Some college kids spent hours cutting the tops off 30,000 matchsticks and then ignited them all at the same time. Obviously, not quite a nuclear bomb but the explosion did create a mushroom cloud a lot bigger than I expected.

It’s been a while since I studied science, but I’m fairly certain that using a bucket probably wasn’t the best way to generate the maximum explosive force, and also mixing and matching different types of matchsticks probably didn’t help either. I reckon they should done a few smaller runs to see which matchsticks released the most energy and to also see which combinations worked best!
