Dont try this at home. Do it at a mates house.

its better to do it at your ex house

[@racheljavellana2111]

exactly 😂

[@secondhandfat3110]

so the actual experiment requires you to throw out the excess so it doesnt go everywhere

[@AndyClements]

But if you do it correctly then it doesn't make crappy sensationalist KZbin content.

Alcohol spray is the solution (As Known As Sanitizer Spray)

Rocket fuel = isopropyl alcohol 😂

[@raptor2265]

Or you can just use Everclear - almost pure ethanol works well too. In fact, the Nazi V2 ballistic missile used a 75% ethanol-water mixture (which is even less than the 95% of Everclear), and they ended up having to add some poisons to the fuel because the soldiers kept drinking the rocket fuel, LMAO.

[@rwill156]

Or hydrazine

I think that’s a little too much rocket fuel

[@dillonbledsoe7680]

I just comment that I've done this so many times when I was a kid and it never threw fuel everywhere.

[@nickbaylander6320]

If you put the cap back on and drill a small hole in the cap. You get a much better thrust

[@burtan2000]

yeah and probably less burning fuel flying out.

😂

[@MrMasterMarksman]

I used a washing machine hose screwed to the 2 lt bottle. I put gas in the bottle and lit the hose end where the fuel vapor came out. Was like a flamethrower/light

[@snarkysira9419]

"don't do this at home" makes one of the most basic experiments with isopropyl alcohol and a bottle 😂😂 good woosh bottle, though!

We did that as kids just spraying hair lacquer inside the bottle. Way "safer" as it was only gas. Fun as heck.

[@johnwiley8417]

One of Robert Goddard's liquid fuels was alcohol, too.

In Vietnam we had to used lark V crafts connected side by side forming a bridge to transport jet fuel from a ship. There was a vapor leak in the hole connection. The frames went into the engines of several crafts. The explosion 💥

[@michaelmcglaughlin9383]

[@rtcmedic]

I did try something close to this at home when I was 14 or so. Glass bottle, but sitting upright and a touch of gasoline sloshed inside. Got a awesome wosh sound with a jet shooting of fire coming out the top. Burned my right eyebrow clear off and singed some hair. :D

[@kieranklipz1185]

Imagine it blew up like an IED

[@talkntrash]

That bottle went 88mph

[@stickyfox]

Some Scandinavian people call akvavit "rocket fuel."

This I why you should always have baking soda on hand for when you are definitely not trying this at home. 😉😜

Rocket fuel, yeah sure if rocket fuel was just isopropyl alchohol

[@selami32]

Delorean tire effect nice

[@stephenantonsson_II]

Turning off the lights is very important. If the lights were on the fire would be invisible and people would get burned without even knowing why

[@DavidsonThomas808]

volatile fuel = alcohol probably

[@planktonfun1]

The trick is to coat the bottle and remove the excess

[@barneylinet6602]

It would be much more impressive if the fuel air mixture detonated in the bottle.

[@SciSlime]

So, I shouldn’t do this one in my second grade class.

[@GodlyNoghri]

Second grade's about when I was doing it... First unsupervised, then with instruction, guidance, and better safety. Go for it, but make sure to give the (elementary) physics/chemistry lesson before-hand, so that you can have a great discussion about what happened and why. You might just inspire a future aerospace engineer or astrophysicist with this. It worked that way for me!

[@fredrichardson9761]

Upright is a little safer and don't use anything more flammable than rubbing alcohol. Also, a rubber cork with two holes in it is impressive - just aim it away from you and everyone else. Things really get exciting as the bottle warms up vaporizing the (hopefully) small amount of alcohol you put in there.

[@eemoogee160]

Yes. Rocket 🚀 fuel does make us sick.

[@MadMax00215]

I just did it at home because you said not to. How do you like that, cheesy mcwierdo?

[@encinoman903]

I did this with acetylene, and the bottle just exploded.

[@anilkumarsharma8901]

Rocket🚀 fule Don't trust me😂😂😂

[@AnderTtm]

It’s rubbing alcohol if your wondering

[@etiennebrownlee4071]

You can also just spray alcohol inside the bottle, that way there's no residue fuel inside..

[@eklhaft4531]

You should pour the alcohol out. The burning vapour is enough to propel it.

[@nicholasvlamis5603]

It's just rubbing alcohol and it's very fun, albeit mildly dangerous, to do at home

[@firedup692]

Try this at his home

[@oreoman30]

Back to the future trail

[@budwood7230]

Volatile fuel? next

[@christophersavignon4191]

That's why you twirl, then hold it upside down and let the excess drip off before lighting an ethanol rocket. It's you who can't do it, because you're doing it wrong.
