    What you want is some stainless steal or aluminum foil, a bit of lye some water and make hydrogen. Then once you have the hydrogen set fire to it. and hear it go 'POOF!!' (or you have it in a squeezable plastic container using it as a blowtorch and it goes "BANG!! breaking apart the container", followed by a Mother yelling "What are you kids up to down there!!!")
