This Happened .... When I Over-Inflated a Pop Bottle ! 

Just curious what might happen if you completely duct tape a bottle from top to bottom. Would it increase the fail pressure?

So true! The whole recycle box was full of plastic shrapnel!! I had the most fun doing this video. You didn't know when the bottle was going to explode. Scared me every time!

recycling plant. ie landfill, roadside verge, incinerater, india or pacific

That would be really cool!!

I liked it too.

Now you should try wrapping it in some duct tape to see if that can strengthen the bottle. XD (I wouldn't use even a regular plastic bottle for an air tank, big safety hazard. But yeah, would be interesting to see if it could hold more pressure with duct tape.)

+Ride84XL This was such a fun video to do! You never knew when they were going to let go! Yes, those fridge, dehumidifier, a/c, mini fridge compressors will all pump up to high pressure but they do it slowly. Each of the 2L bottles took about 3 minutes to get up to failure. I sped up the video so it wouldn't be boring.

Interesting. That would go off with quite a bang! I know they start out as a test tube shape. How small will they shrink back with a hair dryer do you think?

Chris Notap About halfway back to the test tube shape.

+gammarayburst I wish I had one, the footage would have been sweet! I did this in my garage and I was outside with the doors closed and it still scared the crap out of me when they went off!!!

Cancelling Netflix......the best compliment ever!! Thanks!

You noticed! I was looking for a good way to keep track of all the footage. They worked great!

Welcome to 2020!! Happy New Year!

@@chrisnotap lol happy new year to you and yours as well! I kept looking at the tiles and all of an sudden I was lol "I know what those are!" I spent many hours playing that game with the family growing up. Sadly the newer games are made much more cheaply, and lack the thick solid tiles like you have.

Schedule 40 pvc pipe is rated for 40 psi , beyond that could be disastrous if it explodes unlike pop bottles it can form chards that could lacerate someone near by. NOT GOOD!

@@robrobinson9281 SNOWFLAKE ;) I'm 67 and in my day we just did it - but we had common sense - something that's been eradicated by H+S regs

I agree. That'd be awesome.

Backyard Scientist did it with a dry ice bomb

mr. cat, At 1000 ft depth it would take 563 psi to blow it up.

Yes they are!! If I'm not mistaken they can compress air up to around 400psi! How did you go about changing the oil? They don't really need the oil changed. By nature they use oil when used in this way. So you only need a way to check and top up the oil if necessary.

@@chrisnotap yes it was originally scavenged off an old freezer upside down in a junkyard so it was already almost out of oil. I drained out all the remaining oil and replaced it with some dirtbike 10w40. I also put a cutted off foam paint roll on the pipe that suck air as an air filter so dust and stuff won’t get in my oil

+Mike Hauss That's what I thought too that the moulding must be very precise to have them fail at the same pressure. On the shelf at the stores these bottles are at just under 50 psi and you never hear of a bottle failing on the shelf in a store. Back in the day when they used glass, people were lined up with lawsuits with glass shrapnel injuries from bottles blowing up. I bet the number has dropped to zero since the inception of these new PET bottles.

Hypnos Stratagem but thats standard with any kind of tank, plastic or otherwise. it has to do with the surface area of smaller bottles also being smaller

PET is what these are made from. If they are heated they will shrink. Try putting hot glue on an empty one. It will distort and shrink. Putting heat to it under pressure will be difficult to control and could create a weak spot for it to let go. I'm not sure if what you are trying to do can be done with basic things that you and I have. Not much help, I know, but good luck. It's all about experimenting though. Be safe.

You should only fill it to whatever the can came with. That shouldn't be hard to find. That way you know it will be totally safe. You don't want to be filling it to near max. Not a good idea. Stay safe.

