Caution for all those wanting to try this out. Make sure your containers are completely clean and dry. The reaction timing can vary greatly if other contaminants or solvents are present. Many of my friends burnt themselves by using dirty or wet containers and the reaction went a lot quicker than expected.
It's hard to actually BUY a phantom last I checked. Even IF you can get one the price is completely insane. Depending on the type of rental you do it can even be pretty expensive.
Just so you know, in truth, if he knows that the substance that he's using is combustible, at all he does not leave them anywhere nearby. Since they are not combustible on their own, he doesn't see any danger to it, which sens there is a brick wall there there really isn't any danger. If you can't deal with the fact that he does this for the knowledge of science, tough chit to U.
Just stick it in a bottle tighten the lid and throw it like those CO2 bombs that everyone makes with Drano crystals and bleach Gatorade bottles are the funnest to watch explode with the Drano mixture because of all the indentations it's fun to watch them turn inside out the Drano Crystal mixture expands slowly so you get to watch all the spots pop out
Did one in a large 2L glass bottle once... we used to use sugar to slow down the reaction time (oil has to soak through the sugar) put the cap on and ran... it made an extremely ... massive house shaking BOOM!.. do not try in enclosed containers at home........
In my experimentation with this (a couple decades ago), it seems that less is more. We were using Gatorade bottles and sealing them and throwing them. A second person poured the brake fluid so the first could cap it quickly, give it a quick shake and throw. The 20oz bottles went as expected, landing on the ground and then popping and burning. The 32oz bottles popped mid-air, raining down the burning clumps much like an artillery White Phosphorus Felt Wedge. (Search UA-cam for videos of the felt wedge WP.)
You should do a comparison of chemical firestarters for survival kits, like the glycerin and potassium permanganate. See which one burns hotter and better with smaller concentrations and if they can serve other purposes like purifying drinking water or what not. Like so he can see if you would like to see that plus any other cool methods to start a survival fire using chemicals.
My hypothesis: Since you need oxygen to make a flame I think that the reaction happen faster in open air because its more oxygen in open air than it's in a glass or bottle. So theoretical if you do the experiment in a closed bottle filled with Co2 the reaction won't happen. Test this in a video
According to the explanation in the video the Chlorine is the oxidizer in the chemical reaction but is not actually what is burning. The reaction between the Chlorine and the Ethylene Glycol is exothermic but is not actually what burns. The flame occurs when the heat build-up in the mixture reaches a point that causes the remaining break fluid and/or the chemicals produced by the reaction to vaporize. This heated vapor then reacts again with the oxygen in the air to produce the flame. As such the oxygen content of the air would be a factor in the ignition but only after the heat of vaporization was reached in the original mixture. So I don't think the oxygen was the reason for the time difference. I would posit that it is possible the stone block the open mixture was placed on was able to store more heat than the plastic or glass containers and thus conserve energy to produce a quicker heat increase. It could also have to do with the way Grant mixed the mixture on the block with his finger which may have produced a more even mixture than the swirl mixing in the containers resulting in more connecting reactions and thus a greater energy build-up.
The problem with this hypothesis is that it is uninformed of organic chemistry. The gas that is ignited is the aldehydes and other products from the chemical breakdown of the polyethylene glycol. These reactions are sped up through the addition of high energy light, such as UV from the sun. If you were to look at the open-air reaction, you will see that it was placed in some dappled light shining through the leaves above it. This was the main contributor as to why the reaction was faster. Not to say it didn't have more oxygen, or a greater surface area, or that the brick was warmer, just that these factors wouldn't increase the reaction time so significantly.
This reaction makes Formaldehyde, Acetaldehyde, and Ethlyene. HrrrPenny is correct, these are what ignite. The reaction WILL happen, as it is independent from oxygen, but could burst the container, and then likely ignite. The flame is not the reaction, but the result of the products of the reaction.
That might be a better way to start an emergency fire in a survival situation instead of matches or those magnesium flint things, although simply carrying a wind-resistant lighter is probably the safest thing.
@@davidesfandiary5935 uh... bro, the chlorine gives off oxygen during the reaction to feed the fire. It can and will go exo in a sealed container. Enough to make a decent explosion for sure and it would definitely do more than just blow the cap off. That's why chemical fires are sometimes left to just burn themselves out. You can't suffocate it with foam or anything. It'll just keep burning under it because it creates its own oxygen and feeds the fire, like a completely self contained "living" fire.
Idea: Put the chlorine and brake fluid inside the bottle again and try to shoot it up like a rocket - I'm sure you can figure out a way to keep the contents inside the bottle for takeoff! :D
Can you take several chemical reactions (Chlorine/brake fluid and baking soda/vinegar and some others) and make bottle rockets/cars and see which flies highest/ goes farthest? Thanks!
What if it's a glass bottle that is laid on it's side, sliding across would take less force than lifting. Could also try the plastic bottle somehow with holes at the bottom and cap on the top to see if the pressure could lift...? Oh the possibilities.
