We did this today, it was the greatest thing ever. Disclimer: By reading on, you (the reader) assume all dangers of tonic rockets and will not come to my house and kick my ass (Seriously though, be careful) You need: One 2L bottle of Tonic Water Some pavement Someone stupid Some spectators DONT OPEN THE BOTTLE Shake it up and throw it on the cap Run! We did it today and I swear it went like 150 feet in the air. No joke. But please exercise caution as the force that this bottle is moving can cause minor bodily harm.
You shouldn't have told this to me . I like to set fire or to make explode everything around be (have you ever done a WD-40 flamethrower? Pretty cool, but be careful to stop your source of fire before the WD-40 or your bottle can explode). We want a video .
Hmm...I wonder if I can buy tonic water from the spa...if not it looks like a trip in town will have to do
cool i did a 15cm firecracker in a bottle last winter it flew in the sky, then it came on a car :wth: then i had to run
This has become an almost daily routine for us on lunch period. Ginger Ale (NOT SPRITE) and Ginger Beer also work really well The best way to hold it is to turn it upside-down and put your hand on the bottom and your other hand near the cap and smash it down on the cap. When smashing, take your hand off the end with the cap quickly and apply as much force as possible on the bottom. Try to get your face out of the way ASAP.
I'm going to try to get it on a digital video camera tomorrow, and get it up the day after tomorrow. Then you can see how cool they are
yeah this is cool to do, get a bottle of cheap cola, shake it, throw it up in the air when a cars coming along, and watch the bottle break infront of the car and spray all over it
Alright, I got the video. Its about 4 megs, I just need a host for it. If anyone wants to host it or tell me a good host, that'd be great.
try putting a mint (smints work best) into a really cheap bottle of lemonade, shake and slam on the ground!!! it shots along da floor BUT watch out for the top cuz u need to crack it and if u dnt it dusnt work (the cap flies pretty far)
Contact me on MSN ([email protected]) , I think I could host it for some time. Or PM me for my e-mail, I have 6 megs e-mail space.
