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.
