7:02 - the way amateur chemists lose fingers. Explosion can spread to the syringe. I had an incident with 100mg of stuff, the sausage experiment describes it well. Nevertheless, I'm glad that you demystify this topic.
This,, holding a syringe of the stuff when you "know" it's going to go boom right next to it,,, very very Not recommended. However,, it doesn't seem to be as volatile as the myths suggests, I have a bottle of the stuff in my pocket at all times, for the heart, and it's diluted with ethanol, and that seems to make it safe from going to the moon. So i wonder,, is it only the temperature that makes it go boom? Hitting it with a hammer probably produces a high localized temperature where it's compressed, and what others say about micro bubbles in the comments. so would it be less go-boom'y if it's cold?
@@lordsqueak The medicine contains only a few milligrams of NG, dilution makes it insensitive (no chain reaction, molecules too far apart). mixing with sorbent is a classic way to make dynamite. As far as I understand, sensitivity is determined by the fact that we need to transfer energy to several molecules (heating or mechanically) - sufficient for them to disintegrate, and then a chain reaction occurs (decomposition releases more energy sufficient to maintain the reaction, the speed of the reaction will make up the difference between detonation and deflagmation). In theory, the frozen substance is less sensitive (you need more energy to kick start reaction), but there are more convenient ways to desensitize stuff.
I think you are right, I see a distinct possibility of the syringe contents detonating by sympathy. Given the quantity, I suspect the consequences could be more than lost fingers.
Did anyone else notice theres another clear liquid on the hot plate before he dropped the "nitroglycerin" on? It was already smoking and the fire lights up far away from the sizzling liquid.
*I propose to make a metal-air battery in the next video, the essence of which is to dissolve metal in order to generate electricity. It is necessary to place in an alkali solution (usually sodium, we also call it “mole”), the sheet of aluminium foil up as the first electrode of the battery, and graphite in the second, the latter must be gas-permeable, for this you need to glue activated carbon to a stainless steel mesh with glue. The finished battery provides approximately 0.8-1 volt voltage per cell and a current of up to 25 mA per square centimeter of electrode; the capacity of such batteries can exceed the capacity of lithium-ion samples by 2-3 times. P.S. I hope I win a printer, although I have never won anything in such competitions..* Tomatoes are disgusting!
uhh someone bought likes :D 20+ comments prior to yours have 0 likes and all the ones after you have 0 likes ... and your comment is 50 min old and has 300 likes .. I was actually looking for good ideas and there are a lot ones if you filter for fresh ... your idea has not only been made by almost everyone already but its also worse than other new ideas ... play fair ..well ur russian so you cant
@@nibirdtamuli8429 *I have already conducted experiments in this area, I managed to get up to 30 mA per 1 square centimeter of electrode, but at the same time it was necessary to increase the concentration of the electrolyte, which made the aluminum foil decompose faster*
Video idea "DIY mini rocket launcher from household items". Bonus if it uses nitroglycerin ahahaha. No idea if this is remotely feasible, but well, I'm no rocket scientist, we leave the rockets to you! Keep up the good work Joel :)
detonation kills rockets engines. Rockets use deflagration then convert the energy to supersonic with geometry but does make a good fuel additive in viscous fuels lighter fuels it has a tendency to float on if you get it really pure it'll be waxy and yellow :).
Video idea: "Jet Engine that runs on Nitroglycerin". I'm not sure if this can work but ur next project should definitely use nitroglycerin, its so fun LMAO, I'm not a rocket scientist, you sure seem like you are hahaha. Keep up the fun videos Integza
Hey integza, as a chemist, please dont put explosives in dangerous containers, i would reccomend a plastic syringe next time, or a very weak dropper. Explosives danger increases with their containers strength and fragmentation possibility. As for the video idea, as you are venturing into explosives, maybe you can try to make some interesting solid fuel rocket propellants? With different ratios of additives or primary oxidizers and fuel, maybe even a nitroglycerin rocket, where it is dissolved in a flammable liquid, with a stabiliser and a slower burning oxidiser. Would be dope!
