October 26th, 2004: Exploding Pumpkins!!!

We blew up jack-o-lanterns at this meeting in honor of Halloween! The poor jack-o-lantern was hollowed out and then we placed a tray of calcium carbide along with water into this poor thing and lit it up with a candle on a stick. It made quite a spectacular explosion!

Thank you Maria for your extra photos and videos!
