Isn't it interesting to look at e.g. journal articles from ~100 years ago to see both how much they did and yet did not know? Now, my area of interest is more in medicine, but given your historical remarks at the outset of the video, there are some loose parallels. And what especially struck me in medicine is how much they were able to accomplish despite totally lacking a lot of what is considered fundamental today. Even in statistical methodology, some of it wasn't there (or not applied). But, on the other hand, they were doing all sorts of blood tests and stuff that I wouldn't have necessarily thought were even a thing back then. They were capable of calculating total energy expenditure by taking body temperature and monitoring respiration, for instance. They knew what platelets were supposed to look like, etc.
i have copies of these books as PDF's. if you're interested in downloading them from my Google Drive, let me know. if i recall correctly, there are 7 books.
Great stuff, I love your reactions to styropyro's videos. Personally I think I had only once a direct contact with poisonous substances at work. When I was a laser tech, we had to clean up a machine after one operator burned through a lense. The only problem was that one of the compounds of that lense was selenium and there was a possibility of making hydrogen selenide in a similar way styropyro made that H2S gas by just adding water. That was fun. I still have a couple of photos with me and my coworker dolled up like surgeons in overalls, face masks, gloves, eye protection and such. That was almost 15 years ago and I'm still alive, so I think that protection was sufficient 😁
Wasnt there a chemical that needed to be refrigerated and had a very short life which was essentially radaway from fallout, I used to think iodine the one you get from seaweed worked because tv lied to us. I tried to get some but its all gov websites and medical facilities so maybe its super toxic and removes radiation. I swear it was pink.
Styropyro in another video said that he had to move out into the countryside because of his neighbors in his previous neighborhood; that was to minimize danger to his neighbors and to be able to do more wild experiments (and probably cut down on complaints). So there's minimal risk to others out where he lives now (he does still take precautions because he still has neighbors, although they're further away).

