Ever enjoyed setting off large explosions to impress your friends? Need some way to make that moment with your significant other just perfect? Trying to disable the local power grid as part of a diabolical plan to incite cathode deprivation related misery? Then follow these simple instructions!
- Visit your local junkyard, old and abandoned buildings or heavily used overpasses: collect a large amount of Iron Oxide (rust)
- Buy some aluminum powder or, for the truly industrious proletariat, make your own with a hunk of aluminum and rough file
- Buy a few flower pots or simply 'liberate' your terra cotta brethren from the nearest landscaping store
- Find a nice and secluded high tension power line tower
- Affix several pots full of a 2:1 aluminum to rust ratio to each leg of the tower
- Insert a magnesium strip into each pot then connect each strip to a model rocket launch controller via alligator clips
- Find a safe position at least 200 feet away, preferably hidden from view and press the ignition button
- Enjoy Godzilla-like showers of sparks and arcing electricity as the tower collapses
- Head for the Canadian border as fast as possible
