@infobeautiful I feel so bad for that pot.
@bmac @infobeautiful A lot of POTential energy under there. Huehuehuehue
@infobeautiful This guy is incredible at multitasking. Filming the whole time while he lights a firecracker, throws a pot on it, and runs? Incredible. I would have hurt myself in so many ways
@maxmm77 @infobeautiful Those who aren't ADHD have no idea how good they have it! 🤣🤣🤣
@maxmm77 @infobeautiful He is one of those who survived and therefore was able to post a video.

@infobeautiful That's more fun than I'm having today!

Something similar with a cannonball was used to measure the strength of black powder.

@infobeautiful best ad for a pot I’ve ever seen

It's not well known, but this technique was used to film all the spaceship shots for the 1967 TV series, The Invaders.

This is how you start to think about having a lil space program.

@infobeautiful and they say there’s no way to bring down a drone.
@infobeautiful Hello sir why is there pornography in my feed thank you very much.

@infobeautiful

Strikethrough fireworks and call it explosives…

@infobeautiful Fantastic!

For the last charge, the time of flight was 7.48". Assuming no (or negligible) drag, the time to apogee was 3.79". With gravity at 9.80665ms^-2, this gives the initial velocity as 37.17ms-1. For the height of the apogee: h = v0.t - (9.80665 x 3.79 x 3.79)/2 = 70.43m.

Thanks for sharing!
