Acetylene/Oxygen balloon

Filled a plain balloon with 30% acetylene and 70% pure oxygen from a cutting torch. Set it off with newspaper, this is one of our first experiments on this idea.

I used to work in a machine shop, and we held our holiday parties in the shop itself. After a few beers (yeah not smart), we would make balloon bombs and set them off all day. So much fun. Thanks for posting this video, and well done!

Just take safety precautions next time, OK? I mean, I like fire and all, but not when its all up in one's face burnin' yer stuff.
