Hi, there, my dear friends, in this video I will show you an interesting idea how to make a strike-ball trip wire from the clothes peg and electric match.
This video demonstrates how to make an Electric match. If you planning a campfire or special effect, use this method. - Jak na to + styl
40 years ago, we used two clothes pins, a 9 volt battery, some hookup wire, fishing line, Estes model rocket igniters and blockbuster firecrackers to build perimeter alarms around the vegetable garden. It kept Moose and Deer from eating the plants and veggies. Jerk the fishing line, and instant BOOM. Even the boldest Moose was running full speed away. Harmless, but supremely loud.
What?
Amazing!
En gros tu peux fabriquer une bombe avec 1, passage bravo MacGyver
So Very True Corey :) we also useda set up like that minus the clothes pins as a impro moto round ;)
That was the point it was up to the end user here to determine what fuse gets ignited 🎉
I made a sump pump alarm using a cloths pin, you have one thumbtack with the flat surface on the inside and the other the point. you place an aspirin between the flat surface and the point. You then attach it to a piece of wood and lower it into you sump pump well above the water line. If the sump pump fails the water rises, dissolves the aspirin, the contacts touch and set off an alarm. Its saved me from a flooded basement more than once.
Sump pumps suck for that very reason. It fails and so does all your gear stored in your basement. Your alarm is a great idea if someone is near enough to hear it. Away at work..you're f*cked. No more basements for me
@@jeffroW0331 Agreed, that's why I eventually went with 2 sump pumps, the second is on a battery backup that will last 12 hours.
@@terrytytula way to stay on top of it. Preparedness is readiness
The best thing to do is put them on a timer that runs them for a few minutes a week so rhe bearings stay free. Most failures are due to rusted bearings that have not been broken free in months.
That aspirin just made a headache go away.
It's a silent alarm guys. You set it by your head, your hair catches fire and you wake up without the intruder knowing yet.
GENIUS!
LOL.
😂😂
Add a firework to the burning point & then 💥
Oh man, you've got me in stitches. That's funny.
😂😃😁 a classic. 👏
In the army back in the day, we use to have tripwire mines that set of a magnesium flaremine that turned night in to day. They were supposed to be put up around defensive positions, but we had great fun rigging them around the latrine pit just outside camp😂
Great idea. One just needs to get hold of the flare mines 😁
Roger. This was the basis for an automatic ambush, but you'd have a claymore anti personnel mine on the other end
Lmao
Thanks
Silly string works good for finding tripwire in buildings.
My dad went to Vietnam twice. This is one of the simple triggers he taught me as a kid they used!
An actual alarm/buzzer attached to the battery would be so much better. Gives me an idea for rigging trips around my property to deter intruders. Thanks.
I thought the same thing. This is just a "how to start a forest fire" type rig.
Or a few loud firecrackers! That will scare anyone for sure.
you misunderstood what the fire was supposed to do....there is a part thats missing (not allowed on YT)....for example....that part might go boom.
Something that sounds like a police siren would be perfect.
Or a big bear growl sound…
Good one. The siren from fire truck is a awesome alarm
Bryan Keith thats Gold .'! Gold#
Lmfao, right
Civil defense siren worx too
In a zombie apocalypse these will be good in schools where theres those automatic omes
Jaaaaa
All of you critiquing what the tripwire ignited are not thinking outside of the box. This is a simple demonstration on what to use to trigger the device. Obviously anything that operates on or conducts an electric current can be used
But starting a forest fire, is one of the best alarms there is smh
@@SVMSICE who in their right mind would start a forest fire? Anyone keen enough to properly set up a warning system should be wise enough to know what triggering device works best and is safe for the terrain they are in. Common sense always applies. Smh
@@billymadison8036 Do you know what the word sarcasm means? lol
@@SVMSICE lol... Yeah but it's not as easily translated through text. My bad dude
@@billymadison8036 👍🏼
did anybody else instantly think of adding a firework to it??
:D
yup. cuz oh wow a little flame is gonna do something to someone/something. add an m-1000 and the intruder will be gone in 2 seconds flat
What clay is he using?
