TNT, High explosive. What does that mean? It's very hard to get it to explode, it takes a "high amount of energy". You can literally throw it it in a wood fire (without a fuse!!!) and it won't explode because that's not enough energy to make it do so. Nitroglycerin, Low Explosive. What does that mean? It's very easy to get it to explode, it takes a "low amount of energy". You can nudge the bottle by accident and lose a finger.
thats not what a low explosive is. a low explosive is one in which the rate of decomposition moves through the material at less than the speed of sound.
Fun fact: Nobel himself suffered from heart problems, and his doctor suggested that he eat nitroglycerin. Nobel refused to ingest what he considered to be an explosive, and he ultimately died of heart complications.
Many of Nobel's experiments caused explosions in the Nobel factory, one of which killed his younger brother, Emil, along with several co-workers. Ultimately, Nobel was successful in stabilizing nitroglycerin by mixing it with diatomaceous earth (a type of sedimentary rock that easily crumbles into a fine powder).
2 years late, I know, but I also read that Nobel found it ironic how a dangerous explosive he had used ended up being used to save people with heart complications.
Obviously, the only reason it didn't work for headaches is that they weren't using a small enough dose. For it to work, you need a pill that contains a drop of water that has heard a vague rumor that there may once have been a molecule of nitroglycerine in a container it once passed near.
R3Testa Also, if your heart is healthy, and you are not having an angina attack, it will lower blood pressure too much and cause a headache. I suspect there may be other side effects which have been the cause of much spamming and scamming online.
In 2014 , i had a heart attack. While at the hospital i had two more within 48 hours. The last two heart attacks were prevented by using Nitrostat. It saved my life twice. I never leave home without it.
@@lifewithliljess9157 Since this comment was 4 years old. I guess I'll answer and say nitrostat is a brand name for nitroglycerin pills. Like Tylenol is just a specific brand name for Acetaminophen, or how Advil is just a brand name for ibuprofen.
One point to contend. Nitroglycerin's main mechanism of action is actually to dilate the smooth vascular muscles in your body, which leads to decreased venous return and a smaller preload. This decreased preload means that your heart will not need to exert as much effort in systole. Less effort = less oxygen required. Less oxygen required = less ischemic damage. Source: Medical Student
I LOVE THAT YOU SPEAK SO CLEARLY!!! I could listen to you all day...AND how refreshingly respectful of you to pronounce "Sombrero's" name correctly! I appreciate your attention to detail.
I just found this out a few months ago when my girlfriend told me she was prescribed nitroglycerin. I was confused and didn't understand how something that could explode so violently could also be heart medicine. Thank you SciShow for explaining it to me in a simple enough way.
phantasm1234 that's terrifying! I'm glad your survived, I didn't know one could survive aneurisms! I thought it was just a one and done kind of deal, and I mean no offence, I really didn't know how they worked.
I had a friend who was prescribed nitroglycerine and nearly a dozen other drugs to keep his blood vessels dilated enough to prevent his arterial congestion from giving him heart failure. It worked so long as he had it. He commented on how wonderfully relaxing it was. I never tried it but another friend was curious to see what it was like so he got one, his philosophy being that he would try any drug at least once. The friend who was prescribed these survived on the tiny nitroglycerine pills, being the most powerfully effective drug in the dozen or so different kinds of pills he was taking. He later died the evening after being released from the operating room after another attempted heart operation.
Thanks for a great video. I'm currently wearing a Nitro patch on a daily basis. It is titled on the package: Nitroglycerin Transdermal System 0.4 mg/hr. Below that it reads: Each 16 cm2 system contains 44.8 mg of nitroglycerin. Approximate rated release in vivo 0.4 mg/hr. Contents: 1 System. On the back side, it reads: Each 24 hour period should include a patch-on period of 12-14 hours, followed by a patch-free interval, unless otherwise directed by your physician. 0.4 mg per hour makes sense because it is in line with a nitro tablet which is commonly 0.4 mg. But I don't understand the math as implied on the nitro patch package. If the system contains 44.8 mg of nitro, and it releases for 10 hours (rounded), it would release 4 mg per hour, not .4 mg per hour. Looked at another way, if the patch releases .4 mg/hr, then the system would contain 4.0 mg of nitro, not 40 mg per hour. Either I don't understand what I'm reading, or somebody at Mylan put the decimal point in the wrong place. Comments please?
I doubt that is a print error, more than likely the patch has a large excess of nitroglycerin to keep the dosage rate constant throughout the duration of it's use. The adhesive used on the patch is what contains the NG, more than likely it needs the NG to be at a higher concentration to even allow transfer of the medication through it, let alone a constant dosage, once it "dries out" beyond a certain point it's ability to transfer the NG slows down or stops, despite there still being a lot of it still trapped inside. This is just an educated guess, I'm not a medical expert or anything, it just makes sense based on my experiences.
