Actually, we wanted to put it inside a hollowed out pumpkin for an even more impressive effect, but it was summer and we didn't have any.

Just FYI:  That isn't me in the video, but a character actor we employed.  I was however behind the camera doing the close up.    (Actually not all that close.)

Those silver heating pads that used to come in military grade MRE's, when torn into thin strips and dropped into a 2 liter Coke bottle with 8 or so ounces of water will make a very big BOOM.

Don't ask me how I know......I just know.

MRE heater bombs are better when you dump a bottle of tabasco in with the water.  ;)

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

I had to throw this in. Years ago, our HS chemistry teacher was demonstrating the extreme exothermic (violent heat-producing) reaction of sodium in water. He carefully removed the nearly pure metalic sodium from the kerosene in which it was stored, shaved a few small bits off the chunk, and dumped them into a beaker with about 2 liters of water where the reaction made them skitter around a bit before being consumed. Cool.

Then, as the presentation progressed, and the teacher started asking questions, he picked the sodium up with the tongs, and went to put it back into the kerosene. Distracted, he put it into the water - the whole chunk. His reaction? "Get the hell out of here!"

The room was a combined classroom and chem lab with slate top counters in the lab, etc. A very large room. He was at one end. They found glass embedded at the far end of the room. Plus a large scorch mark on the ceiling directly over where the beaker had been.

Fun times indeed, and very educational.   ;D

Would that be the little bottles that come with the MREs?   ;)

Ah, and cutting open those old large flash bulbs, then filling the remaining section with gun powder, from shotgun shells, and touching it to a car battery.

 Wait, Wait.   I do the same thing now AT WORK, though I use commercial flash and smoke powder, but I call it "special effects" .
