Quick Recap-
I was at my friend’s house today (let’s call him… Weston). Weston had his cousin over, “Cotton”. Cotton and I were talking and making fun of Weston’s room because he had a bunch of scented candles… a little too many.
Eventually we went to the movie theaters to watch a movie that we three had missed, The Omen. So! We were on the second story seating section with just about no one up there. There was a couple below us, but they weren’t really watching the movie if you get my drift.
Cotton decided for us that we were going to screw around with them. Weston busts out with this little match foil contraption that baffled us. He leveled it on the balcony railing, and asked for my Zippo. I promptly handed the Zippo when requested. He heated the end of it and it took off! And landed into the girl’s hair. It probably burned her hair and she freaked! She got up and screamed! Everyone was then pissed at her for ruining that part of the movie. We were cracking up and no figured out that it was us.
In this egg I will teach you how to make this match rocket
The egg-
Materials:
Box Cutter
Match (any type)
Foil
Ruler
First:
Cut out 1 inch by 1 inch piece of foil
Second:
Put the match on the midsection of the piece of foil. Experiment with placement, certain places gives you certain advantages. I.E: distance, accuracy, spin, or reliability
Third:
Now, fold the foil in HALF. Follow picture:
Forth:
Now here is the trickiest part of all the steps. You must now fold it long ways, but you have to give it a twist. And make sure it’s not air tight. Picture:

You have done it! Now for the video!

The end! You can shoot it at other people during class, or at the office, anywhere works!
Unfortunately it smells like sulfur when you have finished, therefore it will be semi-obvious it was you. And smoke is everywhere, making it more blatant. But it burns and it’s fun as hell!
P.S. Sorry for the shit quality images and video. It was all done with best intention. |
