I wanted to make my own bubble solution to try and get the strongest possible bubble. It's possible you can get the same results using store bought bubble solution.

I used

Dawn Dish Detergent 5 tablespoons
Glycerin (95%) 4 tablespoons
Distilled Water 1 cup

Stir it really good but try not to stir up any bubbles.

I used 100% cotton for the cloth strip.

Dry ice.

Be sure to wear gloves when handling the dry ice.

It was definitely easier to make a bubble across the smaller bowl. If you try to make a bubble across a large bowl, you may have to try many times until you get lots of the bubble solution coating the edges.

In the smaller plastic bowl I used about 2 or 3 pounds of dry ice and filled it with hot water. When you first drop in your dry ice and water, the bubble will form and pop quickly. It also releases the best looking "smoke" After about the 5th bubble, they start taking longer to form but will produce some interesting looking effects.

In the large black tub, I used 10 pounds of dry ice and enough hot water to cover the ice.

Have fun!

can you guys be any more amazing? this was EPIC!

[-BuiNgocNhuY-A]

This is freaking amazing! I did it at my home and my dad was a little bit mad at me but he smiled when he knew that it's smoke, not water.

[NotChicoAndPico]

Haha that trick earned my brother an A+ in his science class, glad it arrived at YouTube

[ZiusPlays]

the last one looks very stunning. Just like I'm viewing from the atmosphere, so cool

[JensengTea]

2:03 the backlight made it look like an eclipse of sorts XD

[julissaraquel.]

This is great for a Halloween party. With some blacklight any different color lights would be awesome. And this method saves you a lot of money hehe

the last part of the video looks like the last sunset you will ever see.

1:19, it was like a nuclear explosion, just happened in your house. So cool. I liked and subscribed. I really enjoyed the video.

[Dorankuu]

1:55 and that is a very good wave! looks like a bomb was dropped and the shockwave was cool!

[fallingfeather]

At the bigger bowl attempt I imagined the bowl a bomb and when it exploded, the crashwaves rolled over the ground around it killing millions of people and destroying a city

sorry

[JoolieJulie_]

idk why i feel calm when i see the bubble explode and the smoke going out

[theofarnum]

Cool experiment, and stellar video! I'm going to do something along these lines for a chemistry class exhibit

[arturcgs]

Is there any word besides epic to describe this video?

[JupiterSeesStars]

The bugs in the house were trying not get blown away from the giant nuclear explosion they all just witnessed.

[ThreeSingleandco]

me: ITS GONNA BLOW!!!

Bubble: SCREW THIS * blows up*

Me: :|

[zleuth]

I just did this with my kids. Used corn starch instead of glycerin, worked fine! Additional materials you should keep on hand include paper towels. Also, if you get soapy water in the bowl, you get a dry ice foam.

[kristjanp.]

Now that's what I call "mindblowing"

[JessterViduya]

I looks like nuclear bomb explosion in a massive clouds. nice :D

[ctrldis]

And kids, this is how you make a nuke. :)
