Calcium Carbide + water = acetylene gas. (think old miner's lamps, which used carbide in a can with water dripped in to produce acetylene to burn to make light).
Don't know if hydrogen peroxide would make enough more oxygen to improve the "bang" or not... acetylene makes a pretty good "bang" on it's own due to its chemical structure... H-C---C-H
Anyway, best of luck! OL J R
