FWS – Trying to Destroy My Wii with Potassium Permanganate & Glycerol
So believe it or not I had another games console break on me. This time it was my Nintendo Wii and, like before, I had to take out my aggression on it using some SCIENCE or, more specifically, potassium permanganate and glycerol. Potassium permanganate is a strong oxidiser and when in contact with glycerol, bursts into flames.