@DrGreerIsRight this is stuff that quickly makes you talked about in the past tense and when you are talking very sensitive energetic materials it gets even wor
@DrGreerIsRight this is stuff that quickly makes you talked about in the past tense and when you are talking very sensitive energetic materials it gets even worse
@@DrGreerIsRightfor once safety people have a point. He didn't say don't do it just how to do it safer. That said for results make sure whatever is in the plastic doesn't react to the plastic. I have sprung a leak one too many times.
I am literally having a brain wave rn, I had no idea nitroglycerin was that simple to make lmao. That is kinda scary, because I have worked with both nitric acid and sulphuric acid in large quantities in the past. Who knew I was a single chemical that exists in all the first aid kits in my house, away from detonating. This is a good TSA not to nitrate glycerol.
Did you ever have any potassium permanganate in your first aid kit next to the glycerine? If you have some spare time make a little pile of KMnO4 crystals on a large fireproof metal or ceramic surface and put a single drop of glycerine on top as fuel. It will spontaneously ignite in about 15 minutes (depending on local conditions). Starting a fire in a first aid kit used to be a popular form of arson because it looked like sloppy storage of the kit, until fire investigators got wise to it.
Its the exact same procedure for gun cotton, and mostly the same for TNT. Nitration reactions are one of the easiest and that's why they are dangerous. When you can do crazy stuff with limited knowledge and easy to access supplies, things can get out of hand really fast, because there's a blunted sense of danger.
@@luismanueldiasrodrigues2824 Well. Somewhat decent beginner 3D printers (like Ender) cost pretty much the same as 1000 likes (around 100 quid). Frankly, he could just straight out buy one and at least be sure he actually gets it. I think Integza has to find another way of evaluating the coments, because likes make it a bit too easy to cheat.
Made some nitroglycerin in my room when I was in high school, and I made the mistake of touching a drop with my bare fingers. What ensued after a few minutes was the worst migraine I have ever experienced. It turns out that nitroglycerin is used in medicin as a vasodilator and a side effect is headaches. A fascinating molecule.
@@aceslater5265EMS, as well as hospitals, gives it in heart attacks because it’s vasodilative effects help to improve blood flow to the coronary arteries, lowered blood pressure is just a side effect of that dilation. However, for congestive heart failure nitroglycerin is administered at higher doses for that antihypertensive effect as well as to reduce the amount of volume coming back into the heart to help the heart pump more efficiently.
There was a leading chemist in the field of explosives. Him having a weak heart was already funny. Him getting it treated with nitroglycerin made it hilarious.
That scene in breaking bad wasn't nitroglycerine, it was mercury fulminate. You can make pretty much any heavy metal into a high explosive it's very fun.
Have you seen Explosions & Fire? He has made most of them (including gold, gotta be one of the most expensive explosives, gram for gram!) And I think Throwdowns or Pop Snappers use silver fulminate ( in microgram amounts).
@@bhekidlamini1199 no, people who actually enjoy chemistry and know that these kinds of video backfire very hard in terms of restrictions and negative publicity for the hobby.
I love how this channel has evolved. It went from small 3d prints that would routinely melt. To building confidence in metalworking, to chemistry. Flawless
Fun fact: nitroglycerin's impact sensitivity is due to very small micro-bubbles in the liquid that collapse and heat up above the detonation temperature when you hit it. That's why mixing nitroglycerin with straw or diatomaceous Earth makes the more stable dynamite, because they eliminate the micro-bubbles!
Oh wow no shit. I knew cavitation collapse was strong but I didn't realize it was that strong. That's fucking cool lol I really had no idea I guess another fun fact is that after this process is done, the nitroglycerin can leak back out and become extremely dangerous
I remember finding the basic procedure for making nitroglycerin in an old Encyclopedia as a kid; which shows how old I am. It was something I always wanted to play with just to see how powerful it really is; you just satisfied a 30 year old curiosity. Pretty sure this is exactly what I would do with it if I had some. I love how it looks like its cleaning the vice by blowing away all the dirt and oxides. For real fun, I recall in chemistry class our teacher once put nitroglycerin on the board, wrote down the decomposition products, said "it started as 1 molecule of liquid, now its 6 molecules of gas, what is the pressure change in a fixed volume? (a lot, the answer is a lot)
The old Jules Verne's "From the Earth to the Moon" has the recipe for "guncotton", which is nearly the same thing. Old books gave the recipe, and trusted kids wouldn't blow themselves to smithereens. Good ol' times.