Nile is an expert and often makes his experiments look more dangerous than they are. Magicians like Penn & Teller are outspoken about how illusions should not put anyone at risk of harm -- fooling the audience into believing there's danger however, is fair game. There are absolutely RUclips channels taking very real risks for their -science- content but styro isn't one of them. His editing and presentation are made to look reckless and amateurish, when in reality, he's taking immense precautions. Check out his laser videos to see just how serious he is about safety. 😊
Remember the radium girls? They were told to lick the brush for each application of the paint. They made watches, and aviation meters for WWII planes and ships.
I don't know if anybody else posted this, but the first convincing evidence of the ozone layer came in 1913, with the work of two french meteorologists, Fabry and Buisson. In 1928, the first simple tool to measure the ozone was developed by G. M. B. Dobson, who went on to create a series of measuring stations around the Earth. Dobson units are still the standard units for measuring ozone in the atmosphere. Researchers knew by 1914 that the ozone layer absorbed ultraviolet rays. It doesn't look like we discovered that we were damaging the ozone until the late 1960s.
It was more towards the mid 70s, I think. It was a discovery that fell sideways out of some research being done on whether particulate matter from the Shuttle SRB propellant would have an impact on the atmosphere. At the start of the Shuttle program, there were to be weekly launches (or something equally ridiculous) so there'd be a lot of particles of burned plastics floating around up there. What the researchers did discover was that the ozone layer was being depleted and that CFCs were the primary cause. I've always meant to research that story a bit to find out how they went from researching the effects of PBAN and weird polymers, etc. to CFCs. Talk about a bloody lucky accident! Yikes ...
I didn't notice it on this video, but on a lot of StyroPyro's videos, you sometimes see protective equipment just past the edge of the camera frame. He only pretends to be a mad scientist.
PPE or not hes definitely mad scientist level xD Virtually all of his videos have featured something that would outright harm/kill/disable you in some way.
Styropyro is one of the most terrifying kinds of people. He is always carefree and unconcerned about life, but completely able to destroy you down to a wisp of smoke with the stuff in your own pocket.
Poor Drake. I hope he's well; he had a bit of a health scare. Fascinating info about Prussian blue and treating radiation exposure. Is it something that could be taken as a kind of prophylaxis, similarly to iodine, if there was a discernible risk of exposure to caesium-137? It seems like its efficacy depends on how soon it can be ingested after receiving a dose, so it makes sense that having it already in your gut at the time of exposure would further increase its efficacy.
When I was a delinquent teenager I decided to have fun with my stoner musician friends so I brought a bottle of potassium dichromate and magnesium dust over to their house. I poured a generous pile into a big glass ashtray on the coffee table, inserted some magnesium ribbon, and ignited. It made a beautiful volcano that shot sparks to the ceiling and filled the room with a floaty green ash and noxious smoke. A second after the volcano ended, the ashtray shattered into several pieces. My friend's response? "Gnarley man"!
Yes! When I was a kid, the magic volcano was a simple pile of ammonium dichromate. There was a local scientific-supply store (long out of business now, a victim of changing times) that would sell the stuff to teenagers, with a terrifying warning label, a wink, and a remark about kids making volcanoes.
I have a book that gives home medical treatments (I'm guessing the publication date to be around 1927 but it's the 13th edition of a much older book) and the number of 'prescriptions' that contain mercury, antimony or arsenic is quite incredible. That's for the householder who has an interest in making their own pharmaceuticals complete with instructions for how to prepare the ghastly things and a list of conditions to match each numbered recipe with.
My guess for the mercuric nitrate lotion (without looking it up) is either a blistering agent (blisters draw out nastiness, well, they don't but that's the theory) or it's intended to burn away tumours, warts etc.
Good thing he literally lives in the middle of the woods lmao. Otherwise you wouldn't see him releasing clouds of highly toxic gas while burning things up (i still find that rather careless cause of the animals tho). I am pretty sure that would be somewhat illegal if he lived in a populated area
This guy reminds me of an old chemistry joke I heard in university: "Billy was a chemist's boy, but Billy is no more. For what he thought was H2O was H2SO4!"
It's funny (kinda, hormonal disorder aside) because when you watch styropyro you think you're watching a teenager doing dumb shit but he's actually like 30 something and a real chemist (and teacher iirc)... doing dumb shit
Great video. I can't imagine how to make this much of fog is even legal, being in an unhabitated area or not. I'm watching ur videos here from Brazil, realy addicted to your channel right now. I would love to see some reactions from some videos from "kreosan english", a group of chernobyl stalkers doing a lot of things in the exclusion zone. Visiting a grandma still living there, searching for hot particles, exploring contaminated places, diving, swimming, eating and drinking in there. Also a video of them making a "x-ray gun", with scraps of radiological machines. Keep doing this great job of bringing a nuclear perspective from different areas.

