Water Bottle "Magic" Trick

A great "magic" trick to show small kids or a fun way to kill time. Make steam come out of a water bottle without heating it. A simple pressure experiment that is very entertaining.

Step 1 Safety Warnings

1) Make sure you have safety glasses
2) Have a parent/guardian present
3) Do it in an open space
4) Point the bottle away from your body and your face

Yeah I losen the cap and stimp on it .I got to where it sounds like a gun shoot,but no steam comes out and you blow into the bootle and do it again!!

you actually dont need any water in the bottle, the water vapor in the air is plenty and the steam is caused by the rapid decompression of and rapid cooling of the air.

we had a kid shoot off one of these during a test in 8th grade. He did it again in the hallway and everyone hit the floor because they thought it was a gun shot.

Great experiment! I would just really watch out for where you're pointing it when you twist of that cap. haha
