I designed a rocket out of a paper cone and a can of aerosol.

Here's what I did, I designed an rocket system where a charge of powder connected to the bottom half of a pop can attached to the aerosol can with duct tape shoots a needle into the back of the aerosol after a fuse sets off the charge. The flash lights match heads held to the end of the can by cardboard which ignites the pressurized gas released by the needle.

My warhead design is a sturdy 1/4 inch thick cardboard paper cone with a small hole in the front connected to the rocket by duct tape. I'll put a bullet primer into the hole and a charge of powder behind that and I'll fill the rest of the cone with high explosive. To set off the primer I designed a pin fuse with made out of a nail and toothpaste cap glued to the front of the warhead. The paper funnel allows for nails to be placed in as shrapnel.

[center]Sounds deadly... SOMEONE CALL THE FBI!
I don't think the ignition of the gas is necessary if it's pressurized enough.

I coulden't really get it that pressurized enough, So I decided to add the gas. Now I have to find somewhere to test it without getting in trouble with the cops.

I have a idea... The park!

Make sure you don't hit yourself or any innocent pedestrians with the nails... If you get sued/hospitalized, that would be bad...

Uhh... why do you need shrapnel?

Using aerosol cans I've invented...

- A hand held flamethrower with easy rechareablility.

- Jetpack. (many aerosal cans required)

- Instant bonfire kit.

- Make myself appear to be on fire.

- And of course a component in my revolutionary FIREWORKS GLOVES!

You would need to have like 20 cans on a single back pack, Or whatever you are using, Then you would have to light them all at the same time so you dont fly sideways.

How about I put the rocket in a package and send it to the post office... I wounder if they will scan it and think it's a bomb or something.

I'm sure the Post Office would be thrilled to see your little invention! bleh.gif

As for other Aerosol inventions...


Required:
- One Full Can of any super pressurized Silicone in a can
- 3 Candle's
- 5-10 BottleRockets
- A wick to connect all of the Bottle Rocket's
- Duct Tape
- A tripod or something. (A rocket launch pad works the best)

Additions for Funnier Explosion:
- Pellet Gun
- Marble's
- Gasoline
- Spray Paint Can

Procedure:
1. Connect the wicks of the rocket;s together so they can all be lit at once.
2. Duct Tape the rocket's evenly throughout the can evenly.
3. Set the "bomb" up on the table you're using.
4. Light the candle
5. Place the "bomb" above the candle
6 Sit back and laugh


As for the additional items...

Wait for the rocket's tp start lifting off, and just as it begins to go, shoot the side of the can and watch as it you have a spinning death ball.

Tape a bag of marble's to the can and shoot it when it is in the air.

Gasoline.
That one is self explanitory! bleh.gif

Spray Paint Can. Adds Color!
