    • I think that that experiment was a bit misleading actually, since it wasn't a demonstration of just "using enough energy" to go past the activation energy. If it's enough energy you need, why not simply increase the intensity of the red light? If you took a red light bulb with a high enough wattage (the brightness would increase, but the colour is the same) it should go off as well, shouldn't it? It's more energy after all. A concentrated beam of read light should do the trick as well (so just a red laser pointer for example). But it wouldn't. What's the deciding factor is the wavelenght. The shorter the wavelenght, the higher the energy of the photons. The higher the intensity of the light (bulb with higher wattage, or more concentrated beam of light), the higher the overall energy of the macroscopic beam. The detonation that's dependent on a short enough wavelenght and conversely photons with high enough energy, is an example of quantum physics. It doesn't matter how strong the intensity of the light is, the energy of the macroscopic beam. What matters is the the energy of the microscopic light particles, the photons.

    • @@franzmeier4472 I wonder if a high powered red or green laser would set off the chlorine and hydrogen mixture - they used a slide projector. Lasers pack more photons into the same beam profile. I've used mine (stupidly) to set off flash powder at a reasonable distance from the laser.

      @dash8brj@dash8brj5 жыл бұрын
    • It’s all about the energy per photon. If you don’t have enough, then no number of lower-energy photons can produce the same effect. Unless, of course, you have such an intense beam that a given molecule in the target can get hit by two photons at precisely the same time so their energies can add together.. Some high-powered lasers can do that with very short pulses but your laser pointer almost certainly can’t. Sorry.

  • That was just great. A very well presented lecture using a well-chosen set of examples, e.g. not just "a series of things that went bang" but a lot of different *kinds* of bangs, each illustrating a slightly different set of physical principles and really getting the audience to think about the material. I know that I was left with a series of questions, such as "I've never even heard of Silane. Why *is* it pyrophoric, anyway?" so of course I had to go look that up and now I have even *more* questions, which of course is the goal of all good science, right? :) As a former (very young) chemistry student myself, I'd love it if we taught this kind of material in American schools again.

    • I worked in the semiconductor industry in the 80s, and Silane was used to deposit pure silicon on existing silicon substrate, and by introducing impurities you can make P or N type materials to create printed transistors on a silicon wafer. Silicon is very stable, and wants to just be silicon... making Silane extremely unstable, and the simple presence of oxygen is enough to cause combustion, and a smoke of fine sand will be produced by that reaction. An even more frightening compound is Arsane, where the central atom is Arsenic. The white smoke of that spontaneous combustion is every bit as lethal as it sounds. This is another dangerous gas that was used at the time in doping silicon for semiconductors. We had to helium vacuum check the plumbing used to carry dangerous gases including these and phosphine (a gas that is toxic at levels of 5-10 PPM.) Needless to say, gas leaks from these substances are to be avoided at all costs.

  • I experienced a physics lecture where there was some liquid nitrogen in an old school thermos bottle. One of the students absent mindlessly screwed the lid onto the thermos. The physics teacher saw this, went OMG and tried to unscrew the lid, which neatly unscrewed the mercury glass bottle from the metal base, but didn't budge the lid. He pelted to his tiny, crammed office next door to the classroom and left at speed, closing the door after him. Shortly there was a "poof" noise. The glass container and its mercury disintegrated into an incredibly fine dust over every surface of his office. It was a heck of a mess to clean up. Today it would have required hazmat suits, but back then we just used rubber gloves and shop towels.

These were presented to college students in chemistry, engineering and physics classes, so we included a nice amount of very technical detail during the demos. Naturally, the explosive demos effectively reduced very intelligent science students to children in awe - these demos, when well done, are always fun to watch...

  • Nice to see a class taught by a real expert with an enthusiasm for what he is teaching, rather than the clueless teaching assistants (aka mums who took the job because it fits in with the hours they need, and got the job because they are cheaper than time served qualified teachers) that have infested my childs school.

  • What a wonderful series of chemistry lectures. Would be so wonderful if they were available and used when I was in high school an undergraduate school late 1950s to the middle 1960s.

  • This is lovely, elegant but old stuff. It actually is possible to make, rather than burn, oxygen as ozone with a bang only -without heat, flames, smoke or light.

  • Great, that was really wonderful. Lots of great support from the technicians too who, if they get the same as school science technicians, about £6.15 per hour. End slave labour in school science.

  • There was a great episode of the sitcom; The Brittas Empire where (neatly fitted into the script) Colin (the Janitor) disposed a large quantity of unwanted Potassium Chlorate weedkiller in the bin, to be followed by a similar amount of spoiled sugar from the kitchen. You can imagine what happened next. It's always lovely to see children (and indeed parents) being taught science via such lectures.

    • +ElTurbinado It really just depends on your teacher, because at times we would hear that the other science teacher for our grade had done a cool experiment, and we would never do it. or our teacher would, and the other class never did. Some teachers really like to have a fun class, and have a hands on example, like for almost no reason what-so-ever, my bio teacher took us outside and put some potassium in water.

  • We did some of this on a minor scale in 1960, can you imagine a science teacher blowing things up in a ninth-grade class today? His class was so good, I used a free period the next year to take it again. This time I sat at the back of the classroom to dodge the dust and such. We had such amazing instruments then. A teacher one never forgets.
