The Carrot Bomb.

A brand new addition to my collection of sparkler bomb recipes. Special thanks to Nick, John, Tim and Tom Weatherall.

If you haven’t heard of sparkler bombs, here is the basic rundown. We all
know that sparklers are flammable but they only spray sparks. Well,
when all bunched up together or crushed they exponentially increase in
power.

Below we can see the latest of our bombs, named the carrot.

Here’s what you need:

• About 600 sparklers
• A heap of duct tape
• Patience
• Lighter

The Process

1. Remove all cardboard packaging (If the sparklers come bunched in thin plastic, leave that on).
2. Place all sparklers (except about 5) in your hand and grip the sparkler-free ends tightly.
3. Wrap up the entire thing with duct tape, focusing on the middle and closer to the top.
4. Poke a couple of the leftover sparklers through the top as a fuse.

You’re done!

Dig a small hole in a VERY OPEN area and put the Carrot Bomb in nice and tight.

Light and run.

Couple of notes:

• Don’t try this with too many sparklers, it gets wider and just shoots out sideways.
• You will need a fair bit of water to put it out before you can pick it up,
  especially if you need a quick escape from a public area.

Here’s a few being prepped for wrapping:
