Uranium is my favorite

[@hansteves4480]

since you answer my curiosity, and i have small knowledge on how fireworks' colors. i give my gratitude to you! this is very nice educational video. thumbs up. i hope your future research on fireworks would be awesome than ever! and im expecting on future fireworks that will form shapes.

[@abhijeetraut6427]

The most helpful piece. I watched this video for reference and coincidentally the book I am referring is also written by him.

[@yurirerem]

this video made me learn SOOO much about fireworks!!!! i NEEDDD the stock room!!!!!!!1111

[@sanjanasrinivasan13]

I have my chemistry practicals and I've chosen the salt strontium chloride because of it's red colour after seeing this video!!!! Science is just amazing!!

[@ThaliaPeebles-eu7gn]

I like how they look. It looks like it’s a ball exploding into a bunch of tiny lines!

[@leelad]

0:46 Is that Princes Quay in Hull??

[@pschroeter1]

This was clear and excellent and Dr. Conkling was clear and excellent.

[@rimshaquddus894]

pschroeter1 yeah I agree

[@omsingharjit]

4:56 why blue is hardest , what you mean by Perfect chemistry in tecknical term ? Is it because of sodium contamination or else ??

[@harms123]

Blue compounds often get washed out by other colors. So you can't have sodium contam as you said and you can't have a too hot flame because then blackbody radiation washes it out. Getting just blue isn't all too hard, but a good blue is something people spend years chasing.

[@gvenky8143]

Thanks sir of the best class with live examples

[@quizkitten9641]

What a fantastic video. I’ve been asking fireworks related questions all week!

[@giaitri54]

Can you please give me details?

[@sladorswannam9617]

Now I have idea about what color produce by fireworks.

[@farheen_18]

Oh wow! That's awesome. I think I would remember it better this way! Thankyou!!

[@catalickconverta6823]

That store room is epic

[@madbhagwatmahapurandevkina1943]

Very very heard work

[@charlessmith263]

Oh, you did not mention "titanium". It is often used in certain salute shells. It doesn't matter anyway.

[@athanthbhardwaj3905]

That was a very fun + educational video . Loved it! 😆

[@thick502neck]

Thanks dude. I love fireworks especially the sound.

[@chefkris44]

I love watching and learning from your videos thanks keep them coming I can't wait

[@graceyu2041]

Same here

[@ACSReactions]

Thanks to both of you! We really enjoy making them.

[@DavidSmith-eg5le]

Two colors I'm wondering about purple and how do they get those colors

[@vanessahernandez-ru1jc]

Love the jazz music in the background ! Great vid.

[@omsingharjit]

5:00 but Cu should produce Green colour ?

[@harms123]

It can produce both green and blue. It depends on if there's a chlorine donor or not.

[@omsingharjit]

So if Cu is Cl salt which colour will come ? G or B ?

[@harms123]

@@omsingharjit Copper chloride will burn a blue-ish green.

[@omsingharjit]

@@harms123 once i made Catalyst Cu Acetone Exothermic reaction it was producing very rich blue colour with no ot very Little green .

[@Tobygtr35]

thank u so much for explaining.

[@roniblissit5191]

Very great video! interesting and informative, the great editing kept me from zoning out! our chemistry 2 professor for my bachelors added this to our weekly readings for a little extra knowledge. Thank you!

[@losthumanity1]

What about fireworks that whistle or those that behave in a certain manner after being shot up

[@IASwithVigour]

Very nyc video Sir , but what is precisely the role of oxidizer and that of fuel?? How do they react to give sparkles, i am not from science background , please explain.

[@amy776262002]

Thanks for sharing this! By the way, is there any possibility to change the background of the animation? It seems that such rotating scene makes me feel a little dizzy... (but that's just an advice, the content is great!)

[@charlessmith263]

The effect pellets are known as "pyrotechnic stars" or "stars."

[@saimanpombala9698]

good

[@euniceahmet1756]

I’ve always loved all types of fireworks bug n small so this is so interesting. I always wonder how fireworks are made

[@grisprod-sr2wf]

what does the black powder bursting charge and the black powder propellant do?

[@charlessmith263]

Now, if I were a pyrotechnician, and never read the American Pyrotechnics Association's book of chemical mixtures of colors, I could still make some different colors from the chemicals I know. For example, strontium plus sodium (red + yellow) will create an orange or next to orange flame. Or, barium plus strontium (blue + red) will create a purple flame. What about turquoise - a mixture of blue and green? This would require a copper (green) and barium (blue) type of compounds.

[@MadScientist267]

Blue is very difficult depending on exactly what you're doing. In solid state copper can pull it off without issue. In a reducing environment such as a flame it is difficult to keep it from producing green, which when that's the goal, it's a beautiful color with good brightness. Blue is higher energy light and the general trend is towards the heavier elements to be able to produce it, which is kinda a bad idea in many cases.

[@shaileshparnaliya8523]

But why it's go up and why it's blast up . Why not down?

[@rimshaquddus894]

Shailesh Parnaliya the fuel makes it explode high up in the sky that’s why

[@AustinsAwesomeAdventures]

KZbin nowadays provides educational content such as this and it was great

[@billyjackarmenta4625]

Wished I payed more attention in school it was hard if you only knew. I experimented on breaking down fire works throughout my younger years mixing certain fireworks making my own it was pretty interesting until I rubbed my eye no glasses that was fun

[@dave5194]

cause explosions are awesome!

[@سيدوردي]

Wow I love it

[@treblehead2504]

Nice 1812 overture at the beginning

[@ACSReactions]

+Mustakeem Ayuby we agree! But we're a bit biased 😉

[@Shotron]

Informative video Dr. Conkling. Sure hope you continue to inspire lots more inquisitive kids to join the energetic reaction community to ignite their passion for fireworks and BIG BANG Industries! Seeing the pyro sparkle in the eyes of a child must be safely, positively nurtured away from the dark side to ensure our traditions and industry continue in these parlous times... Nanny Kids of today will never experience the joys we had as kids, blowing up stuff, unless we properly, safely educate them, reducing numbers of Darwin Awards... Good onya! Cheers!
