I improvised a trigger mechanism for releasing metallic sodium under water. 5 gallon plastic pickle bucket, metallic sodium shavings (maximize surface area but work quickly because it oxidizes) in a pile on the bottom, then place a baby food jar over the top, followed by a brick on top of that (to capture the air pocket over the sodium). Fill the bucket with water, step back 20 paces, blast shield down, and roll a bolling ball towards the IED. Hit it with just enough force to rock the bucket, knocking the brick off. Viola....kablammo.
