Re: One upping Dave: A Diet Coke and Mentos Rocket!

Tonight I got bored and decided to think about all the designs I have made up since Samm's grad party. Only one of them stood out as the easiest and safest way to do this.

My design uses the "Pop Top" spout from a Poland Springs water bottle to replace the normal cap for the diet coke. I made this work easily with about 2 minutes of work with a dremel tool. This will hopefully create the most likely weak point in the bottle and exert all of the created pressure out of it. As used at the party, I will use plastic wrap to store the mentos until the bottle is shook. The pop top has a clicked in position to keep the cap closed. This will hopefully pop open when there is to much pressure in the bottle. If this does not work, then it could also be manually opened. The spout restricts the opening from a .841 inch opening to a .298 inch opening, and should give it much more power.

I will be testing this design out tomorrow, and will repost my results.
