Health warning!!
When operating the tin can/jam jar pulse jets indoors open outside doors and windows to ventilate the room.
Our carbon monoxide alarm has just triggered half an hour after my last burn out. The loud screeching of the alarm frightened the living daylights out of me.
Total burn time this afternoon/evening was less than eight minutes....
Longest single operation sixty six seconds.
Be careful out there!

How else am I going to fill the last week of my six week holiday? I've had a month with my bike in Europe. I need a break from cycling.

It's a crazy stunt but nothing that I haven't done albeit on a smaller scale. When I was a pupil learning science, it was the norm to have a range of reagents and solvents to hand at the lab benches. Pupils were trusted with flammable solvents and toxic reagents. As an indicator of the potential hazards - each lab had a cyanide antidote kit prominently placed on a wall in each lab.....
Hah!
Those of us at the back bench were not to be trusted and we regularly laid solvent trails across our hands and bench tops before igniting them. There was the odd blister but nothing as bad as those on the digits of the hapless pupils who forgot to let their tripods cool down before picking them up to put them away at the end of an experiment.
My only lab mishap was when I dropped a large chunk of sodium down the plughole of my sink and blew the u-bend/trap apart.

A friend [well, I say friend] once crossed the connections on a lab pack - he blew the entire circuitry on the first floor laboratories... took a couple of days to fix.

He had the hots for her but a more chilled approach might have scooped the prize.
