A big thankyou to Daniel and Georgia for helping out with this video too, helping me make a video quicker than I ever have before (even though I think it shows, but sometimes you just gotta finish something and put it out, oh well). Especially amazing the Daniel was in the 2011 footage and in the 2021 footage, it's nearly 10 years apart and I'm still making bad chemistry videos but he's still happy to help out and I think that's very cool, you are a good friend.

Keeping glass away from explosives is definitely a good idea. I once had some glassware that had carbon on it and chromic acid wouldn't shift it so I and another (who shall remain nameless) made what turned into dimanganese heptoxide and it wasn't really happy at having so many oxygens around it so it got rid of some of them, as it tends to, and around six months later, we realised that we weren't shouting to each other any more. I wrote about this in the book Let the Devil Wear Black, writing under the name James F Linden. A few years later, I took the trouble to learn British Sign language in case something catastrophic happened with my hearing. basically, it was in a double fume cupboard with a glass dividing wall and we never found any of that divider - we think it just powdered. I had glass in my hand and I still carry glass around inside me over 40 years later.

Just want to clarify something: Nitrogen Trichloride didn't assassinate Michael Faraday, it was his mentor Sir Humphrey Davy. Though they were both still injured by it later. In fact, with the amount of damage it caused to Davy, it was the actual cause for Faraday to become his sort of handyman and assistant. But the greatest example of Nitrogen Trichloride lethality was to its founder, Pierre Louis Dulong, who lost two fingers and blinded one eye to it.

Also, the product we were packaging was yellowish, which should've been my first warning.

Now That's What I Call A Take-Home Message!

[@Mae_is_gae]

god DAMN IT

[@DustyRobertson]

I'm on my 3rd binge of your channel, fark your stuff is so rewatchable

[@uspockdad6429]

I hope you’re having a good break. Cool video. I like the tweaks in the style of this video. Can’t wait to see what you have when you return.

[@patrickdavis99]

"What kinda pool ya got mate?" "What?" Priceless.

[@TheMiningMeteor]

We actually went to Bunnings to get the stuff to make it and we couldnt find the chlorine tablets so we asked an employee and he asked “do you have a pool or a spa” and we just went “uhhhhhhhhhhhhh”

[@ryans3074]

Ahh! That awkward moment when your lost for words & you realise that they realise that your doing shady stuff.i know it well.

>Technology Connections music >NileRed collab >FINALLY BUYING A POP FILTER The hypest video this man has ever made

[@ReflectionEternal2]

Ok, 1:20 in and hearing "sensitive", "unpredictable", "explosives", and "we're definitely going to make some" has shown me the reason why I've never regret being subscribed to this channel 🙂

[@Eremon1]

Seeing my two favorite chemists from KZbin together made my urge to watch you guys collaborate on a video much larger. Also, this video made the episode of South Park with the pee in the pool so much more funny.

[@Weisz]

Going out with a bang as expected! Looking forward to season 2 😁

[@petersurawski7844]

As a post-doctoral chemist, I wonder why this channel doesn't have more than a million subs

[@Galethvia]

KZbin hating dangerous, non-family friendly things, like explosives. And fire.

[@ContingencyLabs]

I never forget the "get sweaty" step. Therefore, I think I've earned my honorary chemistry degree...that's not technically an oxymoron, right?

[@tiggers4ts]

This one reminds me of the person sitting next to me in the lab wanting to make TNT through Friedel craft pathway i.e. TCT. Not having done any background study himself, and not realising far more unstable, suggested he talk to the professor before proceeding, meanwhile heading towards the bar for two dollar jugs, as I was already ahead on the QSAR practical supposed to be doing, and wasn't hanging round for his site experiments! Also reminds me of an inorganic class that didn't cover their flasks on the Friday afternoon, dried out over the weekend, Prof opened the door on Monday to be blown through the door behind him and that entire lab and building now a massive chemical hazard with anything made of glass shattered and the contaminants everywhere! Chemistry so much fun! Favourite poster on the wall, don't be afraid to ask DUMB questions, they prevent STUPID mistakes!

[@smergthedargon8974]

3:44 So sensitive that it wasn't detonated by the stick impact - just the approaching air!

