I've always wanted to ignite a balloon filled with 2 parts hydrogen gas and 1 part oxygen gas. It just wasn't much of an option in my classroom. The egg is much more practical. Hydrogen gas is produced by reacting zinc metal with hydrochloric acid. The hollowed out egg is filled with the gas and then ignited.
