Many years ago...I was charging a 6 volt motorbike battery for a friend on Dad's charger.
I was also in posesion of that most dangerous of things; a little bit of knowledge.
While a battery is charging, electrolysis takes place and gives off Hydrogen and Oxygen.
"Aha", I thought, "Hydrogen, Oxygen. H2O!!"
"If I set light to these gaseous emissions, they will re-combine to make water"
I was right, of course. But I failed to take into account the speed of the reaction, which is technically defined as Very Fucking Fast.
Cue big bang, room full of speeding droplets of sulphuric acid and sharp plastic shards.
And one miraculously unharmed boy.