+KennY Or something bigger and louder. Even a simple screaming electronic device would be useful.
+ MrMaestro14231it is a mixture of match heads and the red phosphorous from the boxes striker. When mixing them together in a one match head powdered and half that in red phosphorous with a tiny drop of water to make a paste. But in its powder form it is highly susceptible to shock forces and will explode/ignite. These are great for a rocket motor starter, fireworks, dynamite, or whatever needs fire to ignite its fuse or combustible material. Handle it carefully when a powder. If you strike it with a hammer it explodes.
You could definitely wire some sort of module that sends a signal (Audio, IR, Wi-fi, etc.)over shorting the circuit. You could do this with minimal modifications and additional modules. Great starting point.
Edit - Basically look at this as nothing more than a switch. You make this switch work for anything.
Hook the wires to fine-grade steel wool, and attach the fuse from a 3" fireworks mortar shell. That'll get the interloper out of there real quick.
This video should be renamed “How to silently burn your house down after it’s been robbed ?”
Or how to start a forest fire in the same forest you are sleeping in.
😂😂😂
Exactly what I was thinking..WHAT IN THE ACTUAL F....?! How is this a burglar trip wire?!
@@metallicatlaura5408 just here 5 months later to call you stupid
Lol...
You mean tripwire ignition system.... for a claymore.
xD
+Blargenth You can connect it with buzzer..
+Blargenth attach a firecracker or a airbomb firework to it and you have a alarm and likely a good way to ward off bears.
Oh shit m8 I think I should put a firework on it
what's on the wires that ignites?
The alarm part comes from the fire cracker (or M-80) set off by the electric match. I built those when I was a kid. I even used bottle rockets with some
Add equal resistance on the back side so if the trip wire is found and cut, the balance in tension is off, the piece comes out anyway and the alarm sounds

Да вы инженер...
You son of a gun, are f brilliant
Now that's helpful!
I especially like the bright red trip line. Sneaky.👍
Gonna have to have awfully good hearing to hear that alarm go off.. LOL
Explosives are optional.
That’s a great idea I used something little bigger scale I was in Vietnam we called it a mechanical ambush using a bigger battery from a radio trust me it worked very well
“The tree is on fire, I think we have bears!”
A quick idea, maybe use a birthday card from the local pharmacy as the device/ alarm. The audio birthday cards can be recorded, and are triggered by a similar pull-tab mechanism. Instead of the bread bag tab or plastic peace you used, try the audio mechanism, and maybe use a recorded alarm sound instead of the flare. Just a suggestion.
Are those birthday card custom recordings loud enough?
@@dlighted8861 you can daisy chain them to make them louder
This demo flare is just a "YT placeholder event". The switch can be used to trigger anything you want, but some things you may want don't get approved on YT in Joe Bidens America. Like, you may want to say "1776" at the Capitol. But that will get you 60 days in a Louisville pokey, especially if you aren't perceived as being remorseful about being a patriot (see Owen Shroyer, 10/24/23)
Its got to be louder than a small flame. LOL. I think the birthday cards are pretty loud if you were at camp or outside a bedroom window. @@dlighted8861
This is just an improvised ignition. In practice it would be used to set off something much louder.
What's the alarm? Forest fires?
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
just add a firecracker
+Logan Rogers Or a buzzer that hurts your ears.
no alarm here this is dangerous lol
alarm for global warming i guess
In the army we would just wrap the positive and negative lead to each contact point on the clothes pin. We used a spoon in between on the trip line and attached it to a blasting cap or a claymore. You don't need a alarm when you can blow them in pieces instead.
I can think of a really good way to rig this to a sound system that turns on whenever the circuit is fully connected... nice idea!
Yea. i have a small battery operated pull type loud (120db) alert alarm. Basically with a wire or fishing line would work. Only way to shut sound off is to reinsert plastic pin or remove battery.
@@sammyhooligan803 I have that also.
The idea isn't simply setting off the flammable material at the ends of the leads. You can connect something else to the leads to send an electrical signal to trigger another device once the trap goes off.
