philzilla · Jul 5, 2003, 09:47 PM

Patrick · Jul 5, 2003, 09:57 PM

Even better, if you have a local natural spring tap, fill those mojos up with it. That water is the greatest, and it's free.

Make woofer enclosures and sell them as the new Aqua iSub.

I've got one word for you: Hydrogen!

I had some fun with one yet opened. It started to leak in a friends car.. so we threw it on concrete. It exploded upon impact. Great stuff.. We were soaked, but it was such a nice stress reliever... Greatest $5 I have ever spent.

Make a bomb.

Put a small puddle of gasoline in the bottom, let it sit for about 15 minutes, then drop a match in.

Gasoline storage.

Dry ice + water + 5 gallon water cooler bottle = wicked bottle rocket

you'll have to find an end for it though

or, instead of dry ice, if you found something that fit perfectly in the end, you could fill it up about 1/2 ish full of water, then use a pump to build up the air pressure inside, when it get's high enough, then end should pop out.. and there it will go.

rambo47 · Jul 6, 2003, 08:08 PM

Scaught called it: PartyBong! You could get, like 8 people stoned at once! How about taking one of those pedal pumps for air mattresses, reversing the machanism so it sucks air instead of blows, attach it to the PartyBong�, and light up a 1/2 ounce bowl. Stomp that pedal until it's all gone up in smoke inside the mighty PartyBong�, pop the top and eight people draw on thier own tubes attached to the main chamber. With a chamber that big the smoke would be nice and cool, too!

I like the boat idea. That would work really well. Some duct tape, and some pvc pipe or something, and you could have a really cool boat.

build a model boot inside it..... a BIG one

sooner · Jul 8, 2003, 09:21 PM

i have a glass 5 gallon bottle that we used to do the following to (our bottle was much stronger and heat resistant than a plastic bottle, so proceed with caution. actually, i advise you not to try this):

put small amount (1/4 cup) of rubbing alcohol in bottle and rotate the bottle so the alcolol coates the inside of the bottle. if there's any extra pooling in the bottom, tilt it and pour it out. be sure to leave a little alcohol on the lip of the opening.

then, CAREFULLY, use a lighter and light the fumes coming out of the bottle... the fumes burn through the bottle and it acts like a rocket engine... VERY cool.

my old roommate actually has a video of us doing it in our old dorm room!

permanent68 · Jul 8, 2003, 09:30 PM

But some bleach, lye, and aluminum foil in it. Make a fuse. Light it. That makes hydrogen.

Two words:

Drum Circle!

Or, if you can find a way to seal them tight, (go outside, to an unpopulated location) toss about an ounce of carbide and a cup of water in it, seal it up, and get back a couple hundred feet. If the seal holds until the bottle gives way from t he pressure build-up, it'll be awfully loud when it pops.

my pyro of a PHY and CHY teacher did this as a demonstration. I think dropping a match in it works better, you can get your hand away faster.

he also use to blow up pringles cans using hydrogen the sound and the visual took us for a loop.
