These 30 Salt and Sugar Experiments & Tricks will BLOW your mind

[@81formann]

We actually learned all this in high-school. The teacher was great fun, and if we just promised to pay attention after, he would show us a new once a month or so. "OO, but only a small one this time". All his new students got the same "welcome to science class". He filled a balloon with oxygen and butane in a 7:1 mix, tied it to the end of one of the pull-down-maps. One of the students would get eye and hearing protection before they got handed a 1m (3ft) wooden stick and lighted the end. He is one of the best teachers I have ever had. No one ever got hurt, and if one or more of the chemicals used was particularly toxic or reactive he would never tell us the names. And no recipes were handed out. Me and some friends figured acetylene would make a better boom than butane. In a large garbage bag with a spark from a broken light bulb and a 30m extension cord. It made a bigger boom, but dont do in in a residential area. People get very scared and even more mad. The first one in the video, we did as a project on how to make rockets. Norwegian high-school in the mid 90s...It was a blast.

Oh yeah, the Potassium Nitrate and Glucose it is actually viral now in almost every channel. Basically, u need a PVC tube and at the ends, fill it with cement, in the middle, fill it with a thorough mixture of KNO3 and Sugar, attach a tube and like make a head and a tail like rockets. But it is actually pretty dangerous because it is an explosive and the fact that it can shoot up to 2000 ft high with speeds of 200 kmph.

[@ADVIKBOI236]

And the cement isn't real "cement" as is used to make building it means Kitty litter

[@billyandrew]

​@@ADVIKBOI236 Nor is the 'cement' used in Building Colleges. They substitute lime for cement, which firms, but cannot totally set, so anything the students use it for, such as bricklaying or plastering, can be easily scraped off bricks, etc, crumbled in a cement mixer, water added (some more lime, too, if required) and you have a new batch of 'cement' to work with.

1:25 Yes, it is electrolysis but not what you think. If you think you get oxygen and hydrogen, you are wrong. That only works with pure water. What you will get instead is hydrogen and chlorine (CL), a poison gas. That's because the CL in salt (salt is NaCL) is more attracted to the positive battery pin than the oxygen in H2O is. You will even smell the chlorine, smells like pool water. Chlorine is sometimes used for cleaning surfaces and killing bacteria (e.g. in pool water) but inhaling it as a free gas is quite unhealthy, you should avoid that (during the first world war it was used as a weapon, that's how unhealthy it is).

[@mattmarzula]

"Pure" or deionized water isn't going to carry a charge necessary for electrolysis and the amount of chlorine released would be negligible.

[@xcoder1122]

@@mattmarzula Deionized water is what all commercial electrolysis uses when producing hydrogen and that's also what submarines use when producing oxygen (as chlorine would kill everyone on board in the long run, so the sea water is purified first using reverse osmosis). In water, oxygen is slightly negatively charged and hydrogen is slightly positively charged, that's because two of the oxygen electrons move towards the hydrogen atoms (this is forming the bond that makes H and O stick together in the first place) and this charge makes water a dipole, which is the reason why water behaves the way it does as a liquid. You can read all of that in full detail, just open Wikipedia and lookup water and electrolysis. Nobody does electrolysis on salty water, unless you want to retrieve chlorine, e.g. for sterilization.

[@xcoder1122]

@@graemewindley1614 Maybe were you live. Were I live, it isn't, unless the drinking water is contaminated with bacteria (which it normally isn't, since bacteria cannot find food in clean water). But the amounts used even in that case are tiny (a sip of pool water has more than a whole bottle of it) and then they share that online, on radio and TV and advise against drinking the water without boiling it first. And if you boil chlorinated water, the chlorine escapes immediately.

We did all these in the early 1960s in High School. But, we were much smarter, then. Not like the drug addled kids of today. I built an electric motor in 1959 from scrap parts. Used that motor to drive a Van DeGraff generator I built in 1960. Kids today are stupid and smoking pot. Because of my grades and college entrance exam scores, the NSA hired me right out of High School and sent me to MIT. At 22, I was head of Electronics Maintenance & Repair at an NSA spy site. I am well over 70 and still have people calling me to work for them.

Great video. With an explanation, it would have been a superb one. Potassium nitrate used to be called saltpetre. With charcoal and sulphur, it made up gunpowder. It is a strong oxiddising agent. Concentrated sulphuruc acid is grredy for water, and the reaction generates great amounts of heat. With sugar, which is a carbohydrate, it absorbs the water leaving just the carbon. The water turns to steam creating that carbon serpent full of steam bubbles. And so onn. Not hard, is it?

A few of these have been plot points in the original MacGyver tv series. In the pilot episode he stopped an acid leak from a storage tank by cramming in candy bars which reacted to form a sticky residue just the same as with the sugar cubes and the sulphuric acid solution. He also did the powder explosion trick using fine ground pepper and a match (this video was the first time I saw anyone take a mouthful of the powder to blow at the flame though)

[@cdpond]

Yup. Pretty much any carbon based substance that can be ground into a powder is going to combust readily, and potentially explosively, under the right conditions and an adequate air supply. Grain elevators had explosions. Thermal power plants used coal ground to powder consistency, generating better btu output than natural gas as a fuel source. Powder it, aerate it, and ignite it. lol

[@KevinDondrea]

MacGyver left things out of the dangerous ones but they didn't realize Mr Science gave us some of the missing pieces in the 70s. 😁 One of my favorite MacGyver tricks is the one where he walked through the dangerous snakes by pouring Kerosene down his pant legs.
