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 ❤

[@philippefatouros6267]

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

[@TheKingofRandom]

Very glad I could provide!

[@elif.9695]

I agree.

[@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

[@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 ❤️

[@Chemanic1]

Great video as always!👍

[@simbachand]

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

[@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.

[@citojones8142]

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

[@nickymarlowe5191]

Love the video keep up the good work

[@natemalnaa1]

Day 77 asking TKOR to make a giant cap gun 😎

[@cokemillion]

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

[@SteelCurrent]

Independent Variable: What you make the rocket fuel with Dependent Variable: How the two types of fuel works Controlled Variable: The rockets

[@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?

[@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!

[@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!

[@TheKingofRandom]

Welcome back to the random party! 🤠 So glad you are back and enjoyed the video! - Grace

[@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.

[@dsunsparky8668]

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

[@The_PolishCow]

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

[@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?

[@llam8394]

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

[@brucejacobs4026]

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

[@pompersuf5214]

Everytime someone leaves rhis channel i feel empty and i cant continue to watch anymore

[@xemnior]

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

[@mandarin1257]

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

[@sarabolinski8305]

OMG I LOVE THOSE GLASSES

[@alosha4321]

Nice to see another rocket fuel vid. Last one i saw was with grant. Rip

[@kylehewitt7]

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

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

[@notfiction9241]

Really looking forward to seeing it in a rocket.

[@dhausmig]

Try candy hearts with different oxidizers. Loved this one.

[@TheKingofRandom]

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

[@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

[@user-dr1bj1bq2e]

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

[@ok4todd]

Great Job, 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.

[@dovgertz288]

can you do a painting with colored home grown crystals

[@MrBean5268]

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

[@shawndughmansr.7578]

I'm glad to see the channel coming back

[@TheKingofRandom]

Thank you for watching! You all keep me motivated to keep exploring, learning about the world and making awesome content to enjoy! - Grace

[@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

[@magicsasafras3414]

Ay rocket fuel. Now this is my speed.

[@TheKingofRandom]

It's my speed too! - 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.

[@blazer4.077]

Yes I want to see the new rocket fuel in action

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?

[@gogo311]

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

[@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.

[@Tech_481]

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

[@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

[@lairdwaller4285]

what molar sulphuric acid did you use?

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@TAU_KING]

Miss the old team

[@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.

[@ninjatrm1]

5:25 this must be that gray sugar pukicho was talking about

[@Gagglewarrior]

You should make your own challenge

[@itzcaseykc]

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

[@leebremel9713]

What is the chemical makeup of candy hearts and can you get a temperature reading from a candy hear tburn. Which burns hotter powdered sugar or candy hearts

[@westonding8953]

Would love to see it as a rocket!

The suger is cleaner burning which means more efficient

[@Linus-nq2op]

The only thing KMnO4 has to do with KNO3 is that it’s an oxidizing agent. KMnO4 is way more reactive than KNO3, but it has less oxygen available.

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