You're assuming I don't happen to have a bottle of He or H2 at home (or 
at a friend's house), and a pressure pot <grin>. These things are tiny.. 
I could probably electrolyze water to make enough H2 and use a spare air 
cylinder with a weight to pressurize it.

But I like the idea of the field expedient vibe/shock test.
