Bottle Bombs

Fun and fairly safe bombs, with easy to get ingredients.

Step 1 Get the Ingredients

I got everything for a dollar at Piggly Wiggly But almost any store should have these.

Vinegar
Baking Soda
Box of Tissues
Any bottle with a screw on lid

insead of using baking soda and vinagar, i use tinfoil and hydrochloric acid (75%-100%) it works A LOT better, and no tissue needed

[ilpug]

that is a felony.

[ghicken]

Well at least it's really fun to inhale!

[ilpug]

I bet.

[awsome]

I would pay anyone to develope an "exploding bottle" without using vinigar/baking soda.

The Works and tin foil balls into a bottle look it up... look up The works bomb

[lance mc]

dry ice is loud 2L- bottle, water, and dry ice big bomb pay me ha ha

[knoxarama]

use little balls of aluminum and fill it up to 1\7 of the bottle with them. then you add 'the works' or any other toilet cleaner, shake, make sure its air tight, and watch it explode. noted, the gasses flooding out from the bomb is a whole lot of hydrogen. it came from the reaction between aluminum and the fluids. the bottle also becomes very hot.

This is very dangerous and should NOT be experimented with. People have lost fingers and have gotten bad burns doing this. You can also get into SERIOUS trouble if you hurt someone with one of these.

toilet cleaner or just muriatic acid, which is the same thing, hydrochloric acid

[El Mano]

They're called "Dry-Ice-Bombs". You can replace vinegar and baking soda with water and lots of Alkaseltzer (Alcaseltser?, Alcaseltzer?) and/or fizzy bathbombs. Also, I've read that making a Coke-and-Mentos prank bottle, replacing a Mento with a chlorine tablet and the Coke with a little bit of gasoline, makes quite the bomb.

[The Red Button]

no. a dry ice bomb uses dry ice. this is works bomb. bit different. i hear the works bomb can burn/melt you.

coke + mentows

[bop96]

all you have to do is put "The Works" (toilet bowl cleaner)in a bottle then wad foil up (that will fit in the bottle) then put the foil in the bottle and screw the cap on. it takes 2-3 min.but it makes a bigger boom

[M4industries]

HCL at pool supplies stores is a much better substitute.

[The 4th Doctor]

That makes hydrogen gas right? so do that near a small fire for a fiery explosion!!

[M4industries]

I have never tried this, but from what you said, this is what I would do...
 
I would plant a sparkler a few inches down wind of the bomb (Where the white cloud travels) Then I pour it in and cap it.

[solux]

Supposed to make a weak to mild acid too. Illegal in some parts of Kentucky ^.

[redb1rd]

Hey u know what I already have!! It's a little thing called dry ice + water in bottle.

[yeerk21]

LOL

[monkeywithawrench]

take a 2 leter coke bottle and brake up and squish small dry ice chunks through the opening. when your ready to set it off put about 1 teaspoon of water in it and close the lid QUICKLY!!! you can throw it or just set it down. BUT MAKE SHURE TO RUN. OH YEA, YOU MIGHT WANT TO COVER YOUR EARS. ITS LOUD. watch this video first. its important if you want to keep your fingers!
ps. i didnt make this video. i haven't recorded any of mine

[ladiesman247]

yah right that soudn for the first bomb.sounds fake.... liek one of those BOOM!!! 's in wsar movis by tanks....

[monkeywithawrench]

how about a dry ice bomb? its cheeper and more powerful than a drano bomb. the one madhops0620 is reffering to is called a drano bomb because they were originally made the same way, but you would use Drano brand pipe cleaner and pipe uncloger. the Drano was stronger that "the works" brand stuff. try a dry ice bomb.

[madhops0620]

If you take scraps of tin foil and put them in the bottle so it covers approximately 1/4 to 1/3 of the bottom, and then take "the works" brand toilet bowl cleaner and put it in the bottle and cap it, it will make a HUGE explosion it jakes take 3 or 4 minutes to go. What happns is that a chemical reaction takes place and it forms a gas and it gets hot so it will turn white and bubble up right before it explodes

[awsome]

so is this one good for throwing or just plop it down and run?

[madhops0620]

ive only ever sat it down and watched. Theres so much pressure though and it gets so hot that i wouldnt weanna through it in case it went off in my hand. Or if youre talking about throwing like in this one then i still wouldnt want to becausethe chemicals can burn your skin if theyre on their for awhile but its fine if u just get a little on you and wipe it off

[monkeywithawrench]

it forms hydrogen gas. is you do that and put a big balloon over it, you can fill the balloon with hydrogen. leave the balloon duck-taped to the bottle, it gets huge, but if your careful it won't pop. tie nylon string to it and run. its more fun that way because you get a HUGE fireball!!!! also the liquid left in the bottle is acid and WILL kill grass. your parents will get Pist Off!!!

[awsome]

That happend to my friend...It hurts to be burned.

[James (pseudo-geek)]

its far more powerful than a baking soda bomb, it you get a strong bottle.

[ladiesman247]

get a bottle and put sparklers inside them about 10-20 sparklers. and light them and hurry up and screw on the bottle cap,before all spark is gone. adn it explodes. now you were saying. money?1 eh..... lol! heh (im 12 btw) k that was kinda random

[ladiesman247]

yah i jsut found that out... waht do i do?

[monkeywithawrench]

also, it will melt the bottle

[monkeywithawrench]

that would be a sparkler bomb. look it up on youtube. your making it wrong.

[awsome]

sorry...I'm broke(for now anyways) But, how would you fit 10-20 sparklers in 1 bottle.and could you substitute the sparklers?they outlawed fireworks where im from.

[ghicken]

If you use the smoke bomb recipe ( Here ) just with different amounts you get a good explosion , I used 200 grams saltpeter and 80 sugar.

[ladiesman247]

erm... srry dude thts the only way i hav dun it! i dont really no an other way. btw.... im 12 s o i dont really no ,much about thsi and am jsut beginning to take an interest

[awsome]

OK...Sparklers don't explode...do they?

[ladiesman247]

no not really. but bcus of all the gases and stuff make the bottle expand so much the bottle cant take it, so it explodes and goes BOOM!

[ladiesman247]

em after u put the lid on after u put the sparklers on on i suggest u throw unless you want to donate a hand to heaven! (or hell) lol
