@wonderofscience That poor, innocent test tube...

️: DoktorKlawonn | CC BY 3.0@wonderofscience I'm thinking.. gummy bear fueled rockets.
-
@wonderofscience Bonus fact: this is the exact principle of a rocket engine.
I wonder what the thrust here would be. Probably not much but also probably measurable?
@renardboy @wonderofscience depends on the pressure build up you allow.

Former chem lab check out person here.
That's nothing a little time in the base bath won't take care of.As long as the test tube wasn't destroyed, that is
