what you do is you take a c02 cart*****.. one of the disposable ones.. gett rid of the co2.. somehow.. drill a hole in the side big enough for the matchheads to fit...

buy some matches.. cut off the heads.. and then stuff them into the container...

find some way to light it.. my friend and I used a lighter and another match that we fashioned into a fuse...

stand well back and wait.... it should go off like a gunshot the first time..

make sure you dont pack it all the way full or there will be no oxygen for the matchheads to burn..(duH..)

I can't say if this will work, not sure if there's enough force to actually blow the CO2 cart*****. If it isn't powerfull enough to expand and burst the canister, this may only propel it.

But if you say this works, I'll give this a try as soon as I get more fuses. I'll try and video tape it too.

Anyhow, thanks for your post Helix.

it doesn't blow it up but it makes a loud bang..

Sorry, I shoulda read more closely. Anyhow, that sounds awesome. I really want to try this out now. Thanks for the post again.

ive tried a few years ago it didnt explode but it did make a nice rocket engine

the trick is.. leaving enough room open for an explosion.. not a consistent flame..

if you packit full there will be no oxygen for it to blowup
