Oxygen and acetylene in a plastic bag + a sparkler = THE BIGGEST BOOM I HAVE EVER HEARD. Omg. My buddy did this in the garage, with the sparkler on a 6 foot pole. My ears were ringing for so long, and damn was that intense. ---

YES, HRK, we are planning on doing a garbage can tonight. Sealing the top of the can, then drilling 2 holes and pumping it full. Maybe light it with a really fucking long fuse? ---

> [@98 Red Ex](#): > > So no imput on how to get a garbage can to fly a hundred feet in the air? put the garbage can top don in the dirt, shove it down a little to seal it , drill one small hole and fill it with acet. hire the idiot kid next door to light it with a match, preferably tell him to sit on top of it so he gets launched into orbit too 🙂 honestly, best way to light it is a quick trip to niagara hobby, buy a pack of model rocket ignitors, and use a pair of 50 foot extension cords as the “leads” to the battery you use to ignite it start small with the amount of acet. and work your way up, to much will rip the garbage can apart ---

i true pyro would NEVER forget about rocket ignitors 😛 if rocket ingitors arent available, you can always just use a piece of thin gauge wire looped from one prong to the other on the end of the extension cord and a 12V car battery on the other end of the extension cord to force the wire to burn up … ---
