For this 'experiment', you MUST wear goggles or big glasses that cover your whole eye. When the lighter explodes pieces fly everywhere. Don't take the risk - you may be surprised to hear me say this but it's not actually worth going blind for.
Equipment:
- Goggles, glasses, or even a snorkeling mask
- More than one Bic Lighter (you'll want to do it over and over!). The lighter must have a striker, not the ones with a button. Of course, you don't have to use a Bic lighter; any small, plastic strike lighter will do.
Preparation:
All you need to do is pry off the metal flame guard on the top of the lighter. You can do this easily enough with your fingers.
With that done, lets go blow something up!

The sparker will unhitch shortly after you hear crackling noises. Just an easy way to know when to get ready to put it down.
After 30 or so seconds of burning DO NOT TOUCH THE SPARKER. Even though it has not yet unhitched IT WILL STILL BE EXTREMELY HOT. I am writing this with a burnt thumb >.<.
