[@TheBackyardScientist]

Ive been impatiently waiting for the next video so i've done a bit of research myself on this :P. It seems like the effectiveness of shaped charges comes from the detonation velocity and brisance of the explosive. From what i've read increasing the pressure of a hydrogen oxygen mix does not raise the detonation velocity very much. However at 20 atmospheres thats 20x the combustion products to act on the liner, but were still only realistically looking at ~15 grams of explosive in the tube. PS the paper i was reading planned to test initial pressures up to 10,000 PSI but the mixture spontaneously exploded at 4,500 PSI, so dont do that ;)

[@TechIngredients]

Your research mirrors mine. The pre detonation pressure is limited to the containment of the plastic pipe. The hemispherical liner we're using is thin at 1.5 mm in order to lower its inertia, but this why we experiment...we don't know what will happen.

Honestly why not enrich the fuel mixture of a csr useing a hydrogen sprayer in the injection system or carborator. Think about it. If we used an electrolosus tank near the rear of the car that was run directly off the alternator it would theoretically split the hydrogen and oxygen from distilled water and create hydrogen and oxygen in two seperate tanks. Therefore we just mix them in the injection system and allow the car to get a constant fuel boost to help with fuel cutting fuel consumption. This would save a lot of money and energy in the long run. Its kinda like in video games when your driveing a car and somehow the nitrous just recharges out of thin air. But instead its hydrogen and oxygen being split and recombined in the engine block as it gets sparked into releasing its potential energy. Just as he said a 50 50 and a spark will work just fine.

We had a large cylinder tank of hydtogen left over from a lighter rhan are balloon experiment. We created an unverted pear shapped balloon made of tissue paper with appropriately sized and trimmed segments glued together. The herght of the balloon was about five feet and three feet in diameter. We filledcthe balloon with enough hydrogen to get it aloft. We tether the balloon with a two conductor wire with a model rocket igniter up inside the balloon. The balloon rose to a height of about 100 feet where the igniter was heated up and the balloon exploded. There was a shower of tissue paper particles and a large boom. That experiment was a one time event. This was 51 years ago. That was a year of such events.

"Hydrogen and flouride" sounds like a pancake. It's fl - u - o - rine. Nice stuff, dissolves almost anything and will _eventually_ save us from CO2 global warming when red hot and bonded to thorium 233 in thousands of LFTRs.

I liked that you captured the data for the rocket explosions. It lets the viewer see the impact of the rocket on the trailer and then be able to compare the data foot print for each run. Very well done. I will share with my colleagues.

Not only did it make me smile, and laugh hysterically, but this video transported me back to my school days in the science lab in senior school where we had plenty of opportunities to work with chemistry, and that included stuff like you do - not to the same degree, but we had fun. And it also reminded me of how much fine, and logical science and chemistry can be and id. Just the theoretical aspects are cool - coupling them with practical experimentation elevates it to a whole new level. Thanks for sharing your awesome videos with us.

This is definitely my favorite channel. I've watched every video, many multiple times. You clearly have an incredible amount of knowledge across a wide variety of topics, which is something I aspire to. I am very curious what (in general terms) your occupation/education was, and perhaps what you found as the best way to understand topics deeply (i.e. through conventional education, practical experience, etc). I imagine it must be easier now with all the readily available resources through the internet, but am very interested in your view on this. Thank you very much for making these videos, and by the way, the smiling is still effective across the internet :)

I totally agree with your analogy that people are smiling when you set these things off. When I got to Junior high School I love science and biology classes. The teachers like yourself were some of the most interesting people I've ever met besides some of those I served with in the U.S.Army. I was an automotive mechanic for over thirty plus years and was present to see the evolution of ignition and injection systems on vehicles. You use terms I am very familiar with as far as staciometric efficiency. Computer controlled combustion on internal combustion engines trying to reach a 14.7 to 1 air fuel ratio. Your channel is extremely interesting and you take me back to my youth with your lesson. Note I was a jock played football but got nerdy when it came to science and biology. Two subjects along with history that I still enjoy today. Keep up the great work your doing providing interesting subjects and chemistry experiments for us to all of view.
