I wonder how they do that? My guess is that the bottle is filled about 3/4th the way up with water and then they just drop some small slits of dry ice in it. Not sure tho but im definatly gonna try that asap. I can get dry ice free from work so im definatly gonna be doing that.

Check this one out

You wouldn't need to go 3/4 with water. Maybe 1/4 water. As the water "thaws" the dry ice, the gasses expand. If you do this, slightly squeeze the bottle as you cap it, so it gives you a couple extra seconds. Also, MOST IMPORTANTLY, Use tongs when handling the dry ice.

mich less water= bigger boom!
Be careful.... Plastic shrapnel im sure would hurt

You'll be missin some fingers come tomorrow there Mich j/k hehe

A quote from another site.

DRY ICE "FIRECRACKERS"
Small pieces of Dry Ice placed in an empty one liter plastic soda bottle and then filled ¼ to ½ with hot water may explode 2 to 120 seconds after the top is tightly screwed on. It also may crack anywhere and just fizzle. Wear gloves and eye protection because the resulting explosion may dangerously push out pieces of the plastic bottle or the bottle top. A woman in Houston standing too close lost her eye from the ejected bottle top, so make sure no one is holding the bottle nor anyone is near it when it explodes. Although the explosion sprays mostly carbon dioxide gas and water, many municipalities classify them with more dangerous firecrackers and outlaw them. Southern Utah's "Spectrum", reports: "It's a felony to drop a dry-ice bomb in Utah." Sometimes these dry ice bombs are called "terrorist devices" and people using them are arrested. In our area several teenagers were jailed for three days for setting off these Dry Ice firecrackers. The logical defense explains there is no chemical reaction - only a change in the state of matter - from a solid to a gas. Unfortunately there may be a high cost in lawyers fees to persuade a DA or judge of this fact. Therefore DO NOT DO THIS IF IT IS ILLEGAL IN YOUR COMMUNITY! For safety DO NOT EVER ALLOW CHILDREN TO DO THIS. Always supervise children around Dry Ice. Of course using anything other than plastic bottles is even more dangerous and by no means should ever be permitted!

As Luke Writes August 11, 2004: "To everyone who thinks those dry ice firecrackers or what we call Dry Ice Bombs are fun, think again. Me and two other friends got arrested for doing it so look at your city's laws before doing it. I did not get the idea from this website if you are wondering."

Okay, that looks dangerous. I would not encourage anyone to imitate this, except me. I am totally going to try this. That was one of the funniest things I have ever seen! I will be the coolest dad on the block! (except for all my neighbors who will hate and fear me for ever).

Same kinds of fun can be had with a plastic bottle, some aluminum foil, and a little liquid drano (or muratic acid if your impatient).

Now THAT, I would not try.

I saw concession workers on Navy Pier making these dry ice bottlebombs. They were dropping them over the side of the pier into the water!!

Care to elaborate...I think I have some muratic acid in the garage...

why not just mix up some thermite and see if you can get it to work?
