minus-squaresem@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·5 days agoWe had a community science day when I was little where they did that. Hydrogen is pretty safe to ignite in a birthday balloon.
minus-squareRai@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·5 days agoI loved it, I’ve never felt such an explosion pressure in my chest!
minus-squaresem@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·5 days agoIt’s quite a pop! They exploded some other balloons too, iirc, but I don’t remember too well. I think I was 8.
minus-squareRai@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-25 days agoI 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.
minus-squaresem@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-25 days agoFor 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.
minus-squareRai@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 days agoOh 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
minus-squaresem@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 days agoYou get O2 and twice as much H2 iirc
