Make a Smoke Bomb out of Ping Pong Balls

Step 5 Final step

Now Grab your creation because its ready to light. BUT!!! Make sure you light up the bottom of the smoke bomb because if you're just going to place it on the floor, it'll direct the smoke out through the straw. Now if you throw it, it'll direct the smoke through both holes (The one you cut, and the one you burned through) The point I'm trying to make is, that if you want to direct the smoke in a certain direction, place it rather than throw it, therefore burn the bottom.

Enjoy!! Watch our Video for a better idea, we'd appreciate it!!! Chemical Pranks Productions

if you want to throw just leave the straw out and ceal off the whole by sticking in a large peice of pingpong ball into the whol so that the outer shell covers that whol wrap it in tinfoil burn and throw

[Alexxm1129]

Can you stick a fuse down the "chimney" of the bomb to light it instead of heating the bottom?

[kve23]

if i was going to do that i would add something flammable that burns kinda slow like paper

[Goalie1]

um mine acted like a flame thrower.  What did I do wrong??

[duh-man]

mine did 2 but i stomped it out and smoke went everywhere! fun fun fun!

[Pyrosimon]

Because it says burn a hole in the bottom when really you should just heat up the hottom with a lighter

[Goalie1]

Okay, thanks. I was holding it near my face, which was stupid when it exploded!!

[ToddisI]

mine did to

[drant]

[flubs]

 thats what she said

[dungeon runner]

My god, your rapier wit bewilders me.

[flubs]

 cud it start a fire if yo lite it in a forest

[itachi1260]

does da smoke fade

[armin z]

what if i stufed balls into a small bottler would it be like house syzed smoke

[evfr613]

I'm worried somebody will call the fire department or the police. how much smoke is there?

[FallenSub]

Well not much really. Id say that VicAlexander used some sort of vid smoke effect in the movie, to make it look better. From my experience its not that much, dissapears quickly and stinks as hell

to light it

[#9EJV]

hey evfr613 do u know if u just catch the ball on fire

[jmanjman]

if you add food coloring it changes the color of the smoke.:))

[2cool4u]

yeah thanks!

[pyro4226]

sweet! thanks man.

[belac45]

this is a neat idea it would work really well for paintball XD would you be able to use other plastics or just ping pong balls

[RavingMadStudios]

Real ping pong balls are made of a form of nitrocellulose, not plastic. That's why they burn so quickly and leave so little residue behind. Using regular plastic would just create flaming glop.

[BADWOLF1]

so what exactly burns the bing pong ball?

[pyro4226]

i like the idea of the sparkler.also, try a fuse.

[hobie]

I had this idea. if I took maybe 3-4 inches of a sparkler and put it through the straw, could it be used as a fuse and would it still work just as good?

[totos]

NO! If you get a sparkler or any other source of open fire in contact with the plastic, it would be a napalm bomb rather than a smokebomb

[sowrdsman94]

probably better but you know that's just me

[pbjlee]

after u light it and the smokes starts to come out, how long does it last, how far does the smoke reach, and how to stop it?

[wh1tenegro]

will this be able to smoke out a hole room????... also what iif you taped all of the balls in a line and put a hole through all of them and then with the plastic inside, i would make 1 hole facing up and the other on the bottom, would that work?

[livinghighlander]

I was actually thinking the same thing as hobie or maybe a fuse from like a bottle rocket or something liek that you know something just to get the fire started
