I made an acetylene explosion in a 25 mL plastic graduated cylinder by dropping calcium carbide pieces into household hydrogen peroxide. This produced acetylene and oxygen at the same time. I did it outside and the wind blew out my burning splint. In the time I took to relight it more oxygen was produced so the explosion blew up the cylinder and permanently damaged the hearing in my right ear. So using a longer splint and hearing protection is definitely advised!
