another infuriating but highly illagal thing to do would be to insert some kind of remote control receiver in thier service cable.
then whenever the guy calls out the leccy guys to report a power cut you turn it back on that would drive him crazy.
note: i seriously don't reccomend actually doing this for two reasons 1: the trouble you would get into if caught and 2: live jointing of service cables is NOT a job for diyers.

Well, either there was another link to something much worse that was removed, or I am more out of touch with the modern approach to liability than I suspected.
I really couldn't find anything on bigclives site that really looked dangerous, at least if the advice presented was followed. Obviously if you dont read the warnings its dangerous, but that's true of welding torches, angle grinders, electric drills, penknives, and packets of peanuts, all of which, at least in terms of labelling, carry equal lethal power in the modern world.
Agree totally that a lot of "jolly roger"s stuff never did work as claimed, but really what do you expect for that sort of publication - I guess most of the ideas where written down untried.
Really sadly, I think I've done more than half of this sort of stuff myself too -jacobs ladder, neon light multiplier, etc. I'm still here.
Aint we all....The only one of jolly rogers I tried did work.
50% potassium nitrate (a fertalizer, and is in most brands), 50% sugar, mix well and compact, place in film cardridge (the black ones with a pop off lid). Make a fuse out of the same mixture with simmering water - soak string in the misture.
Light and run........Blew a toilet bowl out in a public lav
I've seen the Potassium Chlorate (another fertilliser) and jelly baby demo. Sodium nitrate (also an oxidising agent) is sold for household use as a weedkiller.
as for potassium nitrate, I always thought it was potassium nitrate + sulphur + charcoal dust = black powder?
This jolly rodger thing, is it a similar thing to the anarchists cookbook (spelling) thats floating about the net
@Map,
I probably am being over cautious, by removing most of my post, but anyway, I'm sure you could think of something in these sort of chemistry publications, that is used commercially in the rail industry, that if you had enough sadistic motivation, you could use to cut the power to building

In this day an age discussing making homemade explosives on a BB accessible to the punlic is likely to end up in some people having a visit from a paranoid plod
Ah, I will assume you mean some derivitive of the thermite welding process.
Well, that's fine, upper school chemistry, I'm sure we can discuss legitimately, its use at least with the aluminium/magnesium and copper oxide variation, finely ground, then mixed for welding copper earthing rods, as used at the bases of telecommunication towers, a jolly impressive method of connection it is too, though the crucibles have a short life.
see herehttp://www.keison.co.uk/furse/furse23.htm for what ?I am on about.
Mind you this too is not a technique for the faint hearted, and certaily not if there is any risk of any damp in the cruicuble or the ingredients - steam rather explodes things. I suspect most health and safety officers would prefer crimps, if only water didnt spoil them if buried in the bare (a lack of insulation is really essential for a good earthing system
)
So we get some fun in life.

Not much point if you then remove it before we get to see it....Adam_151 said:
