I can answer that for you. It basically didn't work very well if at all. The propeller they picked was designed for air, and I'm sure didn't really work at all in the water. Additionally, they didn't do any flow calculations or fluid mechanical design on their boat, so getting a hydrofoil to work was basically a total guess. And unfortunately, that's not easy to do. This means they need more iterations of trial and error to get something working before they can make a video about it.
This is the best Real information that I have found on RUclips. Thank you for providing a Real education Chanel. You are a Real Educator who loves what they do.
Hahaha, this Is delightful. Yesterday, the guy from Explosions&Fire made a post about (I think)hosting some professional explosives chemists on his channel. I made a comical comment casting doubt on the "experts" by proxy of the fact that they probably rarely hit small bits of explosives wrapped in aluminliliunm foil with a hammer, and even if they did they would probably "forget" to bring their hammers. And then, hahaha, there's your thumbnail! You sir, never fail to exceed stringent expectations.
I'm on it! And I gotta say, you'd be amazed how much a hammer is a standard tool in energetic labs. You'd think they'd have some other fancier way of initially testing things but no, they genuinely hit things with hammers as a first initial pass. ...at least in the professional energetic labs I've been in (The Germans probably have some decide from the future to do it)
@@ExplosionsAndFire Nothing wrong with a little qualitative percussion analysis. Though, being of the mechanical sort, I'd have some misgivings about testing with a hard-faced hammer like that framing model. Very brittle surface that tends to fire off razor-sharp shards sideways if it does break... and that's not even explosives, that's just using one to hit another piece of hardened steel. Easy fix, just find a hammer specifically made to hit chisels and other hardened struck tooling. Probably easier to hit with as well.
Dvaid Petr I'm pretty sure I made a mistake. Extractions&Ire channel had some PhD chemist discussion episode, and I thought you were one of them. Check out his channels, also Explosions & Fire.

You can buy ammonium nitrate by itself pretty cheap. I occasionally sprinkled some ammonium nitrate beads on my rose bushes along with phosphorus rich processed food waste, caffeinated coffee and tea bags. I also had various means of supplying micronutrients but, my roses were beautiful and I miss tending to them. 😔
"They use ANFO for target practice" Well, that's the most American thing i've heard this week: "Let's just shoot half a kilo of high explosive with rifles, that way we don't have to walk to check if we hit the target"
There are some practical applications but they're very niche not to mention the space to safely and permits detonate it. Demolition for example although professionals have access to higher grade materials anyways.
one guy stuffed his old lawn mower with Tannerite, shot it, the explosion propelled the cutting blade which hit him, severed an artery and the guy died.
While i can't see any day to day applications for this information in my immediate surroundings (sighs of relief all round!), i enjoy the opportunity to learn about it!
After watching your hydrogen video where you were talking about shaped charges I wanted to try it for mysel. I tried some of the exploding targets, but their detonation velocity is too slow. Well wouldnt you know I ended up with a gallon of the same nitromethane. I tried using the fiberglass hardener and an exploding wire to test small 1ml amounts but never got it to work.
Sure. You need a pretty high velocity explosive. I'm not sure even our 4km/sec compressed oxygen/hydrogen will be successful. How much energy did you apply to the wire? When we film the large detonations, I'll spend a fair amount of the video going through the exploding wire set up, it's kinda demanding electronically because it has to be VERY fast. Oh, and thanks for watching. We should get together at some point and do something, it'd be a blast!
You should read-up on the "Monroe-Effect", if you want to learn about shaped charges. I have Blast-Formed metals using that technique (and the RPG's of today use the same principle!).
This guy really knows his stuff and the theory as well. Those of us that are involved in research know this. Safety is very important however something that needs to be considered at all levels and mostly gained by experience. Most accidents are caused by a lack of knowledge and experience, poor preparation, taking short cuts and just poor judgment. People with experience understand the chemistry, they have spent hundreds of hours cross referencing videos with published material and other sources. This this one of the best videos that has been on RUclips for some time. The rest in the main are kids trying to show off, trying to make compositions that the experts all agree are unsafe. People trying to be too clever for their own good and these are usually the ones that get into trouble and give the rest of us a bad name and are somewhat responsible for never ending licensing requirements. Thumbs up for this guy and an extremely well prepared video with excellent theory and sensible demonstrations.
Utterly fascinating. As a lifelong "pyro" I am always interested in the subject - actually back in the 80's got my shotfirers certification and learned a lot about numerous aspects. I still recall making my first NI3 back in the school lab - to the amusement of my peers and dismay of the chemy lecturer! 'Tannerite' has long been fun out on the range :) Keep up the great work and thank you.
I hope people watching this and thinking of playing around have noticed the fire extinguisher in the back; this is by far one of the most comprehensive yt channels i know regarding information
Thank you so much for this video and all the others you make, I always see the 30+min duration and I think "oh boy 30 minutes, I guess I'll watch, they're usually good" but then after a minute or two of watching I'm hooked and don't realize it until the outro music starts playing xD I don't know what I'll do with all the fun stuff you've taught me but I sure enjoy learning it. Thanks again!
It always happens, just when I'm having dinner I read a line like yours and dinner goes flying out of my mouth creating a shockwave as it hits my computer screen.
Have to agree with Manuel Hartmann here. Home of someone else is still a home. To be safe you should do this at some public place for example (or maybe not...)
This feels like a training lecture for explosives professionals. Calm experience being entirely matter of fact about the materials, applications and dangers.
What type/brand of double based smokeless powder were you using for the function test? Btw this is a fantastic demonstration of energetic materials. I wish you made more videos like this. Its an absolute hidden gem on your channel.
I really enjoy your presentation better than some others who talk too fast or presume you know more about the subject than an average person might. Your depth of knowledge shows through like a Kea on, illuminating the topic. You studio is visually appealing, not so much as to take away from your presentation, but it's not a sterile set. Al considered, bravo, five out of five stars Sir.

