How to make a bomb out of household items

This guide will show you a few ways you can make a bomb out of items easily found in most houses. If your house doesn't have these a trip to home depot or wal mart should make up for that.

Acetone Peroxide
Acetone Peroxide is an explosive made with 2 easy to get ingredients. Be careful doing this because AP is a highly volatile and unpredictable.

Chemicals needed
  • Acetone
  • Hydrogen Peroxide
  • Muriatic Acid (If you don't have this around go to a pool store)

Items needed
  • 2 Glass Jars
  • Measuring cup
  • Old T shirt or rag

How to make it
1-First you wan't to Measure out 650mL of Acetone.
2-Now Measure out 1000 ml of Hydrogen peroxide.
3-Put both of these in a jar stir and mix them together well.
4-Put this mixture in your freezer for about 5 minutes.
5-Get your second jar and measure out 500 mL muriatic acid.
6-Cover the jar and put it in the freezer for an hour or 2.
7-Once you take it out mix this and the hydrogen peroxide/Acetone mixture together.
8-Put this new mixture in the freezer for 24 hours and you should see a white substance at the bottom of the jar. This is the AP.

Molotov Cocktail
The Molotov cocktail is an extremely easy to make incendiary device you can make at home.

What you need
1-Glass bottle
2-A rag
3-Gasoline
4-Motor oil
5-Styrofoam (Optional)

How to make it
1-Fill the glass bottle half way with gasoline.
2-Fill 25% of the bottle with Motor oil
3-If you have the Styrofoam you can add this to the mixture as a thickening agent. This will cause it to stick to whatever you threw it at and it will make it burn longer.
4-Tie a rag or other piece of cloth around the neck of the bottle.
5-Soak the rag in gasoline of kerosene and throw it.

Sparkler Bomb
Even though you may not have sparklers laying around they are easily found and dirt cheap. For this one all you need to do is a buy a lot of sparklers. The more you buy obviously the bigger the explosion will be.

Wrap the sparklers together tightly with electrical tape. As a fuse you can use another sparkler that is sticking out of the bomb. The more safe way is to just go and get some cannon fuse. Light this and it will blow up.

    I plan on adding a few more things later tonight.

    YES DS! Great stuff, this is a good looking guide. I actually really want to make a molotov cocktail and may well end up using a guide from here to do it. Probably will attempt it as the summer rolls in and I get some spare time with a friend.

    Looking forward to seeing more.

    7-Once you take it out mix this and the hydrogen peroxide/Acetone mixture together.


    You should emphasize that the acid be added SLOWLY.

    If one can resist the urge to see a proper detonation, AP should be avoided unless you are in some kind of 1 in 1,000,000 situation where you need to make an explosive device and need a primary. Massive quantities of AP is just asking for trouble, so a primary is the only real "use" it has. Even worse is the fact that if you're not super careful in making sure it's not loaded with impurities, the primary makes the entire device as unstable as the AP is.

    People make it all the time, many have not lost limbs. I remember the old &T used to talk about it all the time because nitric esters were for whatever reason not doable by most members. But it really doesn't matter how good you think you are. Fuck around with AP enough times and you're losing something. Trained professionals have had it happen. Hell, trained professionals have lost fingers/limbs with far more stable explosives.

    Dire need only IMO. But, this IS bad ideas.

    I think with some stubbornness, nitric acid can be found. This would let the budding chemist make something far more stable and "entry level" like guncotton. One man's opinion, though. If you gotta scratch the curiosity itch, don't let me dissuade you.