Blue Coal was a sponsor of The Shadow radio series. Glen Alden Coal Company had it as a trademark brand, but how they coloured the coal is somewhat lost to time.
In the early 20th century, scientists discovered the ozone layer and its role in protecting Earth from harmful UV radiation. By 1930, British physicist Sidney Chapman explained how UV light splits oxygen molecules, forming ozone, which then absorbs more UV. This laid the foundation for our understanding of the ozone layer’s protective function.
The hole patching recipe reminds me of Explosions&Fire testing a hydrogen sulfide generator on his 2nd channel, Extractions&Ire, where he uses carbon, wax and sulfur molten together, and it creates a shocking amount of hydrogen sulfide.
I have a similar chemistry book from the 1950’s that has everything you can imagine, from cosmetics to explosives and more. I’ve only found one recipe so far that uses uranium, it’s for a yellow ceramic glaze.
I'm pretty sure that the colored coal recipe is influenced by a company that used to literally paint their coal for home stoves blue with lead paint as a branding maneuver. They would advertise heavily on old radio shows like "the shadow". I'm certain that the coal didn't look as cool as it does here.
Personally, I find it amazing that harmless everyday substances like aluminum and iron makes a powerful rocket fuel when turned to powder and mixed together
Ah yes, the days of simple household arsenic and mercury chemistry. Shout out of to my fellow 70s babies who grew up with mercury based antiseptics! Merthiolate (aka monkey blood!) was the bane of my elementary school existence. Hurt like crazy.
Loss by the way is a reference to a webcomic. There was a strip where one of the characters suffers a miscarriage and its just a sudden, strange change in tone for this normally lighthearted and silly gamer webcomic. It rapidly attained meme status and is permanently etched into the zoomer pattern recognition codex.
If Cole was actually colored at a commercial scale (I have no idea), My guess is it was probably for tax purposes. As a modern equivalent, agricultural Diesel fuel today which is tax exempt has dye added so the tax collector can bust anyone using it for some other taxable purpose.
Computers in the 1930's were mechanical, they were used in places like battle ship gun turrets. Clockwork mechanical systems, to calculate accurate shots kilometers away bobbing up and down in the ocean 🌊
hey tyler, I wanna recommend a video idea about a game called *"Nuclear Fission Simulator"* it's a short game, so you could maybe do it as a short, but i really like the game and I think you would too. (day one of asking)
the uranium fake mineral is something I definitely wouldn't try, when I have uranium glass, and a vial of small chunks of uranium ore [~8.8g], I don't see much point when I have real minerals that glow, and glass that glows, radioactive nephrotoxic slime is so unappealing
Watched all his stuff with this book, it's like they just crammed every random thing they could think of into it, regardless of how useful it might be...wonder if the author was paid by the word or thickness or something
Genuine question. I'm an aspiring nuclear engineer who is currently studying electrical engineering in an undergrad program. Any advice on steps to take torward a job like yours?
"a lot of things will glow with a UV light", that's a reason why I don't have one in my bedroom! 😅 Btw, ❤ Styropyro, hope he is doing well since I last saw a video from him ❤
Hey, I love your videos and the amazing labour of teaching and combatting misinformation on nuclear technology. I would really like to see you react to the channel Spacedock’s videos on nuclear technology in sci-fi settings, they talk about it’s use for spaceship propulsion and weaponry, and they bring up some really interesting and sometimes bizarre concepts.
Naphtha is a byproduct of gasoline production and it used to be the ingredient in Zippo fluid, but they changed it and now the fluid isn't worth a shit.
@jakfjfrgnei I din't know, I had to look. From what I found, you're right on the money. A.I. Overview has this published on the internet: Yes, naphtha is used in making roads: Cutback asphalt Naphtha is a solvent used in cutback asphalt, a liquid mixture of asphalt cement and other solvents. When used for road construction, cutback asphalt is crushed into a dust-like substance and applied. Naphthenic bitumen A type of bitumen, or asphalt, that contains a higher proportion of naphthenic hydrocarbons.
In the 1970's our Undergraduate Degree Course in Inorganic Chemistry involved the copious use of Potassium Dichromate and the dust got all over the place. None of the Students or Staff seemed to suffer any ill effects. But in those days we played with liquid Mercury so it seems that things were not as toxic.

"what's stopping these things from ... burning up in your pocket ..."? asbestos
True for those days, unfortunately.
Also, those are safety match compunds so they are still missing one component.
As I've said elsewhere, Styropyro is basically the "Nuclear Boy Scout" if he had proper supervision growing up.
The nuclear boyscout would be like Tuesday afternoon for Drake.
That guy was a trip man

In 1933 the invention of CPR was 27 years in the future. We were bumbling idiots about our bodies.
Styropyro is actually a professor.
Always love the comparison between science and magic. Like science really is just magic explained

I remember hearing adverts for "Blue Coal" in old 1930's radio recordings. Sherlock holmes radio programs specifically.
white flare powder of saltpeter sulphur and a little ground up black powder... mixed with a nice dose of copper oxide makes a very nice blue flame.

Ive never seen a drill bit bend like that...mustn't be hardened steel.
its wild he made cancer cheese and a year later hes got some weird medical shit goin on
Classic styro is amazing.

