@dray8165 "Ruin your day" -- I like how you say it :D

[JD8853]

if you want it to work continually, the take away the oxygen you can do this with a glass jar and a candle. it may take a few trys but like jasonjk1 said the battery may  explode so if you have the know how the make a driver for it.

@dray8165 H2SO4? I thought it was HCl!

Cool. I didn't know that!

I just carry a flashlight.

Road flares should also work and is a good idea when fixing a flat on the side of the road.
