I filled a big balloon once with with strait O and acetylene, tied a string to it and then lit it. After I picked myself back up and could see strait again I had a whole new appreciation for FAE's.

I did something similar once, but mine was a homemade electrolysis cell (maybe I should sue these guys). I collected the H2 and O2 in seperate garbage bags. When the bags were about 1/3 full I mixed them in a third bag, stuck a (long) fuse in the end and let her go.

It went BOOM! The next day there were stories about a mystery explosion the night before. I just wandered along contentedly.
