Gilded Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otm7x3rpToQ Contains: -Boric acid + ethanol antifreeze burned, a fairly nice green flame but I've seen it done better on some videos. Any suggestions? -An awesome line by the demoman class from Team Fortress 2. -Lots of commercial fireworks (that really suck in Finland btw) dumped in an old milk container thing. Not very scientific but quite awesome. -Varying amounts of flash powder in various containers. -A 3kg Fe2O3/Al thermite in a zinc bucket that I couldn't capture in it's entirety since it ignited when the camera was off. -MacGyver.

Gilded Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 I was supposed to try boric acid + methanol but then realized I don't have any methanol, it's actually pretty hard to come by these days. Even denaturing is done mainly with methyl ethyl ketone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
