I am so glad that you followed the "don't try this at home" advice everyone seems to provide alongside their informative tutorials, and did the responsible thing and did it in a safe environment (your car)
@@asmya3199 what are you talking about? I meant the RU-vidr never made that joke himself. You okay bud? You need to talk to someone? I'd imagine you're all too happy to be an aggressive little keyboard warrior in general so there may be no catalyst, although... that'd be worse; but you should maybe look into finding the root of where that's coming from. People may still not like you very much, but probably more than now.
@@anphoneron why would I need 2 talk to someone??.?? I’m fine if there was something wrongbweith me I’d seek help wtf??? Also idk what I meant sorry i don’t really know whatsd goinbf on
@@hufuhufu entertainment, same reason people watch home renovation shows. 99.99% of viewers have never, and will never recreate what’s shown. Nigel’s content is certainly more educational than a home renovation show, but it’s still entertainment to most. He doesn’t present the process in straightforward steps with perfect execution, typically quite the opposite showing all his failures and mistakes. I would consider NileRed videos to be more a story about Nigel doing chemistry than a tutorial on how to do chemistry.
@@chaschuky999the failures are the most informative parts. Anyone can read a paper and say "yep that process works" the important part is knowing how and why it might not work, if everything goes great there's not much to learn, when things go wrong there's usually a lesson that helps make the process safer or more efficient for those that need it.
@@diapysik I never claimed his videos aren’t informative, quite the opposite: “Nigel’s content is certainly more educational”. It’s educational entertainment - as are bill nye, mythbusters, and countless youtube channels. Still, they are entertainment first, education second. I would never follow a NileRed video because of that, there are parts excluded because they don’t provide entertainment value. In a scientific paper, ideally, no detail is spared to give the best chance at replication.
i work in pyrotechnics, not chemistry, but seeing you do this is giving me heart palpitations. you knocked over a blowtorch in an enclosed space where bromide fumes and potentially chlorine gas couldve been leaking all over, hell just using one at all without a fume hood…i applaud your plot armor. your purpose on this earth is strong
Bromine is a fire retardant so I wouldn't worry too much about the torch, and while hood extraction is better, he's also not trapped in an enclosed space as you say he was. He's in the back cargo bay of a car with all the windows open as well as the back hatch. He's likely better ventilated than most lab setups.
Nobody is gonna talk about the fact that this dude just shattered the glass and remelted it back together that many times, just again and again, the dedication to the content
Chemists back in the Victorian ages would applaud this man for using so much safety precautions in his videos, any more and they might've judged it "unnecessary"
These last few videos have been sick, but don't get trapped feeling like you need to escalate the danger in every video you do. That's a 100% certified way to eventually get really badly hurt. Keep making cool stuff like this, but don't let yourself feel like you have to always 1-up the last video. These have all been awesome!
It's not as bad as people think. I've spilled a few drops on my finger, and it turned white after I washed it off. Peeled off after a couple days and I'm very much still fine after a month.
I am not in danger I am the danger someone knocks at my door and shoots you think that of me no Skyler I am the one who knocks That’s just off of memory I may have gotten some of it wrong how did I do 😅
except with styro is more of a "haha hope you survive until your next upload" whereas with this guy I fully expect to one day notice he's not uploading and then finding an article about some youtuber dying in a chemical explosion.
@@z-beeblebrox styro i can trust he will be fine for a lot of dangerous stuff until he starts playing with insane levels of High Voltage like a toy then i start to worry if he will post another video
Drake (styro) has an actual degree in chemistry and has worked in a lab before. He does crazy stuff but he is always in full control and knows what he's doing. I think mrgreen is in school right now for chemistry. He knows more than the average person but I don't feel as confident about his safety as I do with Drake or Nigel.
THIS MAN IS HANDLING CHLORINE TABLETS WITHOUT A RESPIRATOR. last time I did that i was coughing out blood (just abit) nontop for 3 weeks and it took 2 months for my respiratory track to fully heal up
This reminds me of a friend of mine that sometimes falls asleep on the mortuary table at the back of the lab, fortunately we are still handling only bones, but sometimes people put organs on the table and may forget to clean it, even the teacher already warned us, but his sleepiness is still too strong. Fortunately he is not showing any signs of infection yet, which is good, but probably a matter of time up to this point.