I found the original process of making nitroglycerin in my high-school's encyclopedia. It also said that that method was dangerous, and that newer, safer methods had been devised, although it didn't explain them any further than that. It did go into very fine detail about the first process, though. It's incredible, the less-than-legal knowledge that you can find in your school library!
@@TruncateBat There is nothing less than legal about knowledge. The very idea of protecting people by hiding information is both factually and morally wrong.
There was a guy who used to do these type of videos. Once he made nitroglycerin and hammered an DROP on an anvil and lost a nail when the hammer fly away. He removed the video lol
Dad use to do stump blasting when was a farmer and as a land developer. Using gelignite his safety procedures leave a lot to be desired. So when cleaning out the shed I found a plastic bag of sweaty gelignite, now that liquid I knew was nitroglycerin so I was worried. Dad said just put in a bucket of water and it brakes down. Next day we berried it. It's true you can get tingling feeling from handling it also from mixing nitropile and diesel. They now coat the nitrate fertiliser so it can't be used in explosives. This was 30 years ago.
Your Nitroglycerin is "wet" you can tell by the cloudy color of the NG. This can be fixed by by using a desiccant to absorb the water from the NG, this will result in more brisance and higher purity.
Nitroglycerin works really well for miniature ball-bearing cannon. I made one when I was 15 and I was able to launch ball-bearings across a football field. It was hugely entertaining to play games experimenting with angles and accuracy. Simple get a narrow metal tube. Cap one end of the tube. Soak a cotton ball in cold nitroglycerin. Gently insert the cotton ball into the open end of the tube pushing the ball-bearing in after the cotton ball. Once they are at the end of the tube snuggly against the capped end of the tube all you have to do is aim it then smack the cap with a hammer. I made an aiming mount and a spring loaded hammer in case anything went wrong. Always wear ear protection and have a blast feeling like a cannon wizard.
Between the various rocket propellants I'm sure they have a nice fat file on him. Especially the Italian branches of Europol based on his hate crimes against Tomato's 🍅🔨😂
@@temhgb They don't have to test it on everything since there aren't many elements less reactive than platinum or gold, which it reacts readily with, (meaning at room temperature,) whereas chlorine by itself would need a certain amount of heat to react with either. Also, I just want to point out that bromine trifluoride is almost just as reactive but has a boiling point higher than that of water, meaning it won't really evaporate in open air under room temperature unlike chlorine trifluoride or pentafluoride.
Video idea: build a solar and water powered rocket engine which splits the water into hydrogen and oxygen using electrolysis using the energy from the solarpanels (but converted to a really high voltage). The H and O is then stored in tanks and after a few hours of the electrolysis you can start the engine and have made a completely "clean" rocket engine!
Video idea: How about a video on the science behind fireworks? Exploring how they’re made, the chemistry for colors, and safety tips. Could be a blast! Maybe mix in a little nitroglycerin now that it’s laying around, or take what you learn and make some colorful throwing popits!!!
A couple of ideas: 1. Nitrating tomato sauce and using it as rocket fuel 2. Mix nitroglycerin (also maybe a little diatomaceous earth for stability as another user said) into 3d printing resin and 3d print rocket stuff.
On ifea number 2: I think that may cause problems, seeing as nitroglycerin is not exactly heat stable and as the filament must be heated to be deposited onto the print.
i wouldn't call it dynamite but i wouldnt be playing with that shit at all. Its is not used anymore for REASONS we can obviously think of. Good luck storing this shit@@Natediggetydog
From years with working with things that make really loud booms, you should double up your hearing protection. Wear both earplugs and earmuffs. And get better earmuffs. Once you damage your hearing, it's not coming back. Awesome video. Should have folded a sheet of paper, added the spicy sauce, then tested it next to the tomato.
