DO NOT put freezing cold water like these people have done, This makes the reaction take about 5-10 hours. Without the cold water, the bottle will get hot, but it won't even get cloose to melting (I've done this myself). Just put regular temperature water
You are suppossed to do this at night. Use a huge balloon and a long thread of sheet. Put gasoline or something all along the sheet with someone holding onto the balloon. when you light the sheet, tell the person to let go of the balloon. The balloon will start to rise and the sheet will be like a fuse. Once it gets up to the balloon it will be like the sun. A ball of fire[: Have fun!
This is REALLY DANGEROUS to do. What they don't know / tell you is the reaction can run away and get so hot so fast the high pressure *steam* produced can rupture even steel cans (seen the result), shatter glass bottles (seen it real time) and when it blows, the hot lye (NaOH) will eat eyes, lips and other mucous membranes so fast you won't have time to wash it off before there is serious, permament damage. It sent some friends to the ER.
@petoknm Well natrium hydroxide is kind of the danish word for it, so I assumed it would be the same in english. :) No, it isn't acid, but it's still highly corrosive.
the "liquid" is not acid :| is base and is corosive .... is NaOH or sodium hidroxid

it would be a much nicer explosion if you blew a little bit of air into the balloon first.

You have to tape the fuse to the side of the balloon. You also need to use a good quality fuse to make sure it melts the balloon wall.

so mistakes like sodium hydroxide no natrium and liquid isnt acid it is alkali which is completly different
