I have a lot of dumb ideas that I think you should know about.
Aluminite (Thermite-Like)
You can get a thermite-like reaction with a fine enough aluminum powder, and whatever other powder your little ❤️ desires.

ladies and gentlemen, a lovely example of the scientific process at work outside of laboratories.
Where do I get taht bracelet
I have no idea how I got here, but this is exactly the kinda shit that original UA-cam was made of. "Hey, I found some neat shit, so I played with it. Here's the video"
Why doesnt this have more views? Great video, i subscribed!
@@olipas2775 Thanks! Not sure. Doesn't quite tickle the algorithm's fancy I guess.
Now that is a beautiful bracelett
Thank you so much all of that! I love it all lol I love seemingly pointless things like this (: great just to mess around sometimes because you can
Send this video to one of the science UA-camrs so they can figure out what’s up.
That unemployed friend on Monday
If you say that out loud it just sounds like an Aussie saying "illuminate"
now mix magnesium shavings in it
@@Enteropy23 It would probably act similar, but maybe be easier to light. Edit: Hey wait a minute, you're ham sandwich guy! I recognize you from your pfp. Good to see you again.
@@FreedomOfDegree great to see you too 👍 keep up the great work man
@@Enteropy23 Yes sir!
2:25 is wwhat i did with your mum
Could you use it for camping
@@margaretadams945 Well, you could, but it takes a blowtorch to light so I think the torch on its own would be a better option.
Science is awesome
reminds me of those toys that spin a loop of string really fast and it does something similar
How to be like you sir Which engineering branch should i choose I love tools and hardware and a garage.life
@@TKInternational76 Well, I'm not technically educated in engineering. My best advice is to just go for it. Don't let other people's opinions dissuade from asking questions, and experimenting. However, one really valuable skill I've pick up is figuring out how to fix things. I'm not sure If you've seen my previous video, but the air compressor in it, I got as a junker. Cleaned it up a little and replaced a gasket and now it works. Fixing things is like a cheat code if you're on a budget.
@@FreedomOfDegree Wow I actually got a reply! And such an insightful one... Thank you😊😊 Did you learn all of this by yourself or did they teach some of it in college? I am 19 and I don't know where to start
@@TKInternational76 I kind of have mixed feelings about college. But having been through it, I can offer you this: Trying to pick the right college is basically impossible. In order to know if a college's program will be good for you, you kind of have to already know the subject you want to study. Because then you'd be able to tell if what they are teaching is valuable. But if you can tell that, then you probably won't learn anything from going to college in the first place. A pretty nasty catch 22. And it's exceptionally hard when you're not exactly sure what you'd want to major in. So first, I'd try and figure out what you would like your focus to be specifically. You mention tools and hardware so it might be worth checking out @ThisOldTony or @StuffMadeHere. These guys regularly work with big tools to make some pretty awesome stuff. Or if that's not what you're into, there are plenty of other engineer types on UA-cam. But once you find the specialization that most interests you, look for places hiring those skills. Try and get in contact with their HR departments and explain to them that you're interested in working with them and would like to know what kind of degree they look for and from where. Hope this helps 🙂
Plaster of Paris has to be heated and dried because it binds water in the crystal structure. It blows itsef out because the water creates a steam explosion ;)
@@Ordog213 I think when it's prepared commercially, it is heated. Though they only take out _most_ of the water.
@@FreedomOfDegree I made some test back when i made the castable thermite and lerned that Plasters has a lot of bound water (from 5-16% per weight) and that it regaines moisture over time ( 1-2% per Month in normal paper bags). The water contend is different from sorce to sorce and it is only constand in branded products.
Given that the finely powdered aluminum ignited and burned on its own, I really wonder how many of the prior reactions with mixtures were just the same, like the dirt, ashes, and flour.
@@johnathancorgan3994 For the ones that produce a flame, I'm inclined to believe that the aluminum is reacting with the materials. I'd wager that the gases that produce the flame are displacing and atmospheric oxygen. For the non-flame bearing reactions, I agree, it's much more debatable. But! I can tell you that mixing the aluminum with these other materials typically makes it easier to ignite. It could be that the other materials simply make more room for air to get inbetween the aluminum particles, but that means that those other materials are still participating in the reaction (like a macro catalyst or something).
@@FreedomOfDegree Seems reasonable. Looking forward to more videos!
