If  you  enjoyed  building  the  transporter device I recently described, you'll
really love this one - it will make you an even bigger hit at parties.


1.    .--------.       Visit  your  local junk yard and get a lead box or if you
      |========|       can't find one, use an old coffee can.
      |        |
      | ------ |       Obtain  107kg of weapons grade Plutonium. This is readily
      | Coffee |       available from the Russian Mafia.
      | ------ |       Wash your hands after handling and don't  allow  children
      |        |       or pets to eat it). Store the Plutonium in the can.

  |                |   You'll need a metal enclosure to house the device.
  |                |   Any  common  variety  of  sheet metal can be bent to the

     You are now the pround owner of what used to be known as an "Atom Bomb".

  Theoretically the device works when the denotated TNT compresses the Plutonium
  into  a  crital  mass.  This  critical  mass produces a nuclear chain reaction
  similar to the domino effect (named after the disasterous domino  incident  in
  Hiroshima  in  1945  in  which  thousands of people died). The chain  reaction
  instantaneously produces a massive thermonuclear reaction commonly known as  a
  10 megaton explosion.
