hey what’s up guys welcome back now in a
previous video I showed you how we can
take those little party poppers and
convert them into an extremely powerful
confetti cartridge these are basically
just water bottles charged with hydroxy
gas packed tight with colored dots
punched out of construction paper and
held in place with fire resistant party
streamers I got from the dollar store if
we try touching an open flame to the
streamer you can see it really doesn’t
burn and that’s good because we’re going
to have a live match going off inside of
there you can see that no matter what
direction the bottle is in for the most
part the confetti stays near the top and
that’s what we want now for this video I
thought it’d be fun to make a tripwire
trigger board for setting these things
off remotely or safely from a distance
this is the basic idea of how our
tripwire trigger board is going to work
simply remove the safety switch position
the trigger any direction you want when
this switch gets tripped that’s when all
the fun begins it’s quite a bit easier
to make that it looks so let’s dive
right in and I’ll show you how for our
booby trap mounting board I went to the
hardware store and found a scrap piece
of pine common board and cut it so it’s
8 inches long and 5 inches tall now if
you want to get fancy just throw it on
your wood router and route the edges
that gives it a really clean and
professional look and if you want to go
the extra mile you can even give it a
camouflage paint job that just makes it
look really clean and professional
wherever you put it now for
functionality I’m going to start off
with our lantern battery I’m going to
place it right in the center of the
board here but before we secure this in
place it’s a good idea to take our
trigger mechanism and make sure that
there’s enough clearance to clear that
lantern battery because this will give
us the option to place it down up or
even sideways depending on what setting
and what use we’re going to use it for
aside from that we’re bringing back the
hydrogen generator to split water into
hydrogen oxygen gas filling up a water
bottle and mounting all these components
to this board so let’s go ahead and put
it all together now
[Music]
now you’re going to need some kind of an
insulated copper cord I just went down
to the thrift store and bought a cell
phone charger for about a dollar cut the
head off split it down the center and
just like that we’ve got two insulated
copper wires that would be perfect for
this project okay that looks pretty
awesome using one of the bottle caps I’m
going to rig up a system that allow us
to easily swap out igniters so the
system will be reusable and you won’t
have to keep hot glueing measures and
every time you use it the way to do that
is to poke a small hole through the cap
run both wires and then hot glue it from
both sides and we’re going to hot glue
the wires as well so they keep a little
bit of a distance from each other and
they don’t accidentally short out inside
the bottle I’m also going to be using
some of these homemade igniters we made
in one of our rocket projects it uses a
match and one thin wire to ignite with
electricity and all triggered by one of
these clothespin trip wire mechanisms
that I’ll show you how to make another
future project so theoretically this is
how the system is going to work we’ve
got a six volt lantern battery that can
set off a match by itself but we’ve
rigged it up with the circuitry so that
our two broken circuits as long as this
circuit is open there’s no way that
match can light but once we close that
the only switch left waiting to be
activated is the clothespin when the
centerpiece gets pulled out these
electrical contacts will slam shut
shooting electricity through the igniter
which will flare up light off the gas
and make a surprisingly powerful
explosion which will make a huge mess
that somebody’s going to have to clean
up now if you’ve ever used a firearm you
know there’s a safety feature that will
block you from pulling the trigger
prematurely in the same respect I’ve
added a safety feature to this where a
pin has to be pulled out first before
you can actually initiate the tripwire
from here all we have to do is remove
the cap insert the igniter set it in the
system and it’s pretty much charged and
ready to go at that point
so now that we’ve got this beautiful
contraption built there’s a lot of
different ways that we can integrate it
in fact the imagination is probably your
only limitation you could use it
anywhere one of these worked up in a
break room works great for pranking one
of your fellow employees Rick this
contraption through the microwave hide
it in the wastebasket and when they go
to grab their lunch they’re going to be
in for a majors another idea is to mount
this contraption on the doorframe in the
bathroom or some other room that doesn’t
get used very often use something like
double-sided sticky tape to stick it to
the wall rig the fishing line to the
back of the door and very carefully set
the trigger the next time someone walks
through that door unsuspectingly they’re
probably going to end up making a huge
mess of their own
[Music]
the guys it’s important to remember this
is actually a really really dangerous
project these are not the kind of pranks
you want to play on your coworkers these
are more the kind of jump-scare pranks
you’d play on me but this concept could
easily be adapted to make a trip wire
alarm and airsoft grenade you could use
this system to light fireworks safely
from a distance or even make a zombie
perimeter breach so you get a heads up
on when they’re coming so there you have
it guys that’s how to make a booby trap
tripwire trigger board stay safe and
I’ll see you in the next project video
talk to you then I forgot my earplugs
dang it
hahahaha that hurt a lot
