How To Make Reliable, Safe Fuses
|
|
|
|
The following was taken from the file SHURMAN.TXT. Here, The TazIranian

|
Devil attempts to tell you how to make a fuse. Check it out:

Fuses
|
|
|
|
Supplies Required:
|
|
|
|
Potassium Nitrate
|
|
White Sugar
|
|
Soft cotton string
|
|
Soap
|
|
|
|
1. In a small bowl, fill it up with soapy hot water and let the cotton
|
|
soak into this solution for about 10 minutes.
|
|
2. In a second glass, fill it was two parts hot soap water and mix one
|
|
part Potassium nitrate with one part sugar.
|
|
3. Let it soak for about 1 hour and take out the string and let it dry
|
|
and its done.
|
|
4. These fuses ain't as good as you will probably think but they will
|
|
work. If you want to get a good fuse and don't want to make these
|
|
type, just go to the grocery store and get sparklers for birthday
|
|
parties. These are cheap and much safer and reliable.

Well, at least he admits that these fuses don't work well! In truth, I have
|
|
tried this method and it was a big disappointment. Here is my recipe for
|
|
a very reliable and safe fuse... and it's much easier to make then the one
|
|
above!
|
|
|
|
Materials Needed:
|
|
|
|
- A cup or jar
|
|
- Potassium Nitrate
|
|
- Soft Cotton String
|
|
|
|
1. Put some Potassium Nitrate into the cup.
|
|
2. Add a little hot water to the cup and then dissolve the Potassium
|
|
Nitrate.
|
|
3. Try not to add too much hot water to the cup, since we want the
|
|
concentration of Potassium Nitrate in the cup to be as high as possible.
|
|
4. When all of the Potassium Nitrate is dissolved (or there is just a few
|
|
crystals left on the bottom) submerse your soft cotton string in the
|
|
solution. Leave it submersed for an hour or so.
|
|
5. After an hour or so, take the string out and let it HANG DRY! Don't
|
|
put it on anything, have it hang from something.
|
|
6. When dry, cut a piece off with scissors and light it. It will take a
|
|
couple seconds for it to catch, but once it catces it will burn
|
|
continuously.
|
|
7. The best thing about this fuse is that it burns slowly, allowing you to
|
|
get away from the stuff you are igniting. But it doesn't burn too slow
|
|
that it goes out.
|
|
|
|
If you really want to make a superb fuse, add some finely ground charcoal
|
|
to the Potassium Nitrate solution. Not too much, just enough. It won't
|
|
mix too well, but try to get some of it into the solution and then add your
|
|
string. Or you can sprinkle some charcoal dust on the string after you
|
|
take it out of the solution just before you hang dry it. Either way, the
|
|
added Charcoal will provie extra feul for the Potassium Nitrate to oxidize
|
|
(burn up). If you add the charcoal, I have found that the fuse burns better,
|
|
and it doesn't go out very easily when the wind blows on it (more reliable
|
|
then a match!).
