Pressure Bombs

06:00

As a kid, if you have ever been bored, then you have tried the works bomb before. If not? Why not try it now?! This experiment is Showcased in Episode 4.


How it works:

The works Bomb is actually a “pressure bomb” cause by Hydrogen gas build up. The reaction that is happening is caused by the Hydrochloric Acid in the toilet bowl cleaner, and the Aluminum foil [ Reaction: 6HCl+4Al--->2Al2Cl3+3H2 ]. With the pressure build up, the bottle eventually explodes.


What You Need:

  • The works
  • 12 oz plastic bottle
  • Aluminum Foil


Procedure:

Step One: 
Make about 10 aluminum foil balls a bit smaller than the bottles neck.

Step Two: Pour “The Works” in the bottle about 1/4 of the way. (3/4 of the bottle should be empty)

Step Three: Place aluminum foil balls into the bottle

Step Four: Close the bottle tight, and quickly!


Step Five: ???

Step Six: Watch the explosion.