@@TheExplosiveGuy Thanks, that does make sense. And I like the "dries out" theory. Sometimes I forget to remove it after 12 hours and the patch stays on 24 hours, and then I put another one on. And from what I read, this can create a tolerance problem, where the nitro doesn't work anymore, even if you increase the dosage, until one goes patch free for at least a few hours. However, I've never experienced a tolerance problem. So I agree, it must slow down to a trickle or it stops. Thanks again.
Awesome, I was taking a Red Cross Wilderness First Aid course last summer and our instructor mentioned Nitroglycerin to which I had to ask if he was talking about the same Nitroglycerin that is known for being an explosive, an its nice to get greater clarification than a simple, yes but no.
Thank you for making this video and i learned something interesting because of your efforts, i really appreciate the time you took too produce this video.
Actually, the technical term for chest pain is "angina pectoris". "Angina" is what people often call it, even though it's unspecific. You can have different forms of angina, another commonly known being angina tonsillaris, whereas the word itself comes from Latin and means something like strangling.
When I was in college, I used a box (in my closet) which had contained dynamite. Apparently some of the nitroglycerin had leached out into the cardboard, since I started getting headaches (I have very low BP). I realized what was happening, got rid of the box, washed everything in it, and the problem went away.
One critical thing you've missed to mention: this drug has to be placed under the tongue in order to make it effective. If you swallow it, it will be absorbed via the g.i. tract and go through the liver metabolism and lose its function then. Also this drug should not be used as in preventive manner because your body will built tolerance to it under prolonged exposure. It should be used when symptom occur.
Nitroglycerin does not burn when it explodes. It breaks on molecular level to various gases. Gunpowder burns when it explodes and it carries oxidizer in nitrate it has.
TechWizPC Saccharine and LSD were also discovered by chemists who accidentally or intentionally tasted a new compound themselves. In the case of LSD, so little is needed that the ingestion of microscopic dust particles was enough. Today, chemical labs have elaborate isolation mechanisms to ensure nothing gets into a chemist's or lab technician's body.
In the medical circles we call it GTN (short for glyceryl trinitrate - only realised it was the same thing after googling it!) and we give it as a spray under the tongue during suspected heart attacks. I wonder how much more or less dangerous the spray is compared to the tablets? 🤔
The tablets are usually kept in pharmacies too, though at least in our particular case, it was a pretty rarely prescribed thing. I assume they take the same procedures to make it safe though. I'd imagine it would cause a bit of a fuss if you anyone was keeping/prescribing actual explosive medicine to anyone!
If you're watching these shows, please like the video. If you can't donate money to them, the least you could do is like the video. It helps them a lot.
Not really. RUclips doesn't care about the likes; it's a dead button. RUclips however does care about watchtime and how many of a channel's videos you watch. So if you wanna help them, just watch the full video at least once, show it to others you think might like it and come back for more of their other videos.
I tried to make a donation a couple of times but instead of just being able to give them the money one has to sign up & give a lot of personal info. IMO they need to offer an easier, lest convoluted pathway.
So I realized what happened in "The Legend of Zorro". Somebody poured a nitroglycerin liquid as a part of a demonstration of the explosive in that film. Then it was thrown on the wooden floor. Seconds later, a powerful incendiary detonation and extremely loud boom went off ---and the explosive force was - I guess - 2 times or so more powerful than a hand grenade explosion at close range! It was so explosive!!!
I have an image in my head of some homeopath making a nitroglycerin preparation. It gets funny when you remember that the main step of a homeopathic preparation is "succussion", i.e. striking the container really hard...
TL;DR: don't try to make it at home. When I was in university, three students decided to make some nitroglycerin (NG) in the dorm. It exploded in the process. One of them died, another got severe face burn, became and ultimately didn't recover from mental trauma, third, beside burns lost and eye, hand and 3 fingers on another hand. Dorm's room where they was "cooking" had it's walls slightly shifted/expanded. Whole building and couple neighbour lost all their glass windows. Do not try making explosives at home. Besides, being quite illegal, it is extremely dangerous. Those three was excellent students and had bright future in chemistry if not for this decision and consequent accident.
ingesting TNT to cure chest pains sounds like something Cave Johnson would have done while holed up 4 miles below the surface and yelling at hobos pissing in his elevators.
Nitroglycerin jelly is also prescribed as a topical and intra-anal muscle relaxer for the treatment of hemorrhoids and anal fissures. I can personally confirm that it works like a charm.
