Turning a penny into a light bulb

From NileRed Shorts.

For this one, I’m going to be turning a copper penny, into a light bulb. The magic happens when a red hot penny, is lowered into a beaker, over some acetone.

NOTE: It’s important that the penny is pure copper. If it’s made with zinc, it’ll melt.
