Explosions&Fire - 2020-03-27
All safety documents say to never mix sodium and solvents like dichloromethane. Why is that? Who is Staudinger and what's he warning us against? We misuse and craft carcinogens to find out.

2:01 I remember watching that and seeing the det cable running out of the tub clearly in shot, did they think we wouldn't notice?
@Luis P. and there we agree
Is that peterscraps In th-

Tonoight on Bo'om geah
Hammond misinforms an entire generation
@ProCactus wow.
Cactus is trying to say that any video of francium explosions are fake because it's impossible to actually get enough francium together for any time due to low half life.
Luis is trying to say that francium/water reactions are just less energy intensive than caesium or other reactions.
Neither of you were wrong about the science. Both of you are angry idiots.
@John Morrell yay angry idiots
"God bless the 1960's"
That's my entire book report after reading "Ignition: An informal history to liquid rocket propellants"
@Peter Schluss-mit-Lustig You forget the Nuclear light-bulb. Or Project Orion. 3000 Isp is nothing to sneeze at, 'course that's moving off into the realm of nuclear propulsion rather than chemical.
@Donald Duck to be fair. lithium is really not that bad.
@Viesturs Siliņš As a solid yeah its not too bad. AS a liquid that's required for rocked fuel, I hope you enjoy corroded corrosion
@Aquatarkus I would not keep it liquid in my thermos, but it is better than fluorine, I ment.
Yes!
Tri-propellant research and fluorine lol
Why not just tape the capsule to your hammer next time? 10/10 hit everytime.
@Explosions&Fire Maybe craft two plates on a hinge under tension by a spring so that they slam together like a mouse trap.
@Explosions&Fire ask some of the crazy metalworkers on youtube AvE etc. they will build you a testmachine
Nothing like rediscovering improvements you you've already done before lol
Am I insane it looks like the one after the 0/10 hit he had it stuck to the sledge it wasn't there prior to the hammer coming down and remained on it for several strikes. Yet everyone here's talking like it never happened is it some editing gap I'm missing here?
Don't underestimate his ability to fuck it up! 🤣🤣🤣J/K. Probably 😉
YES IT’S TIME FOR THE YEARLY UPLOAD
I think this comment is single handedly motivating him to make more videos
@old school honour and respect. In WW2 it was a common field kit for OSS operatives . It was nicknamed a prison wallet when maps were concealed in 3 operatives who infiltrated Stalag Luft III to help facilitate the mass escape plan.
Yearly upload les goooooo
Happy anniversary chaps
And today it's time for the yearly re-watch.
The my little pony reference brought back a lot of terrible, terrible memories
@Ma Max And thus God created element 9
@Joseph Vanas just dropping this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHQ6Ns1ndaI
@brian janssen oh shit! The madman actually did it. Last I remember seeing him in a thread was some time around early to mid 2015 iirc. Godspeed anon, godspeed.
I agree many bad memories
There's a guy with a biden jar on /pol)
"Kosher salt"
I can't believe this turned into an episode of Binging with Babish
Mmmmmm..... Delicious! I'd sip.
Babish uses up 10x more plastic gloves while cooking than this guy does when handling acids and making explosives.
Tbf 99% of the time they are much more important for the chef.

@A technical shitpost so you dont get it back?
@seibt yee no
@A technical shitpost thats unfair how much was that stuff worth?
@seibt yeearound $700
@A technical shitpost that sucks :(
8:26 I do speak German, and I find it hilarious how unsafe those experiments must have been: "[...] there was a very violent explosion under tremendous detonation, only luck keeping one of us from being damaged."
Real chemists don't get injured, they get damaged!
(btw, in German "st" at the start of a word is pronounced like "sht"... aka just pretend you're Sean Connery)
@Evi1M4chine bro that's pretty E D G Y
@Evi1M4chine Fine, but if you continue being such a dick, then I am not going to attend your funeral.
@Evi1M4chine Not psychopathy, just scientific papers.
@Evi1M4chine this got edgy really quickly :o
German Wikipedia is the best in the World!!!!!!!!
-Van Strohheim
This youtube channel is why I am now doing a chemistry degree, and lets just say that I have not regretted it after seeing the following:
- Someone pouring dry ice and acetone down a sink and hearing a "boom"
- Someone pouring dry ice and acetone into the chlorinated waste bin basket filled with some carcinogens
- Someone pouring LiALH4 into acetenaline (I think) and then running away as it started smoking
Living the dream mate
same mate as soon as I'm out of quarantine gonna get myself a chem degree
totally not GonNa Be UnEmPloYed WitHin 4 YrS but hey its fun
@Evi1M4chine Evi1M4chine don't be triggered, but imho nascar is boring 😅 (to watch at least). I know you need lots of skill and endurance, but compared to wrc rally und the isle of man it is just boring to look at imho.😅 Are you American?
You all have a nice day and dont get bored by quarantine.
@Evi1M4chine " Like the crashes at Nascar, it’s really the only reason to do it."
