This feels illegal

*I propose to make a metal-air battery in the next video, the essence of which is to dissolve metal in order to generate electricity. It is necessary to place in an alkali solution (usually sodium, we also call it “mole”), the sheet of aluminium foil up as the first electrode of the battery, and graphite in the second, the latter must be gas-permeable, for this you need to glue activated carbon to a stainless steel mesh with glue. The finished battery provides approximately 0.8-1 volt voltage per cell and a current of up to 25 mA per square centimeter of electrode; the capacity of such batteries can exceed the capacity of lithium-ion samples by 2-3 times. P.S. I hope I win a printer, although I have never won anything in such competitions..* Tomatoes are disgusting!

Video idea: "Jet Engine that runs on Nitroglycerin". I'm not sure if this can work but ur next project should definitely use nitroglycerin, its so fun LMAO, I'm not a rocket scientist, you sure seem like you are hahaha. Keep up the fun videos Integza

I love how this channel has evolved. It went from small 3d prints that would routinely melt. To building confidence in metalworking, to chemistry. Flawless

Hey integza, as a chemist, please dont put explosives in dangerous containers, i would reccomend a plastic syringe next time, or a very weak dropper. Explosives danger increases with their containers strength and fragmentation possibility. As for the video idea, as you are venturing into explosives, maybe you can try to make some interesting solid fuel rocket propellants? With different ratios of additives or primary oxidizers and fuel, maybe even a nitroglycerin rocket, where it is dissolved in a flammable liquid, with a stabiliser and a slower burning oxidiser. Would be dope!

That scene in breaking bad wasn't nitroglycerine, it was mercury fulminate. You can make pretty much any heavy metal into a high explosive it's very fun.

Your Nitroglycerin is "wet" you can tell by the cloudy color of the NG. This can be fixed by by using a desiccant to absorb the water from the NG, this will result in more brisance and higher purity.

To go along with the theme of this video, back in highschool, the first week of school, my chemistry teacher made a substance called ammonium iodide, that he would flick along the steps by his classroom, all the juniors and seniors would line the side of the steps so everyone had to walk so they could enjoy the show. Apparently once it's dry, it's so sensitive that a feather was suppose to be able to set it off, that being said, I've never seen the feather test, only enjoyed the freaked out faces of lower classmen startled by invisible snap and pops that they stepped on. Have fun!

Video idea "DIY mini rocket launcher from household items". Bonus if it uses nitroglycerin ahahaha. No idea if this is remotely feasible, but well, I'm no rocket scientist, we leave the rockets to you! Keep up the good work Joel :)

7:02 - the way amateur chemists lose fingers. Explosion can spread to the syringe. I had an incident with 100mg of stuff, the sausage experiment describes it well. Nevertheless, I'm glad that you demystify this topic.

Video idea: How about a video on the science behind fireworks? Exploring how they’re made, the chemistry for colors, and safety tips. Could be a blast! Maybe mix in a little nitroglycerin now that it’s laying around, or take what you learn and make some colorful throwing popits!!!

Video idea: Load a gun cartridge with nitroglycerin and test if you can ignite it with the primer cap or if the hammer action is enough.

I am literally having a brain wave rn, I had no idea nitroglycerin was that simple to make lmao. That is kinda scary, because I have worked with both nitric acid and sulphuric acid in large quantities in the past. Who knew I was a single chemical that exists in all the first aid kits in my house, away from detonating. This is a good TSA not to nitrate glycerol.

Video idea: building a small scale wind tunnel and fundamentals of aerodynamics. Love your videos :D

Video idea "What about a transparent solid rocket engine? I've always wanted to see how that process goes. And I know if there's someone out there who can make it it's the borderline crazy (scientist?) engineer Integza"

Nitroglycerin works really well for miniature ball-bearing cannon. I made one when I was 15 and I was able to launch ball-bearings across a football field. It was hugely entertaining to play games experimenting with angles and accuracy. Simple get a narrow metal tube. Cap one end of the tube. Soak a cotton ball in cold nitroglycerin. Gently insert the cotton ball into the open end of the tube pushing the ball-bearing in after the cotton ball. Once they are at the end of the tube snuggly against the capped end of the tube all you have to do is aim it then smack the cap with a hammer. I made an aiming mount and a spring loaded hammer in case anything went wrong. Always wear ear protection and have a blast feeling like a cannon wizard.

