A time bomb's timing mechanism may be professionally manufactured either separately or as part of the device, or it may be improvised from an ordinary household timer such as a wind-up alarm clock, wrist watch, digital kitchen timer, or notebook computer.

Starting with Ruby version 1.9.2 (released on 18 August 2010), the bug with year 2038 is fixed, [17] by storing time in a signed 64-bit integer on systems with 32-bit time_t. [18] Starting with NetBSD version 6.0 (released in October 2012), the NetBSD operating system uses a 64-bit time_t for both 32-bit and 64-bit

Depending on the technology used, the device may self-destruct [ 21 ] (or render itself safe without detonation [ 22 ] ) some seconds, minutes, hours, days, or even months after being deployed.
