Take of the motors a replace the motor wirings with a relay.
Some cars are not powerful enough to detonate so I added mine a relay.
Adding a relay prevents the circuit from burning.

Making the Coil

P1010110.JPG

Use a thick wire for this but not too thick or else it will not burn just use the right thickness that your battery can burn again and again. Use a screw driver to wind on the screw driver. After making the coil epoxy it to the tip of a chop stick and connect a thick coated wire.

Connecting the Battery and the Coil

Here Is Our New Year Celebration With the Detonator (It's Fun)

The coil can be use more than 100 times. Just don't press the remote to long
(just only 10 sec. max) or  it will burn the coil. Sound fun doesn't it. I'm with my father celebrating new year with it we even use it for a fountain fireworks.
