I will be there!
Do I need to bring anything?

Grateful Diver · Post by **Grateful Diver** » Sun Jul 23, 2006 5:22 pm

If I can get a reasonable head count, I can order pizza (I was planning to, actually).

What about beer or other drinks?

I'll be there!
6:30 pm.
Pizza and some soda (Mountain Dew , Coke or whatever?)
Hey? What about some Iced Tea? or Lemonaid? Or lots of Ice Water!!!

Maybe we can have some Diet Coke And Mentos to demonstrate Gas Management or the lack of management.

Gotta go....I'm thirsty now!

BASSMAN · Post by **BASSMAN** » Mon Jul 24, 2006 8:59 am

I'll bring a couple of two liter Sodas (For drinking)and $10.00 for Pizza.

I might even bring a package of Mentos.
Someone else can bring a bottle of Diet Coke
My Mentos your Diet Coke = An exsplosive relationship!

Of course, this is still pending Bob's approval to create a mess.

Bob?

I guess I'm just not onto this Diet Coke and Mentos thing ... wasn't planning on blowing anything up ... just want to talk about gas management.

Sounds good to me! Learning about the gas management is much more important.

Sounder, we should wait until we get together for a dive, and try it then.

I dont see how that could be done without making an incredible sticky mess, other than just doing it in the water!

mentos seem to cause the solubility of CO2 in coke to reduce dramatically and the CO2 rapidly comes out of solution.

i've been wondering if you could create a 2L coke bomb by emptying it half out, suspending a mentos from a string off the bottlecap and then tipping it over from a suitable distance...

we made 2L bottles explode at the astromony observatory in E wash by putting a little liquid nitrogen in them and capping them... the mentos bomb would be hella messier though...

Sounds more like a violent demonstration of Henry's Law than anything to do with gas management ...

As strange as it sounds, I just happened upon this topic. I'm definitely interested. I've got it on my calendar and I'll be trying to find someone to carpool with. Maciek?

I have several MRE heaters that make a very satisfying BOOM if you know what to do....you can make teargas if you add a little tabasco sauce

the 'stock' way of doing this is just a sticky foamy fountain. find a way to cap that and you should build up pressure until the container ruptures... =)

I do not condone the actions of my fellow soldiers......I just laugh at their expense.

dang, we stuck an office trashcan over a 2L bottle and when it exploded it completely peeled back the trashcan and split all its seams... lot of energy in that plastic bottle when it goes actually... i personally wouldn't put anything like that on my chest...

Grateful Diver · Post by **Grateful Diver** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 5:16 am

Don't mean to be rude here ... but perhaps you guys should start your own Mentos and Coke thread.

This one was supposed to be about my Gas Management Seminar, and I'd like to not bury that topic with a thread hijack.

Thanks ...
