Constricting the neck until you get that "pop" means you're getting supersonic flow, which means the throat is choked, which means the pressure in the reaction vessel is increasing and boosting your reaction rate. The calculations for it aren't too hard if you want to control the reaction.

[@mamax7169]

I dont think that is a supersonic pop

[@CharliePhillips4]

He could calculate whether the gas flow rate is supersonic based on the expansion rate of the reaction and the tube measurements. I also doubt it is supersonic though

[@mattsoup4121]

@@CharliePhillips4 Reactions accelerate with pressure. The orifice boosts pressure slightly which increases reaction rate which increases pressure etc. Until you get choked flow. Only takes like 50psi to do it and these reactions run away fast.
