KERPLOOIE, SNOW! YOUR MOVE!
Who needs eyebrows?
Certainly not this guy!
Okay. so there’s two of us who thought of Mythbusters upon seeing this.
Oh, he lost his eyebrows during the show.
Multiple times. But no, I mean, when I saw the OP, all I could think of was “Jamie wants big boom.”
When in doubt… C4.
Exactly!
That’s only if you don’t throw it far enough.
I wonder what you could mix it with for some interesting effect.
Mix powdered sodium with (?, would calcium chloride still work and be stable?) and turn it into granules, cast that onto snow and ice, and have it glitter or spark as it melts the snow.
I didn’t say safe. I just said interesting.
That last sentence is the important one.
You probably could, but that sounds like a nightmare mixture that could go off with atmospheric moisture. Though I do not have enough chemistry training to say for certain.
You are probably right that it would be interesting.
Jamie want big boom!
When sodium reacts with water, it’ll create hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide. The gas will burn hence the explosion while the lye will end up corroding the road and contaminating the soil. So, it’s a bad idea.
Considering OP’s “KERPLOOIE SNOW” I’m pretty sure they’re aware of that and that was the joke.
This seems pretty volatile
(Also I’m responding this while listening to "She Blinded Me With Science)
The ice would melt, if that is your goal.
you’re not throwing table salt out on ice buddy.
Bet
Sounds exciting!
