This Halloween video involves me creating acetylene gas inside a pumpkin and igniting it with a piezoelectric sparking device. (The reaction taking place inside the pumpkin is due to calcium carbide reacting with water to make acetylene and calcium hydroxide.) Thanks to my nieces and nephews (Violet, Max, Abby and Josh) for making it so fun!
With the fire extinguisher at the end there... Nice trick!
