How To Make Homemade Acid

you will put your eye out, if not both. battery acid is composed of sulfuric acid which is an organic acid. i can't see any logical
sense as to why you would want to construct such a chemical
by your question. one would need a reason to provide you with the information.

You can't, you would need the stuff battery factories need to make battery acid. And anyway, you wouldn't want to make it in your house in case it goes on your hands or house, and bye bye hand and house. It will burn a hole through something if you are not careful. Are you can experiment with soda, they won't kill you right away. See what happens if you leave some meat in a soda tank for three days. Have fun.

Why do you want to do this? Battery acid and acids of similar strength are very, very dangerous. You could burn yourself, poison yourself, or even cause an explosion if they come into contact with the wrong substances. Please do not continue this line of investigation.
If you want to try a safer experiment using acids, put a dirty coin in Coke or Pepsi, or in vinegar. Coke and Pepsi contain phosphoric acid, vinegar is acetic acid. You could also investigate what happens to aluminium foil or a rusty piece of metal.
Oh, and make sure you throw the Coke/Pepsi/vinegar away once you've tried the experiment - don't use them as food :-)

Pick up an organic chemistry textbook and learn it. I have had sucess manufacturing my own skin creams which would normally be extremely expensive to buy, or unavailable. However, as a trained chemist, I am experienced in doing these things safel
Only someone with the presence of mind to learn organic chemistry should posess this knowledge. If you just want to burn holes in things you are doing yourself a grave disservice.
If you do not understand organic chemistry, then you have no business playing with chemicals. You could hurt yourself and others very easily if you do not understand what is happening in a reaction mixture.
If you really want to learn some chemistry, I suggest that you download "The Golden Book of Chemistry" off bittorrent. It contains some safe experiments that you can do.
Due to the litigous nature of our current society, a book like this would never get published today. Lucky for us, these concerns were not so strong in the 1950's.

well if you really want to make sulfuric acid... you can find a big chunk of sulfur, burn it, collect the fumes somehow, and then find a way to mix these fumes with the correct amount of water (which would need to be determined based on the weight of the sulfate (the fumes) that you started with)... but i wouldnt recommend trying this kuz u could really mess yourself up.. or others

you could make some thermite, that stuff burns through metal!
