Paging the lemonade-bottleisti

As a kid[1], did you ever put a little bit of water in a lemonade bottle,
pump the remainder full of air and watch it sky rocket? Strap a few similar
bottles to a person's back and....

Nah, you want to use lemonade/coke bottles for *much* better purpose. The
loudest explosion you have ever heard but with no flames, or property damage
(except windows and eardrums), and most importantly, no evidence.
1. Take 1.5L or 2L plastic lemonade/coke bottle and pour in about 3 cupfulls
of warm water.
2. Find 'spare' CO2 fire extinguisher.
3. Wearing thick leather gloves and eye protection, 'spray' CO2 into a dry
rag at close range for about 30secs.
4. Scrape CO2 'frost' from rag and 'squash' it together into a piece of dry
ice of approximately 2x sugar cube size.
5. Take lemonade bottle with water in it and squeeze it until it's fairly
well flat in the middle section. (this is your timer)
6. Drop piece of dry-ice into bottle and replace cap *quickly*.
7. Very quickly now place 'live' device in area reqd.
8. When the excess pressure from the solid CO2 going back to being a gas
builds up, the bottle pops back into shape. From this point you have about
5/10 seconds to run.
9. If all goes well and you have a good quality cap on the bottle, the
pressure builds up so quickly inside that the plastic stretches up to and
then beyond its elastic limit, then ruptures suddenly with a loud 'report'.

I've done pistol/rifle shooting with my own homeloaded ammunition and
pyrotechnics for years and still nothing comes close to the sharp concussion
of one of these beauties going off in a confined space (like when rolled
under a toilet door for instance! Allegedly)

Disclaimer: This can be dangerous. Do not try this at home, work or anywhere
else for that matter.

Very suspicious, the way he continues to accelerate upwards after
twisting round through 180deg.

Very neat, so who's going to volunteer for the UKRM tryout?

Silly fat fucker! I wouldn't go near a 'loaded' dry-ice bomb in full body
armour! I've had one go off near to me and I swaer I needed a change of
underpants afterwards!

Well it seemed like a good idea at the time... The fatalities associated
with such toys are well documented, was it the weatherboys who scored an
own goal with such a device in a rubbish bin and one got killed by
shrapnel?

Rule #1 always over-estimate the safe distance by a factor of 2

 

Complete bollocks - he's on some sort of wire.

 

Or ...

buy some fruit and sugar

mash the fruit and put in a water dispenser bottle because it's all you
have around that's of the right size, together with the sugar yeast and
water

Let it ferment, when it's stopped fermenting seal it up

Wake up at 5 am a few days later thinking a bomb has gone off

be thankful you have a servant to clean up the mess

 

Thick cunts.
