Was just thinking, 'how the devil do you make popping candy?', and found this via the wonders of Google.

Now I'm wondering what safe or mildly dangerous and exciting way I can get carbon dioxide at 600psi into molten hot sugar.

quercus have you got any suitable equipment?

bobbins, food

Yes - quercus would be my first thought too. If you successfully make some, do let me know.

And hello, by the way. I met you briefly at Quercus' mulled wine do, and it was very pleasant.

Beyond me these days, you're into cursingchemist territory. I shall enquire...

I probably have most of the bits, but not a cylinder of CO2. OTOH, they're not hard to find, maybe even affordable short-term hire.

Do it to bacon somehow, and you'll be rolling in Internet Money :)

(or possibly just rolling in exploding bacon)

Ah. I've seen something similar to that... Do you remember the UK guy who was making decent-size rocket motors by spinning a cylinder full of epoxy and bubbling O2 into it?
