Home Experiment: Film Canister Rockets

This is a home experiment. Make a simple rocket using old film canisters or pill bottles. Make sure that you choose a bottle with a snap lid; do NOT use a threaded or childproof lid.

It would be a good idea to wear goggles, as you only get one set of eyes.

Be safe!

I am a HUGE Mythbusters fan, but I did not see the episode! I will have to look for it.

By far that is the best and well presented clip about 'Film Canister Rocket' MAGNIFICENT.

[ThirstForScience]

I realize you posted this months ago, but it didn't show up for me for some reason...Thank you very much!

[immagandu]

what chemicals are those?

[ThirstForScience]

You can use water and alka-seltzer tablets. They are available at any drug store.

Or you can just baking soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) and vinegar (acetic acid)

[RandomTVComedy]

[Berdalaire]

[ohmahgawdfilms]

Mythbusters used Alka-Seltzer to break out of a jail cell :|

[cotsioskkkkkk]

thank you!!!great idea for my science project!!!!

[DanceAndMusicForLife]

We're doing this in science...and the challenge is to blast the cap off of the film canister as close as you can to 20 seconds... would you know how much of the tablet and water it would take to do that?

@ThirstForScience It's pretty recent. It's in the most recent season.