Hi! If you are going to do the wire detonation under water, please try different wires (gold, silver...etc) if you can. If you were not planning to do it under water, please give it a try. You can create nanoparticles this way, and (I guess, you already know this) if you manage to have different size of nanoparticles (which you might be able to control via the detonation parameters), you will have different colour of solutions (suspensions). It is a very fun experiment, but make sure that you use a very strong container for the water.
guncotton is easy enough to make on site, and since you can make it as needed, so you won't need to ever have more on hand than a single small shot. Double check the regulations first, but back in the 90's you didn't need a lisence or permit for a smaller than 10 lb shot. (work with the law, not against them)
@@muninrob I do placer gold mining, so there is no need for explosives. Besides, since I mine from the bottom of the Bering Sea, there is absolutely no way I'd get a permit to use explosives, even if they would have some benefit for my application.
@@TagiukGold Ahh, an entirely different scale. I was thinking sluicing buckets of sand & gravel next to the river style mining & using small charges to loosen the sand & gravel. (A friend has a hobby claim in the interior) So you use a barge & dredge, or am I thinking the wrong kind still?
I’ve admired your knowing definition of expletive range of communication to be impressed by somebody that could lead press and the press and compress the knowledge and facts that you have to offer in the optimal time that you have to offer in your videos in which I know that it takes a lot of time and effort to break down genius

In service (military) using standard stuff to blast thing up - yes - I had fun many years ago. And with what I did knbow - I helped some to get rid of some old stuff they hade left and unused for many years. at one point, I neutralized more than 2 kilos of more than 50-year-old dynamite - which had liquid nitroglycerin in the packaging - neutralized without having to detonate it - burned nicely along with sawdust.

Sure. You need a pretty high velocity explosive. I'm not sure even our 4km/sec compressed oxygen/hydrogen will be successful.
How much energy did you apply to the wire?
When we film the large detonations, I'll spend a fair amount of the video going through the exploding wire set up, it's kinda demanding electronically because it has to be VERY fast.
Oh, and thanks for watching. We should get together at some point and do something, it'd be a blast!
@@TechIngredients a colab seem good
You should read-up on the "Monroe-Effect", if you want to learn about shaped charges. I have Blast-Formed metals using that technique (and the RPG's of today use the same principle!).

"... it'd be a blast!"
And, this is why you get the BIG bucks!

Be careful, shaped charges are considered NFA items.
This guy really knows his stuff and the theory as well. Those of us that are involved in research know this. Safety is very important however something that needs to be considered at all levels and mostly gained by experience. Most accidents are caused by a lack of knowledge and experience, poor preparation, taking short cuts and just poor judgment. People with experience understand the chemistry, they have spent hundreds of hours cross referencing videos with published material and other sources. This this one of the best videos that has been on RUclips for some time. The rest in the main are kids trying to show off, trying to make compositions that the experts all agree are unsafe. People trying to be too clever for their own good and these are usually the ones that get into trouble and give the rest of us a bad name and are somewhat responsible for never ending licensing requirements. Thumbs up for this guy and an extremely well prepared video with excellent theory and sensible demonstrations.