@@notchpoodles5864 Good manufacturing practices. Its a pseudo-legal requirement in a lot of lab-based jobs. The term covers a lot of things from how the lab is laid-out, to very strict documentation requirements. Basically about as far away from this as you can get lol.
@@MissionSilo An lab assistant but you can't touch chemicals only tools they can give you special permission on some but I'm pretty sure you can't touch some of the chemicals
I love how when he got the bromine on his finger he just sat there and stared at it instead of immediately dipping it into the glass of water right in front of him and diluting it... 💀
My chemistry teacher wanted me to pour bromine from a dirty bottle (Im 99% sure that the stains were from bromine) with no gloves into some stone hole thingy, pour something other I dont remeber and then stir it with my finger
dropping a mixture of piranha, chrome mixture, strong alkali on your hand is much more dangerous than bromine, bromine will leave a small burn and that’s it, piranha will burn your skin in an instant. There are hundreds of organic compounds that can only be smelled in lethal concentrations, there are a bunch of terrible carcinogens (pyridine, carbon tetrachloride, benzene, nitrosamines, dimethyl sulfate and other alkylating agents) that can give you cancer from prolonged contact, this is a thousand times worse than a stupidly small burn from bromine, which is much less painful than a burn from a hot iron. I can compare bromine with concentrated nitric acid, the same pungent unpleasant odor and the same yellow burns; the acid is even more painful than bromine. Nail Red exaggerated the danger of bromine for the sake of attention; experiments with this element were shown to children in schools in the USSR
As someone with a huge interest in hobbyist chemistry, I'm really happy to see you go from a NileRed parody channel to actually doing projects with a level of humor similar to 'I did a thing'. I knew from those early videos that there was something suspicious about how cavalier you were with various chemicals, explosions, and countless poor pieces of glassware, that I figured the man behind it could only be a chemist himself.
Playing with bromine and doing chemistry in general in the small space of a vehicle is wild, this would be just as interesting in a larger well ventilated area, but to be completely honest i did click this video to say your a mad man to be doing this in a vehicle so i am just gonna have faith that you know what your doing
Im actually impressed that your glass tube apparatus that broke multiple times actually worked and functioned as intended. I would have given up on that piece of glass way sooner.
Blowing glass is an art form and takes a really long to time to get good at. It took me months to get perfectly clean welds with a good torch. I give you props for the effort.
its crazy that the only mayor injuries you got out of all of this were a 1st degree burn and bromine on your finger (that healed on its own in like a week)
Honestly pouring it on the hand is 1000x better than accidentally ingesting or breathing it in. Someone who works in the same lab as me often repeats in safety trainings that “once chemicals get inside of your body a whole different kind of chemistry happens than when it’s on your skin”. Skin is a decent barrier even for harsh chemicals like this, but once it gets inside your lungs you’re cooked.
@@matthewfife5115This is very true. Inhalation is always more of a concern than skin contact. And dangerous/lethal amounts by skin contact are always a lot bigger than from inhalation (spilling 10 g of sulfuric acid on your hand won't do anything at all except maybe dry your skin a little if you wash it off quickly enough, eating 10 g is lethal, breathing even just 1 gram of sulfuric acid vapor is lethal). But it is also true that a lot of nasty stuff is well absorbed by skin and that handling certain chemicals (contact poisons) without gloves (and the right kind of gloves) is pure madness (e.g. dimethylmercury, VX agent, hydrogen cyanide, etc...).
@@MedoKojiZiviOvdeyes, at least a little he has. Considering how nasty is the stuff he handles if he didn't have any safety at all into place he would 100% be already dead.
God i love my aussie creators. You got explosions and fire: Reasonably person doing advanced chemistry out of his shed using hardware store supplies, you got I did a thing who constantly puts himself in grave danger, and then you have a fusion of both in MrGreenGuy.
@@n0o0b090lv let's be real here. walter white is too prissy to sleep in a portapotty, let alone do chemistry in a literal hatchback with selfmade glassware.
