dry ice will give off CO2, in hot water, cold water, or even if you leave it on a table. Dry ice IS Co2

Yes that is correct solid co2 will work, but it is extremely hard to find, oh and it requires 18 years of age to purchase in the US.

will that black powder that came out of the battery blow up if you were to jus light that powder on fire

You mix it with Hydrogen Peroxide, and it produces Oxygen gas, put that reaction is a soda bottle, and wait till it blows! Manganese Dioxide will not burn.

u didnt even show a video on how it blew up
Ma77hew (July 13, 2007 at 11:56 pm)
I know, because i live in California where my neighbors are only 20 feet away from my house, and I've blown tings up before, and they threaten to call the cops. SO i didn't blow it up.

two questions, dose the battery have to be new and what kind did u use, Duracell?
Ma77hew (July 13, 2007 at 11:55 pm)
Yes it is a Duracell, but any brand of Alkaline battery should work.

yes, sometimes, WHAT IF YOU DON"T HAVE ACCESS TO DRY ICE? Its just as easy to grab a battery, and some hydrogen peroxide. MUCH cheaper too.
