    • @douglassmalls6934
      @douglassmalls6934 Před rokem +2

      @Tango Dragonfruit That wouldn't work, most explosives need either heat or a powerful shockwave to detonate. For example ANFO, a common explosive that is readily made at home, requires another explosion to set it off. Just fire or electricity won't work. You need to connect the wires to a specifically designed detonator and that would require greater voltage. So you would need to connect the alarm voltage to a relay or other switching device to tell the detonator to ignite.

      Piece of advice from a fellow multiple-alarms guy : the trick is to have the alarms close enough to one another so that you can't fall back asleep completely between 2 alarms. Like, having 10 minutes between alarms is useless, because you're back to a deep sleep after 10 min so the second alarm is just as bad at pulling you out of sleep as the first one. From my testing, the optimal time is 3 minutes. 5 is acceptable, but less efficient.

    You can improve your design by adding brushwire to the capacitor legs to keep them from bending and then also adding a divider between live and ground on the igniter. This wave you'll have almost a guaranteed chance of having all the capacitors blowing up

    Mehdi...with those power tools, seriously, you're killing me. Would you like to see the scar from where I drilled into my palm when the bit broke through because I was holding the workpiece to save time, instead of using a vice or other proper method of holding the work? Or the scar from where I sliced through my finger, because I was holding the workpiece while cutting it, instead of using a vice or other proper method of holding the work - to save time? The trips to the ER did not end up saving me any time. I learned the hard way. Don't be me!

    I would recommend using a stepper motor instead of a DC motor.
    This way each time the alarm goes off it moves a set amount, you could also use the microcontroller controlling the stepper motor as a timer, so you wouldn't need an alarm.

    Nice. Will surely make up a memorable morning. I would choose something like a decade 4017 counter instead of a motor to drive a set of transistors
    elays. Each alarm would switch the counter, blowing up a different capacitor each time. You could even put a larger capacitor on a 12-hour alarm and call it "Big-Ben".)

    Make the capacitor holder two pieces by splitting the body along the circumference midplane of the rotor disc. Then make it to where you can secure them together with 3-4 equally spaced screws accessible on the front circular face. You could even make the capacitor holes a little smaller so it holds them more snugly, and then the caps won't rotate in place when the alarm clock goes off.