You can soak cotton balls in what you have left and essentially create cordite which was an early alternative to conventional black powder making a smokeless alternative to early munitions.
The sulfuric acid is for dehydration. When nitric acid reacts with somthing like glycerine it forms water along with your main product nitroglycerin. The water could slow down the nitration and sulfuric acid deals with that. It also helps to prevent a runaway nitration wich could be dangerous when dealing with explosive material.
We obtain approximately the same reactions with acetone peroxide except for the inflammation which is explosive unlike nitro. On a hot plate the perox detonates or evaporates depending on the temperature.
We made something in high school chemistry that detonated under just the slightest pressure. The teacher splattered little droplets all over the concrete outside the chem lab and we watched students freak out as they walk over it, and it exploded under their feet. Life was different in the 90's
Sorry for ruining your dream but its not posible, for a rocket you need defragration not detonation. You will explode rocket fuel tank before going somewhere.
@@septemberalpha3639 Yes sort of! But lets not forget one crazy scientist once dreamed up a ship to launch into space, with higher payload and crew capacity than anything we can do today, that you just had to detonate a handful of A Bombs under it to get into space. Apparently it was completely feasible to build, would be more fuel efficient then current methods, but the radiation....
To go along with the theme of this video, back in highschool, the first week of school, my chemistry teacher made a substance called ammonium iodide, that he would flick along the steps by his classroom, all the juniors and seniors would line the side of the steps so everyone had to walk so they could enjoy the show. Apparently once it's dry, it's so sensitive that a feather was suppose to be able to set it off, that being said, I've never seen the feather test, only enjoyed the freaked out faces of lower classmen startled by invisible snap and pops that they stepped on. Have fun!
You also get tiny little puffs of purple smoke emitted too - which just makes it even more fun. The only slight "meh" is that until it dries, the smell of the ammonia can be a bit strong. Good on gravel too - as it doesn't all go off at once - and long after you think it has all gone - someone else walks on it and almost craps themselves as it goes bang :)
Not ammonium iodide. Nitrogen Triiodide. Made with ammonia and potassium iodide. I used to play with that stuff a bunch lol. Purple smoke when it pops. VERY unstable dry. Must be handled wet.
Would be interested in seeing a video about nitrating weird things for solid rocket fuel, Charcoal, sawdust, sundried tomato?..... Could you nitrate thermite?
I used to work on a mine that used "anfo" to split rock and ledges to process the limestone. That would be a good follow up to this one, as it's a more controllable substance that's powerful enough to be used for industrial processes.
the problem with anf... is it is ILLEGAL (at least in the US) for him to mix without a license, a permit, and a very VERY specifically built containment system to mix it in. even BUYING the ingredients is HEAVILY regulated. if BATFE sees him making this tiny amount of nitro... they would shake their heads and grumble... maybe send RU-vid a bit of a nastygram email... and him too... if they see him making anf? somebody's calling a judge for a warrant and he's getting raided. Oklahoma City and the first attempt at WTC both used anf and the US Feds are verrrrrry leery of anybody ever trying that kinda stuff ever again.
Anfo is unique in that its explosive force is actually dependent on the strength of the charge used at initiation. Anfo, on its own is incredibly hard (nearly impossible) to set off without an initiating primer. (Hence why it's categorized as non cap sensitive) Also, you could use just straight nitroglycerin in a mine setting, and achieve the same results as Anfo, but Anfo is a fraction of the price, that's why we use it.
Anfo is safe as houses to use, and is especially good for rock as its classed as a "pushing" explosive... longer pressures. My uncle worked on the Victorian Railway in Australia. He lost half his arm walking 3 sticks of sweating gelignite and a few sus dets out to the burner dump. This was in the 60s. The old skool blasters were brave but crazy blokes. And those older than 30 were safe. Those older than 50 were very wise men. Lol
He also worked for a company making sounding rocket engines for Woomera, and ended up there contracting after the bomb tests, burying equipment etc, while driving a radioactive bulldozer, and cooking on a radioactive pot-belly stove that was in a blast test house. There wasn't anything else to use. He described how things went. He died of cancers and with no acknowledgement from the military or their contractors. The clouds from one or 2 bombs went straight over the east coast. Canberra, Sydney.... Governments aren't looking after us sadly.
