. This is
necessary to determine the delay time of the timer.
a) Place a sample of the dried seeds in the jar and cover with
water.
b) Measure the time it takes for the seeds to rise a given height.
Most dried seeds increase 50% in one to two hours.
2) Cut a disc from thin metal plate. Disc should fit loosely inside the
jar.
NOTE: If metal is painted, rusty, or otherwise coated, it must be scraped
or sanded to obtain a clean metal surface
3) Drill two holes in the cap of the jar about 2 inches apart. Diameter
of holes should be such that screws or bolts will thread tightly into
them. If the jar has a metal cap or no cap, a piece of wood or plastic
(NOT METAL) can be used as a cover.
4) Turn the two screws or bolts through the holes in the cap. Bolts
should extend about one in. (2 1/2 cm) into the jar.
IMPORTANT: Both bolts must extend the same distance below the container
cover.
5) Pour dried seeds into the container. The level will depend upon the
previously measured rise time and the desired delay.
6) Place the metal disc in the jar on top of the seeds.
How to use:
----------
1) Add just enough water to completely cover the seeds and place the cap
on the jar.
2) Attach connecting wires from the firing circuit to the two screws on
the cap.
Expansion of the seeds will raise the metal disc until it contacts the
screws and closes the circuit.

Igniter from Book Matches by the Jolly Roger
This is a hot igniter made from paper book matches for use
with molotov cocktail and other incendiaries.
Material Required:
-----------------
Paper book matches
Adhesive or friction tape
Procedure:
---------
1) Remove the staple(s) from match book and seperate matches from
cover.
2) Fold and tape one row of matches (fold in thirds)
3) Shape the cover into a tube with striking surface on the inside
and tape. Make sure the folder cover will fit tightly around the
taped match heads. Leave cover open at opposite end for insertion
of the matches.
4) Push the taped matches into the tube until the bottom ends are
exposed about 3/4 in. (2 cm)
5) Flatten and fold the open end of the tube so that it laps over
about 1 in. (2-1/2 cm); tape in place.
Use with a Molotov Cocktail:
---------------------------
1) Tape the "match end tab" of the igniter to the neck of the
molotov cocktail.
2) Grasp the "cover and tab" and pull sharply or quickly to
ignite.
General Use:
-----------
The book match igniter can be used by itself to ignite flammable
liquids, fuse cords, and similar items requiring hot ignition.
CAUTION: Store matches and completed igniters in moistureproof
containers such as rubber or plastic bags until ready for use.
Damp or wet paper book matches will not ignite.
