holy crap

ok, i have never done a works bomb and i didnt even think it would work. but i was wrong. it works well. except the thing is how much to shake it and knowing when to throw it. for ten min. me and my friends were just wondering if it would work after we made it. and then as my friend was coming around my other friends house it started getting hot. so he threw it in the driveway, but then my other friend kicked it to the end of the drive, then just a second later it exploded.👍

a volenter fire fighter came out of his house and asked what happen all we said was" oh we're just screwin around with a works bomb" and then he just started laughing and said that awsome.:)
 
Nature makes sticks available for a reason. Please don't decide to kick something that explodes again.

explain what a "works bomb" is

ok so here we go:

First: take a empty plast water bottle.

Second: pour about an inch or so of liquid toliet cleaner

Third: take tin foil and roll two sticks, roll it up tight, like your making a worm out of playdough, make them as tall as the bottle.

four: insert the two foil stick with the bottle with cleaner.

five: screw on cap

~to activate bomb shake~

but be careful this bomb can burn skin and kill grass so it never comes back.(the grass never comes back, not your skin)

if you do do this and the bottle gets hot or increases in size throw it and get away.

another thing is that we had a person that is prolly 100 feet or so away and they heard it. so it is kinda loud.
 
I found it works better if you crumple the tin foil into man small balls. I dont know if you actually need to shake it though. I usually just put a bunch of "the works" toilet bowl cleaner in and a bunch of small balls. And it seems that the brand "the works" is the best one to use too.
 
This just makes me wonder what would happen if you put every element on the Table in a water bottle with tin foil and shook it.

Now, can the foil be aluminum or tin specifically?

Another note, rolling the foil into small balls like Boz Mon does would increase the surface area that the cleaner could react with, so it should make a bigger explosion, or at least a quicker explosion.

And is there a certain brand of toilet cleaner that works best? Obviously the bomb was named after The Works cleaner, but are there any others that work better? I've never experimented with this stuff--yet--so what kind of advice could all you pyromaniacs give an eager beginner?
 
Tips for anyone planning on doing this:

DON'T USE A GLASS BOTTLE. Glass, unlike plastic, doesn't like to expand. When the pressure is great enough, a billion tiny pieces of glass is not a good thing to be wizzing by your head. Trust me.

IF YOU DO THIS IN THE WINTER, GIVE IT EXTRA TIME. It takes longer, so don't go over to it thinking it was a dud or that you did something wrong.

BIGGER IS BETTER, BUT REQUIRES MORE CAUTION. Or in the words of Uncle Ben, "With great power comes great responsibility." We commonly used a 3 liter bottle for our works bombs and on one occasion leveled a 4' wood fence. You have been warned. I'd strongly suggest doing this out in the country, not in town.

One of our bombs completely inverted the bottle back around the cap. Fun times.

Now go blow something up. Just not yourself. :D
 
They may well be the same thing. But some idiot really screwed up when he decided to call the same thing by those two different names. Tin and Aluminum are two different elements, numbers 50 and 13, respectively.

Thus my question--is tin foil or aluminum foil required?

Hilarity would ensue. The alkali metals with water would most likely violently and instantaneously cause the vessel to explode, (accelerated by the oxygen and hydrogen), leaving you in a cloud of halogens, noble gases, various radioactive material, and other toxic elements such as bromine, mercury, and arsenic. And dont forget the transition metal shrapnel.

And you would even need to shake it!

:scared:
