Anhydrous hydrazine is a chemical compound with powerful reactive properties that make it an essential component in various industries, including aerospace and medicine. It is commonly used as a high-energy fuel in rocket propulsion, due to its ability to produce large amounts of energy through exothermic reactions. However, anhydrous hydrazine is also highly toxic and flammable, making it extremely dangerous to handle and use. In this video, we will explore the unique characteristics of anhydrous hydrazine, its uses and applications, and the precautions that must be taken when working with this powerful but potentially hazardous chemical. So, be careful when handling anhydrous hydrazine and always follow proper safety protocols. 0:00 Intro 0:45 Anhydrous hydrazine and oxygen 1:27 Anhydrous hydrazine and ozonated oxygen 1:53 Anhydrous hydrazine and Nitrous oxide 4:02 Just Me :D 4:26 Anhydrous hydrazine and Chromyl chloride 6:25 Liquid nitrogen dioxide presentation 6:54 Hypergolic reaction between Hydrazine and Dinitrogen tetroxide 12:24 Phenylhydrazine and Dinitrogen tetroxide (hypergolic reaction) 13:59 Osmium tetroxide presentation 15:32 Anhydrous hidrazine and Osmium tetroxide! 16:40 Vanadium oxytrichloride presentation 17:33 Anhydrous hidrazine and Vanadium oxytrichloride 19:46 Anhydrous hidrazine and liquid chlorine 22:04 Anhydrous hidrazine and bromine 23:04 Anhydrous hidrazine and Cobalt trifluoride 24:39 Anhydrous hidrazine and Iodine pentoxide 25:53 A Big thanks to my dear patrons and donors! ❤❤❤ ❤️ 💛 💚 If you enjoy what I do and would like to help me to create unique chemical content please support me on Patreon 🥺 __________ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ChemicalForce PayPal: @chemicalforce Revolut: @chemicalforce __________ crypto: BTC: 1828WxhTtqohRiQBHgKtdqrmxsGncsjva2Ethereum ❤️ 💛 💚
The type of chemicals described in chemistry handbooks, just as a curiosity. Thank you for building a great visual encyclopedia of chemical weirdness.
Since I've not seen anyone in the comments recommend it yet, I thoroughly endorse "IGNITION! An Informal History of Liquid Rocket Propellants" by John D. Clark, for anyone interested in the history of Hydrazine and it's substituted variations as hypergolic rocket fuels.
Plus one on that recommendation! It's a lot of fun.
Its a great book but I still think its comment on chlorine triflouride is the best part.
Read it a couple months ago during a train trip, thoroughly enjoyable!
As someone who is interested in all the sciences including chemistry, but who hasn't studied chemistry.... that book was very hard to follow. It would help to have a higher understanding of chemistry. Just an FYI for anyone else, still recommended though!
Pretty sure that it's at position #1 on the Required Reading list for any fool who's interested in energetic chemistry, rocketry, or just Space Stuff generally. So much fundamental knowledge, and so charmingly and amusingly presented.
I'm seeking recommendations for any other books about chemistry that have the same irreverant spark about them, @ me if you've got something. Cheers! :)
As a aircraft mechanic on F-16 I worked with H-70 (70% Hydrazine, 30% water) for years. We're always told of its toxicity and that just smelling it was over the exposure limit. This was an awesome video to see just how it reacts to other chemicals.
Thanks for the video.
I’m watching this video because I just got some on my hand today working on the EPU… oops
@ericlightner1832 Thank you for your service. From a former USAF SOWT / AFSPECWAR SR guy. It was really fun to watch someone do these little experiments in this video. One might be surprised how many of these chemicals are used in various types of shape charges, particularly used for things like busting doors open.
Why would that be part of the job description? As a son of a man who was a fuel truck driver ( I do not remember what the MOS was called in the 1990s and I know according to an acquaintance who did that, more recently it's called something different now) in the Army, I can see the small possibility of someone with his MOS being tasked with transporting the stuff, but a maintainer?
Sooo smelling it is death?
I worked for Lonza, the only manufacturer of hydrazine. It’s used for a rocket propellant primarily for satellite repositioning in space and aircraft ejection seats. It is the most highly compressible fluid with the advantageous effects known to man. Hence, it can be contained in a small space, limiting space and weight.
Exotic, dangerous, and utterly impressive.
Keep up the great work!
He is a Artist too. Please tell him that.
6:12....birth of black hole.....👀
You would be nominated for (and probably win) a Nobel prize for chemical reaction photography, if they had one. Thanks for all the incredible footage!
Nobel prize cringe. He deserves better.
Eh, if anything he should talk to someone like the Slow Mo Guys and he could record in hundreds of thousands frames a second and you actually get a good view of the reaction happening
As a photographer, I couldn’t agree more. This guy has captured cinematic lightning in a bottle as far as I’m concerned on a number of instances. I only wish he could actually be recognized for it, or at least have a couple million subscribers like he at the very least deserves.
@@SilvaDreamsalso a slow mo collab would be the only way to increase the artistic quality of some of these reactions. Genius
RIP thousands of watch glasses
I think this is your best video yet. It’s amazing to watch your channel over the years. I’m now just weeks away from finishing my PhD in chemistry - I’ve been watching for years and still find your videos amazing.
same
, just start phd
I cant imagine what a laborious process it must have been cleaning up after each one of these reactions. Thank you for doing this. Very educational.
Your access to rare and dangerous chemicals never ceases to amaze me. I’m always coming back to see what you’re getting into next! ❤
He is definitely on some government list....
