  • ive used isylpropyl alcohol, and it worked for like 5 seconds.. any pointers?

  • You might need to experiment with the size of hole?

  • and incidentally i heard you coughing did it give off an unexpected gas?

  • The coughing on the vid was from my 'assistant' Mike - who did report getting a lung-full of unburnt highly toxic methanol fumes - all in the interest of science.

  • Seriously though folks - methanol is poisonous if ingested (i.e. you drink it ) and you should take care to not breath in the fumes (although Mike is still alive after a lung full!). Conduct your experiment outdoors or in a well ventilated shed. Take care with fire and remember broken glass is sharp.

  • do you have a substitute for methanol? or a way i could distill some or obtain?

  • I got the methanol from a local model shop - its sold as fuel for model racing cars - other people have had success with meths.

  • Is this loud?

  • sounds like they are getting high off  of the fumes

  • For R/C folks: Nithromethanol from nitro engines works just fine as well, but burns with an invisible flame

  • @godingcom i made my hole about 1.2cm and it went for like 8 seconds :/

  • I think that shits pretty poisonous
