Homemade fuses wrapped in aluminum foil look like a baked potato. When lit, they get hot fast.
Here is how I made the fuses: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmogTqQk_Gs

Project History & More Info:
From personal experimenting, I found that the homemade fuses from previous projects, burn incredibly fast when enclosed. I wondered what would happen if they were wrapped up tightly in aluminum foil. My guess was they would all burn quickly together and go off with a bang. That’s basically what happened.
I chose to use just a couple wraps of aluminum foil because the material is light weight and would break fairly easily as the pressure built. I wasn’t interested in building a bomb. Just a simple homemade pyrotechnic for festive celebrations, and using materials I already had available.
This has the potential to be hazardous to people and property. Common sense, safety, and extreme caution need to be exercised to avoid harm and damage to others.
