We had that demo'd a few times in chem, cool stuff, I've seen the directions on how to do it online, and it looks like a cool way to get back at someone.

 

I think the hardest material to find is magnesium ribbon which is used to start the reaction.

 

Isn't the announcer from Top Gear? Richard Hammond?

Yes' date=' I do believe that is Richard Hammond doing the narrating. Very cool video and I love the line, "This car was chosen because it is old, it is white, and especially because it is [i']French."[/i] LMAO!!!

What mario is right.... that stuff is really simple to make, but takes something very hot to get it started. If I am not mistaken, I think a flare will start the reaction...

 

I got the recipe off a bbs back in the '80's before the internet was born :D

 

Got another one for a cheap way to make great smoke bombs too :eek:
