We all know what happens when you mix Coca-Cola and Mentos breath mints together- yes, Coke will bubble and shoot up in the air. Now how about if someone harnessed this chemical reaction between the soda and the candy and used the explosive power to propel a car? Well, it won't solve the energy problem but it sure sounds like fun.
The experiment was performed by the same guys who brought us the sky-scraping Mentos/Coke geysers, Fritz Grobe and Stephen Voltz. Their "innovative" three-wheeled vehicle was attached to a complicated PVC pipe crate holding 108 two-liter Coke Zero bottles and 648 Mentos tablets.
