had a mad idea just now,

if a 2 litre bottle of diet coke and a packet of mentose can fire into the air about 5 metres can this be used as a method of propulsion? (windsurfer board and lots and lots of coke)

discuss.
600 732, will call it Sticks and Stones when i get round to it.
Also International 14, 1318

well the amount of coke you would have to carry to get a decent power output would be huge and probabley sink the board. You would prob need a few crates.

Use the diet coke for washing up, very good at cleaning burnt pans.

we did it 2 ways. first just put the mentos in the coke and get and impresive fountain. 2nd time we emptied a litle bit of coke out and put a paper towel in the neck of the bottel and dropped all the mentos in to that. then put the cap on and shook it up a it then threw the bottle on the gound. big bang and coke evrywere, the bottle was pretty much split in 2.

 

[semi-risponsable bit]

dont try this indoors, dont stand right over the bottle if you are dropping mentos in and dont throw the bottle at or towards anyone