In my Advanced Biology class my teacher is informing us that almost everything we consume is traced back to corn, can you please make a video on corn and how it's in most animals and food in the western diet?
Race car driver and builder Carroll Shelby would pop nitro tablets all the time.

I always feel like a vein in my heart is squeezing I get very anxious over that i always have this dull pain in my left arm too. My bpm is 80-90 at rest sometimes 70 . When i sleep it goes away but after i wake up amd think about it 30 mins later it starts again and goes on the entire day. Its very uncomfortable i wont say painful tho. Feels like something squeezing always . I dont feel out of breath or fatigued . Is there something wrong with my heart
Nitroglycerine AND strychnine for heart problems are 2 compounds used that i know of. Maybe there are other compounds derived from natural objects. Like box jelly fish like thst one that is the size of your thumb nail. Irikundji jelly fish.
It’a very interesting that a compound that was initially used for bombs is something that people put into their bodies, hoping to relieve pain in one of the most delicate organs. Even though it has been proved to work for countless years, it makes me wonder if it could potentially hurt somebody. If, perhaps, somebody attempted to overdose on pills that contained nitroglycerin, would they die of heart and blood vessel related issues, or would there be even the slightest possibility that the nitroglycerin could combust inside them? Even though the video didn’t speak on that, I would be interested to know the answer.
What do you do when you discover a curious new compound? American scientists: Test and label it Russian scientists: Test and label it German scientists: Test and label it Japanese scientists: Test and label it Italian Scientists: SEE IF IT GOES GOOD WITH DE PASTA AYYY
That's cool. I'm a 4th year. How do you like pediatrics? In lack of further evidence, I think even in the case of Prinzmetal you probably don't lower mortality by all that much, if at all.
My grandmother has Nitro pills, they're itty bitty and in a really tiny bottle, inside a slightly bigger bottle inside a normal medicine bottle... are all those bottles needed?
Nitroglycerin: it can either be used as an explosive or as a medicine against heart problems. Nuclear fusion: it can either be used in bombs which could obliterate entire cities or to generate electricity. Hammer effect works!
if nitroglycerin tablets can set off bomb detectors at the airport, can the sublingual spray do that as well? (I have the spray with me not for my heart but for achelacia. I sometimes need it just to be able to swallow.)

No, you got the history wrong. He refused to ingest it, so he sticked them to his chest. Thus, nitroglycerin patch was invented.

is it wrong to geneticaly engineer a ostrich in to a visious predator with a tast for humans?
Only if the Ostrich is vegan.
What if I freeze nitroglycerin? Will it still be dangerous? What's its freezing point?
Steve Johnson Thank you very much for taking your time to answer me. 👍
Instructions unclear. Ingested nitroglycerin, now prone to spontaneous combustion.
amazing
What gives it the sweet taste?
What do you do when you discover a curious new compound?
American scientists: Test and label it
Russian scientists: Test and label it
German scientists: Test and label it
Japanese scientists: Test and label it
Italian Scientists: SEE IF IT GOES GOOD WITH DE PASTA AYYY
You could have said "Taste and label it"
@@GrzegorzSobkowicz that's pretty clever actually.

Note: Nitrates don't improve short-term or long-term survival, it only helps to relieve pain.
Indeed. Michael said it was life-saving, so I felt I had to mention it.
Interesting. Very rare diagnosis, however. Do you have a reference?
That's cool. I'm a 4th year. How do you like pediatrics?
In lack of further evidence, I think even in the case of Prinzmetal you probably don't lower mortality by all that much, if at all.
Variant Angina is life-threatening? its not even among the ACS.
ALWAYS WONDERED THIS
My grandmother has Nitro pills, they're itty bitty and in a really tiny bottle, inside a slightly bigger bottle inside a normal medicine bottle... are all those bottles needed?
Oh and the smokes in that cigarette box on the table they just so happen to be laced with nitroglycerin.
So should I just buy and take small doses of medical nitroglycerin every now and then just because it makes it easier for the heart?
Pan Limak no u should go to a doctor and let him do the prescriptions...
Nitroglycerin: it can either be used as an explosive or as a medicine against heart problems.
Nuclear fusion: it can either be used in bombs which could obliterate entire cities or to generate electricity.
Hammer effect works!
DR STONE REFERENCE BLBLBLBLBL
If nitroglycerine is converted to nitric oxide can very small dose be used as supplement?
if nitroglycerin tablets can set off bomb detectors at the airport, can the sublingual spray do that as well? (I have the spray with me not for my heart but for achelacia. I sometimes need it just to be able to swallow.)
Oh, and the smokes in that cigarette box on table,
They just so happen to be laced with nitroglycerin
I have had a dose and, yes instant headache.