I remember this from the Jolly Roger Cook Book- if the mixture overheats whilst mixing, you dump the whole lot into the ice bath to prevent it blowing up in your face. Ah, those were the days...
You should make a video covering shaped charges! You cover a number of explosive and detonation related concepts, it would be cool to see some content covering how focusing that energy works.
*Video Idea: How about building a bike that is powered by a jet-driven flywheel with a clutch? Imagine riding a self-stabilizing bike powered by a rotating disc of fire* :D You could build up quite a bit of momentum, depending on the flywheel mass and then just drive off when it has enough energy stored. I don't know if it works the way I'm imagining, but you could also use the flywheel as a kind of gyroscope to stabilize the bike when it's stationary. So basically you can just get on, engage the clutch, ride off, and the bike will never fall over. YES, I know that's highly inefficient, but since when are we efficient? WE JUST WANNA SEE THE TOMATOES BURN MUHAHAHA ... and have fun doing so :D
That sounds so cool like a mechanical capacitor bike. But a massive flywheel mounted inches from my crotch would make me sweat bullets in practise i think
@Deyas786 I mean it is Integza after all ... he's not scared :D ... Nah, but I was thinking of mounting it either next to the front or rear wheel and if both don't work, just put it on the rack... and I never said he had to ride it xD although we all know he will
How about not jet driven? How about rotating detonation engine rocket driven? Cause then you don't need to spin up the flywheel. Once is gearing gearing would be a problem...
In the early 1900's there was a nitroglycerin plant about 10 miles from where I now live. Somehow it exploded. Not sure how many people passed but from how it was explained it was everyone that worked there including all the delivery people and horses on site.
You should keep the sulfuric acid in the ice bath as you add the nitric acid (slowly) to keep the solution cool, as the sulfuric acid gets hot as it dehydrates the water in the nitric acid. Most chemists that make nitration solutions will refrigerate their acids the night before they make their nitration solution so they start with the coolest temps possible.
Video idea "What about a transparent solid rocket engine? I've always wanted to see how that process goes. And I know if there's someone out there who can make it it's the borderline crazy (scientist?) engineer Integza"
The transition from 3d printing rockets to becoming a chemistry channel is definitely understandable, but still surprises me every time you post a new video
Used to carry and load dynamite underground in mines. If you handle it and maybe get your hand close to your face, you are done for. Terrible, terrible headache. Some of the older guys didnt get it anymore, but I remember it. Just out of the world headache.
Integza thank you for giving away a 3d printer every episode for… a while right? At least a year? Amazing. Can you imagine how many creators youve helped inspire? How many you’ve provided the means for them to create? Nice work homie
Sulfuric acid is a dehydrating agent kind of. Sulfuric acid is known for its dehydrating properties. It catalyses the reaction. During the reaction water molecules are split off from the glycerin and replaced by the nitro groups.
brother had a friend that had a dad that had lots of tiny nitroglycerin vials at home, I have no idea what he worked with, but they put the vials in model kits like ships or planes and then shot the vial with an air rifle lol
Future video idea: make a solid fuel filament and extruder rocket. Build a combustion chamber into which you can extrude solid rocket fuel and more for variable engine performance with solid fuels.
Most of the reason for the additional sulfuric acid is the fact that nitrating glycerin is hard. Nitroglycerin, to be more specific; trinitroglycerin needs to have 3 NO3 bonds at the 3 arms of the glycerin. Adding 2 acids together creates a mixed acid. Like how you cannot dissolve gold with any acid at all but a mixture of sulfuric and hydrochloride acid will create a solution of mixed acid that helps each other forming a redox reaction.
