Make mushroom clouds with wax

Make mushroom clouds with wax

This tutorial video will show you how to make huge, Hollywood-style, mushroom clouds of fire. These are huge explosions with wax, water, and a fire pit for this incredible paraffin wax bomb! Making a cool fireball is easier than you would think. Just watch this video to see how to make your own. This explosion of flames could scare your neighbors though, so don't do it right next to their house, or your house for that matter. Watch this how-to video and create a nuclear explosion you will probably live through.

Wasn't nearly as loud as I would've expected... Still, pretty damn cool. Just gotta make sure you're not anywhere near any trees or dry grass...

For the record, several friends and I tried this.

It was every bit as awesome as this video suggests.

Yeah. We did this about 40 years ago.
We used wax and gasoline.
Shook the power lines above.
We panicked. Couldn't figure out how to put it out.
Threw a bunch of gravel in it.

We tried this, and the flame was 6 times bigger. It was easily bigger than our house and nearly set fire to our neighbours garden and house (oops). We used two large homebase candles (homebase is from the UK) and surgical spirits to make the fire hotter. If you use more than one candle make sure no one sees you. it is such a #$%@ing huge explosion!!
