Turn water into 4 different deadly weapons, using just pencils and a battery
So in this simple experiment, you can find ways to blow yourself up twice over, dose yourself with poison gas, and bathe yourself with atmospheric acid. It’s no wonder it’s such a classroom tradition.
A simple childhood experiment, involving basic stuff that anyone could find around the house, provides you with a simple means to make both a chemical and physical weapon. Find out how to split ordinary water into two different dangerous gases, and cause two different explosions.
Would you believe they can get a chemical weapon and an explosive with just some household ingredients? And that this has been used as a way to teach kids about electricity and water for generations? To do the miniature version of this experiment, just grab a glass, a nine volt battery and wire, a couple of pencils, a piece of cardboard, and some salt.
