Cell-phone detonator

OriginWinter Camp XLII (2018)
The StoryWinter Camp XLII included plans to detonate a number of balloons filled with hydrogen. Brian Mann was able to secure an industrial tank of hydrogen and several balloons were filled. During the filling, Mr. Donohue could be heard suggesting they take the explosive gas outside several times, but his complaints fell on deaf ears.

In the end, there were about a dozen 14 inch balloons very full of hydrogen, but there was nothing like a fuse and no one had any idea how big the explosion would be other than big. Luckily, Alan "the World's Most Dangerous Wilson" Wilson came to the rescue. He was able to take several things he happened to have on hand at camp and create a cell-phone detonator which allowed us to trigger the explosion from hundreds of feet away.

VeracityAll true.
