Intro: Match Rocket/cannon

This is how to make the BEST match rocket!

*DISCLAMER*
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INGERY OR DEATH. (you wont die unless you do somthing really stupid (like pouring gas on it))

So, let's get started!

STEP 1: Supplies!

Here are the things that you will need!

2 heavy duty STRIKE ANYWERE matches (They have a grey tip). (strike on box doesent really work so well)
Tinfoil.
a box for matches.
a lighter.

STEP 2: Make It!

Curl the tinfoil like so. (pic 1)
Stick the matches in just like there. (pic 2)
Then twist it closed! (pic 3)

STEP 3: Shoot It!

On the video yes that is me saying OOHPH! in a saprano voice but hey, I did not expect it to work!

When i tried it, i didnt stick the cannon in the matchbox. Did that effect anything?

popscott3 13 years ago

No, but the cannon needs to be elivated to shoot.

chamster 13 years ago

What do u mean by elivated?

popscott3 13 years ago

It can't be touching the ground.

chamster 13 years ago

I held it in my hand. and also, do u think i wrapped the tin foil too tight?

chamster 13 years ago

Could u light a stike on box match and stick it in there?

popscott3 13 years ago

This is the reply for the recent one that you posted... I couldent access it...sorry
but you just have to put the flame so it is contacting the tin foil! And no, I don't think you are dumb!

popscott3 13 years ago

Well yes, if there is no wind because if there is wind then it goes out!

chamster 13 years ago

I tried it, but w/ a lighter, and it didnt work

popscott3 13 years ago

Really? What was the problem?

chamster 13 years ago

what happens when u shoot it?

popscott3 13 years ago

Well the top match flies out in a flurry of flame and goes a fiew feet and drops to the ground. Don't worry I have had one blow up in my face and it dident hurt that bad, see fire doesent hurt if you touch it for less than a second!

popscott3 13 years ago

Well, you need a match or lighter (i find that lighters work the best) and put the flame onto the tin foil and after about 10-20 seconds it fires!

(The tin foil gets so hot that it lights the matches inside on fire sending the match flying!)
