Michael JensenA Really Cool Project!
July 17th 2009 22:40
These past few days, I've been "experimenting" with an interesting project I found on the net. Of course, it happens to involve acid and explosions 
so it is kinda dangerous. I have a video, which I plan to post soon, but for now, I am going to post instructions on how to do it yourself.
Disclaimer: While I will tell you how to conduct this project fairly safely, I am not responsible if you hurt yourself making, or using, this pressure bomb.
Step 1. Gather materials: 1. Bottle with tight cap, preferably made of hard plastic, like an apple juice bottle. 2. Aluminum foil. 3. The Works toilet bowl cleaner. (Drano should work). 4. Safety goggles. 5. Rubber or chemical proof gloves.
Step 2. Find a fairly large area to "detonate" the bomb.
Step 3. Take the aluminum foil and ball or roll it up loosely, placing it inside the bottle until it covers the bottom.
Step 4. Go to your detonation site.
Step 5. Set the bottle with the aluminum foil on the ground, then slip on the gloves. With the cap in one hand, and the bottle of toilet bowl cleaner in the other, quickly pour in enough cleaner to cover the aluminum foil and tightly cap the bottle. Then, shake the bottle and retreat to at least 30 feet away. (Just to be safe).
Step 6. Wait for the bottle to explode. At first it will appear to do nothing. Then, you will start to see white smoke filling the bottle. From that point, you probably have about 10 seconds until the explosion. After the white smoke fills the bottle, the bottle will swell like a balloon to an unbelievable size before popping with an ear-shattering noise and cloud of white smoke.
Step 7. Clean up: After the detonation, take a hose and rinse out the mangled bottle. If you don't have a hose, then carefully pick up the bottle (with your gloves on) and dump the liquid in a safe place where it won't be ingested by animals. (It's hydrochloric acid). Make sure to pick everything up and dispose of it appropriately. If any of the cleaner gets on your skin, make sure you rinse it for several minutes, or else it will start to burn.
Note: I should mention that the liquid in the bomb will kill grass, so be careful.
