How to set Water on Fire

Narayanan Hariharan — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 13:29:25 +0000

Do you think it is possible? Yes it is. All you need is a glass of water and 2 to 4 alkaline batteries. Now read the instructions and do try it at home.

Fill a glass or a cup with water.
Take 2 to 4 alkaline batteries and drop them into the water. Ensure that the batteries are fully covered with water.
Let that setup remain for at least 45 minutes. The chemicals from the batteries will slowly flow out into the water. This will allow the water to be set on fire.
This step is very important. Remove the batteries from the water. If you don’t, then the fire will become worse and is not advisable. REMEMBER TO REMOVE THE BATTERIES FROM THE WATER.
Use matches or a lighter and set the water on fire!

Check this video out and you’ll get a better picture.

Do try this at home and be careful when playing with fire!
