Last video, I made a mistake. I forgot to set one of these on fire! Well thats kinda my thing, so today I set out to fill a pingpong ball with propane and set it on fire. I used a hose with a 20ga needle on the end to pump propane directly into the ping pong ball. I put a torch on my wooden bench and threw gas filled ping pong balls at it. What could go wrong?

Fun Fact - Ping pong balls are very flammable by themselves. They are around 20% nitrocellulose AKA Guncotton!

Thanks to those who risk their lives helping me film my videos ;)
