I tried to make a hydrogen powered bunsen burner and caused a modest hydrogen explosion in my parents' basement..... The hydrogen generation part was easy (vinegar and metallic magnesium). That and chlorine gas, and hydrogen sulfide experiments, and other sorts of stuff that would scare the living daylights out of most parents today.

You can generate hydrogen with tap water and electricty. You can generate chlorine gas by trying to use bleach to clean up urine.

  Generating small amounts of hydrogen is easy. Generating it fast enough to support a flame is a bit harder. Hence acid and magnesium.
