I don't know why they don't do jam jars in chemisty demonstrations that often. You see barking tubes, hydrogen balloons, etc, but hardly any bother
with "jam jars". They are simple yet entertaining.

Wow! I do not know this reaction. I find it quite spectacular, no idea why it isn't as well-known as elephant toothpaste and barking tubes... What is
it exactly, what and how does it react?

It is an incredibly easy device to make, all it is a mason jar with a diffuser suspended in the middle, right under the nozzle which is only hole cut
into the lid. You can use methanol as the fuel, just vaporize a little bit to get it going.
Here is a good tutorial on how to build a simple one, I have followed this procedure before so I know it works: Jam Jar Jet Tutorial
