Remember the Mentos Coke geysers?
Okay this is better. This is so cool that, well, you just have to see it.
I found this on BL Ochman’s blog (she looks at the marketing end, not science) and the rest of the site looks extremely cool.
One very fun thing to notice in the video is the swinging pop bottles. Why? Physics of course! Note how the bottles swing with all the energy shooting out the top.
Now, could you make a rocket from this little experiment? Yes, certainly. Here’s the sticky part (pun intended), you have to engineer a way to keep the Mentos and the Coke apart until you’re ready to launch. I can think of several ways to try this … but boy the failures they would be a mess. Have a hose handy for sure!
