I like playing with explodey things. TNT, Nukes, the whole lot. I use combustion engines despite the horror stories because of the risk. (Although I'm pretty sure I have them set up right, though I caught them not getting enough water once and it scared the crap outa me.)

I recently somehow managed to blow up a couple of redstone engines somehow. They were just in a mess and turned on facing into eachother, not hooked up to anything, and I heard an explosion after an hour or so of working in my world. I thought it was a creeper at first, but it was the engines.

It got me thinking, what other explodey things are there? Anything unlikely? Maybe this will be a general explosion thread, if I'm lucky. Mostly made it because all the other threads were boring, no offense.

If you pickaxe a Gregtech machine, or let them get wet, or let lightning strike it, or set it on fire, or stare at it in the wrong way, they explode. As well as making all the other machines on the same power line explode. Always fun ^-^

Demonic bee hurts like hell, never survived the burning even with quantum armor on.

Heat up a really big boiler, let it run dry, then add some water.

When I use to play technic with aaronletsplays and grumpygamer on our server I once took out my whole PowerFactory that was running on Combustion Engines... It was funny as hell.. Then I built the engine room surrounded by Reinforced glass and Stone... Saved my powerplant 2 more times... Only had to rebuild the engines.. Good times.

Plasma Cannon Module from Modular Power Suits. Wait for it. . .

I forked it on Github, downloaded it locally, cranked the explosion power max value to around nuclear and compiled.
I did not scale the power usage, so naturally my first action is too put the power tool in the tinker table and crank it straight to max. Then charge it, then point it at my feet.

Good times. Almost as funny/awesome as getting hit by a locomotive from RailCraft at max speed.

Edit: It was for. . . science, I of course deleted it and downloaded a normal version so I could play on servers.
So I can't give anyone a download link for it, but its still really easy to do, I just am not on 1.5.1 yet, which is what the current Github version of MPS is.
