[Snowman8266]

How did make the pumpkin explode anyway? Did the build up inside just pop it or what? and I seen something like this on home imporvement once ; at the beginning; when we carve a pumpkin; we need more power!

A lit candle is placed inside and lycopodium powder is blown in (there a different methods, but a rubber hose running to a funnel inside the pumpkin with lycopodium powder in the funnel).

I like the use of the Candyman themesong.

after all WHY did it explode like this. what was burning inside that reactived so hard with the CO2 but not with the normal oxygen?

Imagine you put one pumpkin like this at the door and somebody opened em and found it. They would say wow nice and the BOOM :)

The music is almost hypnotic. I love this video and appreciate it not only because it is entertaining (and has awesome slow-motion parts), but also because as a chemistry teacher I understand what is going on.