You're ALL missing the point! Once the wire is tripped and the contacts touch each other, the small fire causes heat, which is attached to a thermal resistor, which will then send a small electric current to a variable capacitor that has been connected in parallel to several smaller capacitors with different ohms, so the electric current can then choose which path has the least resistance and if you choose, you can put a day/night/thermal transmitter that is connected by bluetooth to your cell phone and can simultaneously dial your number as well as 911. Don't forget to connect the game camera set on either video or flash pictures for evidence. If your property is vandalized often, ensure you have at least 100 GB card and if your card can connect to satellite you can be sleeping anywhere and the signal can be sent not only to you, but to other agencies that might have concern that your tomato garden is under attack. This is how mine is set up. I love my tomatoes.
@@johnelliott7123 your either very smart about these sort of things or I'm just getting older and out of touch. I'll vote on the second one.
Thanks

fire is very alarming indeed, good work sir.
mrpeter81 I was thinking that
hahahahaha!
mrpeter81 lol
That is bloody brilliant. I would do this but use battery powered alarms and direct wire it. When it trips is sirens rather than starting a fire signal. You can also just use personal alarms. Tripwire drops a rock that pulls the alarm cord.
Hey Dad the house is on fire ! I bet something out there!
*DIY*
To make the "electric matches" yourself, mix 5% smokeless powder (from a shot gun shell) and 95% black powder. Keep adding acetone to it until it turns into a runny paste. Apply several coats of this paste to the exposed ends of two wires, connected by a strand of either steel wool or brass Brillo Pad.
You can also just loop the wires around a match head.
@@pufthedragonCCS actually it would be better to Loop the wire directly around the fuse
why not just replace the match with a load buzzer
1,5V battery
I was thinking like a M-80
Connected to the quick match !!!
Be nice a nice touch ...
Joe ....
Or an m80 in a ceramic container with an excellerant to speed up the the already burning tannerite in a 20 gallon tank 10 feet in front of your front gate
What are you using for the ignition on the end of the wire ?
What kind of material have you strapped the two wires with?
Hot glue and solder.
Use duct tape to tie a hand-grenade to a tree. Stretch the wire from another tree or peg in the ground to the pin... You can't miss hearing that!
You're supposed to pull the pin and put the gernade in a can.... amature.
Hahahaha

Don't hate this guy for knowing how to burn down stuff with a clothes pin.
Just saying.
😉👍
So if a thief walks into my trap it will set my house on fire.... Nice!
Cas Van De Riet
Well, they can’t steal anything if they’re on fire... but it is hard to replace the treasures that you’ve collected over the years, eh?
The next step is... the smoke alarm goes off. Lateral thinking at its... best?
Hey. As long as you have homeowners insurance and an idiot for a fire inspector, your insurance will cover it. Ingenious!!!🤪
faut expliquer pour les décérébrés que l'allumette est la juste pour montrer le fonctionnement du déclencheur . libre à chacun de brancher ce qu'il lui convient .
You have to add a bit of C4 then it won't burn down.
I made several "trespassers will be shot" signs for free. works very well.
I could not believe how the alarm horn was so freekin' loud it was beyond my hearing range!
Great idea. I was wondering how I could start a forest fire. Good going
Next time I trespass, if I see a match flaring, I'll run like hell. Scary things, matches.
Lol
attach an m80 to that and you got something fub
what the fuck duuude
Wolverine in trap
See a match light a flar fire with fire baby
When I was about three years old my father made a trip wire alarm because someone was stealing coal from our coal pile. (This back in 1949, when it was still legal to heat your home with coal.) He hooked the wire to set off a Big Ben alarm clock. You could hear those things go off from two blocks away on a quiet night. When the alarm went off, the thief started running and never came back.
+Emmit Stewart
I remember those clocks. My grandparents had a few of them. They drove me nuts trying to sleep at night. TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK!
I would wrap up the one in my room in a bunch of shirts, sheets whatever I could find and shove it in a bureau drawer under even more fabric to get any sleep. I did not appreciate their loud bell either. Far too startling of a wake up for me. It put me in a bad mood right away!
Your Dad was a smart guy!
