AKA "Saturns Tree" or the "Tree of Saturn", it is a well known, but often forgotten demonstration. It is very easy to do at home, but you must be carefull.. Lead is very poisonous!

Anti-Dihydroxylation: Theory, Mechanism, Examples, and Biological Applications

The video explores the concept of reaction pathways in industrial manufacturing. The speaker explains that a range of different ways can be used to make a product and these are called reaction pathways. The video highlights various...

Upon viewing the Investigating Chemical Reactions video series, students will be able to do the following: Define a chemical reaction as a process in which substances undergo changes to produce new materials with different properties....

This video provides an overview of reaction profiles, explaining the concepts of exothermic and endothermic reactions, as well as activation energy. The presenter defines each of these terms, provides examples of each type of reaction,...

This video explains the concept of reversible chemical reactions. It starts by introducing reversible reactions and providing an example of the reaction between ammonium chloride, ammonia, and hydrogen chloride. The video then explains...

How to Make an Aluminum Foundry - It was about time to make this video!<br/>

Copper chloride acts as a catalyst decomposing the hydrogen peroxide. May also form copper oxychloride copper I oxide, and copper I chloride

I show how to make the marquis reagent from formaldehyde and sulfuric acid, and preform tests on modifinil, promethazine, tizanidine, ritilin (methylphenidate), acetominiphen, and aspirin.

This video explains the three main types of reactions that metals undergo: reactions with oxygen, reactions with acids, and reactions with water. The video provides word equations and examples of each type of reaction and notes any...

Making Petrified Lightning ...with electricity??

Hey guys, in this video I show you how I built my microwave gun, also known as a HERF gun. I take a magnetron out of the oven and connect it to a waveguide. The results were more than I expected!



FIRST- Microwaves are...

In this video we make electric matches to safely detonate our experiments.

You should aim for a 95-5% ratio of your propellent to nitrocellulose (pingpong ba
l
ls).

A pingpong ball weighs 2g, so use about 50g of powder....

The torch is self-igniting, meaning it has an electric sparker built in. When the button is pressed halfway, the torch mixes a perfect combination of propane and air into the tube. When the button is fully pressed the torch sparks...

I thought it would be fun to film propane balloons exploding in slow motion, and I tried popping them a bunch of different ways. I took some user suggestions like flying a drone with a sparkler attached into a balloon, and...

I made a freeze ray! Im basically a bonafide evil genius now. Freeze your cat, girlfriend, or flowers, the possibilities are endless..! wait no, thats about it.

Some notes about the
gun:
There are commercial liquid nitrogen...

My new foundry is made from:

Insulating fire
brick
High Temperat
ure mortar
Bio-Soluble
Ceramic Blanket
I highly recommend looking for a HWI distribution center near you. They sell to individuals, and because they...

Engineering Expo 2K16 (Science Show)

FerredoxinNADP+ Oxidoreductase (Photosynthesis Part 6)

This video discusses the efficiency of chemical reactions and the concept of atom economy, which is a method of measuring how efficiently a reaction uses the atoms from the reactants. The speaker provides examples and calculations to...

Using two blocks of dry ice, Prof Hal Sosabowski demonstrates how magnesium is so reactive that it can cause carbon dioxide to act as an oxidant. The result is a beautiful instense glow inside the blocks. This experiment is one of the...

Making decisions can be pretty hard, but imagining trying to do it without a brain!

Molten Metal Squirtgun!

Underwater explosions using Dry Ice, and Liquid Nitrogen, and captured in high definition slow motion.



Hey guys, Backyard Scientist here. I this video I throw water bottles filled with dry ice, and liquid nitrogen...
