My dad, who has his own company and regularly brings Dry Ice (or frozen carbon dioxide) brought a big batch home today. And interesting feature about it is that when it heats up, instead of changing from solid, then liquid, then gas, it just skips to gas...
With makes it fun as hell.
Well, my story today is that me and my brothers started messing around with it, putting it into small bottles (with flip-up tops) with hot water until the tops blew off. The last time before I tried using a big, full size bottle, the small one I was using wouldn't blow up. Eventually I picked it up, and it blew up in my hand. Hurts like crazy... :frown:
Eventually, after all these small explosions, I got bored. So mI found the big, full size Dr. Pepper bottle we had just finished today, and stuffed it full of dry ice, then added hot water any did this process several times, and every time it would be just on the verge of exploding, with too much gas escaping before putting the lid on.
After about 3 tries, I decided to try it a different way. I put a lot more Dry Ice in than usual and put the water in after, instead of before putting the Dry Ice in, then plonked the bottle in the middle of my garden.
After waiting for an agonizing 10 or so minutes,it still wouldn't blow, so I went closer to inspect. I noticed that the Dry Ice was so cold that it had frozen the water around it. Because opening the bottle and putting water in would result in a loss of pressure, I got a bottle full of hot water and splashed it over the big Dr. Pepper bottle, causing a small amount of the Dry Ice to turn into a gas (and thus, expand). I did the same thing several times, until eventually...
I was next to the bottle putting the last bottle of hot water in. I could here a high pitched screech, slowly getting higher and higher...
Until it exploded. It wasn't like the bottle top flew off or that, but it literally exploded, with parts flying everywhere, whilst I was just next to it. Luckily, Not 1 piece hit me, but the bang was giant and echoed, even though it was in a wide open space (my garden is really big, and next to a golf course).
My brother, who was inside at the time says that he almost fell off his seat when he heard the bang, and that it was extremely loud.
It sounded awesome.
Though I should have used a Coca Cola bottle instead... :sigh:
By Valhalla, that was dumb.

That sounds fucking stupid.
Yet also like something i would try. Kudo's to you, also never run to a bomb that hasn't gone off, hit that shit with a stick, and do it from a distance.
That shit will blow harder than michael jackson's dick into his 13 victims assholes.
I don't get what we're suppose to discuss, sounds like your average backyard fuckery every kid gets up to, as in not thread worthy.