Cool story bro
That's a great story.
that'll do it 🤠
I'm pretty sure it's not illegal to burn coal in a wood stove
So, if you're asleep, you'll know that there was an intruder when you smell the smoke and wake up?
yeah you smell like shit and all your stuff is gone ! sounds like a win win lol
we used to make these using nine volt batteries and rocket igniters from the hobby stores. And, telling how long this was ago, we used flash bulbs to blind intruders. It was common when out in the boonies and setting up camp ( army) The army issued trip flares also which ran on the same principle. As a joke we would set this up on a friends car attached to a black smoke bomb and when he started his car ( the wires were attached to his spark plugs) the smoke bomb would go off and send great clouds of black smoke from under his hood. It was funny to watch him bail out and roll across the ground. Oh, those memories of years gone by!!
Excellent. Trip-wire C4's here we come!
Yeah you can just use that to light a little firework bomb and that is gonna make you alert
Exactly. And I like how he only used a clothespin.
nice job! actually this method is born as a military surviving-rudimental technic for ambushing an enemy patrol using a claymore . Since it si used when you have no access to equipment you could make it even simpler .
Great vid.
Memories..
I read most of the comments,
Thanks
Really clever, thank you. Fireworks were banned in Australia in 1972. If only I knew this then .
Guns & fireworks, you Australians have no fun.
@@Slick70 They definitely have guns in Australia.Although they probably don't give you a free shotgun when you open a bank account, like they do in America.
Used to make trip wire M-80’s using matches, match book striker and fishing line. Worked great until a park ranger tripped one
We did the same thing with flash bulbs when I was in the ARMY. For the trip wire we used the wire from a speaker coil. Very hard to see
Splendid, thank U.
Detonadores de explosivo 👍👍👏👏👏👏🇧🇷
You can use a 9V battery holder glued to the trap and use a piezo buzzer like CEP-2224 as an alarm. It would be much more effective.
Replace the burning substance with either a 1.5 volt light 💡 or an audio buzzer or alarm 🚨. Or run a wire to a unit in your home that can be connected to a source that will alert you when the wire is tripped.
Great idea of how to explode fireworks in case somebody enters your yard! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
nice video going to hand these out at christmas
you could replace the flammable mixture with a buzzer component by connecting the positive and negative connections
WHY DOES THIS COME UP WHEN I SEARCH IED?!
Edit: I totally just put myself on a watch list for clicking this :’(
Owell who cares, if you're not doing anything wrong then its a waste of their time! I used to think like you, but then realized...screw it. Who cares. "They" prob already invade our privacy and/or observe us in so many other ways. I'm here to make a trip alarm to catch some damn vandals!
Very nice but I knew how to make those glad you shared it thank you
Super! Thank you very much!
You could build something like this, but with a spring keeping the contacts apart, in order to do a pressure plate trigger.
This would allow you to callibrate how much force was required for the alarm. Heavy spring for vehicles, light spring for People.
Isn't this how you make a freakin bomb trigger?
Bingo.
Yeah how to set your house on fire 2016.

+Benedick Eris Carey that depends on where your gonna use this kind of information but its also useful in a war terrerist in the philippines are already using this kind of device in mindanao.its cheap easy to produce and you can put a bunch of them in a small bag and it'll depend on the type of explosive they will attached to it.
your are great when mini gear channel open all the people watch mini gear but i still watch your channel
Perfect for Airsoft tripwire :D
Загорелось и что дальше? Сгорел лес? Дом? Ничего не понимаю....
Это детонатор для чего-то бОльшего! 😁😁😁
Так Якутия сгорела
MrGear; I just recently stumbled across your videos and they are freaking awesome. I'm gonna start with your latest video and work myself backwards. I'm real excited to learn some McGyver (sp.???) type shit. See you on the next one.
The music in this video is really cool.
We made these when we were kids. Cept we filled flash bulbs with ground fine FFFF black powder. Then inserted them into PVC pipes with something that needed detonated. Always planned on deploying them in the woods so we could play war games. But never got around to it.
It amazes me as to the extent that people will go to reinvent the wheel!
What do you mean l, do you have other, existing ideas?
