Bottle Bomb


Bottle Bomb

Ingredients:

* 20 oz soda bottle (empty and dry on the inside)
* black powder
(the more fine the better)
* steady burning long wick (at least 15 seconds delay)
Instructions:

o Poke a small hole in the cap of the soda bottle.
o Pour a small
amount of black powder into the bottle (just enough
to cover the bottom with a thin layer, but
totally covered, no
empty spots on the bottom).
o Insert wick into the cap about halfway
and put a bend in the
wick.
Note: Be careful not to break the wick or it will shorten
it
causing possibly disastrous results.
o Screw the cap on the bottle tightly and set
somewhere so that it
is standing up.
o Light the fuse and get back about 30 feet. Watch
the bottle to
light up orange. The second after this happens the bottle blows
up.

How it works:
The fuse drops onto the layer of black powder in the bottom of the

bottle after it burns through the hole. The wick ignites the powder
causing it to burn. This
builds up pressure inside the bottle causing
it to explode. I have seen these fly up to 25
feet. You can try
experimenting with different size bottles or, try a glass bottle with

a metal cap if you have steel balls!!! Note- I’m not sure it has
enough pressure to blow a
glass bottle apart. It may just act like a
rocket engine and flare.

    Using metal or glass parts is asking for injury… and you would be able to get a much louder report by tightly sealing about a gram of black powder inside a hard, hollow ball made from many layers of laquered parcel paper. I would also recommend a visco fuse or hot wire igniter rather than a “wick”… let’s try and learn some terminology here, kids. The end result will be smaller, safer, more stable, and LOUD.