My father was a high school science teacher. He got his first job because his predecessor made a beaker of nitroglycerine and then became afraid. His plan was to put the beaker in the lab sink, then use a stick to tip over the beaker and pour it down the drain. The ensuing explosion blew the sink to pieces, blew a hole in the wall, and damaged most of the room. Then there's the thing that most people don't know/mention: many contaminates cause the nitroglycerine to become very sensitive or explode immediately. It's really bad stuff and why Alfred Nobel had the money to set up the Nobel Prize; he turned unstable nitroglycerine into relatively safe dynamite.
1:49 I live in Arizona. In the part where I live, we were hitting 119 Fahrenheit/48 Celsius pretty much every afternoon in July and August last summer. This precaution is more necessary than it initially sounds.
Video Idea: Dyson vacuums as hovercraft engines! How many to glide a person? Can we clean the living room and then zip to work on the same machine? Will it double as a giant air purifier? And, can we use it to play the most epic game of air hockey with ourselves as the puck? So many questions... my brain won't rest until we've sucked up all the answers!
A Nitroglycerine powered, Orion type rocket, which uses a high temperature electric arc to detonate sequential drops of Nitroglycerine beneath a dome-shaped metal plate. This causes a cycle of shaped explosions, propelling the metal plate & its payload in the opposite direction at a great velocity.
I was interested in this and did some math. LOX has around 140MJ/kg while nitro gives me 25kJ/kg tops, not to mention it would be much less efficient so... :(
@@neithanm I didn't want to mention that the original Orion concept called for (vastly more powerful) nuclear explosives - just in case it gave @Integza ideas...
it's actually "precipitate", which means "to fall". As in "precipice" (in Portoguese "precipicio"), a steep or overhanging cliff. Can also mean to put something suddenly in motion, as in precipitating a chain of events.
@@DupontManualAcapella "Nitroglycerine ("soup") is the ultimate fuel. It has the fuel and oxidant built in. So using it, we can make a totally sealed internal combustion engine, one which does not take in air or spew out exhaust. But most of all, constructing and running a few millions of these engines will give us the necessary experience to handle the enormous energy density of helium inside fusion powered cars." - some guy on half bakery in 2002 lol sounds cool
you definitely can make nitromethane with this stuff! its often used in a diluted form for small scale RC car engines, imagine trying to make your own one using all the wild 3d tech you have available, a small scaled rotary engine that works on nitromethane would be incredibly interesting to see, i also hope to see more chemistry related projects on your channel as its very interesting!
I’d love to see a competition between you and plasma channel for the most innovative and creative application of high voltage. Literally anything that’s plasma and or high voltage related. i.e. plasma channel’s recent plasma knife, but more emphasis on the novelty (the new and hasn’t been considered before) angle. As well as skill in engineering, sturdiness, and visual appeal. And the viewers can vote the winner in the comments.
People have done it with nitrocellulose, gun cotton. Nitrated cotton balls essentially. So most likely yes, however it'd need to be a dramatically small quantity to avoid severe over pressure failures. Gun barrels have fairly tight rating, albeit with a fair amount of giggle room as a safety precaution. I belive top recomended pressure for any given round is around 30% of what the chamber is rated for at max before failure. However some plus p and aftermarket hot rounds have been known to create catastrophic failures- look at Kentucky ballistics put a thumb in it situation. One drastically over powered round is enough to take the life of not only the gun but it's user. With something as hard to measure as nitroglycerin it'd be best to avoid it. Just the measurements being so drastically difficult to perfect would lead to catastrophe. Even self reloaders have to follow strict adherence to avoid said situations, going off strict adherence to the formulation of gunpowder then precise measurements of powder load. I like the idea, but the implementation would easily be leagues deadlier that just the making and handling of nitro. Another issue you have is combustion rate, most fuels used in firearms and the like are relatively slow and lead to consistent pressure in the chamber and casing, I could see NitroG having a pipeB like effect as the projectile limits the expansion capacity of the load causing severe isolated overpressure of the chamber, virtually quite literally making an instant stick grenade.
Use Nitroglycerin as fuel in jet engine, or in mortar mixed with different other solid fuels, or maybe in piston cylinder engine or you can make a tomato canon using this stuff because tomatoes are disgusting!