Really? You cant believe the guy in the same video who just took chemicals mixed them in s wine glass held it and let it exo-therm and then played with the chemical residue with no respirator of any kind
I think he uses the wine glass and bottle because it's cheap. He's so well spoken, I know he does multiple takes on each video and sometimes the reaction doesn't look as it should so you gotta clean up and redo it.
I was in a Walmart and saw a pallet of brake fluid right next to a pallet of HTH. I had the manager paged and had to explain spontaneous combustion upon contact.
Hello! If you mix Kalium Permagnat (sorry I don't know exact name of it, its purple powder that colors the water red and is used for cleaning wounds) with brake oil - the liquid used in this video you will cause a HUGE explosion that can melt SOLID ROCKS. But be careful - explosion is almost instant and you will also need sunglasses because of a blinding light. And I am sorry for my bad English.
TonsOBeef it would make it much stronger because the oxygen it burns is already in the brake fluid, and with the cap on the pressure would keep increasing until the bottle explodes in a big fireball
the fuel he used for his smoke bombs is lactose. the reason he uses lactose is because its a relatively cold burning fuel, which allows any dyes to be vaporized, not burned. the issue with a cold burning fuel is, it cant react as well with the oxidizer and therefore reduces speed. in other words, you get either a rocket or a smoke bomb.
The red color is from calcium. If you grind the granules to a fine powder, you might get a faster reaction time. Potassium permagnate, or any strong oxidizer, also works pretty well.
That's interesting that the fumes don't smell like chlorine. Do you think the fumes are toxic? This is one of the reasons I like your use of glycerin and potassium permanganate because the fumes are non toxic.
+Elizabeth Swims according to my friend nurdrage the fumes are not toxic. The Dot 3 brake fluid itself is relatively harmless as well even if you were to drink it. Although that's certainly not recommended :-)
Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" Can you redo the smoke bomb video But this time can you do it so the smoke Can be different colors Example green blue red Etc I would like to see that video
Hey, what about putting the chemicals into a glass bottle, and placing it onto a set of scales, making sure to protect it when the reaction takes place. That way you might be able to see the force its putting out .
This was something we used to start large council fires in my youth group typically as part of a skit in which we convinced the group the break fluid was water and the cup with clorine was kept hidden. leaving many a young man in awe at our "Magic" fires Started with "water". Great memories.
staberas not only that the speaker will probably catch on fire/blowup depending on what kind of speakers. since there aren't any resistance in the circuit the voltage going through the circuit would increase and thus overloading
Liquid chlorine is a lot weaker than granular. Liquid is approximately 30% strength compared to granular that around 60%, then there’s black spot remover 85% that’s near to pure chlorine. The most purest is at gaseous form100%. I’m a pool guy that’s how I know.
@@andylagger551 there are more applications than JUST violence. Great example of the tool not being the problem, it’s the operator using it. I’m looking at this as a fantastic way to start a campfire in the rain.
Till the day I can, I'll watch 1 or 2 of ur videos daily so that UA-cam will have to keep paying ur family. Maybe I'm a cheapo but this is my way of saying " Long Live The King(of random) "
When you put it more out in the open, I honestly wasn't surprised that the reaction didn't take as long. After all, earlier in the video, you said it was a simple combustion reaction. And what do all combustion reactions need? Oxygen. So maybe putting it out in the open allowed more oxygen for the reaction to take place, therefore increasing the speed of the reaction?
Moki it's traditionally made of quarts sand or crushed quarts crystals, sodium carbonate and calcium carbonate or potassium carbonate (the latter makes a more crystaline glas knownas Bohemian crystal (after the German province of Bohemia)
Fascinating chemistry video excellent quality very well done sir keep up the good work. A little safety tip for additional safety measures, as soon as you finish carefully mixing the granular pool chlorine and brake fluid and carefully place the reaction vessel on a suitable non flammable surface remove packaging or containers containing the remaining granular pool chlorine and brake fluid from the area where the reaction is taking place carefully and place them a fairly lengthy distance away from the the reaction vessel and separate the individual packaging or containers containing each individual chemical a fairly lengthy distance away from each other as well for added safety.
So beings calcium hypochlorite is essentially calcified bleach... couldn't you use regular bleach to mix with brake fluid? Only difference there may be in the hypochlorite might be a strong blend in the pool shock as most bleach on the store shelf is 3%-6% by volume and the pool shock may be upwards of 15% ( I'm assuming )
Chris Bergeron I don't believe Sodium Hypochlorite would have the same reaction as Calcium Hypocholorite, As they are essentially completly different things. NaClO =/= Ca(ClO)2
apard7 You have one up on me I use to work for a chemical company that's the only reason I know what hypochlorite is lol guess I'll have to test it and find out

So this guy literally just made a portable firebomb…and showed each of his steps….