Like the crashes at NASCAR, nobody's died since 2001...
@Michael Free RIP Dale
"That's right - GERMAN Wikipedia"
Am German, can confirm. My organics professor always said: "The mechanism is simple, if you're not sure, just look it up on Wikipedia"
@Evi1M4chine As a long time Wikipedia author, I can confirm your description.
@Evi1M4chine Ah, so.. just like English Wikipedia then.
It's a glorious topic. Like, in school whenever the topic of wikipedia comes up it's like "Don't ever use it, it's not a reliable source, anyone can edit it whenever they feel like it...." (which obviously isn't quite accurate) and this year at university I've got a paper to write in history and I kid you not, the document regarding all the formalities for a paper on ancient history is basically like "Yeah, and there's always wikipedia. I mean, you shouldn't use it as a direct source, but, you know... still pretty useful.." several times. I just love how schools teach that wikipedia is just about as trustworthy as your average Trump speech whereas at University you get outright recommended it...
Darthplagueis13 because anything before uni is too basic to use Wikipedia for
It's almost like pre uni school is for prep and learning how to learn and or how to take orders from someone who chose continued learning as they are not innate skills or something.
It wouldn't be an Explosions&Fire video without Tom making a reference to the sixties now would it?
Wouldn't be an Explosions&Fire without the sixties
@Explosions&Fire indeed
God bless the 1960s.

at the dock we call the ocean "the blue bin"
"ah, nature's other bin" - me, not saying that
If I recall, Blue bins are for recycling.
@Guy Tech bruh
i really like milk
I liek chocolate milk
milg 🤤
What kind of milk? Coconut, Almond, rice, soy, breast (my favorite), buffalo, milk of magnesium.
Same
Same
lol i just upped my patreon tier because "the atmosphere is natures bin"
Everytime he hammered it, I could feel the cancerous CCl4 fumes hitting my nostrils🤢
Ah yes, 20th century germany. The pinacle of exposive and toxic chemistry.
@Tyler Hendrix More like "I WANT IN!"
Not the pinnacle, no. 21st century Germany (and specifically Klapötke in Munich) is reaching new heights of explosive insanity.
The Atmosphere is nature's bin. F-ing hilarious.
"The solution to pollution is dilution."
The the OP: you need to consider the environmental fate of whatever compound is being released. Will it decompose into something harmless? Will it sit there and do nothing? Will it bioaccumulate? Will it end up in air? Water? Sediment? Also the toxicity is important. If something has very low toxicity and doesn’t accumulate then it’s risk to the environment is minimal whereas if you have something very toxic and/or accumulates then that can be a major problem.
Take DDT in large predatory birds for example. Accumulates up the food chain and has greater toxic effects as it accumulates more.
It is the same with homeopathy: It is the solution (survival of the fittest/people with brain) to pollution (stupid people) by dilution.😂😂
The sky is nature's bin, remember? Just dump it all into the atmosphere, I'm sure it'll all be alright.
To be fair, he destroyed a lot of carbon tet, more than he released.
GAY RACIST FROGS
With content like this I'm not surprised to see you've "blown up😉" over these past months, keep at it my friend! Your editing is amazing!
Thanks! And yes, nearly at 100K subscribers, crazy times
NOAA: "So a new ozone hole opened opened up over Australia" "where?".....
My boy is back! Hell yeah, let's learn some incoherent chemistry!
"my little pony figerine in bottom of every jar"
I see you're a man of culture as well
This is exactly what I wanted to try within the next days! There where some german papers in which it was written, that sodium and chloroform do always explode, so I was curious.
Btw there had been a demonstration at german universities, which translates as "Coulombic Bomb". First you hit the potassium with a hammer to flatten it out and making it stick to the hammer. Then you add carbon tetrachloride to the anvil and hit it with the hammer.
Nice and entertaining video as usual! :)
This seems to be a very weirdly regional experiment. All the info on it comes out of Germany, and all the demos of it were only done in Germany or surrounding areas. Maybe one of those pre WWII things that didn't get picked up by English literature, who knows.
But yeah, I think it's still worth doing, especially the sodium and chloroform.
There's a thought I have that maybe my chloroform reacted that way because it was in sunlight? Like the redness and quick tarring up seems like a radical thing, no doubt brought on by the sodium but maybe UV kicks it off quicker??
@Explosions&Fire I would guess the colored product is due to the formation of complexer molecules and radicals. It could be possible that the reaction begins similar to a Grignard or Wurtz reaction (look for "Grignard reagent"/"Wurtz reaction" on Wiki). There you'll see the "Single electron transfer" and once you've got radicals in there a lot of bonds could be formed in a runaway, which produces a lot of heat. The "Wurtz reaction" is similar to Grignard, but with sodium.
@Random Experiments Int. - Experiments and syntheses will sodium pull the chlorine atom off of loperamide? Will loperamide cross the bbb if the chlorine atom is removed?
