I was wondering when you were talking about how cotton helps as a good material for the PPE would the PPE be a layered garment composed of lead and cotton or is it just cotton.
shipping chemicals is stupid btw, especially customs will just ruin it completly. I've once ordered a similar white powder and customs just ruined it. It was only 10g and out of those, barely 8g arrived and it was all wet. My precursor was sensitive to water (including air) and arrived useless. Luckily, since the packaging was correct and labled and had gone through the proper shipping channels, I could get my 400€ back from customs. Only took a few years of pestering them.
so, lab grade is usually a lot more pure then food grade, but it has very different impurities such as heavy metals (in salts for example). Food grade chemicals are also usually massproduced and end up cheaper to buy :)
@@derpderpin1568true, there's many good reaction channels out there, but in a weird way the best ones are always the most underrated ones. The ones with the most subscribers are always the "bad" reaction channels
Indeed, as well as this sort of reaction, the "reactor adding more context to the contents of the video" another sort I like is when the person soaks up new information like a sponge and are excited to learn.
I love watching vids like these where I'm getting 2 different perspectives from different scientific professions. Just a lovely, informative vid, thank you. :D
Love the reactions! I think when you mentioned hydrolysis and submarines, the process you ACTUALLY were referring to was electrolysis. Electrolysis is the breakdown of water into H2 and O2, whereas hydrolysis is the breakdown of a chemical compound due to the addition of water. Keep up the great vids! :)
Mostly correct. Except the products of electrolysis is pure hydrogen (H1), 2 atoms and Oxygen8, 1 atom..... The correct symbolic writing of water is 2H1,1O8 but for simplicity it is short hand written as H2O.
@@tfolsenuclear I don't think submarines use electrolysis. Electrolysis works by separating hidrogen from oxygen of water molecules, but sea water has salt. When you do electrolysis of salt water you pull hydrogen and chlorine from it, leaving sodium oxides as a residue. Needless to say that breathing chlorine is a bad idea. I think Veritasium made a video about how submarines produced their own oxygen. Either Veritasium or Smarter Every Day, not sure which one. For submarines to do electrolysis they would have to desalinate sea water first or have their own fresh water supply. Edit It was Smarter Every Day, not Veritasium.
@@andregon4366can't the submarines do distillation? With a lot of heat from its portable nuclear plant, evaporating salt water can both turn the turbines and distill it.
i loved what you did with your ad slipping your openning tag line in there. really put home the idea that the best engineer realizes they are a student for life :3
Good to hear the chemical risks of thermal power generation mentioned. A good fraction of the cost of a thermal power station is in water treatment. That's until a mix-up in the plumbing at a new power station leads to sea water going into the boiler. That was one expensive oops.
13:33 - i think you are thinking of electrolysis here - using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen hydrolysis is using water to break bonds between molecules
Hi, I recently found your Chanel trough the RU-vid recommendations and have found that you are by far my favorite react youtuber, you actually add new information to the original video, all while managing to still be funny, whit all that said I'd like to recommend weendigoon's video: the most painful death, its a very long one about a very infamous case of acute radiation sickness, but I think you would like it.
Hi Tyler, I have a old but gold video to share. The video "Consumed by the Apocalypse" by LEMMiNO has a segment into nuclear war after the second half of the video. I thought you might enjoy it. LEMMiNO videos are always great so I do hope you give them a chance someday.
20:55 It's not quite true that pure water doesn't conduct electricity. Pure water actually self ionizes and at 25C, the [H3O+] and [OH-] ion concentrations are 1.0 x 10^-7 M. It's true that it is much higher resistance than salt water but it is still conductive.
The more accurate phrase should have been "water is a poor conductor of electricity" or for that matter most materials even those we consider and use often as insulator. And also, just like water, conditions like temperature can change the conductivity of a material and how we get superconductors.
Nile Red: I did extensive research on the enzymes and acids and methods I could use to safely break down the cotton to get glucose out of it Also Nile Red: so then I just kinda eyeballed it bc idk anything about caramelizing sugar
I accept that chemistry is basically a branch of physics. But man is it a cool one! I love rearranging atoms! So many cool things you can do with chemistry!
High glucose ratios can definitely be a problem when it comes to making cotton candy, especially in a low end machine like Nile is using here. Having cooling fins helps a lot and probably would have made a half reasonable product. Crushing or grinding it prior to running it through the machine may also have helped some to get finer threads. Those machines definitely struggle with larger pieces whereas chunks of rock candy that I make and Jolly Ranchers both make fantastic cotton candy in the upper mid grade machine I run now. As an occasional cotton candy professional (not expert), this was definitely one of my favorite videos of his.
