The Reactive Acetylene

Selected footage from a video of ours that won the 1st place in a National competition for Science Videos (with some important additions)
In this part we demonstrate production and main properties of acetylene.
Experiments took place in the Sciences Lab of N. Alikarnassos Senior High School.
All experiments were performed by trained and supervised students except for the last explosion that was set off by me.
