I was just wondering if anyone could tell me some ratios for mixing oxygen and acetylene gases. My objective is to create noise, I was thinking maybe 70% oxygen and 30%acetylene but I may be wrong. I havent tried it yet. Also say I wanted to fill a baloon or similar could I just guess the ratios by lokking at the baloon? Also what is the minimum safe distance when igniting a garbage bag, at the best ratio for noise, I thought 100m?? Also any plans for loud gas devices using the afore mentioned gases or hydrogen. Thanks.

Acetylene:
LEL= 2.5 UEL= 81
Ive never used acetylene, i've used propane/oxygen before though.
