I have meant to put up a little piece on this last weekend's experimentation with food on the personal site, but haven't gotten to writing it. I want the writing of it to be clever, but I'm just not getting there. So you'll have to do with some bullet points:
- Dehydrators are cool, now that we've figured out how to work ours. We're still figuring out flavors and assorted starches and celluloses and fibers, but we're turning out neat crackers.
- 60PSI in a soda bottle, with just air, no reaction mass, is enough to make the thing disappear if you don't expect that it'll really go places. If you look far enough "down range", you'll find it.
- If you have something in a soda bottle, especially one pressurized to 100PSI, be damned sure that it's not near the mouth when you open the bottle. Whence the "asparagus cannons" title of this post.
- 100PSI is more than a soda bottle cap is engineered for.
