Nile talks about lab safety: • Chemistry is dangerous.
“Humans can heal but expensive recording equipment cannot”, wow I don’t remember seeing that in the highschool lab safety packet.
You might have missed something then, my teachers are pretty pissy about their science beakers
when he said that I was actually really weirded out to hear someone else than me saying that lol, never had before and I say it at least once a week when for example my boyfriend has a huge jerky movement after touching something moderately hot (he overreacts sometimes) and almost throws what he's holding on the table and I'm like "humans heal, our kitchen table we just got cannot" I mean Nile took it to the next level though xD
When your chemistry lab team causes 100$ worth of damages to lab equipment because you're all dumbasses
@@radiomandelbrot5868 it's typical gay guys... slightest bit of a scare or a jump and everything flies through the room... so i heard, of course ;) except you aren't a dude and you didn't mean "boyfriend" in your comment... in that case i said nothing
Its something you start to hear when budgets are more important than safety. The other side of that coin is that equipment can be replaced and humans cannot.
The only difference between goofing around and science is documentation.
Documentation.... AND doing it multiple times (repeatability)
Thinking about what you're doing helps
And data analysis. If you have any quantitative stuff involved there's gonna be a wild ride with calculating uncertainty.

I was the thousandth like on this comment
The lack of practical engineering chemistry guys have makes me smile. Like, yeah, I'll never be able to synthesize acetaminophen, but I know if I cut out a piece of insulation, that piece is a perfect template for the replacement.
I felt the same about his lack of cooking knowledge when he was making the cotton ball cotton candy. Yes I could never do that but I know to make the fine fluffy texture he wanted you have to start with finely ground sugar, not a big clump.
I mean engineering is all about making stuff _just_ work, for as little money as possible right? He used a craft knife and some white shit he had laying around and successfuly made a video. I'd call that engineering.
Well, I’m a chemist and wondered why he didn’t use the piece he just cut out as a template for the new piece too, so not all chemists are as challenged when it comes to common sense.
I thought the same at first... but then I thought that maybe he did it because the isolating wool is flexible (and you need it to be a little bit larger than the space it fills, in order to fill even into the small gaps - and not leaving any unfilled)
that's not engineering that's just being precise for something that doesn't need it.

i call that just pure luck

@@rachaelbrown3656 So true. Last session of the day and my Chemistry teacher (“The Doc”) and the Physics teacher were bouncing ideas off of each other on how to conduct an experiment that was set for the Year 12 Physics class. They then disappeared and came back with some alligator clips attached to a light globe, a voltmeter, a battery pack, and some holding support that contained a small fan of sorts. Not sure if that’s all correct, but they were making a circuit that was capable of producing blinding photons of light, where they reached something like 16V and the fan-thing spun off and hit the board behind them, as this massive crack was heard from the light being produced. I honestly can’t wait to be able to just mess around and experiment under the guise of Science! Applied Chemistry sounds so fun, especially when my teacher isn’t a cranky, stuck-up Doctor who has better expectation for us and gets to mess around himself :)

It's a fume hood. It's got fans on the top and massive filters and recirculates the air so the air flow goes down at the opening forming a curtain of air and goes up in the back so the bits go away from you. There is a clear plexi door that comes down but I've never seen him close it.

I think the temperature of the metal when you actually pour it could be making a large difference. it could be allowing a stronger leidenfrost effect to occur (or potentially too strong) meaning the water doesnt touch the metal until it hits the bottom and cools off a bit.
Hypothesis: nilered and Nileblue are not the same person, but instead twins

@@nathanpfirman625 Oh. My. God.
NileBlue makes me feel like he learned all this yesterday. NileRed makes me feel like he’s the only professional in the subject.
I don't see him wearing a filtered mask for the Alumina(?) dust, and 1/3rd through the video it seems obvious that the plexiglass isn't going to shield him when he pours it, they also haven't taped down the wires. He doesn't clean up the toxic dust before going to the next stage of the project, and he doesn't keep track of his materials like his gloves, leaving him to leave the active area and search for it, then he discards it to the floor. I mean, I haven't done any chemistry, but these all seem like, pretty obvious hazards and dangerous failings that are all reasonably easy to address? Like his lab methodology seens really bad :(
One other possible explanation could be that the water on the second attempt was cold and freshly poured, whereas the first attempt had been sitting there for a while and was probably at room temperature
@@aster_nova Do you not see the fume hoods?
@@watermelon4man408 The dust is pretty close to the edge, are you sure it would be picked up by the fume hood? 🤔🤔
@@aster_nova There's definitely a difference between the dust you see laying on the surface, which is big and kinda clumped together, and the dust that the fume hood collects. So when something (like wind or them accidentally touching) disturbs the dust on the surface it will give off tiny little dust particles into the air. (Compare it to the dust laying under your couch and the dust that comes out of the couch cushions if you hit it) Those will be sucked up by the fume hood without problems. The "bigger" dust won't and thats okay, because them breathing wouldn't pick it up either. But in general I'd like to note that he knows what he is doing. He wore the gloves, long sleeves and glasses. If he or his friends really saw a major hazard in what they're doing, they would have adressed it.
I love NileRed’s slammy nature lol I wouldn’t want to *experience* it, cause I’m too easily startled/sensitive to that kind of chaos energy, but boy is it enjoyable to watch from afar hahah

