Flame detonators -done

A fuse of 2mm diameter, 2.25 inches long and thick plastic will last 30 seconds. 

A fuse 10 approx. Inches long and made of plastic straw will last 10 seconds. 

We can get it from a match pox. We can get 1 gm of Potassium Chlorate (KCIO3) from one matchbox. 

Take a big pot, fill it half with water. Dip the match sticks of a 50 matchboxes in it. 

Start boiling the water. Boil it until the heads of sticks dissolve in the water.

In certain exceptional cases, a specially designed deflagration arrester may be mounted in-line without regard to run-up distance. This can be done only where the system is known to be incapable of detonation. An example is the decomposition flames of ethylene, which are briefly discussed under Special Arrester Types and Alternatives. ... 

FM will condnct tests at their own test facilities nsnally only for deflagration flame arresters, following their Class 6061 test procednre. They will also observe and approve tests done at a hame arrester mannfactnrer s own test facility for both dehagration and detonation type hame arresters. For detonation hame arresters FM will accept tests that are done in accor-... 

It has-been used in some Russian Detonators as a separatej yer over LA, but not mixed with it as was done in the USA. LSt is much easier to initiate than LA by means of spark, heat or flame. It does not react with metals, while LA reacts with Cu (Ref 15, p 16)... 

Each item was evaluated both theoretically and experimentally to assure safely and reliability. A large number of items were discarded because of inherent hazards or unreliable performance. Safety warnings are prominently inserted in the procedures where they apply but it is emphasized that safely is a matter of attitude. It is a proven fact that men who are alert, who think out a situation, and who take correct precautions have fewer accidents than the careless and indifferent. It is important that work be planned and that instructions be followed to the letter all work should be done in a neat and orderly manner. In the manufacture of explosives, detonators, propellants and incendiaries, equipment must be kept clean and such energy concentrations as sparks, friction, impact, hot objects, flame, chemical reactions, and excessive pressure should be avoided.
