OT: Two cans, some water, a drill and firecrackers equals...
... redneck fun.
ITR-FL and We-Todd-Did-Racing present...
How to shoot a can into the air with a firecracker.
First, Take two cans, one smaller than the other. Drill a hole in the bottom of the smaller can that'll hold the selected firecracker.
Second, add about 1" of water to the bottom of the big can:
Then, place a firecracker into the hole drilled into the smaller can and place the smaller can into the bigger can:
Next, lit and move back and take pics

Can you guys just buy explosive type fireworks where you live? If we are even seen looking at them here in Ca, we get fined. I had to smuggle mine in through Mexico. I've had nothing but fun since I returned. Best $10 bucks I have ever spent.

damn how the hell does it get that high in the air from a single firecracker?
The firecracker produces a positive internal pressure inside the smaller can. The water prevents this pressurized air from escaping around the bottom of the can, so the pressurized air forces the small can up into the air. Kinda like a piston will so if there's nothing stopping it's downward motion after air/fuel ignition.. (not really, but..)Marc: 75 feet? not sure I was looking through the camera viewfinder thing.
