By the way, I notice a lot of people seem to carbonate warm liquids. It is known that gasses (non polar) dissolve more readily in cold water and salts (polar) dissolve more readily in warm water. So for maximum absorption of CO2, make sure your drink is ice cold before adding CO2

perfectly safe as far as the bottle holding up, I put 180 pounds on my setup (20 oz, 1l, 2l, & 3l bottles). your contraption for the top, I'm not too sure about. when I made mine, I just used a valve stem, took the valve out, drilled a small hole through the cap, attached the valve stem there, 1/4 in hose to a couple ball valves and it worked fine, much cleaner and quicker. also turning the bottle upside down in introducing the co2 made it carbonate much quicker. best of luck, Dave

wow... that video looks pretty dangerous! Not sure if I would try that without protective gear, you have a little bottle rocket in your hands.
