Electricity and water are used to blow up party balloons. But beware, these ones explode!
I’m not suggesting this is something you should try, but if you do it anyway, make sure you use EXTREME caution, and be prepared for the police to show up 🙂

Project Inspired By:
Experiments with one of my previous projects: (http://bit.ly/H2OExplode). I was blown away when I tried filling up a balloon, and it floated up to the ceiling!
WARNING:
This video is only for entertainment purposes. It should probably not be attempted, and if you rely on the information portrayed in this video, you assume the responsibility for the results, including injuries or even death that you may inflict on yourself, or others. HHO gas is very explosive, and can be set off with static electricity, meaning you could set it off just by touching it. Use extreme caution. Have fun, but always think ahead, and remember that every project you try is at YOUR OWN RISK.
Project History & More Info:
About 2 years ago I tried filling up balloons with HHO gas from the water-splitting generator I made in a previous project. I was amazed to confirm that when I tied it off, it floated up to the ceiling just a helium balloon. This sparked an idea, and you know exactly what it was!
I thought it would be fun to tape a fuse to the bottom of the balloon, light it, and run away.
Of course the bigger I filled the balloons, the more energetic the concussion wave, and the louder the sound.
You can tell by the sound of the reports, that these balloons pack a powerful explosion. The noise could be heard reverberating around the neighborhood, and sounded like large cannons going off.
We did this experiment on the 4th of July, because while most of our neighbors are awesome and supportive of these experiments, there is one who always calls the police.
I figured there was no way they could be justified in complaining about explosions on the 4th of July.
Now to emphasize safety here, I can’t suggest this is something you should try, but if you do it anyway, make sure you use EXTREME caution, and be prepared for the police to show up.
I have seen pictures of accidents where balloons filled with oxy-acetylene gas accidentally went off with static electricity and blew a mans truck apart, sending him and his nephew to the hospital. While I haven’t experienced that effect myself, I am encouraged to use as much caution possible, to avoid a trip to the hospital.