As a chemistry student, this is the most accurate depiction of chemistry I've ever seen.
If you can get into R+D in a smallish semiconductor company you can pretty much do this, plus oh so much more as your job. Your intent isn’t to blow things up but it will happen, and it will be spectacular. Huge quartz tubes turning into powered sugar, phosphorus explosions, letting the smoke out, having unconfined plasmas.....
You should also subscribe to projectfarm. He is an awesome example of applying scientific principles to testing everyday items. It’s good knowledge to have to be flexible to any question you might be presented. I forgot to mention semiconductors also provides access to the entire range of cutting edge analysis. SEM’s are everywhere for anyone to use, TEM, xrf, spectroscopy, gcms, ms, SIMS, SRP.........

Honestly, I’m not a professional but you can’t stop me from taking the proper safety procedures and trying
15:01 - Those are the impurities in the metals, when melting down any metals, the stuff that's not metal burns up and floats. It's usually skimmed off to keep the pour as pure as possible, usually if your making ingots or pouring a mold of some kind.
Also called dross or slag. Using a flux like borax can help pull the impurities out as well.
Great video! Pyrometallurgy is my favorite. I "grained" precious metals for a few years on a large scale and the constant explosions were hard to deal with. Our solution to calm it down a little bit was to get our water moving with pressure washers / high pressure inlet-outlet lines, and to have the water VERY cold. We played around with different alloy mixes as well, but didn't ever have any solid results. As far as why it happened to us, we assumed it had something to do with the copper content of the alloy, the amount of slag and impurities in our materials, and the Leidenfrost effect creating those steam pockets beneath the solidifying metal. We once poured a little too quickly and launched a stainless steel tank with 150 gallons of water well over a foot off the concrete!
I love how on the First channel he's like "I'm not recording and continuing until I get this specific gloves to protect me from specifically this and I'll not use my crucible and Heater if theres a single deformation or weird color". but in here hes like "Yo Fam this Fucking Heater could explode if i use it 40.2873 seconds specifically and My gloves are now flammable because of the acid on it, anyways, let's Add Molten Metal on gunpowder."

As a metalsmith/jeweler, next time just use the torch to melt the metal and toss in a bit of boric acid to combat oxidation, actually coat a small crucible with boric acid (pour in a little powder and melt it with the torch to make a glassy coating) then you can melt the metal with the torch but always add a bit of extra boric acid, and they make special stir rods for stirring the molten metal. Yes, the glass exploded due to thermal shock. It's not lab grade glassware and isn't heat safe. Always wear long heavy sleeves and preferably leather or thick suede (NOT MICROSUEDE) closed toe shoes when handling molten metal. Standard mesh athletic shoes will melt like butter under molten copper or brass and you don't want to lose a toe! Y'all should be glad you couldn't see my face during this video...
The crucibles you are currently using are good for silver, gold and aluminum. Copper likes to eat through the crucibles you are currently using. If you plan to melt any other metals like copper or iron you need to use graphite clay crucibles. You should constantly check on the copper because. The longer you leave it exposed to the high heat the higher chance you have all your metal oxidizing. You should use copper or aluminum instead of the tin. Because they're melting temperature is much higher than the tin’s.
the point of the tin/bronze was to have a lower melting point.
@@marshmellominiapple The higher temperature difference between the metal and the water(and glass maybe since the metal touching the bottom was a requirement) adds to the explosion.

Hello, metal worker for 25 years here. The explosion actually has to do with the refractive index of both the molten metal and the glass, when touch metal kasploodge!
Hello, engineer here with a minor in physical chemistry. The explosion is actually caused by the molten material initially creating a bed of superheated steam holding the water away, then when something triggers the steam pocket to collapse (usually a splash near the surface but also hitting the bottom) this causes a sudden unsheathing disrupting the organized flow of the molten material. Once it is turbulent more energy is then transfered to the water which spontaneously superheats and then explodes. Also, it's clear you don't have a clue about what you're talking about, the refraction index of a medium is the ratio of the speed of light when in vacuum to it's speed in that medium.
Chemistry go Kaboom
@@drwat3rmelon655 more like thermodynamics go kaboom
Yes, clearly the speed of light in a substance is what is making this explode /s