Fun fact: nitroglycerin's impact sensitivity is due to very small micro-bubbles in the liquid that collapse and heat up above the detonation temperature when you hit it. That's why mixing nitroglycerin with straw or diatomaceous Earth makes the more stable dynamite, because they eliminate the micro-bubbles!

Glad I got to watch this before it gets taken down!

Most of the reason for the additional sulfuric acid is the fact that nitrating glycerin is hard. Nitroglycerin, to be more specific; trinitroglycerin needs to have 3 NO3 bonds at the 3 arms of the glycerin. Adding 2 acids together creates a mixed acid. Like how you cannot dissolve gold with any acid at all but a mixture of sulfuric and hydrochloride acid will create a solution of mixed acid that helps each other forming a redox reaction.

Dad use to do stump blasting when was a farmer and as a land developer. Using gelignite his safety procedures leave a lot to be desired. So when cleaning out the shed I found a plastic bag of sweaty gelignite, now that liquid I knew was nitroglycerin so I was worried. Dad said just put in a bucket of water and it brakes down. Next day we berried it. It's true you can get tingling feeling from handling it also from mixing nitropile and diesel. They now coat the nitrate fertiliser so it can't be used in explosives. This was 30 years ago.

Made some nitroglycerin in my room when I was in high school, and I made the mistake of touching a drop with my bare fingers. What ensued after a few minutes was the worst migraine I have ever experienced. It turns out that nitroglycerin is used in medicin as a vasodilator and a side effect is headaches. A fascinating molecule.

I remember finding the basic procedure for making nitroglycerin in an old Encyclopedia as a kid; which shows how old I am. It was something I always wanted to play with just to see how powerful it really is; you just satisfied a 30 year old curiosity. Pretty sure this is exactly what I would do with it if I had some. I love how it looks like its cleaning the vice by blowing away all the dirt and oxides. For real fun, I recall in chemistry class our teacher once put nitroglycerin on the board, wrote down the decomposition products, said "it started as 1 molecule of liquid, now its 6 molecules of gas, what is the pressure change in a fixed volume? (a lot, the answer is a lot)

Great video man! I really enjoyed this!

That was awesome! I have heard about nitroglycerin my whole life and how the early minors would use it somehow in Dynamite. I know it was some combination of acids and glycerin but that definitely was very informative

10/10 youtube tutorial. Very intuitive and easy to follow.

Rocket powered nerf gun with darts filled with nitroglycerin

Excellent, as usual both educational and entertaining!

I love yours vids! so much experiments to do and always it's funny and interesting see someone teaching how he made the entire experiment by his own!

make a rocket powered rc car

I'm 99% convinced you're on some Europol watchlist with this one

Fascinating and Very brave...astonished they allow this stuff. I knew of someone who tried to make this and lost a hand doing it. He has s hook now.

I remember when I was in high school, one evening, there was a distant boom. Long before the internet, it took a couple of days for the story to show up in the newspaper. Turns out, there was a commercial dynamite manufacturer about 35 miles away - they had a large reactor to make the nitroglycerin which is the basis for dynamite, and the story was, one afternoon they “lost control” of the reaction, and the temperature started rising. This was slow enough they had time to sound the alarm and have everyone evacuate, and eventually, the mixture passed the critical temperature, and let go.

A couple of ideas: 1. Nitrating tomato sauce and using it as rocket fuel 2. Mix nitroglycerin (also maybe a little diatomaceous earth for stability as another user said) into 3d printing resin and 3d print rocket stuff.

Video idea: build a solar and water powered rocket engine which splits the water into hydrogen and oxygen using electrolysis using the energy from the solarpanels (but converted to a really high voltage). The H and O is then stored in tanks and after a few hours of the electrolysis you can start the engine and have made a completely "clean" rocket engine!

1:49 I live in Arizona. In the part where I live, we were hitting 119 Fahrenheit/48 Celsius pretty much every afternoon in July and August last summer. This precaution is more necessary than it initially sounds.

This was very cool to watch. It’s good to know things you’re probably never going to use. But skills don’t fade a way.

Love how it slowly cleans the vise

Honestly, you should NEVER do anything as dangerous as eating a raw hot dog.

This was a very good episode, i really enjoy all your videos. Maybe you could do an episode on explosive decompression.

It's been a minitue since I've checked in. It's to good to know you are still up to CRAZY dangerous stuff. You Inspire us all. P.S. Dude look back at that last detonation, the downward force jumbed that (steel?) block up a good 2-3cm. *I'm* surprised that the tile didnt't crack! That's a fair ammount of force in my book!!