Computers in the 1930's were mechanical, they were used in places like battle ship gun turrets. Clockwork mechanical systems, to calculate accurate shots kilometers away bobbing up and down in the ocean 🌊
Styropyro has a new video out on a 20kw microwave
Yeet made me laugh because it’s been turned into a cheer in WWE (professional wrestling).
Styro looks like a real life joker, from Batman! 😳🤣
hey tyler, I wanna recommend a video idea about a game called *"Nuclear Fission Simulator"* it's a short game, so you could maybe do it as a short, but i really like the game and I think you would too.
(day one of asking)
the uranium fake mineral is something I definitely wouldn't try, when I have uranium glass, and a vial of small chunks of uranium ore [~8.8g], I don't see much point when I have real minerals that glow, and glass that glows, radioactive nephrotoxic slime is so unappealing
Can you recommend some good book or resource to understand nuclear fission and fusion and their practical use
/me looking at the forbidden cheeto dust.. *DROOL*
21:50 That blue is called indigo.
styro sounds like a voice actor whos doing an anime English voice whos a little winded xD
He’s ACTUALLY a chemist?!
Watched all his stuff with this book, it's like they just crammed every random thing they could think of into it, regardless of how useful it might be...wonder if the author was paid by the word or thickness or something
Genuine question. I'm an aspiring nuclear engineer who is currently studying electrical engineering in an undergrad program. Any advice on steps to take torward a job like yours?
i wonder if he managed to damage himself messing with all this stuff. considering his last post about health issues..
mmmm nuclear witchcraft
I guess we all has uranium fever
Hello Folse I will be starting at a nuclear plant soon as a Nuclear Technician. Is there any advice you would give me for my first few weeks.
Styopyro is good. T. Folse Nuclear is good. Sum them and it's awesome!
seems like everything nasty starts with the word Potassium..
"a lot of things will glow with a UV light", that's a reason why I don't have one in my bedroom! 😅
Btw, ❤ Styropyro, hope he is doing well since I last saw a video from him ❤
Mmmm, cesium 137, droool!
"if you to the war gasses section..." im sorry the WHAT section
why does everything in chemistry dangerous but looks so delicious!?
I thought hydroflouric acid is a weak acid but above something like 3 mol concentrations it becomes extremely strong acid?
Hey, I love your videos and the amazing labour of teaching and combatting misinformation on nuclear technology.
I would really like to see you react to the channel Spacedock’s videos on nuclear technology in sci-fi settings, they talk about it’s use for spaceship propulsion and weaponry, and they bring up some really interesting and sometimes bizarre concepts.
I wish you two could meet!
Naphtha is a byproduct of gasoline production and it used to be the ingredient in Zippo fluid, but they changed it and now the fluid isn't worth a shit.
Isn't it used in roads?
@jakfjfrgnei I din't know, I had to look. From what I found, you're right on the money.
A.I. Overview has this published on the internet:
Yes, naphtha is used in making roads:
Cutback asphalt
Naphtha is a solvent used in cutback asphalt, a liquid mixture of asphalt cement and other solvents. When used for road construction, cutback asphalt is crushed into a dust-like substance and applied.
Naphthenic bitumen
A type of bitumen, or asphalt, that contains a higher proportion of naphthenic hydrocarbons.
137Cs is your favourite radioactive isotope?
so question is could one use Prussian blue in a fallout scenario as a countermeasure ?
read 10g a day is safe , so time to stock up
The colored coal looks a lot like bornite, Cu5FeS4.
are these just old patents? where do these things actually come from?
In the 1970's our Undergraduate Degree Course in Inorganic Chemistry involved the copious use of Potassium Dichromate and the dust got all over the place.
None of the Students or Staff seemed to suffer any ill effects.
But in those days we played with liquid Mercury so it seems that things were not as toxic.
@tfoIsenuclear I wonder if they colored the coal so it could be traced back to the original mine or company that sold it.
