Our chemistry teacher shoots rubber stoppers out of test tubes, but that's nothing compared to igniting hydrogen in a classroom.
She had it behind a blast shield thingie. Ms maner was the shit lol. I thank her for the lead weights which after a little modification fit perfectly in my Pneumatic.

Whats wrong with sodium hydroxide and aluminium foil in a test add some water and a balloon on top?works really quickly and makes alotof gas and ALOT of heat but not enough to ignite the hydrogen.
