Video clips depicting a spontaneous combustion/explosion of silanes gases with air, plus a slow motion movie of the main explosions. The silanes were generated by a rather slow reaction of calcium silicide and hydrochloric acid (the gas evolution is acconpanied by frothing). Sorry for the picture quality.
the same reaction can be done with magnesium silicide. It's pretty fast IMO. Magnesium silicide can be made by heating a mixture silica sand and magnesium powder with excess magnesium. Best with anaerobic conditions.