I know nothing about chemistry but i really enjoy your sense of humor... i mean shitposting
Yes, I remember when Brianiac LIED to me. I almost completely gave up on science. Then I realised I should just give up on Brianiac instead, and then I did. Very unfortunate (for them).
"But you do get a free MLP figurine at the bottom of every jar"
Oh dear go why did he just reference that...
"it was setting fire to the atmosphere, and also setting fire to people's livers." calm, bouncy piano plays in the background
Who all is excited for the next video, Australian Tries To Pronounce More German Names
"In einer starken Bombe..." yup sounds like our breed of scientist :'D
That my little pony jar comment was like being hit by a truck
This is the best thing I have ever watched.
I love your channel, nearly pissed myself for laughing at the squad-moments! Really, your editing is the best entertainment i've had in days :D
Don't change for nobody, mate!
That perfect 6 minute craft was so satisfying, it blasted my very soul out of my body and turned me into a ginger. Thanks for making me soulless!
We have cardboard boxes full of CCl4 bottles in my lab, though i’ve never used it myself. Guess Russia just doesn’t give a fck about neither cancer nor environment, lul.
Yeah because it stores really well (not a high vapour pressure, doesn't decompose) if you have a few bottles and don't use them, in a few decades time you will still have a few bottles. So even if no-one is manufacturing it, plenty of labs have bottles of it lying around
No, it’s literally new bottles, that are being used and shipped again. It is good solvent for very reactive and highly-energetic compounds
@Quartization oh lol nice, I guess some people really still use it. I mean, it is known that Asia still uses it. China release like 20,000 tons of carbon tet into the atmosphere each year. 20,000 tons. Even though it's phased out. So don't feel bad about your bottles haha. Source: www.livescience.com/amp/63953-china-using-banned-ozone-substance.html
@Quartization if there's any cool energetic reactions to do with carbon tet that I can do, feel free to suggest them lol, I have 950ml of it and I don't know what to do with it
@Explosions&Fire Did you just say
ml ?!
Real chemists use dm3
/s
10:47 "Journal of Hazardous Materials" if that isn't the most German news outlet ever I don't know what is.
"Add a few pinches of kosher salt"
This is not the Binging with Babish crossover I was expecting.
When he said “I love you hammer” I felt that
I my chem class (Germany) it exploded just by dropping it in. Maybe we discovered a time zone dependent reaction.
It's a weirdly German reaction? Like, all the research on it is from Germany, and it's done as a lecture demo in Germany, but no-one else has heard of it, pretty interesting
@Explosions&Fire Have you tried liquid NaK? I believe we did.
@Anticonny no I didn't, but yes the data from the recent paper shows that using NaK makes it very very sensitive! I guess I should have tried that
Maybe we could use that to figure out what's actually Germany. /s
The best reaction.
Only works properly in Germany.
I think this is my favorite video from you so far! Thanks for cheering me up
"The atmosphere is nature's bin" I laughed way too hard at that!
This video provided the laughs I have so very much needed the past month. Hope you and yours are well, Thom.
"I'm Richard Hammle and this is my Blast Lab!"
"but you do get a free my little pony figurine at the bottom of every jar" my dude, just no.
W4t3rf1r3 someone took MLP figurines, put them in a jar, and filled the jar with cum, if im remembering this right
@ayy lmao wait how do you accidentally cook a jar with hell 2 in it
@Luis P. Hell 1 tried to get rid of it cause it was to disgusting?
@Luis P. Put it on the radiator by accident
@Eric true
BTW: if you ever need a German translator, I can do it.
Old German Chemistry books are fun:
tasting chemicals
distilling Äther (ether) over open flames
etc.
Ich würde sie als einfallsreich beschreiben
@joost spohler Post WWII, Germans had quite some disregard for safety, maybe even their own life. It manifests in their unsafe instructions. But, yes, they were a creative bunch. Even today, there´s Angewandte Chemie, even though it´s no longer in German. Psychology, engineering, etc. all have German loan words and the Japanese were total fanboys of Germans so much so that even today like every 3rd anime has German words in it or references German culture or folklore.
Just imagine that in the 1950s it was easier to find a Japanese speaking German than English! Similarly, if we go back a little further, Sissi used English whenever she wanted to make sure that spies around her should not understand her! Slovenian, Hungarian, old Greek, you name it, were all more commonly understood than English!
@joost spohler ihnen war einfach langweilig und sie hatten solch interessante dinge einfach rumliegen
2 tage später hatten sie O2F2 destilliert
@edi well they are smart enough to not use chlorine trifloride in flame throwers
@raaston I think that it was intended for bombs, not flame throwers, but they couldn't store it securely...
ahh yes, an aqueous pond, my favorite
I've been waiting for your video!! Thank you so much for your content. It makes life easier.
Just wanted to say i love your channel. I think chemistry is amazing, even though im a mechanical engineer. Keep it up man!!!
loved all of your content, way to make chemistry interesting. you should do a video on thermate
"stay indoors", truer words have never been said.
