Huge Hydrogen & Oxygen Balloon Explosion

@gabesprofile They are students demonstrating the recombination of hydrogen and oxygen to give water - a basic chemical reaction - not designing weapons of war.

The next time that you drink a glass of water consider the fact that this explosion is of the elements that make up water. You split the molecule apart and you get the tremendous potential of this (H2O) and the fact that oxygen is present with hydrogen gas increase the explosion rate.

did it make water

Hey, check out what I've been doing with hho. The HydroGun is a real spitfire.

555 birds DIES

7 Peoples windows were busted when this went off.

why do I have a feeling the science teacher got in trouble....

ringing ears...damaged hearing ......for the rest of your life

:33 WOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH

BOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!

yup one of my chem professors acutally did this 3 times in a row inside the classroom! it was awesome :) After the blasts, my desk was covered in ceiling dust lol

@fett0001 its oxygen wtf its all around u capture in a jar

This is way to damage your ears.

18 by 7 foot? that's a lot of hydrogen.

Ahaha, where's the water at? J/k H2+O= Water

That made a pop! I love things that go BOOM!!!

@chikingames no u. Seriously, Air =/= Oxygen.

@TheSimpsons1488 Even if you make H2, with HCl + Al, you need to have an oxygen source as well, or it won't explode, just burn.

That was a fucking bom!!..

Department of Homeland Security just decreed that they are going to petition the government to schedule hydrogen and oxygen. This will make it punishable to have hydrogen and/or oxygen in your home or business without proper licensing.

You want H, well listen in class. That's what happens :)

I have a feeling the stoichiometry was off, too much hydrogen. hho has about half the lifting power of helium.

Imagine someone using that as a pillow. "How comfy." BOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!!!

WARNING! This reaction produces DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE!

that went BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM because STEPHEN SAID SO

Wow

this is my senior prank for sure...

bet it took ages to clean that up.

@Forresttree16 You can shove your old geezer jokes up your ass!

i just doodoo'd my pants

Nothing like a little hearing damage. I suppose it will protect them from the horrors of modern pop music. :)

you guys could seriously damage your ears. i did it with a few bubbles of hho and my ears hurt for several minutes afterward. something that big... if you aren't deaf now your very lucky

@Adrianlunnon hearing goggles? lolol

That was the Shit

The best part of waking up is *BOOM* OOH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!?!?!?!

I wonder how explosive a grenade created with liquid hydrogen + oxygen would be like...

Would this work if you put liquid hydrogen and oxygen into a container? Though it would be several dozen times stronger if it did work, of course. :)

omg not funny at all thats how that poor ballon boy died

Chuck norris' pillow.

@DjLightWulf 0.2 seconds of bang? :D

@ihos501 lol your awsome

I hope nobody went deaf from that. I've done it before with a small rubber balloon and it was MUCH louder than a shotgun, and created a minor shockwave which I felt from 15 feet away.

Kay kids, a little closer.... liiittle closer, okay, right there >: )

:20 chewy is that you ?

@nafaidni: actually, its not even close stuff like c4

@nafaidni Wouldn't hold for very long as the liquids would boil off too quickly.

@Forresttree16 Flinch? Chuck Norris would be inside the balloon with a lighter!

woahh fucking niceee

fucking awesome

In all seriousness, it looks a like a Hindenburg experiment or something of the like.
