For this we need the following ingredients:
-calcium gluconate
-dry flammable

calcium gluconate dry flammable


There is no need to run to a chemical store, since everything can be obtained in ordinary household stores - calcium gluconate (in a pharmacy), and dry fuel (in tourist or fishing and hunting stores).
First of all, on the prepared surface (which can be an ordinary tin can), we put a tablet of dry fuel, and on top we place several tablets of calcium gluconate, now we set fire to the dry fuel and observe an interesting effect.

we're healing


The reaction produces almost no smoke or foreign odor, but it is still better to conduct the experiment in a ventilated area. The reaction continues for quite a long time, depending on the number of calcium gluconate tablets.

    You can also make a good cannon from an ampoule of calcium chloride. When heated, it explodes and the sharp tip of the ampoule flies along its axis up to 5-7 meters. We even hung targets at a distance of 3 m from the ampoule. ATTENTION! SAFETY GOGGLES MUST BE USED! And you should not come closer than 2 meters from the side or behind the ampoule during heating.
