[@masacatior]

Proudy champs

[@aroulos]

That green and red lithium borohydride flame was beautiful

[@reconx86]

thats why toilet paper spontanously caught fire

[@nullvoidpointer]

25 now

[@dancingCamels]

Chlorosulfonic acid + paper towel makes fire. Someone in my lab learnt that the hard way!

[@HistoryShell1786]

Wow, are they ok?

[@dopesounddjs]

More importantly, is their börthole ok?

[@dopesounddjs]

Oh shoot, my dyslexic ass brain read that as toilet paper, my bad. But fr, they ok fam?

[@GodlikeIridium]

How dare you wasting the most valuable good in these times? Or were you one of the many toilet paper hoarters and now need to get rid of it? XD But great video anyways^^

[@randomhuman1965]

Handy in case I get stuck in the forest with no matches LOL. Srsly you are the greatest though!!!!

[@transkryption]

it was just a conspiracy by the toilet paper industry

[@spcraftsman2656]

[@andrewgrow5711]

Toilet paper hoarders: "nuuuuuuuu!"

[@DrakkarCalethiel]

Love the flame color of the formic acid and lithiumborohydrate, that greenish red looks amazing! Can't hear chromyl chloride without thinking about NileRed. :D That flame in the last reaction was huge!

[@Muonium1]

The exceptional videography is really apparent here at 2:00 where we can actually see the intrinsic GREEN color of sodium (Na2) vapor! When we typically think of "sodium vapor" the color yellow comes to mind due to the famous D line doublet emission and this is what's of course responsible for the color of yellow street lamps. But that's atomic excitation emission, and here we see the very rarely observed diatomic MOLECULAR absorption of sodium, I guess due to some vibronic coupling mechanism. You can see that it's very ephemeral and lasts only a few seconds and exists only in the few millimeters above the burning metal where the vapor concentration is simultaneously very high but is also cool enough to allow the dimers to exist without being ripped apart into monoatomic Na. Beautiful.

[@shorty1815]

It feels like a waste, seeing all these highly expensive materials being burnt. And the chemicals were not cheap either, I guess..

[@EdwardTriesToScience]

He just has exotic chemicals in large quantities, and this kinda shows what you should not mix unless you want fire.

[@thetinfoilhatmanbandcarava4003]

And you wonder where all the toilet paper has gone

[@Deathbrecht]

Wonder no more. 🙄

[@GRBtutorials]

Nah, the toilet paper is more valuable!

@deee 327 you did not let it be. You have failed us all but most importantly yourself. I hope you felt clever

Hmm I can really see myself in a survival situation using these methods, thx for enlightening us.

[@reactionchamber]

XDD

[@272zub]

If you are stranded in the woods, are freezing and have no matches, but happen to have hydrazine hydrate and chromyl chloride... :)

[@EdwardTriesToScience]

I'm guessing that Glycerol + Potassium permanganate is not in this video, because it is very well know.

[@ZoonCrypticon]

No, it is just because it is to easy to come by.

[@RevJynxed]

And you thought Calcium-48 was expensive. All that TP... oh the humanity!

[@nigeljohnson9820]

The trick is to make fire without using extremely powerful reducing and oxidising agents. A reaction I have found fascinating is the air oxidation of cotton cloth impregnated with a dryer oil, made from turpentine and manganese dioxide or linseed oil. Over a period of hours, the heat builds up until the cloth ignites. It is the explanation of a number of fires that have resulted from discarded painting cloths,used for cleaning brushes. Apparently this reaction has also been used by special forces in sabotage actions.

[@SLIPKNOT957a]

I like how he has the microphone clamped into his beard. Also the videos are great!

[@scrotiemcboogerballs1981]

On my phone the big fire at the end had a pretty green flame on the outside of it

[@GRBtutorials]

Yes, that's the boron in decaborane

[@ZoonCrypticon]

In a survival situation without fire, somewhere in the cold arctic night of Sibiria, holding a roll of toilet paper in his half frozen hand, utter desperation shouts out of a man: "Darn, where did I put my decaborane and chromyl anhydride again???" You should definitely rename your channel to: "The Master of Never-heard-before-and-never-to-come-by-chemicals". Still excellent work man!

[@Freizeitflugsphaere]

All that waste of precious toilet paper🙈😬

[@dopesounddjs]

I can’t explain how much I wanted you to just slap the whole spatula of potassium superoxide on that nitromethane omg 😂

[@sebastiand152]

Great video! How about indirect ignition? Exothermic chemical reaction with heat transfer to a chemical with a low ignition point. Could be an interesting application for CS2, but please be very careful with it!

[@S730SD]

Yellow phosphorus dissolved in CS2 could be a good one :)

[@TheExtremeFizz]

Looks like you brought a lot of toilet paper for quarantine 😂

[@glennfiddich2945]

[@barthooghwerff1682]

The last one was really epic!

[@jaysn1683]

Your discipline at 4:50 is astonishing, I would have dumped the entire pipette in there immediately!

[@selbststandigerschichtarbe6369]

I love how both the flames of the LiBH4 and the Decaboran(14) reaction are slightly green-ish from the Boron. Also, I would have expected the Chromyl chloride reaction to be much more violent. Great video!

