Whoosh bottle

This demonstration from whynotchemeng involves lighting a splint to ignite Propon-2-ol in a 25 litre drinks dispenser bottle. Lighting the vapour makes an impressive whoosh sound and flames shoot out of the bottle.  The bottle could be placed on scales or a force sensor to measure the thrust from the ignition.