Now that you have shown us you are comfortable with handling explosives, it would be cool to see a video comparing different hypergolic fuel mixtures

We made something in high school chemistry that detonated under just the slightest pressure. The teacher splattered little droplets all over the concrete outside the chem lab and we watched students freak out as they walk over it, and it exploded under their feet. Life was different in the 90's

Thank you for the 9.47 well spent minutes ! Keep up good working ! 👍👍👍😄

My suggestion for a future video theme would if there was a way to use the Nitroglycerin in one of your rockets. Maybe the initial ignition for the main propellant, or the initial igniting propellant that starts your rocket skateboard rolling (or launches a vehicle off the ground) before the primary propellant takes over?

I'm a simple man, I'd love to see a Tomato launched via a Nitroglycerin rocket of some sort.

From years with working with things that make really loud booms, you should double up your hearing protection. Wear both earplugs and earmuffs. And get better earmuffs. Once you damage your hearing, it's not coming back. Awesome video. Should have folded a sheet of paper, added the spicy sauce, then tested it next to the tomato.

I really liked the ionic thruster episode and would love to see something taking this even further. is there a way to kick it up a notch such as a design change or perhaps something involving magnetic fields? It feels like it's on the precipice of greatness.

Best video ever integza... Amazing!

In the Netherlands they call your Detonator 3000 a ‘klaphamer’ and it is a tradition to use it at New Year.

"Yup, there's sausage on the lens" Oh Joel, oh Joel. lol. Great video my Portugalian friend.

You can soak cotton balls in what you have left and essentially create cordite which was an early alternative to conventional black powder making a smokeless alternative to early munitions.

Great video. Please test the volatility of nitroglycerin while shaking.

The sulfuric acid is for dehydration. When nitric acid reacts with somthing like glycerine it forms water along with your main product nitroglycerin. The water could slow down the nitration and sulfuric acid deals with that. It also helps to prevent a runaway nitration wich could be dangerous when dealing with explosive material.

Would be interested in seeing a video about nitrating weird things for solid rocket fuel, Charcoal, sawdust, sundried tomato?..... Could you nitrate thermite?

Should revisit this nitroglycerin video with mini structures and do a mini demo series

I love the rocket powered ideas others suggested but , something somewhat safe and that viewers could also do at home would be nice. Maybe a few toys we could make ourselves like a rocket powered plane, train or boat out of cardboard. I really liked the ion thruster vid which is what made me find your channel.

That slow ignition burn makes sense as to why it's used in double base propellants. Slower burn time + bottlenecked chamber = big bark from a barrel.

I remember this from the Jolly Roger Cook Book- if the mixture overheats whilst mixing, you dump the whole lot into the ice bath to prevent it blowing up in your face. Ah, those were the days...

Thanks for the tutorial really helps keep my infant son quiet😊

This is literally the perfect setup for an Integza x NileRed/Blue crossover series!!

*Video Idea: How about building a bike that is powered by a jet-driven flywheel with a clutch? Imagine riding a self-stabilizing bike powered by a rotating disc of fire* :D You could build up quite a bit of momentum, depending on the flywheel mass and then just drive off when it has enough energy stored. I don't know if it works the way I'm imagining, but you could also use the flywheel as a kind of gyroscope to stabilize the bike when it's stationary. So basically you can just get on, engage the clutch, ride off, and the bike will never fall over. YES, I know that's highly inefficient, but since when are we efficient? WE JUST WANNA SEE THE TOMATOES BURN MUHAHAHA ... and have fun doing so :D

i would love to see a integza x colin furze colab where you put jet engines on random things!! dream come true

About time you stepped up, went all in and played around with Triethylborane and Hydrazine 😉

A fascinating nugget of knowledge I did not previously have that I am highly unlikely to ever act on-no matter how much fund it might be to do.

Next video idea: Nitroglycerin-powered engine. It would be sooo amazing

My mum : whatya cooking Me :oh nothing just some nitroglycerin My mom :ok then take care❤

Fun content. You are doing a wonderful job my man. KZfaq is yours.

You should attempt to make a nitroglycerin power rocket! I also lover you content and feel very inspired by you!!

You should make a video covering shaped charges! You cover a number of explosive and detonation related concepts, it would be cool to see some content covering how focusing that energy works.

