- H I G H T E C H D E T O N A T O R - Well here it is at last - the first =MAIM= production! I was sitting at home a few weeks ago, watching Beyond 2000 when this report on a new form of detonator which terrorists were using came up. Basically this detonator was triggered by a camera flash resulting in the expolsives it was attached to exploding, the reporter suggested that the advantages of this system was a) a terrorist could plant a bomb somewhere and trigger it off by taking a picture with his/her camera, and c) the detonator could be set up in place frequented by tourists, so that the next unsuspecting Jap tourist would set it off with his camera. After thinking about this for some time, I decided it would not be all that hard to do. EQUIPMENT Light Force or similiar type toy (basically one of those toy guns that come with the pack you were on your belt so you and your friend can run around shooting each other), you can pick these up for about $40 Australian. 9 volt battery Solar igniter (buy these in Victorian hobby stores, or make em out of match-heads and steel wool- this info. is in my other articles) 2 Alligator clips (electronic stores) METHOD 1. Take the belt clip-on pack from the toy kit- it should have LED's and crap on the front. Unscrew it and get rid of all the excess plastic. 2. Cut the wires leading to the speaker and dispose of the speaker. Hook up the 9 volt battery to one of the wires and attach the alligator clips to the end of both wires. *************** *************** ***Belt-pack*** ***circuitry*** *************** ***|******|**** | | | | | | | | | }@@@@@@@@@ | @Battery@ | [@@@@@@@@@ | | | | | | | | # # Alligator clips " " That's it! You've now got yourself a high-tech detonator. All you have to do is hook the alligator clips up to the solar igniter, which in turn is placed in your primary sensitive explosive, surrounded by secondary high explosives. The way this all works is that the rectangular sensor on the outside of the belt pack, when hit by the strobe of light from the light gun, would normally send the sound of being hit to the speaker. But this way it closes the power loop with the addition of the 9 volt step-up and causes the solar igniter to combust. The strobe in the gun that sends out the flashes of light are EXACTLY the same as the strobe from a camera flash, only less intense as they need to be able to rapidly recharge. This sort of system can be rigged up in many applications and is especially effective at night. A would-be terrorist could place the bomb and detonator inside a brief case with a small cut-away in the case to expose the strobe sensor. Or the whole system could be attached to a car with the strobe sensor hanging beneath the rear bumper. All it would take is a suitably positioned pedestrian or motorist with a camera to detonate the car-bomb. And to think that Beyond 2000 considered this a high tech advancement in terrorist explosive detonators! I heard an interesting rumour today that the C.I.A. plant false anarchy information so that would-be terrorists blow themselves up trying to make the stuff...somehow I doubt it though. .\\orbid .\ngel =MAIM= [DiE Trial] CaLL THe BeST aNaRCHY BoaRD iN OZ - aFFiLiaTeD CRiMe - Node 1 +61-3-ANA-RCHY
