Soda can explosion

[Mudge]

I started out with the phone books, figured I'd try this one too and its not too tough. Next step is to just get the time down so that its quicker.

Damn that would actually be tough. Got his shirt dirty though.... :ugh:

That, my kitchen, and even my TV several feet away. It was only my second time doing it so I haven't learned all the tricks to reduce the time spent. If you add pressure with both palms to the center of the can though that seems best, I started out with my left hand flat against the can which is why it took so long.

When Manfred Hoeberl used to do this, a soda company estimated about 600# of force required for the trick.
