We had a community science day when I was little where they did that. Hydrogen is pretty safe to ignite in a birthday balloon.
I loved it, I’ve never felt such an explosion pressure in my chest!
It's quite a pop!
They exploded some other balloons too, iirc, but I don't remember too well. I think I was 8.
I wanna get some hydrogen…
My partner would have a heart attack. They can’t even be around a gun shooting or firecrackers, much less that kinda boom! I wouldn’t do that to them.
For me it was less intense than a gun or firework, maybe your balloon was bigger lol.
You can get hydrogen by running electricity through water but I forget how it works.
Oh yeah his balloon was like a nitrous mafia-sized whip it balloon. It was huuuuge!
Also that’s fun! Take out the o… and a H
You get O2 and twice as much H2 iirc
