Imagine this. A great, inflated, green garbage bag
slowly wafting down from a tall building. It gains some speed
as it nears the ground. People look up and say, "What the....?"
The garbage bag hits! *BOOM!!!* It explodes in a thundering
fireball of green bits of plastic and flame!
"What is this?" you may ask. Well, this is the great
"Acetylene Balloon Bomb." And here is how to make it.
Ingredients:
============
(1> For a small bomb: a plastic bag. Not too big.
For something big(ger): a green, plastic garbage bag.
(2> Some "Fun-Snaps". A dozen should be more than enough.
(3> Some garbage bag twisties. String would also do.
(4> A few rocks. Not too heavy, but depends on size of
bomb and desired velocity of balloon/bomb.
(5> PRIME INGREDIENT: Acetylene. This is what is used in
acetylene torches. More on this substance later.
(6> One or more eager Anarchists.
NOTES:
======
Acetylene is a fairly dangerous substance. It is unstable upon
contact with oxygen (air). For this reason, and for your
safety, I recommend you keep all of the acetylene AWAY from any
source of oxygen. This means don't let it get in touch with
air.
Construction:
=============
(1> Fill up a bathtub with cold water. Make it VERY full.
(2> Now get put you garbage bag in the water and fill it
with water. Make sure ALL air/oxygen is out of the
bag before proceeding.
(3> Now take your acetylene source (I used it straight
from the torch, and I recommend this way also.), and
fill the bag up with acetylene.
(4> Now, being careful with the acetylene, take the bag
out of the tub and tie the opening shut with the
twisty or string. Let the balloon dry off now. (Put
it in a safe place.)
(5> Okay. Now that it is dry and filled with acetlene,
open it up and drop a few rocks in there. Also add
some Fun-Snaps. The rocks will carry the balloon
down, and the Fun-Snaps will spark upon impact, thus
setting off the highly inflammable acetylene.
*BABOOM!*
(6> Now put the twisty or string back on VERY tightly.
You now have a delicate but powerful balloon bomb.
To use:
=======
Just drop off of a cliff, airplane, building, or whatever. It
will hit the ground a explode in a fireball. Be careful you are
not near the explosion site. And be careful you are not
directly above the blast or the fireball may rise and give you
a few nasty burns.
Have fun!
But be careful...

Something very simple and easy is to use oxy acetylene torch, set the torch for a blue flame, extinguish and fill a ballon with the gas mix. This is the perfect ratio for an incredibly loud explosion with minimal fireball.
Use whatever source of remote ignition and prepare to go deaf.

That's simple lad;
Holding the bag underwater while placing the rocks in will prevent the gasses from mixing.
Practice with helium or something first though. You don't want to wake up in the Emergency Room with a few less fingers, after all.

CooCoo,
Ur a dumbass, I have played with acetylene on more than 1 occassion and this is not only viable but likely to work 80% of the time, the thing you seem to have over looked here is the fun-snaps, those little kids fireworks that you throw at the ground and the snap off creating, whats that? A SPARK!
your fail is epic and a disgrace to the hacker montra

ANYONE WOULD HAVE TO BE A COMPLETE RETARD TO ACTUALLY TRY THIS. PUT ROCKS IN THE BAG? LOL. WHY NOT FILL A GARBAGE BAG WITH NATURAL GAS AND PUT A CAP GUN INSIDE WITH A STRING ON IT! SERIOUSLY PHRACK, WHY PUBLISH THIS?

Someone should notice the release date of this issue before posting stupid comments.
This is a 1985 issue, and things were quite different back then. (WHAM...)
And the point of being destructive is the same as ever. Sticking it to tha man. Got that?
In the 80's there were loads and loads of people deserving an acetylene bomb in the face as well. Don't be impaired now...
Now go destroy something kids.

Do you people really want to build bombs? What's the point of being destructive?

Either tie the rocks to it, or put them beforehand.
Maybe oxyacetylenes is heavier than air?
That's possible, too.

I don't understand step 5 of the construction phase.
If we take so much care to prevent acetylen to meet oxygen, how should we open the bag full of acetylen in order to put rocks into it ? Opening the bag will make acetylen to meet oxygen.
I'm sure I've not understood something...
I will not try this.