@@chrisnotap Unfortunately the chinese made product doesn't seem to care so there are no description of the psi limit written on the can...i can only guess that's why i thought you might have a general standard test for the limit pressure of an aerosol can so i can weigh up my own judgement ...so far i can only guess but it seems under utilize so it runs out of air very fast

Do a thorough google search on the pressure in an aerosol can. There will be a standard that they hold since they are so widely used. Don't go beyond the standard pressure spec.

Be safe. Hearing protection, leather gloves and safety glasses when filling.

best comment on RU-vid - EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@CosmicSeeker69 Ha. Not really.

I would agree a normal cap would let go first yes. I made up a stronger cap so as to find the limit of the bottle. Pop bottles stored on the store shelf are at 50 psi.

Exciting as hell doing it too!! The noise was loud!!

That would have been interesting!

I know the flimsy water bottles blow up at 90-100 psi and are extremely loud.

that's simple maths

Nick Andersen yea

No sorry I don't.

@@chrisnotap and will it be? :)

Thanks for that! I have an extended version of this video I may upload.

Forka137 100 psi would be about right

or, if you could sleeve it

Actually one said 220

No I have never tried that. I would say the noise would be the same since it is just compressed air in the end. I can tell you though that the slomo noise in the video is much closer to the real noise. I did each bottle in my garage, doors closed, me outside, and it still scared me each time!!

Chris Notap sounds like fun. Ima have to try this and compare. But I am thinking the same thing as you that it should be no difference in decibel level. Unless the carbon dioxide does something funky to where it some how allows the sound to be louder. Be very very very very careful though if you do the dry ice compare. They are highly unpredictable when they go off. Too bad you didn't have a pressure guage that automatically records the exact pressure at which things go pop. How far away from them were you where they blew ? and could you feel a compression wave? I know when I tried the dry ice in the pop bottles it was loud as hell. And you could feel the compression wave from a good 10 feet away. Definitely want to be wearing some good ear plugs if your that close. And if you do try this experiment try it with as many and as large clumps of dry ice you can. Gives you more time to get the cap on once you have the dry ice and water inside.. crushed dry ice blows it rather fast. So fast I had one go off just before it hit the ground about 40 feet away. Too bad you don't have a decibel meter that would be some other cool data you could collect.

Thanks for that. I couldn't find information also, that's why I made the video.This was in fast motion so it wouldn't be boring. Each bottle took about 3-4 minutes in real time to get up to failure. Thanks for commenting.

I had this set-up in my brick garage, I stepped outside for each test and the noise scared me each time it was so loud!!

Ears of steel.

I used a tornado tube amzn.to/2zrJiVT I cut it in half. Drilled the hole bigger and installed a tubeless tire valve in it. amzn.to/3eGwRpj

You cannot inflate a balloon inside one of these bottles. It won't inflate. Try it. It's a fun experiment.

@@chrisnotap actually i've done that years ago in school project. make hole in cap for the schrader valve to insert it through. fix a balloon to that cap part or something. and you'd see it expand inside. that's what makes me wonder since i watched this video which YOU have the resources than I have. i know it's fun.

Fridge compressors have the ability to compress air up to 400PSI.

Ya can you make me a bottle pooping compressori love to pop bottles

When these bottles explode, they go off with a very loud bang. When I made this video I had the rig in my garage to prevent shrapnel injury. I closed the doors and waited outside about 20 yards away. It took about 3 minutes to get each one up to pressure before they popped. Every time they exploded, I jumped. I never got used to it. Very loud even outside the garage.

They do make a very loud bang for sure!!

The 2L hold about 50psi sitting on the shelf in the store. That's a safe amount. You could probably go a bit higher without issue as long as it's a fresh new bottle.

@@chrisnotap how much higher 60? 90? 100? More?

It would need to experiment.

Bruh Why would you take it from a friend

I had it set up in my garage, doors closed and I was about 30 feet away outside. Each time a bottle went off it scared me each time. It was very loud! But also a lot of fun!

As2ronaut answer: 0 it doesnt work like that.

I don't have a gauge high enough to measure but from what I've read they can go up to between 400 and 500 psi!
