  • i tryed this and i thought it was a great idea man it shot so fast haha

  • Using steel for your candy motors is an extremely bad idea.

  • "how to make a grenade"

  • GRENADA!!!

  • Comment removed

  • the CO2 bottle are tested to 2000 pounds i used two 50 grain pellets in it and it filled it up the only thing that happened with two was it blew the plug out of the back of the engine made a big bang did nothing to the cartrage, thats 100 grains of black smokeless powder, two days ago i loaded kno2 and sugar and iron oxide in it it worked fine, im not saying this is ok to do im just saying i did it, in the 50's many people did it! David*

  • Did this a long time ago, rocket got a foot off the ground and exploded, bending a perfect "U" in the quater inch guide rod. Never found a single peice of the cartridge.

  • works perfectly, did that a couple of times.

    the acceleration is mindblasting. more like a shot from a gun and similar to a rpg due to the fast burn rate of the propellant (black powder). i recommend you step wide away when igniting that thing.

  • The title should be "How to loose a few fingers". I think this video has to be taken down.

  • 1 ft into the ground? No I dont think so. I've have done this though, you can fill a co2 cart with match heads for propellant... works very very well... people have done this since the 60's, it's nothing new. They used to launch them on "zip lines".

  • I did this a couple months ago. I filled one up with rocket candy and lit it. It burned fine for 3 seconds before the thrust kicked in, ripped it off its mounting, and flew 50 feet going what seemed like 150 mph into the ground. It made one hell of a noise and when we found it, it had made a crater 1 foot into the ground. One of the worst ideas in my life! By the way, can you use steel for regular rockets?

  • Are you an idiot?. Please set this off far away from other people. Better yet set it off in your pants so the wor;d is assured you cant breed

  • i figure aside from being potential shrapnel it would weigh alot too compared to paper or plastic

  • Audio is disabled :(, please re upload!

  • whats he trying to make?

  • For all you kids watching this...

    This is an EXTREMELY BAD IDEA.

    DO NOT USE STEEL.

    I AM a qualified research rocketeer. I fly the big stuff. I DO KNOW of what I speak.

    BOYCOTT WMG.

  • See, that's a mix of a thumbs up-thumbs down.

    I hate the WMG, so go you.

    But, depending on what you're going to put in said casing, steel might be ok, so thumbs down.

  • Hey Einstein... He's prepping them for a volatile mix of chemicals he and several other morons on u-tube refer to as "rocket fuel."

    Using the steel for that is beyond stupid. And if siomeone gets hurt, it's criminal.

    Now go back to your video games, mister expert. I don't need or want your validation.

  • Did he say rocket fuel, douchefag?

    No, he didn't.

  • You're not very bright, are you?

  • Agreed - I made this mistake as a teenager, and basically created a CO2 cartridge grenade that got very close to sending shrapnel into my vital organs... very bad idea to use these as an engine of any kind.

  • its a good idea

    co2 canisters are very strong because they have to support the big fresure of CO2, but will they support the temperature...?

    i am waiting the test video(s)

  • i use co2 canisters to make little cars.

  • how?

  • no, it was a subject in high schoolm where you get a bit of wood and then drill a hole in it with a spade bit then put a c02 canister in it and put it in a special machine

  • thanks man it make my rocket fly higher

  • ok, i did it and it flew extremly far, i marked 300 yards from my pad, that was the engine alone lol

  • hey i just made this case but how do i cap up the big hole that i grinded?

  • clay?

  • u don't

    it burns from the small hole he made

  • look after finally having great success with pvc motors like nighhawk sais a spike of any kind and boom.I had a pvc spike just because i inserted a small rolled piece of toilet paper to hold in a fuse,it blew and shook the hell out of me,look at one of my vids it shows it blowing up!I was twenty feet away and was hit with tiny pieces of pvc thank god it wasnt metal.

  • you suck but its gay

  • I've used these, they work great!

    Try filling one with match heads. They make a great propellant!

  • great start let me know how it works out,check my first launch in the backyard got at least 2,000 first rocket very dramtic launch!Your in my favorites.

  • what did you call it

  • Song I Walk the Line by Johny Cash

  • Song I Walk the Line by Johny Cash

  • if ya cut the OTHER end off you can reuse it as a 12g shotgun shell , putting caps in neck opening

  • Song is from johnny Cash or something yea. xD

  • this vid is homosexual

  • no your gay

  • Good song, bad place to put it.

  • thats suesidle useing metal caseings i use cardbord and a benotnite nozle and that goes 100-200 ft with a few grams of homeade bp (im in uk so i dont get pyrodex or whatever) and your way thats just stupid and im 13

  • lol, ok.. im 17, so? why does age matter? they worked.., maybe im tired of making PVC and cardboard ones?

  • i use co2 shells as shotgun cardridges,and they are even reuseable.

  • I hope you know that this is a quite dangerous method. You may be able to get away with sugar propellants, but anything such as BP would tear those canisters apart. Even sugar could cause a pressure spike hard enough to blow one of those. Shrapnel is never good.

  • i agree its best to stick with paper tubes, its a potential pipe bomb...

  • I tried it, It looks like it might work, but since i didn't have a cap, it blew off, but the first maybe half second it had SOME THRUST, and I only filled it up halfway, I will post vids soon

  • Looks promising, but i'd like to see the results lol. cant wait for you to post them

  • nice
