THANK YOU!! ✌️👑

[@JDFisher0415]

It's nice to see this video, because it Immediately made me think of the rocket fuel video that Grant made.

[@TheKingofRandom]

That is what inspired the video! Thank you for watching! - Grace

[@ImmortalAbsol]

@@TheKingofRandom That first sugar fuel video is when I found the channel and I've been here since. Feels like the channel has had three distinct era's, all awesome. Thank you.

[@mathewzacharias7233]

I also found this channel because of the rocket vid

[@DownhillPearson]

I made that when I was like 10 and I’m 18 now I’ve been doing his projects ever since, thanks for the flashback forgot about this till now

[@communistsimp98]

Probably one of the first videos I've watched of him years ago.

[@rjaws]

I think the problem everyone is having is it’s only Grace (we love you grace don’t worry) but she needs someone to bounce off of and crack jokes with. Definitely miss having cohost. Hopefully someone to match her energy.

[@AustynSN]

Sidekicks rarely work well on their own with nobody to work with. Grace is great, but she's no Tim Drake.

[@LabCoatz_Science]

I'd love to see some other oxidizers and chemicals mixed with the candy! Maybe potassium chlorate or something to change the flame color? Could be a neat way to make a safe, DIY pyrotechnic fountain! Also, it might be fun for you to try mixing the sulfuric acid and permanganate, since that produces manganese heptoxide, which is extremely reactive and basically auto-ignites whatever it touches. Great video, keep it up!

[@TheKingofRandom]

Thank you for the ideas and suggestions! We will for sure have to revisit the candy heart experiments! - Grace

[@adama1294]

Potassium Chlorate would be too sensitive with suger and might explode. I saw Potassium Chlorate mixed with silicone caulk and it makes a great rocket fuel.

[@ImmortalAbsol]

I'd need to see it in a rocket. Do static fires in rockets and time it, also try adding bell nozzles for fuel to thrust efficiency.

[@TheKingofRandom]

I like the idea! We will have to give it a test! - Grace

[@markallen8027]

It really does need to be tested. My hypothesis is that the sugar contains the same amount of energy, so the gain in burn time will result in a loss somewhere else. My prediction is in how high/far the rocket flies.

[@Nighthawkinlight]

Woo dangerous! But fun. Try not to use glass containers that would shatter in an accident.

[@TheKingofRandom]

I used a pyrex pan, I didn't imagine it would have shattered the way it did! I was honestly shocking that it shattered, which shows how much heat and energy it was putting out!

[@amithnair6867]

@@TheKingofRandom you can try pouring hot water, the should resolve the pan's explosion issue 😅

[@samsimington5563]

@@amithnair6867 Worth a try. 🙃

[@tigerop6371]

U should make more videos like this because i know people use to watch this channel because of these kind of video ❤

[@PaulG-ru9lq]

Liquid oxygen and...a nerve agent? Well, someone used mercury in rocket fuel before so...

[@elawinjala1635]

She said it was strange how the mass of the piles of sugar stayed the same but actually that’s very normal. When you have a reaction, you can’t gain or lose mass so you’ll end up with equal reactants and products. The reason we don’t always see this is because is a product is a gas it can tend to just float away in the air unless you have a method to contain it

[@simbachand]

the candy heart made some great reaction!! that was awesome! I love how each videos are engaging and totally Random! ;)

[@philippefatouros6267]

Finally an actual piece of science again! This is nice to see

[@TheKingofRandom]

Very glad I could provide!

[@elif.9695]

I agree.

[@mohammadhamadeh5175]

Heyyy!! I hope you are having a great day! I just want to thank you so much for continuing the legacy of this channel, I still enjoy watching your videos as much as I did with ones from years back, I grew up with this channel, it made me love sciences and experiments, and to this day i still do, and so genuinely thank you and I hope you are having all an amazing day ❤️

[@mpunktd5447]

Great Video :) I think you should change the ratio of the new Rocket Fuel. For me it looked like there was some oxidizer left after the reaction happened!

[@TheKingofRandom]

There was for sure! It reacted for a long time!

[@StarScapesOG]

Do it! Also, powdered sugar actually frequently has cornstarch added to help prevent caking, so maybe make your own powdered sugar with out cornstarch and see if it works better?

[@Chemanic1]

Great video as always!👍

[@YitocukKilic]

Haven't watched one of your videos since when you guys dipped everything in liquid nitrogen, haha! glad to see the channel is still going strong!

Love the video keep up the good work

[@llam8394]

Can't think of a better use for a terrible "candy." Love seeing them go up un flames!

[@dsunsparky8668]

Nice! just need a head-to-head rocket test please!

[@DjErrour]

if you really wanna test the rocket fuels comparatively, you need to see how much gas they create from the same amount of fuel. there are plenty of channels that show examples of how to set up a test like that. compare how much gas is made and how long it took to burn away, and whichever produces a higher volume of gas in less time is the better fuel. a burn on a plate doesnt really show much in terms of viability as a rocket fuel. i also think it'd be interesting to test pixie sticks since they are mostly made of glucose (dextrose), should be a simpler sugar for the reaction to break down more quickly. candy hearts also contain dextrose, but there's also a bunch of corn syrup and binders as well, that might even be hindering the potential.

[@maximilianmolnar1386]

gas volume isn't everything. That's why they use aluminum powder in commercial SRBs. But it's some measure at least. Anything is better than nothing. As was shown here.

[@ROTPS138]

How can you possibly be surprised at the reaction of putting a burning object in a plate with another flammable object and that it combusts? I'm truly saying stupidity recorded in live fashion.