Utterly fascinating. As a lifelong "pyro" I am always interested in the subject - actually back in the 80's got my shotfirers certification and learned a lot about numerous aspects. I still recall making my first NI3 back in the school lab - to the amusement of my peers and dismay of the chemy lecturer! 'Tannerite' has long been fun out on the range :)
Keep up the great work and thank you.
Glued to the screen the entire time! My house could have caught on fire and I probably wouldn't have noticed! lol
This is what i subbed for. Thank you for being real and unbiased. Keep up the great work.
I hope people watching this and thinking of playing around have noticed the fire extinguisher in the back; this is by far one of the most comprehensive yt channels i know regarding information

Thank you so much for this video and all the others you make, I always see the 30+min duration and I think "oh boy 30 minutes, I guess I'll watch, they're usually good" but then after a minute or two of watching I'm hooked and don't realize it until the outro music starts playing xD I don't know what I'll do with all the fun stuff you've taught me but I sure enjoy learning it.
Thanks again!
great channel, thanks for all the funky stuff.
love it when the inner child shines thru, as when explosions make you smile.
Fascinating stuff. Thanks mate.
18:52 Even your sense of humor is well engineered!
Can I try this at your home instead?
You got a good laugh out of me on that one!
It always happens, just when I'm having dinner I read a line like yours and dinner goes flying out of my mouth creating a shockwave as it hits my computer screen.
do it at work and you'll be fine
Have to agree with Manuel Hartmann here. Home of someone else is still a home. To be safe you should do this at some public place for example (or maybe not...)
You're all on a government list now XD
Always excited when a new video comes out,never disappoints.
This feels like a training lecture for explosives professionals. Calm experience being entirely matter of fact about the materials, applications and dangers.
Greetings to the MP and his family, Happy 4th
I like how when he said charcoal it flashed an image of Hank Hill being horrified...nice touch.

What type/brand of double based smokeless powder were you using for the function test? Btw this is a fantastic demonstration of energetic materials. I wish you made more videos like this. Its an absolute hidden gem on your channel.
I really enjoy your presentation better than some others who talk too fast or presume you know more about the subject than an average person might. Your depth of knowledge shows through like a Kea on, illuminating the topic. You studio is visually appealing, not so much as to take away from your presentation, but it's not a sterile set.
Al considered, bravo, five out of five stars Sir.
Thanks!
The Chemistry Class no one wanted us to have but that we very much appreciate. Thanks for the info and demonstrations!
Am I on a list now? I feel like I'm on a list now.
Lets face it, I've been on a list just based on my youtube history.
When I joined the Army, they said I automatically get put on FBI watch lists, because my MOS involved demolition work. Fun times. 😄

I was disappointed that you were ending the video before showing us the larger experiment, but as soon as you said high speed camera... Definitely waiting for the conclusion.
at 10 minutes when you called the different materials benign and caustic i didnt understand but i looked those words up and now i do thanks again for being very clear and concise
Sure.
“Don’t try this at home!”
I’m heading to get my chemistry set right now! The garage of course......
A collaboration with Slow Mo Guys would be really good with some of the work you guys do.
"If you're interested in this general topic.." What? Explosions? Heck yeah I'm interested!
You are now on a list. I guess we all are from watching this. Damn
''It makes you smile"
My pee is the same color, is full of free radicals, and more explosive.
Man, I hope your channel takes off more! You guys deserve to be like a wikipedia for science junkies.
I haven't figured out how talking about explosive materials available from home depot will help you with youtube algorithm promoting your channel. But generally speaking, really great video, thank you!
Thanks!
Remember, I don't give formulas and if you do a short search for PLX you'll see more information on how to make it from Wikipedia.

