Hey guys, I've been looking at the videos and content of this site for a while now, and thought it would be cool to see one of my own on here. My friends and I made a huge sparkler bomb and blew it up, it's completely awesome. Hope you guys like it, and I hope it gets posted. :)

It's free hosting, so it takes about 40 seconds or so to start downloading.

EDIT: I'm the camera guy. I wasn't getting near that thing.

lol, that's awesome. What I found really funny, was that I did something very similar. July 4, 2003, my mom was getting cranky and wanted to go inside early, but I still had about 75 or so sparklers that I wanted to use up. Sooo...I tied them together with a long piece of plastic wrap that came with another thing and stuck them in a mortar tube, but all of them were above the top.

I had no idea I was making a bomb, I figured it would just be "one big sparkler"...so I lit it and moved the lighter around to get the rest of the sparklers and the entire thing engulfed in flames nearly taking my head with it. It wasn't exactly "explosive" but as close as I was and the differing reaction from what was expected, it really made me jump. I was laughing my ass off afterwards...but my mom was even more pissed. Oh well, maybe next year...

LOL, i'm glad you didn't get hurt, that could have been fatal or extremely painful.

Yeah, it was just a buncha sparklers wrapped up in duct tape, but you have to do it right or a buncha shit could happen, like what happened in the video. Anyway, it's a felony and right after we blew that thing up we almost got arrested and put straight in jail. The police got calls from a 3 mile radius about it, and people that were closer by said it rattled their windows. The video sound doesn't really do justice to how loud that was, and how powerful. I could feel it when it exploded, all over. It was bad ass to say the least, lol. Burying it in the ground just made it bigger.

Yeah, wrap it tight, or it just plain won't work. Make sure you take one of the middle sparklers and pull it out really far, and don't put tape around too high on the fuse, or what happened in the video will happen to you. Make sure the thing is wrapped tight, again, or it'll just shoot out one end or something like that. Oh yeah, and even if you do it perfect, sometimes they just plain won't work, so if one's a dud, just make another. You'll get it. Start small so you don't waste a buncha sparklers first try.

That video of the sparkler bomb was very cool and so was the music that was playing when the guy was trying to light it, what was the music that was playing?

Some crappy Slipknot song from their newer album. The only reason I chose it was because it was the only thing I could think of at the time that slowly built up.

geez dude that was massive!
i recently made a lil sparkler bomb but it is a quarter of the size of dat thing!!!!

mine is a basic 2 coke cap bomb.
if u wona no how 2 make em ill tell ya:::

1st get 2 coke bottle caps, a bunch of sparklers.
drill a hole in 1 of the caps, shred the gunpowder of the sparklers in2 the cap with out the hole, tape the caps 2getha, stick another sparkler through the hole and lite the top of it. it will light like a normal sparkler then when it hits the bottle caps and the sparks get inside caboom!u get a tiny explosion!!!

..I made heaps of sparklers bombs in different ways and trust me these ways rock.

Puting them into a skinny but long aluminium pipe worked wonders and that big explosion of sparks was even higher than my house..

anyway.

Heres an awesome compilation of what I made. :)

Some parts look like it's a flame thrower coming out of a small pipe...
