    I did the penny thing when I was a kid and for some reason thought the penny became radioactive. so I downloaded an app that was a fake Geiger counter and thought it was real. so I opened the app and the numbers on the counter went really high I thought I was going to die so I started panicking. I just threw the pennies off my balcony and washed my hands for an hour.

    I'm not a chemist, but, as a kid, I also did a lot of the stuff that Nigel did. I opened batteries and experimented on them. I burned stuff. I mixed household chemicals. I made my own firecrackers using the head of matches. I'd also open old electonics and attempt to "fix" them or salvage stuff like capacitors and experiment on them. I'd try to collect hydrogen and oxygen gas by electrolysis. I also tried to grow an onion in a glass jar and everyday I would keep increasing the water level until the onion bulb was submerged. I wanted to grow a "water onion" (I don't know where I got the idea). It just ended up rotting.
    I did a lot of random "science" stuff. But, I never thought that they were crazy stuff. I was just really interested and curious about stuff.

      I made a couple firecrackers a few times out of bottle rockets. One of them I used aluminum foil for the body and I put in like eight match heads, you know for zest. And I lit it, tossed it into the yard and it didn't explode, it was just a fountain but you could see the match heads shooting out like sparks.

    When I was a kid (14-15) there were these firecrackers called Thunder King. It was a small tube on a plate that shot a ball up in the air and it explodes and make loud bang. We found a wooden box someone had thrown away that had a big hole on one side (speakerbox?). We threw one in there and it just blew it to bits. The thing that stopped me from playing with them was that I or someone else came up with the idea to put it upside down so tube shoots away and the ball stays on the ground. Worked the first time. The second time it fell over. Here we are, a bunch of kids standing in a wide circle around it. It shot away and didn't hit anyone but went by some kids and exploded a few yards behind them. That's when I had enough.

    "Where do you get zinc metal"
    You know pennies are 98% Zinc metal, at least in the US, right? Like, you can actually just melt a penny and if it doesn't rupture the copper exterior from the pressure and shoot molten zinc in every direction, it you have zinc metal. Actually I'm not sure but I bet you can poke a hole in the penny and melt the Zinc out of it.
    (I am absolutely not responsible if the penny explodes and you get molten zinc on something important).

    "You could do electrolysis on it."
    Ah yes. I have made quite a few janky electrolysis setups with piles of 9V batteries. They do really strange things to Aluminium foil.
    I'm a little concerned to use anything mains-connected though. Also electrolysis doesn't really like, do the same thing if you use AC power.
    Also do not use tap water or you get black goo from the metal ions in the water becoming metal not ions.
