Me and some friends used to do chlorine bombs and rockets, this is something everyone can do. All you need is a plastic coke bottle (must be coke or pepsi or some acid cola). Drink all the coke leaving only just a little bit on the bottom (about two "fingers" deep). Now, get some chlorine (don't use tablets, and don't use chlorine dust too thin, it must be kinda rocky), and with a funnel put about 4 or 5 spoons of it. Do it quickly! Now, close the bottle as fast as you can and throw it away: the chlorine will react with the coke and the gases inside will expand and burts the bottle up. If you want to make a rocket, it's a little bit trickier, as you must turn the bottle upside down without letting the coke get out.


i may want to try it


You have about 4 or 5 seconds to close the bottle tight and throw it away. But don't worry it's not that strong, the bottle will bust out and make some noise, but it can't actually hurt someone.
