Re: Weird experiments as a beginner in this hobby
If i found out a system worked i then tried to miniaturise it, with variable amounts of success. One of the successful ones used a combination of a two-wire flashbulb (marketed as sylvania flip-flash, which gave you 10 bulbs per packet) and an alkaline PP3. Zinc chloride PP3's weren't always beefy enough, and magicubes had only one contact, and i couldn't figure out how to trigger them. With the addition of swan vestas and a (classified) timer these units could (had i thought) have allowed me a diversionary tactic while the real business of hoarding anything dirty, dangerous or generally verboten in my bedroom, with it's numerous priest-holes and secret compartments, went on. Never grew up!
