What to do with bunches of used CO2 canisters

We built co2 cars that ran on those down a wire in high school. They fly pretty straight when they burst through an illegally thin car.... I think a cylinder cannon would be tits. Make it from steel tube and fire it of some oxy-acetylene. Makes purty good power...or the dust off of plant rafters come down that hasn't moved in years........

CO2 is CO2, but I think the question is how clean the cylinder is and knowing it's history.

This is the problem.
Not the gas. The container.
 
Shove em up yet butt and go through airport security.

Drill the hole out to full bore. Pour in your favorite toddy, seal the tip with wax or something easy. Save them up and take them to the next Baltimore NBA or NHL game when the teams finally return. [emoji38]

When I was a kid we drilled the hole out bigger on one, filled it with gun powder from some shotgun shells and added a fuse. Blew the crap out of a huge rotten stump.

Don't drop a live one into a fire barrel. I had a buddy cleaning out his truck and tossed one into my fire barrel (un beknownst to anyone) by accident. That thing messed three of us up! It came through the side of the barrel and shrapnaled the shit out of us. Otherwise I have no idea.

We would do the same thing. In middle school one of my friends brought one in and they lit it in the bathroom. Another friend threw it in the toilet to put it out, forgot it had a waterproof wick. Blew the toilet into a million pieces. :lol:

I worked at a famous grocery store 30+ years ago when we unloaded the trucks, a few of the stockers would fight or sneak away whole boxes of redi-whip into the bathroom or the freezer etc. to huff them all before stocking them on the shelves.
 
Oh damn, I used to be a dairy clerk at the grocery store. A few cans or ten may have disappeared once in a while a lot.
And also worked at an ice cream store where we made our own whipped cream...heavy cream, milk, vanilla, in a pressure canister charged with some magic gas. Good times.
