Explosive Fun

JBP finally got to carry out a Mythbusters science experiment he's been waiting to do for weeks.

It has to do with chemical reactions (baking soda and vinegar) and pressure (mixed in a corked bottle). The idea is to build up enough pressure inside the bottle to pop the cork in an explosive manner. Needless to say, this was carried out under close adult supervision. Or, to put it another way, Der Deutscher ended up doing most of the work.

Here's a visual tour of the experiment.

Step #1: Mix the ingredients.


Step #2: Shake things up.


Step #3: Marvel at the explosion.


Step #4: Sit back and enjoy a job well done.

Oh! how wonderful! JBP was all excited when he was telling me about his plans for this. I'm so glad you posted pix.