[@user-dr1bj1bq2e]

What does the smooke of the fume contain in the granilated sugar sulfuric acid experiment ?

Yet another thing I can do with the candy I didn't get for Valentine's day

[@tuffy712]

I really wish youtube recommended this channel more I keep forgetting to search for it

[@brucejacobs4026]

If you buy powdered sugar in the grocery store (in the US) it has corn starch in it.

[@cokemillion]

She's definitely wrong about the powered sugar not having enough surface area. A powder has the most surface area.

[@astraeides11145]

omg FINALLY. i cant tell u how much ive been waiting for this. best video in years

[@TheKingofRandom]

Wow, thank you! That means so much!!! - Grace

[@thiccnuke8288]

I think the powdered sugar mixture would probably be more explosive... but as you said, it was made "forever ago". It soaks up moisture over time.

[@xemnior]

The burned powdered sugar and powdered candy hearts made me think of miniature volcanoes with trees 😂

[@hackall360gaming]

To test the more green candy hearts theory, you could try a test with a single color that is not green, and see if the amount of green residue is similar

[@halofennell3295]

i am team candy hearts because the way the hearts reacted was so cool

[@MrBean5268]

Powdered sugar (confectioner) sugar is actually is sugar mixed with corn starch, therefore slowing the burn rate

[@justsomeguywithacurse]

It’s really sad to see the decline of this channel in it’s quality. Still always going to be a supporter but it’s truly sad how this channel started to die 3 ish years ago

[@propopopa6869]

You 100% right

[@kylehewitt7]

I have a video idea that I've wanted to see for years. Thermite vs bullet proof glass

[@helensmith7357]

I don’t know enough chemistry to do more than look on in awe. Very intriguing.

[@daniwalmsley611]

I'm team which ever has a higher specific impulse... However the coloured exhaust has an interesting application when it comes to fireworks and having fun with friends and family

[@dhausmig]

Try candy hearts with different oxidizers. Loved this one.

[@TheKingofRandom]

OOOO THIS IS AN IDEA!!!!!!! I LIKE IT! - Grace

[@adilhussain3124]

This video was nice but you should put both of these in the ranmonizer rocket to get some actual numbers and figure out if you really did upgrade the old rocket fuel recipe.

[@whostobi7134]

If you test the Rocketfuel can you also make some Nozzles, to see if different types of fuels in compination with a nozzle give different results?

[@mandarin1257]

The fact candy hearts burn longer might be due to them burning slower... potentially making a worse rocket fuel. Still very interesting, though.

[@samsimington5563]

Pharoah's Serpent! (Again)

[@bobsmith6079]

Do a zinc powder and sulfur mixture which is what the usual amateur rocketeers use for fuel. It's much better than sugar and nitrate mixture.

[@The_PolishCow]

It's great to see TKOR use an old idea and upgrade it.

[@notfiction9241]

Really looking forward to seeing it in a rocket.

[@Tedd_Andersen]

TKOR pyromaniac in training ? "..looks SOOO COOL....."

[@megagamernick9883]

You should launch rockets side by side and see which one goes higher because a slower burn may not generate much thrust. And repeat a couple times to see.

[@sarabolinski8305]

OMG I LOVE THOSE GLASSES

[@itzcaseykc]

Definitely use the ground up Candy Hearts. Way to go.

[@Bigshooterist]

That's great! It might be fun to make a few rocket engines from each base (powdered sugar & powdered candy hearts) to check launch altitudes with an altimeter. Thanks! Awesome video.

[@bbeck104]

The chemicals in the drain cleaner that make it not easy your pipes can be oxidized by 35% H2O2 available at the beauty supply store for a more vigorous reaction

[@gogo311]

The Permanganate is so cool! It's amazing how many chemicals you can get in America. In Europe everything is regulated.

[@markmenard6961]

Can you pls try making smokeless powder with household materials and do some tests with it kinda like grand did but he made black powder so I’d really like to see smokeless powder made by very creative people

[@markuskholl4807]

Try glycerin, H2SO4, and NHO3. BTW keep an eye on the temp.

[@Tech_481]

I got a whole punch of old candy hearts so I gotta try it

[@Gagglewarrior]

You should make your own challenge

[@wesleythomas7125]

Seems like the candy heart rocket fuel has a slower burn. Of course, it could just be that the candy ingedients make it burn longer, the rocket test would settle the matter

[@DBrentWalton]

It's pretty funny to watch this as I did MOST of these things in the garage when I was a kid. Yeah... my poor mom.

Random question: is it possible to make a mold of a fingerprint (say like silicone) and use it to unlock a phone?? I'd imagine a thumb mould might work, but can you complete the task with just the fingerprint?

[@kennystrawnmusic]

Try mixing the potassium permanganate and sulfuric acid together next time, then reacting the resulting Mn2O7 with candy and see what happens

[@othridgerunner379]

Powdered sugar contains corn starch, which is harder to burn than pure sugar. Candy hearts are closer to pure sugar than powdered sugar.

@TKOR Try potassium permanganate, paper and glycerin. I used to wrap the KMnO4 in paper and place the paper in a dish of pure glycerin. The paper would soak up the glycerin and then when it would hit the KMnO4 it would burst in to flames. Also, I like this much better than your second channel. The talking-heads, as my wife calls them, aren't nearly as interesting as the actual experiments. That's just my and my wife's opinions. We both love the experiments.

Do not shake mix potassium permanganate, a small amount once blew up on me because of friction. Just stirr it together, it will mix better also.

[@Linus-nq2op]

Also how could you not have known there’s a high chance of one composition igniting the other if you put a large amount of them in one single glass (!) bowl…