[@lazyman114]

Hey would you be willing to do some interesting syntheses that go a little more in depth than the binary reactions you're showing? Something that has multiple steps and maybe involves reactions where you don't know the exact result in advance. I really enjoyed when you showed how to make anhydrous nitric acid, for example. Also, I was wondering if there are any reactions where you could show the oxidizing power of flourine and what it can do. There must be some flourine compounds that are safe enough to handle (unless there aren't).

[@S730SD]

Fluorine is safe to handle if the right precautions are used :)

[@dars7657]

Thanks for teaching me how to not die. I actually had nitromethane and potassium superoxide kinda to each other on my shelf.

[@ConstantlyDamaged]

Oh, there's another good one. You apply potassium chlorate, sulfur, and fine glass (mixed with a binding agent to keep them coherent and stable) with a little force against a thin layer of red phosphorous⸮ Love the video!

[@awli8861]

Simple matches?

[@ConstantlyDamaged]

@@awli8861 Safety matches. :)

[@awli8861]

@@ConstantlyDamaged Armstrong mixture?

[@ConstantlyDamaged]

@@awli8861 No, I literally described what safety matches are made of. The red phosphor is actually in the paper strip on the package and the glass is used to cause that to heat up and ignite the match.

[@mikeg4972]

Onto a small pile of pool shock (Calcium Hypochlorite) add super glue(Cyanoacrylate), until the pile is damp with the glue. Allow 30 seconds to 1 1/2 minutes and it should smoke briefly and vigorously erupt into flames. Burns with a nice red to orange color.

[@MrVeryCranky]

After lighting five different fires from dangerous chemicals while on a camping expedition, one needs to go to the toilet. Just one problem, there's no toilet paper left 😂

[@debrainwasher]

Amazing! The first hypergolic roll of toilet paper, I saw in my life.

[@Leo_Aqua]

Factory worker: someone is going to wipe their butt with this. CF: Nuh uh

[@LSD209]

Awesome video, thank You. @4:40 You said "violent reaction, it seemed to be the least violent, smokier than the previous but the flame was tame... Anyone else or did I just not perceive it as others do?

[@nigeldepledge3790]

Well, that solution of decaborane in ethyl acetate looks like the best tinder! I can't help but think, though, that matches are slightly more portable. If I should ever happen to find myself in the wilderness with no matches though, I'll be certain to keep an eye out for high-oxidation-state chromium compounds... 😁

[@redCrambler]

I saw spontaneous combustion and I assumed human was the missing word. WHERE ARE MY BURNING PEOPLE?!?

[@alvinkwok587]

Chemical Force: To start a fire without a match, you need a propane torch..... Me: So, why don't just use the propane torch.

[@Flanker35]

For me the cheapest and readily available potassium permanganate and glycerine are the most practical candidates for hypergolic combustion.

[@ralbiruni]

Très belles réactions merci pour ces belles couleurs notamment avec decahydroborane. Vous auriez pu aussi montrer le feu fénian avec P in CS2 ou l'inflamation du papier ou du bois avec pur H2O2. Mais soyez certain, mon cher, que j'aurais trop peur d'utiliser vos WC.

[@mihalytorley5480]

Absolute madlad stuck the microphone in his beard

How about next time: there’s this beautiful lavendar-colored powder called Tris(hydrazine)nickel(II) nitrate, that you can try to chemically induce combustion...hopefully not detonation...and see you on the next amazing episode! 🔥💥😄

Ya know, I almost decided to go to college for a chemistry major, but I ended up going to a trade school for informational technologies (IT)

[@jamesg1367]

Delightful fireworks. Many of these oxidizers you're using are very rare to find in any amateur lab. I wonder if there are any novel fiery things that you can do with more common oxidizers... KmnO4 pops to mind, and calcium hypochlorite. I know, they've been featured a lot on YT, but I suspect the possibilities have not been exhausted.

[@mrmax35]

at 1:06: sodium azide shouldn't be scooped with a metal spatula may form shock explosive metal azides on your spatula by accident. Which might spray chemicals in your face next time you scrape it. I use a disposable plastic spoon or glass pipette to scoop NaN3. cool video sorry to be a buzz kill.

[@kkendall99]

My personal favorite is manganese heptoxide but what about the most common, potassium permanganate and glycerin?

[@At0mix]

Why do some reactions ignite so much more violent than others? Is it simply a matter of heat generation, or is there more at play?

[@VitoBurrito]

Basically yes. The more stable the potential product ,the more energy releases during reaction. Also in reactions where gases are formed; due to expansion of gases, pressure rises very rapidly which combined with the produced heat creates a big or a small explosion

[@filipdojcar9095]

pls can you try this: pour concentrated sulphuric acid on some nitrocellulose or the same thing but with con. nitric acid

[@Rhodanide]

Literally *BOTH* of those things are used in the synthesis of NC... Do you _really_ think anything remarkable is going to happen? Lmao

[@kuravax]

a real pro is not the one able to make the simples fire without matches (e.g. KMnO4+H2SO4+EtOH or HNO3(fuming)+EtOH), the real pro is one that can waste the most expensive reagents doing it, and knowing how they would react. Nice LiBH4 flame btw
