I wonder what the thrust here would be. Probably not much but also probably measurable?

@golemwire @wonderofscience and do interesting stuff with scraping off match heads?

@starraven @wonderofscience chemistry teacher here. I love this one and do it several times per year. The test tube ist normally busted afterwards because of the temperatures. I personally try to use ones that are quite beat up anyways.

Okay, you could have just told me you don't like gummy bears. -

️: DoktorKlawonn | CC BY 3.0About a month back I was searching for a visual image to compliment my description of what would happen if you fell into a phosphoric acid reactor/dehydrator. The sort you'd see at a phosphorous mine.
My search has ended.
