one suggestion get some concret blocks or mabey some sand bags and pile them up to hide behind because with the 6 cans theres going to be srapnael flying every were. make sure there r no windows with about 500m radius ,they will brake. and a pair of ear muffs wouldnt hurt eather

k. already planning on earplugs, we're probably gonna have a double thickness of plywood with a plexi window so we can watch closer.

and as for six cans of starter fluid going off, im worried about shrapnel, not the fireball. the 2k feet of cord wasn't for clearance, it was to reach the nearest outlet. we're gonna set it off in a field at a friend's farm. they dont exactly have electrical outlets cropping up.

mdc, already got it planned. gonna have as much extension cord as we can get, run it through a surge protector to the generator. then we get the generator running and just flip the switch on the power strip when we're ready to go.

Unroll about 100 yards of extention cord - turn microwave on. Walk 100 yards away to power source, then PLUG microwave in.

Also, I enjoy making plasma balls with grapes in microwaves.

HOW? I MUST KNOW.

If you wanna do a good science project.... build a tesla coil! Then send it to me, I'll put it to good use.

Use the really old microwaves with a dial turn the dial on then plug in the power on the extension cord that way you are nowhere near these things when they go off!

try a stick of dynomite for kicks
