Homemade bomb

I have seen this work
What we did was get a coke bottle and put in some acid in it. The guy who we got the acid from couldn't tell us what it was exactly, but I've heard that "metoric acid" is good. It is used for cleaning pools or something. Another alternative is toilet bowl cleaner. From what I've heard this takes longer to explode (about five minutes) but using pure pure acid will errupt in about 10 seconds.

Once you've put the acid* in put balls of alluminium foil in the bottle and screw the lid on.
Either throw the bottle or run  or both.

The acid will eat away at the foil and create a gas, eventualy the gas will cause the bottle to explode. 
Remember your TBC may have more acid then what you've heard about so it might explode much sooner. I wouldn't hold on it for more then 10 secs when first experimenting.


I'm trying to build a database of realistic experiments but  cannot assure the safety of anyone who try's them. It is quite possible you could be seriously injured or even killed as a result of trying these experiments. You are completely responsible for any damage that you cause as a result of one of these eperiments.
