About The Coke Zero & Mentos Rocket Car
After years of work, the Coke & Mentos guys have harnessed the explosive power of these geysers and achieved human propulsion! 108 bottles of Coke Zero and 648 Mentos mints combine to propel EepyBird into the annals of unusual records.
The music is an original track by BT, written just for this video. Check out http://www.BTMusic.com
How Does This Work?
This is one not to try at home.
The Coke Zero & Mentos Rocket Car uses a piston mechanism: a six-foot long rod sits inside a six-foot long tube attached to each bottle of Coke Zero. When the Mentos drop into the soda, the pressure tries to push the rod out of the tube. With 108 rods all pushing at once, that gives us a lot of power.
All that power is pushing against a wall braced with 3,600 pounds of cement blocks. So all the force is directed into moving the Coke Zero & Mentos Rocket Car forward. We get one big push for six feet, and then it’s all coasting from there.

Don’t Try This at Home!
Seriously, don’t try this at home. There is a huge amount of power involved, and we don’t want you to get hurt.
What you can (and should) try at home is the Coke & Mentos geyser: you can get your own Coke & Mentos Kit at http://www.eepystore.com that includes nozzles just like the ones we use in our geyser videos, or you can click here to learn how you can make Coke & Mentos geysers with stuff from around your house:

Awesome Track by BT
This is the only thing i have to say, BRRRR!!
So that toke about 2 weeks to make and it was gone in about 10 seconds?
That’s funny!
so we need a filling station every 221 feet?
awesome
Very nice !
is it revolution i’m seeing?
Lol
LOL soooooooooo awesome
i want to make one
И чё это такое ?
Wait a minute,Isn’t that building on knight rider?
He launched it too late!!!
i once made a coke geyzer and it shot 16ft in the air no lie. i no cuz me n my fren were tryin to find out how far it wud go so we got an RC helicopter and stuck the tape measure in to the end and so we pulled t down and it wuz like 16ft sumthin inches
Seems legit
Its still not carbon neutral…
i want one
That’s Awesome i need a new job 🙁
hahahaa these guys are awesome xD
You’d get better distance if the mento’s stream was directed against a turbine that drove the wheels instead of just against a wall, if you can produce a constant pressure stream you could get some good distance, use the rocket blast against the wall to get moving, then use the turbine stream to keep the momentum up, just something to think about … 😉
Nice experiment
Hahahaha Awesome
Saving the earth one mentos and coke at a time.
BT did do the soundtrack, will be available on itunes soon
they’re gonna need more than that just because of the weight issue.
You are going to need exactly 5,750,000,000 (5 billion 750 million) mentos and 1,562,782,000 (1 billion 562 million) coke zero bottles to lift a human sized aircraft with the exaust pipe to the first layer of the atmosphere
Song/Music by: BT… song will be available on iTunes soon.. Source: twitter slash bt
song?…I love dubstep : )
hahahaha the moon thing was cute
KIKIRT !!!
not bad
you must have a LOT of free time A LOT
Why not add everything into a huge canister and have it blast out of a single exhaust? Worth a try right.. Nasa doesnt use 500 rockets to get in space either right.
What is the music called? I know it is on iTunes but I can’t seem to find it!
DEAR GOD THE MOON IS GETTING CLOSER!!!!!! APOCALYPSE!!!! AHHHH! CONSPIRACY COCA COLA IS GOING TO THE MOON!!! AHH!!
Wow you can actually do that
Same set as knight rider 2.0.
So awesome
アホすぎるｗ
SONG NAME!?
Too funny. I would like to see about 1million mentos in the right amount of coke.
Go awesomeness and BT music!
What would happen if I drink/eat coke zero and mentos at the same time?
Cool
that was AWESOME
next step are coke+mentos propelled rockets for the coke+mentos rocketlauncher to install on your coke+mentos propelled car?
crazy 🙂
The track’s on Itunes now
