Hybrid canon from bottle!

Harness the power of precision mixtures of pressurized flammable vapor. Safety first! These are advanced potato guns - not for the beginner.

A plastic soda/water bottle? having tiny pieces of shrapnel removed from you flesh in the ER isn't fun. You should do a TON of research before attempting a hybrid. You lose a couple of dollars if a pneumatic/combustion fails, but you'll lose either a arm, leg, head or torso doing this.

And to think that you were mocking me... aahhhh that breaks my heart.

NOOB!!!

Hey do think in his giant ego that he set off to prove us wrong and tryed to actually do this?? Maybe thats why he never wrote back again?? Because hes probably in the hospital getting peices of plastic picked from him like spedy said.

So so sad... :(

I want video or pictures, and I will still think it is BS.
A hybrid hydrogen/oxygen cannon in a bottle, if you actually tried, you would be dead.

H2-O2 doesn't produce as much pressure as many assume it does, and bottles tend not to throw shrapnel.

Furthermore, we don't know the mix he was operating at.

It's quite possible that he's telling the truth.

Well maybe you wouldn't die doing this, but I still think it seems far fetched and I'm interested to hear more details about the launches.

It's called playing the odds BLB, and regardless of actually gaseous pressure, the impulse and enthalpy of the H2+O2 reaction make this incredibly hard to believe.

we want pic and vids :)!!!!
well I suppose its BS
but it CAN be true some way.
With just a 1x mix (many people tend to call a fuel/oxy mix a hybrid)
And maybe his mix sucked bad ass giving relatively little power, who knows.

Show the pics or admit the BS man! :wink:

Amazing videos? Psh, screw that, I'm sending it to the Darwin Awards. I'm callin BS on this one big time. I mean seriously, I wouldn't trust H2/O2 in my Sch 40 combustion, let alone a soda bottle. And especially not at an increased pressure to begin with. That's just asking for hospital bills.

If this isn't BS, then Jaffe, you're my hero. :roll:
