    We had a community science day when I was little where they did that. Hydrogen is pretty safe to ignite in a birthday balloon.

        It’s quite a pop!

        They exploded some other balloons too, iirc, but I don’t remember too well. I think I was 8.

          I wanna get some hydrogen…

          My partner would have a heart attack. They can’t even be around a gun shooting or firecrackers, much less that kinda boom! I wouldn’t do that to them.

            For me it was less intense than a gun or firework, maybe your balloon was bigger lol.

            You can get hydrogen by running electricity through water but I forget how it works.
