How dangerous are dry ice bombs?

put it this way. if a sharp shard goes flying off and gets lodged in him, he wont be very happy. also if dry ice gets on him, he wont be very happy either. itll burn your skin if you touch it with bare hands
 
yo dry ice bombs are maddd loud- so loud that in a closed room you can blow someone's eardrums out. So if you want to seriously imair the person's hearing, then go for it but he might not be able to hear for a looooooooooooooooooooooong time afterwards
 
I'm afraid you don't know what you are talking about sir. You can touch dry ice with your hands just dont grip it and hold it for 10 seconds like a retard.
 
i dont know about making a person go deaf but i guess it could hurt their hearing. it depends on the size of the room...
 
dry ice wont burn you ive touched it for at least 15 seconds and nothing happened just make sure no ice stayes on him for longer
 
no ive held dry ice, it doesnt burn skin

and for the bomb, it depends on what you put it in

like a waterbottle wont do that much damage
 
bullSHEIT! Maybe your confusing what you thought was dry ice with Styrofoam but that shit is over -109 F. You touch that stuff for more than half a second and its gonna hurt. I know. I had a project with it once and i was stupid enough not to use gloves when trying to break it up. Man that hurt
 
dry ice bombs are not that dangerious. i have has them explode in my hand many times the only danger withthem is they are fucking loud. you can handle dry ice with ytour bare hands and not get burned if you do it fast. i put it in my mouth too and blow dry ice rings. as long as you have a thing cover of saliva on your tounge you wont get burned at all. i say throw it in the room.
 
well they dont really do much except make a delightful boom. i had one blow up in my hand 2 years ago (it was super sunny, and i had never done one during the day prior to that) so it cut up my hand, scared the shit out of me, and made my ear ring for about 5 minutes, but that was about it.

do it
 
if the kid didn't know you threw it and you ran really fast, who cares what it does to him and his room
 
fuck i hate being lied to when i was a kid. my friends mom used to always get that shit cause it would come with alot of the meds she got for her store (shes a pharmasist) and she said it would burn our hands if we touched it. never really thought anything of it until now
 
I worked in a lab this past summer and dry ice is mad fun to mess around with. u can hold it, but it does burn ur hand arter a while. i would fill ballons up with is, then tie them off and put them in someones desk and eventually the ice would evaporate and the ballon would pop, scareing the person at the desk shitless. I also shot test tubes at people. the stuff is really powerful though, so watch out.
 
All it would do is make the shrapnel get inbeded into his body like a grenade blew up close by, and possibly have some major hearing loss...nothing too big right? haha.
 
he may be bnned but hes come back as huckifyoubuck. i dont think he posts anywhere anymore though

 
Don't do it. It's not funny to fuck with someones hearing for the rest of their life. Unless they reallllllly deserve it.
 
Yeah. First you get some dry ice and gloves or somethin protective. Then you put it in maybe a half full bottle of water, then twist the cap on good and shake it really good. Then throw it...I did it in the lake at scout camp and it took about 10 seconds to blow up. Loud as hell though. That would explain why they scout people found us, and the water flying 20 feet in the air.
 
for you people who don't think dry ice will burn your skin, you're right.. it'll freeze it. it has a surface temp of at least -109.3 degrees Fahrenheit.
 
the only reason it wouldnt burn your hands it cuz dry ice will often get lots of condensation on it, so itll be covered in a layer of ice, thatll stop you from getting your hands frozen. but it definitely can freeze you if you hold it for more than a few seconds
 
obviously dry ice cant "burn" you seeing as its frozen. ^ a layer of water cant stay around it because the ice is vaporizing to fast its just not quite cold enough to insta freeze your skin liquid nitrogen would do the trick though considering its many times colder. if all u r talking about is dry is and water in a container they cant be too dangerous. the pressure will take a longer time to build up and not create much overpressure. so basically it will be as dangerous as the bottle its in is strong.
 
best thing to do is (in my experience) take a 2 liter bottle because 20oz is weak, filled with little less than 1/3 water, take ~baseball sized piece of dry ice, pound it to a powder (in newspaper or something to keep it all together) then into the bottle it goes. cap it. the wamer it is, the quicker it explodes. pretty chilll
 
Dry Ice Bombs are pretty dangerous. I had one blow up in my hand once. It feels like a firecracker exploding in your hand, except it is much worse. I could not feel my hand for about 10 minutes. It was weird. I thought I broke some fingers, but I did not. Then, this one time, my friend picked one up, but he waited too long, and it blew up in his hand. I think he broke his thumb. We blew up a pumpkin with a dry ice bomb. That was cool. One time we blew up one of those big 32oz. SPRITE plastic bottles, and the plastic blew up and around the bottle. Basicaly the explosion turned the bottle inside out.

Lately my friends and I have been experimenting with a Dry Ice Bomb Cannon. We have been shooting potatoes and tennis balls with it. But we have not found anything strong enough to withstand the explosion of the bottle inside the tube. We used PBC pipe, but the pipe explodes. We literally blew up PBC pipe with the Dry Ice Bomb. We are thinking about trying either metal tubing or wider PBC pipes. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Do not mess around with Dry Ice Bombs, unless you know what you are doing. As always use SAFETY and CAUTION FIRST. BE CAREFUL.

Sure, you could make a dry ice bomb, but a mentos bomb is better if your throwing it in her room, because it will make everything sticky and probobly break something.
 
Try ABS... More expensive, but supposedly stronger than PVC.

As for dry-ice bombs, it's kinda dangerous in plastic bottles. When they explode, they tend to split from top to bottom, and send shards of plastic shooting randomly into the air.
 
being that i am an expreinced dry ice bomb profesional i would say that youre fine doing that to whom ever you want as long as it is a bottle 20 oz or less. the best results i have ever achieved are with a 1 liter aquafina bottle. its stronger plastic so it holds more pressure. the cuncussion was about equal to an m80, possibly a little more.
 
I saw a dry ice bomb blow someones thumb off, one of the sickest things i have ever seen, they are mad dangerous, yet really fun if done safely. I would not suggest throwing one in someones room, I believe if you got caught it would be a felony.

 
WHO THE FUCK TOLD YOU THAT?

Don't listen to this guy it's not a funny joke. Touching dry ice will instantly freeze your fingers. Why do you think they wear such special gloves when dealing with it.

I have heard horror stories of people who have accidentally handled it and lost a finger because of it.

For example:

Two guys who were working at a school and kidding around in an assembly or w/e were showing the fun sides of dry ice. BOTH had gloves on, except for a brief moment when one stepped outside. His buddy, not realizing the other guy had no gloves, tossed a block of the ice up in the air for the other to catch. Instead of having it shatter into pieces when it hit the floor and risk hitting the 5 year olds in the front row, he caught it. Immediately 3 of his finger froze and had to be amputated.

So I am not sure where you heard that from, maybe there are different forms of dry ice, but I would highly recommend against handling it.
 
my friend almost lost his arm to one of those things

but this is the same kid that got arreseted for blowing up a toilet at a rival school while playing against them with a huge firecracker thing

true story it just happend like a month ago too lol
 
wow, yeh must have been something different then. When I was reading the article they referred to whatever it was that froze his fingers as "dry ice" and they said it happened almost instantaneously.

Yeh I would def not throw one of those into someones room.
 
dry ice will definitely burn you

last year i had some in my pocket to see how long i could keep it there, lasted about 5 seconds before i had to take it out

CO2 sublimates at -108?F, -78?C, 195K, or 351R depending on what temperature scale you want to use