I'm a chemistry student i also got spilled bromine in my right index finger with bromine while doing an experiment at the lab (I was done doing my experiment and was cleaning my glasswares and I have a habit of taking off my gloves once the experiment is finished). I had the bromine at a fumehood and for some reason my hands clumsily lost control of the reagent bottle that I was holding and spilled some bromine at my index finger. Had that same coloration, my skin naturally peeled off after a few days and the coloration was gone.
Bro came straight from the 1860s with these safty protocols and im here for it. There has always been an inherent spirituality in saying “fuck it, im doing the science, who cares if it kills me” that i am frankly not ballsy enough to experience. I will be living vicariously through you and my frequent daydreams about that one guy who dicovered chloroform, huffed it, passed out, hit his head, woke up, then decided to huff it again but this time record how long he was out. My pronouns may be he, but i’ll never be him.
3:52 “and drive to my secret hideout spot that I’ve planned out to be where no one in the universe knows” 🤣 WTF MAN THATS MY FAVOURITE LOOKOUT! Been watching you since your first vid I had no idea you’re a local
I'm lucky that I didn't try synthesizing broming when I wanted to with less than 1/3 of the knowledge I have atm in chemistry... I should upload a video I made of boiling ethanol next to an open candle indoors on purpose. I have over 30 minutes of unedited footage of the most scuffed extraction ever made and it's hidden somewhere on my old phone. True extraction, not like your older videos and somehow actually got beautiful acetaminophen crystals without any issues. When the bromine touched your skin, it reminded me of stirring hot ethanol with my finger without gloves xD
NileRed: *makes a whole video about how safety is important* MrGreen: let's make bromine in my car and hack together molten glass to make some sort of W shaped thing
as being good long friends with a glass blower, scarred me for life after he got his fume hood installed and then told me the risk of blowing glass bubbles and them exploding without correct ventilation, (something about breathing in micro glass and you can never ever get it out and it can kill you) be careful MrGreen! i do enjoy watching you!!
as much as i'd love to do some chemistry myself, i'm pleased i can just watch some dude produce a carcinogenous toxic stuff from the safety of being half a world away and protected by my monitor
@@МатвейБакальский-ъ7ф Correct. It's not proven to be acutely carcinogenic. However, its caustic properties can in fact cause damage at the cellular, and indeed the microbiological levels. The primary hazard is inhalation as it damages the lungs beyond repair. It's kind of okay to lose your hand to bromine because you can live without a hand.
Tbf, i'm pretty sure Nilered did that as well at some point and he explained that it's not really a big deal because he obviously always has something next to him to neutralize it.

The thing you were encountering with the cracked glass is called crack propagation. Basically if you add energy to a crack, in any way, the crack uses that energy to increase in length until it reaches a stable state again. You can do a similar thing with just a hair dryer on windshield glass.
I have inhaled some bromine, some 7grader during chemistry class dropped styrofoam box that had few vials in it, of course the box was open and two of the 6 vials broke when the box hit the floor. I was in class next door and that weird odor came trough the open doors. 6 ambulances and few firetrucks full of firefighters came to check us up and ventilate the whole building.
@@williamstaples8964 It was part of the teaching, the teacher who was bit off brought the more dangerous chemicals from the locked cabinet so they can look at them. That was the last time it was allowed (primary school :D)
Nile Red being wacky and chaotoc: me break glass, me smash glass with hammer 😜🤪 Mr.Green being chaotic: I poured bromine on myself and obtained a real chemichal burn 💀💀💀
I'm amazed this didn't go more wrong than it did. And that's saying something, considering no more than a minute passed by without something going horribly wrong. I was genuinely fearful for the guy. It's like the worst combination of NileRed and I did a thing. And I couldn't take my eyes off it.
Bro, if you did this in the southern US where I am you would have the swat team and hazmat response unit there thinking you were cooking meth in about 5 minutes. 🤣 AFP needs to upgrade their game! 😂
@@foodiusmaximus Boron Uranium Sulfur Tennessine / Nitrogen Uranium Tennessine? (... Tennessine is "Ts", to spare people the google. Could optional replace the first occurrence with Tantalum)
i have zero knowledge in chemistry but this video looks cool. also mad respect for repairing that glass thing over and over, thats some real dedication!
