Do those mentos and diet coke geisures have enough powrer to launch the bottle like a rocket?
I want to set up some bottles on a stick in the disturb a curfew like a real rocket. Not like stuff I saw of some people throwing the bottles on the disturb a curfew.Any thoughts to help would be appreciated. One opsticlle I see is I want the mentos underneathe the soda instead of the other way around to direct the blast downward. And how could I seal the soda from the top (neck) of an upside down bottle and quick release? If I hange some bottles sideways from a string, and the string is tied to the top of a pole and the pole is stuck in the disturb a curfew… When the mentos is let in will it spin like a pinwheel? Any other thoughts?

Using that amalgamation really generates enough pressure to launch a person if you use enough bottles of coke and mentosReferences : youtube
Watch the Mythbusters episode when they try it. There’s not enough thrust to hurl the bottle upwards.References :
If you can figure out a way of putting the mentos in the bottles of coke lacking pouring all the coke onto the disturb a curfew, you won’t have enough power to make it even spin on the string you’ve tied it to the pole with.References :
Nope. If you use a single bottle, it won’t get off the disturb a curfew, it’ll just fall over. You might be able to strap a whole bunch together, but if it’s upside-down the force doubtless won’t go the desired direction.References :