Make a nitroglycerin powered nerf gun🔥🔥🔥

0:08 the sulphoric acid activates the nitric acid making it nitronium ion. H2SO4 + HNO3 HSO4 - + H2NO3+ H2NO3+ H2O + NO2+ This nitronium ion is highly reactive and reactes with gylcerine making it the product we all love and care.

Awesome video!!!. To give a shot for a future video suggestion for a 3d printer :P , would you be interested on making a Baghdad battery, and how much electricity can it actually produce? Either way awesome content.

the sulphuric acid is a catalyst and helps create the electrophile NO2+ (a level chemistry coming in clutch)

The transition from 3d printing rockets to becoming a chemistry channel is definitely understandable, but still surprises me every time you post a new video

Would you mind doing a video sometime that demonstrates the different ways to weld or solder different types of metal?

That was awesome!!!

You should keep the sulfuric acid in the ice bath as you add the nitric acid (slowly) to keep the solution cool, as the sulfuric acid gets hot as it dehydrates the water in the nitric acid. Most chemists that make nitration solutions will refrigerate their acids the night before they make their nitration solution so they start with the coolest temps possible.

Video idea: Make a self guiding tomato missile with the nitroglycerin

the paper soaked with NG was essentially dynamite if you had a large amount, like even an ounce would be compared to those drops, you would need a blasting range to test it. If you had more like 16 oz, then you can bet it would be a devastating explosion. for a future video, compare the same amount of NG with nitrogen tri-iodide (perhaps on filter paper) (NI3).

I wanted to learn this for tree stump removal and for looking for gold in rocks to split them in half for removal. A must need to know also because you may need to dissolve gold from rocks. Plus, I can make my own heart medication. Either it fixes my own heart or kills me.😢

i think you should try and use very small amounts of nitroglycerin as fuel for an internal combustion engine

You could try making a Shape-Memory Alloy Engine. Is really cool how they work, not with explosions but with their shapes changing.

brother had a friend that had a dad that had lots of tiny nitroglycerin vials at home, I have no idea what he worked with, but they put the vials in model kits like ships or planes and then shot the vial with an air rifle lol

You could make some crazy loud firecrackers with that stuff.

it's actually "precipitate", which means "to fall". As in "precipice" (in Portoguese "precipicio"), a steep or overhanging cliff. Can also mean to put something suddenly in motion, as in precipitating a chain of events.

Future video idea: make a solid fuel filament and extruder rocket. Build a combustion chamber into which you can extrude solid rocket fuel and more for variable engine performance with solid fuels.

I would love to see a video of you creating a unique piece of artwork, (some kind of kinetic art would be awesome or just using a sheet or block of titanium) or even recreating a famous one, but only with titanium, all the wonderful colors it produces when anodized, using any technique, technology(ESPECIALLY LASERS!), fire, electricity, and/or chemistry/chemicals.

I used to work on a mine that used "anfo" to split rock and ledges to process the limestone. That would be a good follow up to this one, as it's a more controllable substance that's powerful enough to be used for industrial processes.

My father was a high school science teacher. He got his first job because his predecessor made a beaker of nitroglycerine and then became afraid. His plan was to put the beaker in the lab sink, then use a stick to tip over the beaker and pour it down the drain. The ensuing explosion blew the sink to pieces, blew a hole in the wall, and damaged most of the room. Then there's the thing that most people don't know/mention: many contaminates cause the nitroglycerine to become very sensitive or explode immediately. It's really bad stuff and why Alfred Nobel had the money to set up the Nobel Prize; he turned unstable nitroglycerine into relatively safe dynamite.

bro has never seen a safety data sheet in his life

I love seeing Gru making weapons to destroy his enemies. Next you should make a hydrogen rocket. And a way to extract hydrogen from water.

You should make a mortar with nitroglycerine. It could launch tomatoes.

You had me at the words “make nitroglycerin”

I liked the video it was informative ty

Integza thank you for giving away a 3d printer every episode for… a while right? At least a year? Amazing. Can you imagine how many creators youve helped inspire? How many you’ve provided the means for them to create? Nice work homie

A Nitroglycerine powered, Orion type rocket, which uses a high temperature electric arc to detonate sequential drops of Nitroglycerine beneath a dome-shaped metal plate. This causes a cycle of shaped explosions, propelling the metal plate & its payload in the opposite direction at a great velocity.

Great video and presentation.

Heres a video idea. Test different kinds of rocket propelent including nitroglycerin and explain how they differ.

Video idea: Make an HHO generator and launch rockets with it EDIT: HHO is Hydrogen and Oxygen, a very powerful gas explosive
