I tested something with some chemicals and I stumbled across a way to make hydrogen with two easy to get chemicals. Drano in crystal form, a glass bottle, some aluminum foil, and a little bit of water. Put the aluminum in the bottle, poor the drano ( key ingedrient, Murioutic Acid) into the bottle, ...

Im sorry, its a advanced..... 3 layers should only be around 50 psi. I think it would be able to clear it. Hgdt says there will be 106 psi built in the chamber so im betting there will be atleast 50 being built. And the threads thing, its airtight, I cant blow air past it. and I tried till my face w...
