This "experiment" reminds us of the famous zepplin Hindenburg. The Hindenburg
|
|
was filled with moderatly volatile (and highly expensive) hydrogen, this
|
|
version will use a commonly available (and very volatile!) oxygen-acetelyene
|
|
mixture...
|
|
|
|
1) Obtain the use of an oxygen-acetelyene cutting torch (school metal or
|
|
auto shop, body shop, jeweler, or bike shop should have one handy). Light the
|
|
torch and find the "perfect" mixture - very blue flame. Have someone help if
|
|
needed. REMEMBER THE SOOHE OXY/ACE KNOBS.
|
|
|
|
2) Let the torch cool - cold to the touch...
|
|
|
|
3) Open the valves to the SAME SETTING AS ABOVE.
|
|
|
|
4) Put a nice, thick, big balloon over the nozzle. Don't skimp on your balloon
|
|
selection. Get the biggest and sturdiest, it's only 98 cents.
|
|
|
|
5) Fill and tie the balloon. Shut off the nozzles and find yourself a LONG
|
|
fuse, (string dipped in glue then black powder does nicely) and simply tape
|
|
one end of the fuse to the side of the balloon.
|
|
|
|
6) Put the balloon in the nearest car or trash can. Extend the fuse
|
|
HORIZONTALLY - FAR FROM THE BALLOON: MAKE SURE NO ASHES WILL FALL ON THE
|
|
BALLOON PREMATURLY.

7) The famous last words: light and run like hell... |