Awesome video man! I think your completely right about the height and velocity making the difference. I believe that was definitely a proof of hypothesis. Only repeat experiments would solidify it. I think the velocity plays a key factor in when it explodes. When molten metal is submerged in water it vaporizes it instantly creating a chamber of water vapor around the molten metal. (Reference: leidenfrost effect) With the leidenfrost effect comes a pressure differential. When this pressure differential is contained...(by surrounding water) well then the pressure will continue to build until something gives. Water is incompressible so the molten metal implodes and breaks from a lump into crumbs that cool much faster and stop the leidenfrost effect, almost instantly, and then transferring all of the energy, built by pressure, back into the incompressable water only to meet the strength of the container it's in. This, of course, being the glass jar it was in. The energy has to go somewhere and you figured out how to time it just right to make it detonate at the bottom of the jar and blow it up. You ARE a mad scientist. Lol
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Another theory comment. thank you and Great theory
My favourite part of this is: "We can glue it back together" *Smashing Sound* "Oh No"
This guy's age is a mystery. He looks like he belongs in a high school but at the same time he looks too old to be twenty. And his voice sounds like he's in his 20's.
He's born September 7, 1991
Hes a couple months younger than my bf????? :O
@@lwolfstar7618 boy friend or best friend?
@@galacticweb well, both kinda lol
@@LeapoMeapo huh? He's my best friend of several years and my boyfriend of a few months. Wasn't a flex, I was asked 🤷♀️
I love how when the crucible fails Nile just goes "that's infuriating" in the most nonchalant tone possible
Thats the type of anger you cant even express
@@admiralspyro9722 Nonchalant isn't exactly an uncommon word. Like telling someone "great use of awesome"
@@admiralspyro9722 great use of example 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
We are talking about the same guy that once said, halfway through an experiment: "Come to think of it, I find rocket launches quite boring. I don't know why I decided to do this..."
1000th like!
Really like your videos on both of your Channel Nile! This videos reminds me of the experiment where you hold a test tube filled with boiling wax into water. Our Students (and we as teachers) love this simple but effective experiment. You probably already know about that experiment. It is entertaining, but I havent seen your take on it (maybe I need to check more videos of yours! :X) I'm looking forward for your next videos and keep up the good work! Greetings from germany! 😄
Nigel, You got such a great smile! it’s a pleasure watching you do your stuff..
Nileblue's casual videos are honestly just as entertaining as your more professional ones one Nilered!
They might even be better tbh
Even more actually
I think I like neilblue more tbh
Tbh i like nileblue aswell better than nilered but i still like both
Well i think the ones on Nilered arent ment for entertainment.
Red sounds like he was discoverer of everything he does on his channel. Blue just read one manual from the first page of google
yea but who goes to the 2nd page

You might also want to measure the temp right before pouring it in. That is a variable that can be harder to control, but will have a lot do with the explosion
FINALLY A THEORY!!!!!!!!! it was difficult to find among all the fangirl or fanwomen and fan men comments. lol
nileblue is what I fall asleep to. Pure chaos to start the next day right.
Nile: why do I keep losing things? Also Nile: *throws everything*
"I swear, if this falls over... I guess I'd just have to fix it again."
I think it’s nice they always have so much fun making videos together.
Hey that was a great video, it was cool to just see you having fun in the lab yet still doing science!
Last Video: Chemistry is Dangerous This Video:
1224ChrisNg this video: let’s do it again! But with footage!
Example A
But this is metallurgy, ergo it's 100% safe
Last video: chemistry is dangerous This video: Nile is dangerous
@@tetra2277 Nile is dangerous, there are crocodiles and shit
“I constantly lose everything” 12:51 *just throws the glove somewhere on the floor*
i imagine he picked it up right after. what i think is more noteworthy is the fact that he has like 50 drawers in that room alone
NileBlue is me and my best buddy when we were kids in outback Australia discovering the fun that came from his dad's blow torch and metals
Other variables: How high you poured it from. Maybe pouring from higher gives it more velocity, allowing it to get the bottom faster. Maybe pouring from lower gives it less time to cool, allowing to remain hotter for longer (potentially maintaining the bubble for longer, before it cools enough to collapse, allowing water to touch the metal and explode). Maybe small differences in temperature make a big difference. Maybe higher heat maintains the bubble for longer, allowing it to get further down before exploding. Also, gold is denser than tin and has around half the specific heat (meaning it takes about twice as much thermal energy for gold to reach the same heat, ie., gold has much more thermal energy at the same temperature as tin), so maybe the gold worked better because it took longer to cool sufficiently for the bubble to collapse , which gave it more time to reach the bottom. (Also, when the water _does_ touch the gold, there's still significantly more energy to transfer, in theory producing a more violent result.) Those are my thoughts. Nice experiment and good video!
"So what's the game plan?" "Fail like the last time, except intentionally, minus deleting the footage."
"We can glue it back together" *SMASH*
“Oh nooo :D”
He should've at least filmed with the high-speed camera the smashing of the crucible...
i died at that bit lmao, i just wish it was on camera
NileRed: Professional Chemist NileBlue: Silly Gewse
Where have you been all my life? I am in love with this entire team making these masterpieces 🔥🔥🔥
"Are we aborting missing?" "Nah, the mission is still good..." This is how most disaster movies start.
Yeah bro, Cautionary Tales taught me all about that Plan Continuation bias
*mission
Just like we have to abort 2020.
It's probably not a problem
Thats how the explozion from cernobil started
I hate how casually and precisely he destroys the crucible with the hammer
Really? I think it’s funny
it was already useless since it had a crack in it, why not let it go with a bang?
lol have you not see the glass video
He’s the evil one.
It's so damn glorious lol, he's so chaotic
