A group of guys get together for fun times with Roman Candles, Trash Bags, Acetylene, and fire. Video includes slow motion replay! Good times... don't try this at home.
This is the spontaneous combustion of acetylene with chlorine. Note that there is a long time lag between the first combustion and the last explosion. Acetylene is formed from the reaction of calcium carbide and water.

7-4-2008 My brother and I filled a balloon up with oxy-acetylene from my dad's welding torch. We tied a nut to the balloon to weigh it down and placed it on some newspaper. The paper serves as a long fuse. Light the paper and run.

This is our chemistry teacher trying to do an oxygen + acetylene experiment (O2 + C2H2), but I think it was more powerful than he expected.
P.s. I didn't record this.

I put Calcium Carbide in a .5 liter Zephryhills bottle and ignited it. My friend had an infrared thermometer and the hottest temperature measured 5539 degrees Farenheit!!

Making bombs with a cutting torch using the oxygen tank and acetylene tank to make an explosive mixture. Sometimes we had it a little rich, sometimes it was JUST RIGHT :)
Yes, not safe at all, do not try this yourself, you could pretty easily die from an unexpected ignition.

The bottle was filled with a closely stoichiometric ratio of Oxygen and Acetylene. The opposite end of the lamp cord was energized with 15kVAC to initiate the explosion. Extremely dangerous. There are many dangers involved (including static electricity) when performing this experiment; don't try it if you don't know what you're doing.

so we rented a cutting torch set,took it out in the hills figured out the right mix between the two and filled a contractor bag,the echo out in the mountains sounded like thunder it was so tight!