[@Crobisaur]

During my courses for a pool operator's license (yes thats a thing lol) they taught us about trichloramines and how to factor the total chlorine from the "free" (unreacted) chlorine. The goal of which is to keep at a ratio of 1-5ppm. then i worked at an olympic pool and we would just have to ignore that because would have so many patrons (pissy kids) in the summer that if we kept it at 5ppm it would all be depleted within one or two hours. So uh yeah being indoors watching a pissy pool for nearly a decade and having my eyes nose and skin feel like they were dragged through a salt bed was an experience to say the least. the smell stuck to me for a week+ after i would leave for school each semester.

[@Zorro9129]

Smh parents don't teach their kids to hold it in

[@The_Bird_Bird_Harder]

Public pools are... Eugh.

[@cuddlepaws4423]

That really is taking the piss

[@oscarwallis7597]

This, like all your other vids I’ve seen so far, is peak comedy, I was considering doing a physics PhD and you’ve convinced me to do one, cheers.

[@michaelbecker5995]

Just to let ya know, YT did recommend your White Phosphorus video a few days ago and i am so happy it did! thank you for all this amazing content. even if i am at a negative chemistry education 8D

[@eposttilthomas]

Truly a masterpiece of editing you have reached a new high 🙌

[@harrysheppard3745]

God bless you Bunnings

"what kind of pool do you have, mate?" "... ... aqueous?"

[@harrysheppard3745]

@Evan Cottle "how to make TNT from vegimite"

[@freehat2722]

This is my favorite video. A true work of art and hilarious.

[@giorgitsiklauri840]

1:40 that is possible with certain headphones, not ones like these that use a normal mic, but with those which use bone conduction, these are actually sometimes used at construction sites for communication as when bone conduction mics are used they only pick up the sounds in your jaw, aka what you say, and not background sounds.

[@0oShwavyo0]

I imagine that if you're physically holding a chainsaw you're likely transferring those vibrations into your jawbone. It's not that far away after all.

[@giorgitsiklauri840]

@@0oShwavyo0 You have a fair bit of shock absorption in your body, the joints are a big part of it. It's why running for example isn't as jarring as just headbutting the air.

[@0oShwavyo0]

@@giorgitsiklauri840 I get that, I just imagine a chainsaw creating strong enough vibrations that they might still be picked up. It's a pretty powerful machine after all, but maybe I'm underestimating our shock absorption capabilities

[@theoblack6810]

This editing style is like if bill wurtz had a degree in chemistry

[@trashcompactorYT]

As soon as you said you knew someone qualified enough to talk about piss chemistry I already knew who you were gonna talk about

[@nicholascopsey4807]

"Oh ya, the peeing in the pool bit" had me laughing on the ground honestly

[@MultiNaruto900]

"A terrifying yellow abomination" How did you describe me perfectly?

[@CatGeneralX]

Man, I would never have both the guts and the lack of self-preservation to swirl the nitrogen trichloride like in those clips

[@antibull4869]

Positive note: you know enough to understand the danger. And idiot might be “brave” enough, BUT they also don’t know

[@evanfishsticks8010]

I, an American, got a Bunnings ad on this video, right after Tom's Friendly Local Pool Store bit. Google's watching, Tom, and they like what they see.

[@motleythewild]

this is my new channel to binge watch bc im sad and disabled so I have nothing to do but try and not think about my problems. thank you

[@rundata]

I literally thought a callback to explosions and fire was a play on words! Subbed and belled dude!

Season 1 of E&F was a banger, cant wait for season 2

[@SharpForceTrauma]

Explosions&Ire + NileRed cameo= the greatest explosion since Bikini Atoll

[@DizzyEyes94]

My god calling back to the hedge trimmer bit during the Nilered call was perfect

[@cursedcancersurvivor]

I like the choice of background music. A really "explosives and chill" vibe.

[@alkylperchlorate388]

Season 1 of Explosions&Fire going out with a bang

[@tronjet66]

Very enjoyable video, best of luck with your internship!

[@ExplosionsAndFire]

thanks mate!!

[@nobodynoone2500]

Miss this channel. Extractions and Ire is cool, glad thats back.

[@GarryDumblowski]

I love how NCl3 is not only yellow, it's the exact same shade of yellow as actual pee.
