    I can teach you how to build one (in a smaller scale of course). Not suitable for indoors though.

    Fill a balloon with hydrogen gas, ignite it.

    I wonder if I have any broken pingpong balls around.
  6. How did you prepare stearin/aceton?

    I didn't prepare it. We have plenty of these at uni (in fact, this photo is from my university):

  8. Did you just pour aceton on the candle right before?
  9. Nope. I just soaked the polyestyrene with acetone and then ignited the sticky mixture.
  10. Ok. That's what i asked to know. Thanks.

    Chemistry is a lot of fun. Just like physics.
  11. Chemistry is the coolest of all the science It owes all to Physics though


    I just realized that I have to try to ignite a pingpong ball covered with acetone-soaked polystyrene hahahaha
  12. lol There's a pyromaniac inside everyone.
