These pyrotechnic videos (smoke flare, homemade rocket fuel, this) are awesome! What I really like is that your instructions are easy to follow and understandable as well.

This is my first vid im watching of him and i can already tell he was a great person R. I. P.

Love this one Grant! How about using this mixture as a delayed fuse for rocket launches? -Ritchie

[@TheKingofRandom]

That sounds like a great alternate use for the mix Ritchie!

[@annontoyologames]

Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" Oh so when another popular youtuber comments you reply ?? haha funny xD

[@IanMcCollumsor-tame]

Can I tell u a secret? Rather than as a fuse, use them as fuel for the rocket, it's very similar to rocket fuel after all!(though just a little bit of the oxidizer, less chance of it going out of control that way)

[@adrianafioravante4579]

ya do dat!

[@tammy7098]

SonicDadDotCom how to start a fire without match? Easy just use a flame thrower 😂

[@madwonderland5536]

Great video, Grant. It's high quality with lots of information and ideas. At first I was thinking "oh no, another useless fire starter" but then you explained the ingredients have multiple uses. Very awesome! I don't think I'd trust the grade integrity of potassium permanganate sold as a pool product, it could have toxic fillers mixed in. I'm liking these chemistry-related projects.

[@TheKingofRandom]

Enjoy the new twist on this classic experiment! And if you check out the Cottage Life channel, let them know you came from Grant Thompson's recommendation. :D Cheers!

Awsome video!Love them.

[@GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

Awesome video Grant, I was thinking it was different chemistry. Your combo is better! Keep up the great work.

[@Greggzz732]

dude, I love your videos. I've watched just about every one and there were multiple times where I thought to myself, "no way that's possible.... I can't believe it, this is awesome". keep doing what you're doing!

[@ROBwithaB]

Another great video, GT. I always love to see this particular reaction. It starts off so innocuously and then suddenly... *WHOOSH*. (P.S. And another very common use for glycerin is in... ahem... personal lubrication products. For my take on this one, I'll probably be dipping into the lady's handbag....)

[@TheKingofRandom]

Haha, exactly right!! ..if you want to be "anal" about it if you know what I'm sayin'! It's used in suppositories guys, get your minds out of the gutter!

Awesome way to make a fire, and i must make that soda cap container. Great to see you make more survival videos as well.

[@Randy_pig95]

Dude you just revolutionized fire starting.

[@joecardio1]

Man, this was awesome!! I'm a grade 6 teacher and am always looking for engaging activities that are relevant to the lesson but dazzle the students interests. I have only subscribed to your channel recently but after going through your videos, I already have a stack of new and fascinating lessons and activities to not only engage the students, but also keep my popularity rating up. LOL. Great vids. Cant wait for the next one! Cheers.

[@4MEStudios]

Grant, I think you're letting that table go to waste! Your next video build needs to feature the work station. Although these last few videos have been a lot of fun!😁

[@TheKingofRandom]

Don't worry Murl! As it gets colder outside, more projects will be done on the table :)

[@ShinKyuubi]

I remember seeing this little combo on Survivor Man when he was in Africa if I remember right. He did mention that the powder could be used for treating water but he didn't show it so it was nice to see that and to know what to wait for as far as color goes. I used to have a pool but I'd never actually used the stuff so it was cool to see and know a few places to get it so thanks a bunch.

[@NavigatedChaos]

Went on a 3 day trip and used this method each morning. Two of which was damp from a previous rain. But this combined with birch bark to keep the flame and dead pine twigs still attached to the tree, the fire always started.

[@gerald7429]

Wouldn’t the potassium permanganate be toxic when burned? Like, can you cook stuff over the fire?

[@oscarsimpsonjacka7917]

This is to get the fire started and not to actually cook over so I assume once it’s completely burnt off it would be okay

[@jangalexisruiz7491]

You can use it to start a fire for warmth and for cooking in a makeshift pot like a turtle shell.

[@andyaitken4243]

and now im on a watchlist

[@manofohmchemicalcreations1983]

You can get rid of the pink in the water with an additional small pinch of sugar. Also sugar water can effectively neutralize spills.

[@manofohmchemicalcreations1983]

Also if you mill the powder first you will get a faster flame due to the increased surface area. If you use this stuff a lot wear a HEPA filter gas mask because its a hepatoxin and you don't want to inhale a lot of it.

[@huskiesplays8420]

Manofohm Chemical Creations Wait... the fire can kill you? Will it be safe after a few minutes?

[@manofohmchemicalcreations1983]

The KMnO4 powder is somewhat toxic.

[@huskiesplays8420]

How do you make sure it's safe? Do you throw sugar in the fire or something?

[@skunkjobb]

Huskies Plays No sugar only helps to take out the residual oxidising effect of the KMnO4 in water, not in the fire.

[@ModernHybrid]

I'd personally let it burn for a bit before cooking anything to make sure the chems are all gone

[@khoakdoan]

Alrighty, thanks guys, you prevented a death

[@Vnifit]

SanQae Nope fire is NOT fire. It defiantly counts what fuel you burn and use to cook with. For example using wood and leaves from a ceder tree poisons your food. So make sure you only use proper fuel and also let it burn for a while before cooking.

I used to do this experiment in early 90s when i was 7-8 years old. My father is a doctor and he showed me this. We used to make a fake mountain with mud and sand and at the top we used to make a hole and put these two chemicals, it resembled a volcano! Such feels.

Nope, he hasn't. Also in your profile picture is that an AND gate or an inverter?

[@tobortine]

I think he has and it's an op amp.

[@csfelfoldi]

tobortine I don't think this reaction generates enough gases to make a potent bomb. However whichever country has KMnO4 powder on shopping shelves, probably sells other nasty stuff too... permanganate powder is restricted to industrial usage in most countries.

[@gavinobrien8221]

just whatever you do dont put it in your enemies locker *wink *wink

[@tobortine]

csfelfoldi I have no idea how potent it might be but I wouldn't want to try a lot of these ingredients in an enclosed container. If they're not particularly dangerous why do you think they are restricted in most countries ?

What a GENIUS! Make a little Fireplace with a circle of rocks, and have an even BIGGER one outside the circle! ONLY THE ENTIRE FOREST!! Sure, make a circle of stones, then totally CLEAR THE AREA AROUND THE CIRCLE about 2 Feet around it! If that Chemical Reaction, or even just the Fire itself, spat some sparks out into the Leaves? Not my fault mate! You're the one showing us how to burn a Forest down. I'm not being nasty or anything! It's Hilarious seeing people doing things without thinking first. Great idea, but, you showed us the Dangerous version! Especially leaving all those Leaves around the Firecircle.

you could also get 2 water sample bottles, dye it in fluorescent tint, then fuse it together with a dab of molten glass and use that as the container the fluorescence helps you find it if you happen to drop it in a river or stream or in a forest with low light conditions
