Bang out of Breath Spray, No Explosion

Post by deleted-427696 »

We have the apparatus built and tested. There is a good spark and the pressure gauge picks up readings when tested with a bike pump. However, we cannot get an explosion to occur. We have tried Binaca and we have tried Axe body spray. Both fuels have been attempted with 1 to 10 short bursts into the film canister. We see the spark but there is no ignition. What is the trick to loading the canister to get the air/fuel mixture correct?

I watched the youtube video and they loaded fuel with something that looked like a dropper and not an aerosol can.

After reading posts from others on this subject, it seems that everyone questions the presence of a spark. I want to reiterate that we have a good spark. It is visible through the canister.
