TUNGSTEN, FUCK YEAH!
Tungsten is HIMEOBS approved orbital bombardment material (not suitable for under 5s. Do not attempt to eat components. May cause dizziness, lack of concentration and death. Buyer assumes all liability).

things I learned from this video: Do not put Cesium in water!
You didn't already know?
We used to drop small lumps of sodium into water at school, until we were told to stop breaking beakers. We dreamed about getting hold of Caesium, though we would have settled for Rubidium.
apparently I was a deprived child! Actually, we couldn't get a hold of those things for me, because I was home schooled, and the paranoids in the Government decided that private citizens shouldn't be allowed to buy small quantities of the stuff for experiments... I swear that we are still on the terrorist watch list.

That sucks. You should see if you can get hold of Lithium, though it would need to be a fairly large amount to do anything except fizz and fly around the surface of the water.
You can get the almost same effect by running wires from a battery into salt water. And by almost I mean you get metal + water => metal hydroxide + hydrogen gas.
protip: don't use wires made out of stainless steel or other unreactive metals unless you're trying to make chlorine gas.
Golfball sized block of Sodium and a beaker of weak acid. 50 times better than sodium and water everytime.
True, but people rarely leave buckets or have ponds of weak acid lying around, sadly.

It makes me miss my old school. They often left the labs unlocked :(
What kind of acid? A lot of acids are cheap and easy to get at the hardware store or chemist.
tomato juice is a weak acid.
Diluted vinegar is a weak acid, and cheap.

Lithium Ion Batteries.
Haven't tried it, but charge one of those up, crack the fucker open, toss in water and run, from what my organic chemistry teacher told us in class one day (not quite in those words of course :D).
