What the hell did he fill that whoopie cushion with?

[–]eandi 8 points9 points ago

Hydrogen Air-oxygen-hydrogen is a popular science demo to younger kids. Air goes pop, oxygen goes bang, and hydrogen goes BOOM when you pop balloons with a flame on a stick. This guy might have missed the stick part...

[–]Zanoushe 3 points4 points ago

Dammit, where was this when I was in elementary school? That's awesome!

[–]my-little-pwny 0 points1 point ago

I know that feel. I think most schools have taken away most fun science experiments because they think we will all get hurt.

[–]skittl 2 points3 points ago

If your chemistry teacher was cool, he/she would add a fourth balloon of stoichemetric oxygen + hydrogen (1 part O2 for every 2 parts H2) and light that off.

If your chemistry teacher was a dick, he/she would light that off from a fuse, running out from the room without telling anyone sitting ~4 feet away from the balloon what was about to happen.

[–]willscy 0 points1 point ago

we did it in coke bottles (glass ones), had a nice poof sound to it like a cannon.

[–]skorps 0 points1 point ago

My teacher did that but he warned us what was about to happen. Also he filled soap bubbles with hydrogen and oxygen and slowly let each bubble get closer and closer to the right ratio so they would get louder and louder. it was entertaining.

[–]dinkleberg92 2 points3 points ago

If that was hydrogen he would have been a lot worse off!

[–]iamthejed 0 points1 point ago

It's a balloon. And I'm wondering the same thing

[–]Zanoushe 0 points1 point ago

A second look confirms that it is indeed a balloon. That explains why it exploded.

You should also note that the submission 2 months ago with the most karma was by the same guy.

Well, well, well...wot 'ave we got 'ere? A bonafide Sherlock 'olmes!

[–]Fonzie8819 2 points3 points ago

Holy fucking shit, shut the fuck up. This is the first time I've seen this gif, and for you to have enough time to dig through his history and pull this up and POST it to prove a point is pretty pathetic.

This is why this site is becoming what it is, because people ACTUALLY give a shit about repost for numbers that don't even matter.

Guess what, your life is a repost.

[–]EchoSolo[S] -1 points0 points ago

Yeah...we all are.

[–]legitimategrapes 3 points4 points ago

Did anyone else ever do the "soak a handkerchief in rubbing alcohol and burn the alcohol off" thing? We did it when I was in boy scouts and basic chemistry. And then, my friend and I tried to replicate it on my arm. So I can relate to this guy.

[–]JankBoy 0 points1 point ago

My friend tried to replicate it on my balls...

[–]yyx9 1 point2 points ago

I don't know how to explain the device in my story, basically it's a coffee can sized piece of plastic that has an elastic bag in the bottom with an elastic cable you pull. You pull the cable taught and let go and it shoots a gust of air about 12 feet away, impressive I know. 2 friends and myself held the elastic cord back and aimed it up. We emptied 3 cans of Axe into the chamber. I was the lighter. I looked at both my friends face as we lit it, indoors and crowded together. I see this orange hue fill the walls and the compression made me go deaf for a few hours. We laughed so hard.
