Pyro, how exactly does 1 do that...?
It's quite simple, actually. Basically, get a bunch of decent sized capacitors (e.g. the ones used for camera flashes), string them all up in parallel, charge them up (don't overload them!), and touch the electrodes to a penny...
" remember not to wire those electrolitic capacitors backwards Pyro......."
But... but... electrolytic fluid/gel is fun! :P

Pyro, why would I want to wire together a load of capacitors to blast a hole through a penny??!?! I have a MiG welder in my shed... ;-)
pyro, couldn't doing that cause a short circuit which would result in the capacitors heating up, possibly to the point of cracking and/or explosioning?
/me trys to remember how to make potasiumtriiodide
Errrr... How would it cause a short circuit? The capacitors are directional...

Because doing stuff to money is cool.
And Urza, I suggest taking a microwave, filling it with gunpower then turn it on for like 10 minutes. Of course if that fails you can just hit the thing with a bat.

JM, as long as the gunpowder is dry nothing will happen...
Old fashioned napalm grenade, these I made before I was a teenager:
1. Take a soda can (the 12 oz metal kind), cut off the top (nicely) about half of an inch down from the top, and set it aside.
2. Fill up the can about 3/4 of the way with vaseline.
3. Fill the remainder of the space with gasoline, leaving a full inch below the cut top.
4. SLOWLY stir the mixture until homogenous.
5. Put the lid back on, securing it with lots of ducktape.
6. Insert a fuse of your choice into the drinking hole.
7. Light, throw far, and get to cover quickly.
Note: This information is only for educational purposes. If you go out and get yourself blown up, or others burned, or guys dressed in all black come and confiscate your computer, don't blame me. You are responsible for your own actions, much like an axe murderer is charged with the crime, not the maker (or designer) of the axe.
Warning: Gas is volatile, and when mixed with vaseline, it is hard to wipe off. If you get some on you, THOROUGHLY wash it off with soap in room temperature water. Never create napalm grenades (or any explosive) in hottish places (like, above 75 degrees). Always keep a foam-based extinguisher nearby. Or better yet, don't make the bomb unless you have legitimate reason to.
That all said, this thing makes some VERY cool explosions.
