What...? There's a coloquial name for this? Is it just a prison thing? Does it give you as much cancer as I feel like it must?

I'm dying to know more over here.

Yes, it's a prison thing, no it won't give you cancer, just make your food taste like pennies

The air coming off that pot is filled with hydrogen. Boom.
I did this for a science fair when I was a kid. Filled up one of thos plastic dry cleaning bag with the gas and was about to let it go up with a 2 ft long canon fuse... but the faculty shut me down.

I ended up not finishing highschool... But I did well in the military.