@@FreedomOfDegree An easy way to see would be to light it in air but then move into a container filled with a oxygenless atmosphere even if it is just Nitrogen. If it cools down it was either solely reacting with oxygen in air or only slightly reacting with the materials but not enough to sustain the reaction without the heat generated from combustion with the oxygen in the air.
@@dylaanowen That'd be a decent test. Could probably rig up some electric igniter also. Then we could seal the whole thing in an oxygenless environment.
very interesting. You should try aerosolizing the aluminum powder in air and then lighting it on fire to create a thermobaric affect.
That sounds terrifying
@@isaacthedestroyerofstuped7676 Well now I have to try it.
You can add auminum to gelanitized Fuel to make it burn hotter (In flame throwers) or add it to black powder to increase the burning speed and temperature
That is an excellent term
@@LinucNerd Thanks! I just hope that this term will make conversations about aluminum powder easier, and not be drowned out by the specific case of thermite.
interesting results. good luck on clarifying the nomenclature, lord knows usage is a hard trend to break.
@@sinisterthoughts2896 It's worth a shot, and hey, maybe with more exposure we might learn about some real cool uses. I have one in mind already. Stay tuned 😉
3:50 oh wow Did some research on fire distinguishers after that scene. Turns out there are different classes and fillings. Recommended class for metal fires said to be class D. Interesting
@@vakeqoi6966 I just so happened across MrGreenGuy's video about putting out magnesium fires with gasoline while I was making this video. That's how I learned about class D fires. Pretty neat stuff. I thought* a fire was a fire, but it makes sense when putting water on some will make them significantly worse. *Edit: "thought", not "though"
@@FreedomOfDegree "I thought a fire was a fire" nooooo, my friend. I assure you, when firefighters are called out to auto accidents, one of the things they now have to deal with are metal fires from EVs. Lithium is a _very_ angry metal, and once it gets going it's like the eternal fires of hell until it runs out of stuff to combine with. One of the things I absolutely both love and fear about chemistry is that it gives precisely 0 f's about whoever is doing the experiment. Please be careful before you accidently unalive yourself!
@@AsmodeusMictianscary stuff. Gotta educate myself or I might die die like a dumb c*nt trying to put out metal fire with water or something similar
Very cool! I've never thought of doing experiments like this with aluminum powder. I wonder what exotic chems it'll work with? Would you be willing to try a few different chems with aluminum powder if I sent them to you? Thanks for sharing!
@@BackYardScience2000 I'm not sure accepting nondescript chemicals from someone over the internet is the wisest 😬 But, aluminum powder is relatively cheap and available. I got mine from Amazon I think. As long as you think you can do it safely, I'd say why not give it a shot yourself?
Calling Steve Mould
Float a grape in a sink stream of water
@@DeathMarePovCast you know what, I'm convinced.
Something about this makes me think Steve Mould would be interested in this.
"And then I got to thinking." Is what everyone thought before discovering something.
this is the type of shit id get invested in while my friends just sitting there head in his hands just waiting for his bike chain back.
_Chain reaction?_
You can flew a screwdriver like that.
Bro just reinvented Beywheels
@@pyrojack8230 Flywheels were so sick! They could jump an airplane and drive on water!
this is something i discovered when i was like 9! very happy to see someone else discover it.
Now i want to see a longer chain
How'd you make a scale model like that?
plz drain your compressor 😊
Pure unbridled autism.
Hey man! What do our Moms have to do with this? Don’t be talking about my Momma 😂
This is almost a representation of nuclear magnetic forces as muons and gluons spin. Explain the insane resilence of the system maybe?
I’ll remember you for when you blow up👍 idk how you haven’t yet
Look into 'The Mould Effect'
It's all about RPM
Bouncy chain tickled my dopamine receptors, thank you!
Such a perfect ‘old youtube’ kind of video. Thank you for posting.
for safety that chain looks like a motorcycle chain, my chain whitstand some pretty epic forces.... (by epic i mean the strenght is epic for whitstanding those forces of a wheelie, 90% throttle pulls ect)
Good luck picking the shrapnel out of your face! I survived a bearing explosion in the 80s and kept my fingertip. So many rules when using compressed air.
Did the big chain ever hit your fingers when you were spinning it?
Amaz🎉
how did you make the small chain bracelet?
This feels related to the Mould effect to me. Have you seen that one? When people pull a chain out of a jar until the weight of the chain can continue pulling itself from the jar? It arcs in a really interesting way.
Where in Waldoville did you find those pants?
Where did you get the scale model of the chain???