Explosives are so much fun, this reminds me of my teenage years lol (I had an interesting youth to say the least).
Your channel is now my favorite your experiments are so interesting! Thank you for the great content.
The presenter reminds me of a Thermodynamics professor I had in college...nationally known and wrote the textbook used at our school, as well as many many nationwide. Love these videos
I wouldn't try ANYTHING you do at home bro.
What about the beer making tutorial?
Paul Butalla
LOL!!
No, not even that. My luck it’ll probably come out skunky😁
What about the super duper bubbles?
I'd say the speakers are a pretty safe project. ;)
What about the whiskey still? DIY at its best.
Great as always, I can always count on tech ingredients to deliver some really interesting science.
Love the Deus Ex TNT crates haha
Also, *Explosions and Fire has joined the chat*
I like that your videos are about understanding a process and not just showing a process. It would be fun to be a helper at your secret laboratory.
This is fantastic. I work in professional pyrotechnics and work with German dark, NH4NO3, KClO₄, etc... I'm also a gear head and was always intrigued by CH ₃NO ₂. Home run video, can't wait for the follow-up.
I would highly encourage you to backup/upload these more "interesting" topic videos to bitchute...
Yes, please.

@@OscarSabaterCruz It looks like that because they only remove content that is explicitly illegal, so lots of weird/fringe shit ends up there.
Hahahahahahaha! Youre right it might thin the herd a bit. Those idiots would definitely try this at home.
Well presented and very interesting as always. I left a couple suggestions for projects on the patreon page, one about a diy heat recovery ventilation (a continuation of the climate control videos) and also a DIY Digital Micromirror Device laser projector (worlds best projector, in addition to the best speakers). Would be very interesting to know if you find these feasible/interesting. Many thanks for your great work!
Thank you for expositing on so many related pieces of data. It warms my heart and stimulates my neuronal banks to a degree that is rare while traversing random videos.
I had really, *really* good chemistry teachers but your style of explaining is even better. Amazing stuff!

did someone buy a chronos? :)
its amazing what these things can do for the price.

its only cheap compared to the alternatives ^^
@@benthere8051 its used by comparatively huge channels, and has been for years. not sure this will represent much of a bump.
I'm assuming the camera you are getting is one of Chronos's. I'm looking forward to the footage you get from it!

I know I did!
at 27 minutes when you mentioned the chicken or the egg question i had to look up what a zygote was to understand you, thank you so much for helping me create a better understanding of chemistry as a whole. i will never forget this and always share your videos as long as you continue to be clear and concise thank again so much
Thanks!
Hi! If you are going to do the wire detonation under water, please try different wires (gold, silver...etc) if you can. If you were not planning to do it under water, please give it a try. You can create nanoparticles this way, and (I guess, you already know this) if you manage to have different size of nanoparticles (which you might be able to control via the detonation parameters), you will have different colour of solutions (suspensions). It is a very fun experiment, but make sure that you use a very strong container for the water.
At 24:12 I found myself subconsciously tapping my screen to help you get the aluminum flakes off the stick.... Ugh lol

This almost makes me wish I used explosives in my gold mining operation.
guncotton is easy enough to make on site, and since you can make it as needed, so you won't need to ever have more on hand than a single small shot. Double check the regulations first, but back in the 90's you didn't need a lisence or permit for a smaller than 10 lb shot. (work with the law, not against them)
@@muninrob I do placer gold mining, so there is no need for explosives. Besides, since I mine from the bottom of the Bering Sea, there is absolutely no way I'd get a permit to use explosives, even if they would have some benefit for my application.
@@TagiukGold Ahh, an entirely different scale. I was thinking sluicing buckets of sand & gravel next to the river style mining & using small charges to loosen the sand & gravel. (A friend has a hobby claim in the interior)
So you use a barge & dredge, or am I thinking the wrong kind still?
Probably the best science channel out there! Keep up the good work!
I’ve admired your knowing definition of expletive range of communication to be impressed by somebody that could lead press and the press and compress the knowledge and facts that you have to offer in the optimal time that you have to offer in your videos in which I know that it takes a lot of time and effort to break down genius
thank you so much im in tears

Thank you : In the past some 50 years ago I did make my own 3-nitro-glycerin, and mixed it with - well I had fun. later I got license to by and use 'regulre dynamite' as a 'private' (civilian) blast rocks in farmers feald - like. In service (military) using standard stuff to blast thing up - yes - I had fun many years ago.
And with what I did knbow - I helped some to get rid of some old stuff they hade left and unused for many years.
at one point, I neutralized more than 2 kilos of more than 50-year-old dynamite - which had liquid nitroglycerin in the packaging - neutralized without having to detonate it - burned nicely along with sawdust.
Good to see you
thanks