You could probably attach a firecracker to where it flames
I made them with the old style flashbulbs & added taped a black cat firecracker to the flashbulb. While I was in college back in the 70’s
Seem like a legit good idea just need to work on my smoke signals
How exactly is this an alarm
+Emily Wells
I think it supposed to cause a forest fire and thus alert you to the danger, then you will notice you will be burning alive soon enough so you forget whatever it was that set off the trap and run like hell.
Or instead of the combustion i guess you could put any kind of sound generator on it that just needs the power of one battery...
.
+Emily Wells
You're supposed to attach the wire to a bear's genitals. Most bears don't like it when you set their balls on fire.
+Jacques Mertens But what kind of bear?
grassroot011
Yogi bear of course. If the bear does not speak English there would be a lot of confusion among the people dense enough to actually use this trap.
+Jacques Mertens Lol
useless on it's own, somewhat OK for an ignition switch, if you want a cheap n easy alarm, -just go to any dollar store and buy some window /door alarms that activate when the magnet piece is easily pulled away, attach to tree or whatever with string tied /glued -whatever to magnet piece and to anchor and u have a super cheap and effective alarm!! ⚡🔥🎇💀💀
Hi, that’s a great alternative! I’m looking for ideas just incase the economy totally collapses…we live on a self sufficient farm and everyone knows it…I’d have 100 bastards up here trying to eat all my food!
Goodです♪
Awesome!
Or, you could take a couple tin cans with some rocks placed into the crevice of a tree with the line attached. When someone walks through the line, the cans fall together making a noise. Works the same with grenades with the line attached to the pin.
Hmm.. great idea. You could rig a bunch of empty cans to fall from 15 feet and create a wild ruckus. Nearly as good and cheaper than fire cracker attachment idea!!
This video is why California is on fire.
California is a shithole anyway. Nothing of value is lost.
Red_Doggo no,the whole INDIA is the shithole.California is great.
California is on fire because their forest management is based on a bunch of leftist ideology rather than science.
G00B3R91 Cali is being microwaved. they're done .I've seen skeletons in burned out gutted cars with melted engines and wheels and no glass! and a shrub next to it with green leaves. we're next..
DAMNN!!!!! LOL
Excellent
This is owsome
You should've had a strip of firecrackers attached to the igniter that way you could hear it.
This is nothing new, when I was in the Army we use this same setup but with flash bulbs from cameras. Took a speaker coil whinding and used for the trip wire as it is dark and not shinny.
It works great. And used as an early warning device for when we was guarding our perimeter.
Awesome idea to start a campfire
Great idea
Это не сигнализация, это детонатор ))
запал.батарейка типа разовая.не так надо.
awesome! now when someone tries to break into my house, it will set them on fire! my house too I guess..
My brother made a trip wire that set off camera flash bulbs. He used those little cube shaped ones. Very effective, but only worked once (till you replace the bulbs). Gave a hell of a fright, but no harm. Not sure how he did it as i was just a boy and he was a teen in the miltary cadets.
Great now we know how to set trees on 🔥
Who else cried when they soldered the wire directly to the battery.
A serious question here, how would I attach it?
@Inkedoutmiss
The proper way would be to use a battery tray. This product: www.amazon.com/LAMPVPATH-Single-Battery-Holder-Leads/dp/B07BXX62JF/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=battery+tray+1+AA&qid=1626159863&sr=8-8
Я тоже так когда-то делал,тока в место прищепки граната была
Прищепка безопасней.
Awesome
This won’t work well as an alarm but it’s a banger of a way to make an ignition switch for a bomb.
No! This was "How to make an Incendiary Device", but he didn't want to say that due to it would have triggered a ATF's and FBI Algorithm, flagging him to their radar. Unfortunately we clicked it.
In Mr. Mackies' voice: uhh, makin a fire... that'd be pretty bad unkaay
Yeh so to offset the potential fed intrusion I suggest the battery power a recording of 'you are my Sunshine' and then toss'em a 20. 9v way better
If you are close enough to see the little flame, wouldn't you also be close enough to see the person who tripped the wire?
I learned Ninjutsu when a teenager. It's amazing how one can defend themselves with such ease.
Ex-Army here, I use fishing line and M80's. 🤠😎👍🏾🤗🤗
