I've been really curious to know when would happen, if I put a regular chicken drumstick, into piranha solution. WARNING: Piranha solution is EXTREMELY dangerous. It can even be explosive when mixed with the wrong things, and can shred just about anything organic. It was handled properly in a controlled environment. Please do not attempt this. #shorts ..read more

For this video, I'm just going to be making chemical fireflies, which is something that I always find fun. To do this, all I need is some ammonium dichromate, and I just need to pour some into a dish, and light it on fire. #shorts ..read more

Whatever's in here is extremely radioactive, and it's worse than when I tested nearly pure uranium. Inside it doesn't actually look very scary, and it's just some small pieces of metal. These are just watch dials, but that they've been covered in paint that contains radium. Radium is an extremely radioactive element, and pure radium is way more radioactive than uranium. #shorts ..read more

A few months ago I bought a dry ice maker, which was pretty much just a denim sock, strapped to a CO2 tank. I really wanted a nice block of it though, so I bought a different tool thing to make it. It looks a lot more complicated than a fancy sock, but it also doesn't seem too crazy. I quickly skimmed the instructions, and the only warning, was to keep the pressure really low, so I guess I'll just go ahead and try it out. #shorts ..read more

Ok, so today I'm going to try to turn some lead into gold. The first step is to get a few pieces of lead, and to add some dilute nitric acid. What I have to do next is get a beaker, and add some boiling water, and a small amount of potassium iodide. This all dissolves really quickly, and on top of this, I'll add a bit of vinegar, and that little lead solution from before. Now all I need to do is turn off the stirring, and basically just wait. Ingredients: 1) 0.5g lead metal + 50:50 nitric acid:water 2) 500mL water, 1g potassium iodide, 5% vinegar 3) Profit? #shorts ..read more

In my opinion, the iodine clock reaction kind of looks like magic. To make it, the first thing I need is a mixture of cornstarch (just a bit), and some boiling water. #shorts ..read more

A few years ago I got this little ampoule with this little piece of metal inside of it, and I was really excited because this little piece of metal is actually pure uranium. Ever since then I've always wanted to free the uranium, and I've randomly decided that today is the day to crack it open, but I have to be careful. This is because once the uranium is exposed to air it reacts to form small particles of radioactive uranium oxide, which are really dangerous and not good to breathe in. #shorts ..read more

Cesium metal is very similar to sodium or potassium, but it's even more reactive. It's kept in this glass ampule to protect it from air, and having it break open, could be really dangerous. WARNING: Cesium is extremely reactive and dangerous. The sample was exhibited in a controlled environment. Serious injury can occur if handled improperly. #shorts ..read more

In this video, I want to see what happens when I put my hand in a solution of hot ice (sodium acetate). #shorts ..read more

I've been wanting to try something for a while now, and to do it, I'm gonna need some high proof alcohol and some sodium polyacrylate. When mixed together in the right way with water, the polyacrylate is able to absorb all the alcohol, and become an extremely flammable powder. I have to throw the fireball quickly because it feels like it's going to burn me, but it's worth it because it makes me feel super cool. WARNING: DON'T TRY THIS. This mixture is extremely flammable and dangerous. Serious injury can occur if handled improperly. #shorts ..read more
