Explosive Easter Antics - Shooting Aerosol Cans - Massive Fireballs

An Easter Sunday Experiment in Cornwall, to see what would happen if you shot a variety of aerosol cans with an air rifle. A .177 air rifle with telescopic sight was used with aerosols fixed in position, surrounded by lit firelighters to provide a flame to ignite the escaping gases.

The experiment produced some spectacular results which exceeeded our expectations with some massive fireballs, and in particular, jets of flame.

This was scientifically educational to all involved, despite the appearance of the video, safety was a top priority in view of the of the serious hazard that fire and explosions present. No persons were injured or building burnt.

A much safer and more elegant way of doing this is to simply light a candle and stand it about 6 inches away from the aersol can. That way, it's a smaller flame and you can also get the full effect of the aerosol explosion as there's no 'big' fire to start with.
