QI Compilation | Best Of Explosive Experiments

[@nickhughes9408]

There really needs to be a compilation of all the times Alan has done his impression of the QI producers shouting in Stephen’s ear

[@sarahlovesx]

stephen yelling "ARE YOU READY FOR ME TO PUMP MY CUSTARD" haunts my dreams every night

[@macdjord]

He has to pump it hard, until it erupts.

Idk if it's because I've only ever seen the compilations since Fry left but I prefer Sandy I think, just find she has a better rapport with guests and audience

Sandi is wonderful, and there is absolutely nothing to dislike about her. Stephen is at a different level altogether.

I did the custard thing in primary school, but I used a tin can with 3 candles in it, a tube at the base, and custard powder over the tube. I don't know they'd let you do that as a kid anymore

[@emmatorode6704]

Haha the little zero after 321

[@quietone610]

I used a Custard Powder example to teach about Classified (Hazardous) Locations. If you were wondering, powder is Classification 2, Division 1 (Where dust is always in dangerous quantity), and Class 2, Div 2 (present only in fault condition); or Zone 20 (when dust is present always), Zone 21 (present only in fault condition) or Zone 22 (briefly present).

Question to any biologists watching. If dark colouration absorbs more energy why did man lose the skin pigmentation when migrating away from warmer climates? Surely it would be evolutionary advantageous to absorb energy to reduce calorie requirements to maintain body temperature?

[@chedelirio6984]

Cold air/water draws heat away much faster than simple solar radiation in the higher latitudes can put it in, so it would not be an advantage to be darker-colored.

[@alisha5100]

Also in terms of melanin you're less likely to get sun burn if you have darker skin.

It needs to be oxidisable. Like powdered aluminium oxide won't burn because there's nothing it can burn to.

@@tharqal2764 but powdered aluminum should. IIRC, it is used in fireworks for a specific color.

[@bramvanduijn8086]

@@gljames24 Chlorine trifluoride would do it, that stuff oxidizes practically anything including glas, sand, water, and all metals, even the notoriously unreactive gold. It can only be stored in steel, copper, or nickel containers and not because it doesn't oxidize them, but because the resulting rust sticks to the metal protecting it from further contact with Chloring trifluoride. As long as you don't bump or shake it, or scratch the protective coating off. If it touches your skin, the moisture in your skin will make it explode. If your skin is dry your skin will ignite after which the blood under your skin will explode. If that doesn't kill you, the explosions result in a cloud of acid steam, and if that doesn't kill you both the substance itself and anything it turns into after reacting with you is toxic as hell. For such a dangerous substance the list of safety equipment is very short and a bit unusual, since it only contains one item: A good pair of running shoes. (Dr. John D. Clark) Anyway, my point is: anything is flammable in powder form if you replace the O2 with ClF3.
