Caustic Soda and Aluminium works much better for producing hydrogen, but you 
have to watch the temperature as the mixture gets mighty hot and tends to 
produce steam too.

In the days of coal gas, I used to inflate balloons using our gas tap under 
the sink. I once let one go with a card attached and I got a reply from over 
100 miles away!

The gas we get now jest aint light enough!