Awesome video, there is nothing illegal with the process as it is only for experimental purposes and there is no Intent to cause harm to people, property or illegal use. It falls under the same principle as Tannerite. As long as it is used for the purpose it was designed for it is not against the law. Thank you for making this enjoyable video with humor and above all Saftey.
Lol, I love your humor and editing. "Actually I don't know what that is for. Of course you don't you idiot." 😂 "Do not do this. I'm an expert. Except I'm not. So by logic, I shouldn't do this. But I really want to." Definitely done quite a few things I wasn't exactly qualified for.
That was awesome! I have heard about nitroglycerin my whole life and how the early minors would use it somehow in Dynamite. I know it was some combination of acids and glycerin but that definitely was very informative
Dynamite is nitroglycerin bounded in diatomaceous earth. Alfred Nobel actually invented this method to reduce the number of accidents related to mining and the transport of nitroglycerin. What he dont forsaw was that people would use his invention for bombs. He even refused treating his heart problems with nitroglycerin. He founded the Nobelprize out of regret for his invention. Talk
this is a terrible idea to propel projectiles you want relatively slow explosives to reduce the shock on the barrel and projectile. Meanwhile, nitroglicerine has a faster detonation velocity than TNT. This is just a recipe for a pipe bomb.
@@unnamed47 do it then, and win this year's darwin award nothing funnier than a piece of shrapnel lacerating your femoral artery right? kids these days holy hell
Fun fact when you soaked the nitro into the papera you actually made it safer. Dynamite, when it was invented, was basically liquid nitroglycerin soaked into a medium that prevented it from spontaneously detonating.
Video Idea: The jet gun is designed to resemble a handgun, with a handle for easy grip and a trigger mechanism. However, instead of bullets, it utilizes compressed air as its propellant. At the core of the jet gun is an air compressor mechanism that draws in and pressurizes air from the environment. This compressed air is then directed through a series of internal chambers and passages towards a specialized nozzle located at the front of the gun. The nozzle is engineered to focus and accelerate the airflow, effectively creating a concentrated jet of high-speed air. By pulling the trigger, the user releases the pressurized air, propelling it out of the gun in a controlled manner. To enhance precision and targeting, the nozzle can be adjusted to vary the width and intensity of the jet. This allows the user to condense the airflow into a small point, akin to a laser-like beam, ideal for pinpoint accuracy when aiming at targets. The jet gun’s compact and portable design makes it easy to handle and maneuver, allowing the user to take aim with precision. And with its powerful airflow, it’s capable of delivering a forceful impact on targets, such as tomatoes, effectively obliterating them upon contact. Edit: Sorry, I did not explain properly that a duel should be injected into the gun to mix and combust.
New video idea!: What about doing something with tripropellant rockets? which use three types of propellants instead of the usual two. This could include a combination of solid, liquid, and/or hybrid propellants. I’d love to see what you’d come up with!
Video idea: Build a tomato sensing homing missile that automatically targets tomatoes. Maybe use some sort of red color detector and rocket thrusters on the sides of it. Love your videos Joel!
It's been a minitue since I've checked in. It's to good to know you are still up to CRAZY dangerous stuff. You Inspire us all. P.S. Dude look back at that last detonation, the downward force jumbed that (steel?) block up a good 2-3cm. *I'm* surprised that the tile didnt't crack! That's a fair ammount of force in my book!!
It would be insanely funny for a future video if you made real combustible lemons from the Cave Johnson Portal 2 rant using nitroglycerin. Maybe exlude the burning houses down part of the rant though lol. My Family and I love watching your videos, keep the cool stuff up!
@@Heroo01 jets are not meant to explode but they do carry explosive payloads and that's what I meant. Although I do think missile would be a better thing to say here. Thanks
I'm pretty glad you didn't nitrate ethylen glycol (turning to Ethylene glycol dinitrate). It's similar to nitroglycerine, only more powerful and far less stable, so if you do a test like you did there, the shockwaves (as you hear as sound) is sufficient to detonate the rest in the pipette or needle…
Well, nitroglycerine isn't very healthful neither. There have been countless accidents with it where people have lost limbs or their lives experimenting with it… @@Heroo01