@@andylagger551 there are more applications than JUST violence. Great example of the tool not being the problem, it’s the operator using it.
I’m looking at this as a fantastic way to start a campfire in the rain.
what would be the reaction if you used sodium hypochlorite.
Would it be an instant reaction.
I think Grant has a wine glass fetish...
So do i baby :)
Gazzah That sounded wrong *Backs Away*
Thing the public is ready for a king of random book of most awesome experiments
Till the day I can, I'll watch 1 or 2 of ur videos daily so that UA-cam will have to keep paying ur family. Maybe I'm a cheapo but this is my way of saying " Long Live The King(of random) "
"Never put your finger in a reaction mixture - they may ignite."
A second later ... DOES EXACTLY THAT.
I think that was a replay of what he did initially
Would the reaction happen quicker if you made the pool cleaner finer and would the reaction be bigger
Don't try this at home
Just do it in a science fair or in the park
When you put it more out in the open, I honestly wasn't surprised that the reaction didn't take as long. After all, earlier in the video, you said it was a simple combustion reaction. And what do all combustion reactions need? Oxygen. So maybe putting it out in the open allowed more oxygen for the reaction to take place, therefore increasing the speed of the reaction?
Yeah, I was confused when he said that too. Oxygen is the meat and potatoes of any combustion reaction.
hey can you make a giant size pop it. and can it light gasoline
and what would happen when you put gunpowder
Can fire light gasoline is your question?
check out backyard scientist. he's done it and it didn't work
is your metal foundry hot enough to melt sand into glass???????????
samuel latchman Plain old sand doesn't make modern glass, but I believe he has done something like this already.
Kelton Kennedy sand makes scratchy glass crystals. Glass used in the industry is composed of 4 ingredients I think.
Moki it's traditionally made of quarts sand or crushed quarts crystals, sodium carbonate and calcium carbonate or potassium carbonate (the latter makes a more crystaline glas knownas Bohemian crystal (after the German province of Bohemia)
samuel latchman cody's lab did this experiment
I had different plans for today. Now, I'm headed straight to the auto parts store, and pool supply. Other errands can wait!
I wonder... Can you make a Leidenfrost boat that is floating and moving because of liquid nitrogen and travels on your pool for example?
You should see what would happen if you put soda in the water filter
You'd get soda....
Can You make FireWorks From Chlorine
It just gets better and better. Thank You.
Im bringing brake fluid with me next time i go to the pool 😉
DEEJJAAAVUUUUU
Noah Weigert again
I have watched this video before....
Why did he upload it again?????
I have been to this video before, higher in the views - Initial A
dÉja vu bordel
wasn't this already uploaded
rudy davis / it got taken down for some reason
rudy davis it got taken down
Fascinating chemistry video excellent quality very well done sir keep up the good work. A little safety tip for additional safety measures, as soon as you finish carefully mixing the granular pool chlorine and brake fluid and carefully place the reaction vessel on a suitable non flammable surface remove packaging or containers containing the remaining granular pool chlorine and brake fluid from the area where the reaction is taking place carefully and place them a fairly lengthy distance away from the the reaction vessel and separate the individual packaging or containers containing each individual chemical a fairly lengthy distance away from each other as well for added safety.
Can you put a tank full of liquid nitrogen inside a pool and open the lid under water? Wondering how cloudy it would be..
Myrdal Muda I'd like to see that too!
Myrdal Muda that would be so cool
Mystery1989 but the liquid nitrogen will create too much pressure and may explode or pop the confinements of the box or what ever u put it in
Would *
yes do it
what do you think would happen if you mix brake fluid and chlorine and freeze the mixture with liquid nitrogen right after you mix them ??
nerf_me! DO THAT
Cold slows down reactions so it should ether be less violent, or not do anything ti;l iot thaws
It would just slow the molecular breakdown and take longer to ignite
So beings calcium hypochlorite is essentially calcified bleach... couldn't you use regular bleach to mix with brake fluid? Only difference there may be in the hypochlorite might be a strong blend in the pool shock as most bleach on the store shelf is 3%-6% by volume and the pool shock may be upwards of 15% ( I'm assuming )
Chris Bergeron I don't believe Sodium Hypochlorite would have the same reaction as Calcium Hypocholorite, As they are essentially completly different things.
NaClO =/= Ca(ClO)2
apard7 OK Thanks guess that answers my question
Chris Bergeron I mean, It might work, I'm no scientist, Just your average Chem student.
apard7 You have one up on me I use to work for a chemical company that's the only reason I know what hypochlorite is lol guess I'll have to test it and find out
I think it could be an interesting try, also get industrial strength bleach
Rip King your knowledge will forever guide me
grant try making an ice cream rolls machine that any one can make👑
pro vids nighthawkinglight did that with dry ice
Gavin Anderson not everyone can get dry ice. Electric would be best.
basvdelsen ya I was thinking about that but you could just make some with a CO2 fire extinguisher and a pillow case
