More Ways to Blow Things Up
pitabutter writes "Since the /. crowd seems to appreciate the exciting combination of amateur chemistry and fearlessness (what is it about intelligence and the desire to blow things up?), Sam Barros' site would be worth a look. Rail guns, high voltage, electromagnetic experiements-all there and with videos to boot. Unable to confirm if Sam still has appendages intact........"
I don't get it. What's the connection between intelligence and the /. crowd???
Don't give them any new ideas.
... destructive fun is the *most* fun.
Q: what is it about intelligence and the desire to blow things up?
A: they are inversely proportional. just look at the current US administration.

Let's see what he's learned about scalable designs. I guess Slashdot is going to be part of the "+".
I, for one, am thoroughly impressed! This guy has put a lot of time, effort and experience into the gentle art of making SMITHEREENS! :-)
So what happens when he has kids, I wonder???
I'm done with sigs. Sigs are lame.
Send that to the people who have been building potato bazookas and wounding people in germany.
Hmm, on second thoughts, no, don't send that to them. Last thing they need is someone to build a portable potato railgun...

Evidently he's finished high school, since this page is a link to his IB extended essay project, which is done during one's senior year of high school. Unless something went horribly wrong with the project and he never graduated... :)
'The Rail Gun upgrade should be completed soon. I than plan on firing it with a plasma armature, incorporate an inductor into the circuit, and research the effect on efficiency of different pulse lengths and armature compositions.'
Excellent. With these new weapons our plans to invade earth will soon be complete. Glory to the planet Zorba!

Oh no, you're wrong. Blowing things up is a univerisal love of all humans. It's just the un-intelligent ones only do it once.
"what is it about intelligence and the desire to blow things up?"
I think that's more of a male thing than an intelligence thing.
All you destructive women out there, feel free to violently disagree. And get it on camera, for fuck's sake.

He changes his name to Adams.
Dude, that's so 2000 years ago
Including Sam Barros' web site when it gets Slashdotted, right?
It's Christmas everyday with BitTorrent.
electrocuting your weiner can kill anyone.
Unless you're female, in which case it's someone else's.

>Lack of it?
Well, intelligence and common sense aren't always connected. Making these devices requires people with a lot of intelligence and posessing very little common sense.
I have a vivid memory of my mother yelling from the upstairs, "What are you doing!?!" "Nothing..." I was dancing around holding a box fan and herding a big green cloud of chlorine gas I had just liberated from pool chemicals out one of those narrow rectangular windows. I didn't think it would make so much.
I love the first line on one of the pages: "Anything is a weapon if you swing it right."
My man Frued would be proud.

Yea we all remembered what happened in Fight Club. First you're makin soap, next thing ya know your part of some cult!
what the hell are those pressurized tanks in the bkgd? Are they really lighting LOX only 4 meters away from that much explosive material?
Ahhh, one of my favorite sites.
Don't worry, George knows what he's doing. That's why he's not allowed to do it anymore.