I would be very interested in seeing a video about what kinds of lab safety equipment you have and what precautions you take when filming reactions like these. You work with so many horrifically toxic and explosive compounds and I think that a very interesting (and important) part of working with those compounds is how to not die while working with them.
watching the various compounds combining in slo-mo really brings to light some of the intermolecular forces that are unfolding. Goes to show how important the physical aspects of each reactant are in forming a reaction. For example, the N204 is not particularly soluble with the hydrazine and despite them being extremely reactive, it takes a sec for them to overcome each others repulsions
That video is so nice quality overall.
Nitric acid and devils poison will react hard too, I think those have used in some rockets too..
"it takes a sec for them to overcome each others repulsions"
Now you know how my wife and I feel about each other.
Literally no one:
ChemicalForce: pours liquid OsO4 into hydrazine.
I love it.
These reactions and your video footages are absolutely sublime, but why are you no longer showing the equations? You used to do this, and I don't understand why you stopped.
It feels like he stopped doing the equations about the time he got and started using his slow mo camera. I have no direct evidence for that, but having watched the videos since before he got it; that is what it seems like to me.
When he heated dry ice, that was definitely sublime!
The hell are you talking about there's equations throughout the video.
The bromine reaction is very satisfying to watch - love how the gasses rise in a mostly uniform bubble that gets more chaotic as the hydrazine spreads out!
every time I think Feliks can't up the ante, he goes and does it. absolutely incredible, as always. your videos never cease to leave me speechless.
I'm surprised this channel hasn't hit 1 million subscribers yet. It comprises every reactions that are mentioned in my textbook 🤩 thanks a lot
Badass! Great video. Also that beard microphone attachment is still genius.
I had to look several times. 😀
@@Waiting_To_Retire Me too, it is mesmerising.
Дякую за дуже якісне та яскраве відео!! Ви справжній майстер своєї справи!!!
I work at a place that makes hydrazine, cool to see someone playing with it the way I wish I could.
Is it true that you can also make it with NaOH, Bleach, and a Urea solution?
The Bromine and Hidrazine slow motion reaction was probably my favorite. I love how you have taken the cool parts of chemistry and turned it into a visual artistic experience.
your mic positioning cracked me up! I can't believe nobody (i've seen) has done that before.. It makes a surprising amount of sense.
Oh.. and super cool footage as always!! you rock dude!
I really should watch the whole thing before commenting, but let me add that you should totally colab with the @theslowmoguys for the super fast explosions (like hydrazine and OsO4) .
I bet they'd jump on the new thing (I can't remember them ever recording stuff like you do)
The quality of this is amazing. Can't believe we got this all in one video
The clips around 6:00!! Beautiful work, ChemicalForce, thank you for capturing this.
Another use of Hydrazine is in the emergency power unit of the F-16 fighter jet.
H70 (70/30 mix of hydrazine and water) is decomposed using a catalyst (I believe iridium or platinum), and the gas from the decomposing H70 is used to spin a turbine powering an electric generator and hydraulic pump.
The EPU is installed in case the F-16 engine, the electrical generators or hydraulic pumps fail in flight. the H70 gives 10 minutes of emergency power for the pilot to restart the engine or find a safe place to land/eject.
Slowmo was sooo satisfying to watch, thank you for the effort taken!
I loved the OsO4 reaction! Keep up the great work!!!
Some of the most stunning chemistry I have ever seen. Thank you.
THE BANGER IS OUT! Cannot wait to watch it.Can't thank you enough for making these videos.
I just love the amount of quality and information this guy puts in each video.
For the OsO4-Hydrazine reaction we are gonna need "The Slow-mo guys" Wow!
Also great idea to clip the mic in your beard.
I could watch this all day. Not sure it gets old.
Enthralling as always. One of the best and most underrated channels on YouTube..
Chemical reactions like this are so beautiful, and fascinating. Thank you for these experiments, and keep up the amazing work! Also, that microphone placement is spot on
The chemistry is most interesting, but I was also very impressed by the sound track, especially the synchronisation with the detonations!
Magnificent footage. Nice work!
Incredible video! Thank you so much for share this amazing work! Some really gorgeous and exotic reaction. The oxygen rain lighting up on its way down and the little flame balls bouncing off the hydrazine is some of the most beautiful footage I've ever seen! I love this so much :) absolutely fantastic video!
2:36 That looks so much cooler than I would have ever expected.
Hydrazine compounds, specifically UDMH are my favorite chemicals in the world.
Reading Ignition! by John Drury Clark when I was a child really stuck with me.
Beautiful slow motion video. And each reaction so different from another!
The quality of these videos are amazing!
What a masterpiece, another beautiful video !
This channel just keeps getting better and better
That slow-mo hydrazine + NO2 reaction… just WOW 😯
If anyone was gonna make a video with actual hydrazine, it must be you. Thanks for existing.
Incredible footage of these reactions
Some of the coolest footage I’ve seen ever.
the n2o reaction is just stunning
This channel has the most cinematic chemistry videos... A perfect harmony of science and audio visual art
So satisfying. Thank you.

In the 1960’s a group of us high school students experimented with rockets and propellant. We were able to get several liters of dimethyl hydrazine and experimented with it and LOX as well as several varieties of nitrous oxides that yielded hypergalic reactions. The latter were too unstable to be safe even in our young opinions. Eventually our faculty supervisor alerted the air force to what we planned and we were visited by the Air Force. They agreed to fly out liquid fused rocket and share the resulting data with us. The hydrazine-LOX rocket worked better than our estimates and flew at White Sands NM. We never saw the rocket again though.
