But you could place 4 or 6 fridges around so they stick to them :)P) (if they don't perforate them first)

Awesome vids!
I saw the napalm pepsi can experiment a while ago, using a modified whistling pete. A trash can was placed over it before it was lit and blew it about 8 feet straight up in the air, letting out a nice sized fireball. The trash can contained the fireblast so it didn't spread more than 2feet (fire extinguisher was handy jic) The can also landed perfectly over the fire and made it easy to put out (pure luck).
I know, I know...play with fire and get burnt, but it was so cool! It's the Beavis in me wanting to see FIRE!

Sorry to bump this, but have you blown anything else up?
I've been working on it immensely, but it seems everytime I wish to go and do it, I cannot, lol. I am aiming for this weekend, so stay tuned! ;D :p

EDIT: also, pic of my arsenal :p have about 35. you may notice foolishness coming out of the ends lol. this is because I sealed the ends with GORILLA GLUE. If you have ever used this glue, you know that it EXPANDS about 10 times its original size lol.

You should get some raw sodium and throw a chunk into water  ;D

Pretty crazy stuff.

Also what works really well and has a HUGE explosion noise is by putting a whole crushed Piccolo Pete (just use pliers and grind the outside of the firework, the powder will fall out) and put one piccolo petes worth of powder into a DRY 16oz bottle (the 16oz ones are the best, the rounder pepsi ones..not sprite ones... most other don't work except 2-liters) and then drill a small hole in the top of the cap.  Then just place your wick in the cap about half way, then light it and once the wick reaches the inside of the cap it will fall through to the bottom of the bottle igniting the powder...and damn, probably the loudest homemade thing you can make that isn't a pipebomb.

It's moderately safe too because all its basically doing is blowing up the bottle like a balloon with too much air.  And it just melts to plastic once it explodes, so no dangerous shrapnel flying around.

Also as said a 2-liter works well too, but you need about 2 piccolo petes worth of flash powder to make a nice boom with this one. And throw some monster blasts in there for good measure, when it explodes, it shoots the little balls out cracking all around.

Yeah, when I was younger my and my brother would make all kinds of crazy stuff out of the crappy fireworks you can get in California....were were actually using bullet casings for a while, but that was so damn dangerous.

I'm guessing that you linked to the wrong picture, but I lol'd. I think the Extra large one on your picture is more that 90g, add a 1 and a few zeros to that:crackup:

Well, that would depend on the pots, obviously. The stuff's cheap enough, just go with a pound if you REALLY want them melted. I melted a hole in clay with 6 ounces, and clay is MUCH harder to melt than cast iron (I've melted cast iron over a campfire!)

ROFL! It's because my old tinypic account got banned for reasons unknown. I guess they reuse the URL's :confused:

I don't have anything else, and I've made all the flash powder. I have over a pound distributed between these explosives. It's gonna be one hell of a 4th this year :D I still have about 3/4 pound of 4800 mesh german black aluminum powder if ya need any :p
