Hey guys, this is the first of the "shorter" videos that I want to start doing. Ones that are more points of interest and not necessarily an entire project. Let me know what you think and what other things you'd like to see me cover.


Also, I have changed the Patreon scheme back to being "per video", so be sure to re-select your desired tier!


Edit: Waste video will be posted in the next day or so!

Are you still making the waste video?

nilered

Yeah, sorry, i forgot to mention that. I havent made it yet, but i will post it when its done!

very much appreciate the waste processing videos; I have always hated that none of the "fun chemistry" people can do at home never includes steps for proper disposal. Ive had my own issues processing mercury waste to try to preserve my karma; good stuff as always!

Careful with these videos with explosions in them. Youtube is really cranking down on content and you may get strikes. Cody had just that happen to a few recent videos that weren't even really about explosives.

Do you know iPhone has the built-in slow motion feature? Try to use that when dealing with fast reactions. Thanks for your creation.🔸

Hmm cool video that neat that it creates Ozone as well. Scary Mn2O7 with solvents.

Hey NileRed, Cool video. I was thinking about the discrepancy between analine and the ethanol/acetone. Here are a couple observations: 1) Ethanol and acetone resulted in an explosive "pop" and "snap" 2) You mentioned that the analine reaction resulted in more heat These together make me think that the "explosiveness" of the ethanol and acetone has to do with their volatility. Am I right in assuming that analine is less volatile? If that is the case, perhaps the ethanol and acetone are atomizing due to the heat of reaction, resulting in a vapor cloud that expands rapidly thus creating the sound. Analine on the other hand will burn hotter, but does not have the same amount of volitalization. Just my $0.02. Thanks for the cool video!

I am looking foward to seeing the waste video. I have worked with KmnO4 before and plated steel with hot water. I have an Instructable on it. 4 L of Mn2+ waste afterwords.

However it was "Very sensitive" to air exposure after 3 months and epoxy coating etc would not work well but I learned a lot from it.

nilered

Hmm interesting. Do you know which videos he got strikes on? It would suck if I couldn't upload this :/

nilered

I actually have a Samsung S9+ that can do that as well, however, I didnt even think of using it

He got a few videos deleted in the past week or two that were about measuring the speed of sound in air vs. through the ground. The used explosives for that, but was careful to not talk about explosives, detonator etc. He referred to the device as "artificial thunder". It was just a way to generate a loud sound. Still got strikes on them. If you have access to his Patreon stream you can still see the posts but with videos missing, the "thunderground" series.

I see them on his channel though? I actually watched them on his channel and they are still there.

Silviu T

I believe the videos can still be there if marked private. Or maybe he managed to get them reinstated. They weren't accessible yesterday.

My phone (LG V20) has it too, but it doesn't work. When I try to make a slo-mo video with it, I just get a normal video.

I think some of your videos would benefit from a high framerate camera (The mushroom cloud, in this particular case). Maybe even some multispectral imaging. Awesome, nonetheless.

I'm actually quite curious about your ferrofluid. It seems to be better than most DIY ones I've seen on youtube. Probably one of the best is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWH9C__jn2w and some ideas on how to test it against commercial ferrofluid in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fw-PemqRN3A I haven't tried making ferrofluid myself, but if I were to a couple of ideas I've had: 1. instead of magnetite use a "soft" ferrite (soft as far as magnetic properties, not the hardness of the material) pulverized to sub-micron size, 2. coat the particles with a hydrophobic but polar material such as stearic acid or cholesterol, and suspend in an aqueous base containing a non-ionic surfactant such as Triton X-100 or Tween. Step 2 may be technically challenging.

I wrote on the youtube chanel but not sure if you have a chance to read it. Our lab have "expired" chemcals. They should be in good shape but due to cGMP regulations we have to through them away after a certain time. Do you need them? I will give the list.

nilered

Making it properly is EXTREMELY finicky, but I have mostly figured it out. It depends on so many factors, its insane. However, i make it from ferric chloride circuit board etchant and oleic acid. Once i get the whole process locked down, i will of course share all of the details. The basic idea is to make magnetite nanoparticles and them with oleic acid.

Silviu T

Oleic acid? Hm I was one omega-9 double bond off. :D

Hey Nile. What's the song at the end of the video on YouTube? It had a trap beat but was atmospheric too. Thank you.
