- hermitcrab 2y agoI'm not sure it is a good idea to do that indoors.
- blacksmith_tb 2y agoPossibly not, though that larger polycarbonate water bottle is quite heavy, compared to the 2 liter PET soda bottles NASA is suggesting for outdoor firing, and it looks like the "nozzle" is the uncapped mouth, which would also help to keep it from hitting the ceiling.
- hermitcrab 2y agoI would be more worried about setting fire to the building. Just seems like a totally unnecessary risk. But I have been called a 'safety Nazi'.
- michaelmior 2y agoMy high school chemistry teacher did this a few times with a water cooler bottle. In fact, the morning of our graduation, we were having breakfast at the school when he walked on stage holding a water cooler bottle and a lighter. I think he must have used too much alcohol that time because it blew out the bottom of the bottle and the rest of it shot several feet in the air.
- Retr0id 2y ago"too much alcohol" tends to make it less explosive because the oxygen ratio becomes suboptimal.
