The hydraulic transmission of a sharp shock does seem to satisfy in the face of the impressive pattern of the shattered bottom of the beaker, and from what I recall a stoichiometric mix of H & O2 has a pretty sharp brisance when ignited. A cherry bomb won't harm a toilet at all unless it's dee

Hi Jones, Granted that an autocatalytic reaction is possible, several more facts have to be considered. 1. First of all, a destructive explosion occurs as a shock wave that is suddenly formed by release of energy and gas. A slow release of energy that does not produce a shock wave will dissipat