I like to make Scottish tablet. Candy making is not intuitive, you just have to know by look, feel and thickness, and it is very easy to burn it. The margin between your candy having lots of burnt bits through it and being perfect or just not setting can seem frustratingly small, and when you make large batches you have to stir the thickening molten sugar and fat mixture hard. It is basically a whole lot of watching nothing happening for a long time and then a burst of activity all of a sudden.
For caramalising, could be smart to put a pure glucose sample next to it as it would stary clear and become brown when done acting as an indicator for the impure stuff
On the food grade comment, he mentioned the calcium carbonate being food grade. Interestingly, he didn't mention the sulfuric acid being food grade, though it is available as food grade. Appropriate parameters for cooking sugar could likely be obtained from a book discussing candy production.
I love Nile Guy's purity of chemical dorkiness, but sometimes his insistence on not "researching" basic craft skills -- from cookbooks or woodworkers or jewelers -- gets a little much :)
You did not do a reaction to plastic gloves into hotsauce like you suggested ☹️ You reacted to the plastic gloves to grape soda which is a different video. Maybe you react to the hotsauce one? 🙈 I have yet to watch that too.
They're made when a mommy nuclear rod and a daddy nuclear rod love each other very much and then the power plant stork comes and takes the energy to the plant
Too coarse a grain and you can clog your machine, whereas, too fine and you run the risk of an end product with a slightly charred taste. Looks like you managed to do both, gratz!
Maybe Milo Minderbinder / M&M Enterprises (in Joseph Heller's Catch 22) should have done this, instead of just dipping the cottonnballs in chocolate, after havng bought up the Egyptian cotton harvest and having issues getting it sold...
Tyler, a while ago on a Discord server I asked people how they would feel about GMO cotton. My opinion is that we need GMO products. I mean... we wouldn't have had penicillin in WWII without out.
That "ginsing" is why you don't let children handle mail. You would be amazed what the USPS has detected on mail, and you never know what your mail has come in contact with. Paranoid? Maybe a bit. But safe.
Regarding your question earlier in the video, I think he would be wise enough to know that carbon credits are a greenwashing tool and not a realistic way to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. I don't know this for a fact, and if he didn't know about them he'd probably just say he doesn't know enough to have an opinion on them.
My Chemistry Professor in Maynooth University taught us this: May her rest be long and placid. She added water to her acid. She forgot that we had taught her To add her acid to her water. The Rev. Professor Michael T. Casey, O. P.
This is the reason why I don't buy anything on places like Alibaba, Temu or any other Chinese marketplaces. It's a game of chances on whether you get what yer expecting or not. And even if ye do get what yer expecting, odds are its so cheaped out that its useless.
11:26 so you're saying the scientists took that whole "irradiate life to create overpowered mutants" thing that was pure fiction, and made it happen? 🤣Nice.
Rè electric shock in water. Electricity always takes the easiest path (path of least resistance) and the human body is more resistant than water (except of course dialectric water) so if yiu are totally immersed in water and touching nothing but water you will receive NO shock. The potential surrouning you is the same in all directions. The sjock occurs when you touch something else that is conductive... As an aside if you are surrounded by 50,000 (or more) volts - everything you are touching is equal you get no shock. It is why birds on a high voltage wire receive no shock unless they touch 2 wires of different potential...
You should react to the entire skibidi toilet series, its a documentary about a future on where people are converted into toilets due to insane gamma radiation from the "Great Emitter"
Food grade doesn't mean what people think. Food grade means it has been tested to not kill people, not at all that it is pure. You can see his mistake, when he did his "cleanest cookie" recipe. He spent way too much money on clinically tested ingredients, when all that means is that the ingredients has been measured and that they have exact measurements of the impurities in them.
@@pilsplease7561 It does not. It ONLY means that it is not dangerous for you to eat. For instance for it to be food grade, the FDA allows for 75 insect fragments in 50 grams of flour.
To be honest some of the shit that ends up in bins of grapes from harvest crews will make you never want to touch wine again the alcohol content of wine pretty much protects it from a lot of nasty bacteria and etc. But I have seen dead birds, mice pocket knifes, rubber bands, and a whole host of stuff, each and every bottle of wine has at least 1 spider in it as well. @@eidodk
I wonder if you'd ever imagine also do videos where you play video games, if so I'd somewhat suggest Factorio, it's quite technical which you might like. Love from Estonia 💙🖤🤍
