Nice translation for us un-engineering persons.

I've posted this photo before, but I like it - how about upgrading to magnesium -
Funny you should mention that. Another experiment that I've been thinking about is to pour some magnesium filings into the gas filled bottle. I'm thinking that when it blows, the filings will ignite and give off that bright light. Copper filings could be used also, for different color flame.

On that note, one New Year's eve at Spangler there was something a little different. I remember being in my MH and seeing a flash from a mile or 2 away that was followed a second later by a boom that rocked the MH and made my insides feel really weird from the concussion. That happened several more times that night. Whether it was dynamite or an acetylene bomb, who knows. But I will never forget it. God help the campers that were close to this.![]()
jack daniels 1.75 L bottles work pretty good...
Jack Daniels Whiskey 1.75L
we lit one off and it was so big people from other camps came driving to see what the heck was going on and one of my friends wife was in the shower in her toybox and she came fyling out in nothing but a little towel freaked out...it was great.
the trick to NOT having the bottle shatter in our experience is not to drink a cold sobe down and fill it with the gasoline and put it right in the fire while cold...let it warm up slightly before inserting it into the fire.
my daughter did her 4th grade science project on sobe bombs...she got an A and it went to the county fair, but she was asked never to do that again by the principle.
she had pictures and a full report on how to do it even a video...funny as hell
we called it the principles of "internal combustion"![]()
Is this dad a DBA member?

I think that was last New Years. They were right across the road from you and did that several times.
