This yellow powder can't get wet (lycopodium)

- What I have here just looks like a generic yellow powder, but I think it's pretty cool. If I add it to some water it just floats on top, which isn't too interesting. If I put my fingers in it though, it has a really weird effect...

@Cristina💦 no offense ma’am but no one is buying that🤣
It started with a hydrophobic yellow powder and ended up with a flamethrower. As expected from Nile.
And that's before he ate the Power Pellet.
Not only that, buy this powder is waterproof, so with enough of it, it can't be put out with water
Goddammit Niles, don't give them ideas
Can I get your pfp pic's source or link 🙂
@@jwalster9412 thats genius!!
This man just didnt realize how interesting would be trying to mix this powder to a liquid using a blender
nile red would set that action lab bitch on fire
They wouldn’t mixed. Using a blender does not changes its chemical properties.
@@hinsonhau9129 Mixing most of solids with liquids also dont change its chemicals properties.
I was talking only about the visual aspect of the experiment.
@@vagnersilva5465 not much would change, he dipped two fingers (with powder over it) but later powder kept floating on surface.
If mechanically mixed it'd surround the water particles on a molecular level ending up with a weird dry liquid/powder hybrid

@@darkness74185 yeah you can use regular bread flour to do this, but lycopodium powder has a history of being used in pyrotechnics which is probably why it was featured here

Probably helps that it actually can't clump or get wet, which would effect the spread efficiency and flammability quite a bit
I love how the first thing you did was dipping your fingers in it and the second was build a f_ing flame thrower
EDIT: Just because people keep telling me: I censored that because RUclips sometimes auto-deletes comments with swear words in them. There's literally no other meaning "f_ing" could have, anyway.

Does this mean that we, theoretically, could coat a chunk of pure sodium metal in this powder and it won't explode on contact with water? Could we go the extra mile and store it in water with this powder in between the metal and the water?

“This powder is hydrophobic! Also, I made a flamethrower!”

Left out the really interesting part. Made from moss spores. Used as a flash fire substances (picture old time flash photography).
In Denmark it is called Heksemel, Witch's flour. It has been used for avoiding pills from the pharmacist sticking together. Pills were made from a sort of dough and could thus be slightly sticky. Now only tablets and capsules are used. And a little amount put into an inkwell - is funny. Kind of, nobody really uses inkwells anymore.
That's pretty neat

@@alfy_boi6221 Yes. In Danish it's called Ulvefod. Lycopodium in Latin. The tops of the plant turns a light yellow, then it's time to harvest.

That 'flamethrower' thing will work with just about any mildly flammable powder.
Would probably work with flour.
of course flour will do., a lot of accidents in kitchen happened because of this
alternative title: how to make a flamethrower with dust
That last part is known as a dust explosion, since most dust particles are flammable only when airborne due to the fact that each particle needs to burn separately very quickly to create a large amount of pressure in the air to form combustion, powder or dust clomped together in a pile doesn't burn that efficiently.
Other powders or dust that are combustible while airborne are ones like sand, concrete and flour, though to form a dust explosion, the powder needs to be spread around a concealed environment, whether that be a bottle, a container or a room.
yes, this is really what you call deflagration
the same thing happened in one punch man OVA, where the dusts were all blown away into the living area and when zombieman used a lighter the dispersed dusts in the closed area started to react to the gas and heat from the lighter and formed chained combustions
Apparently, this stuff used to happen to windmills all the time. Someone would light a cigarette, or light a match, and the entire milk would simply explode because of all the fine flour particles in the air
I don't think sand has enough organic matter to combust in the air.
I think it's worth mentioning that this isn't just some random powdered oxide or whatever, but the actual spores of a clubmoss plant (Lycopodium sp.)
Yes and it's also used as pill backfill i think
Cool! Thanks for the info.

Lycopodium is sold in magic stores (stage magicians supply) under the brand name of Dragon's Breath to shoot a flame from your finger. I first bought it around 43 years ago.
the fact that you've to put two fingers in and it still isn't wet is hilarious.

@@srenkoch6127 do you mean a kitchen **knife** ?
@@srenkoch6127 Yes, but using kitchen knives to become a serial killer is so cliché. Nile can do it in an original way.
LOL! I remember my high school chemistry class when the teacher did the exploding powder demo using a large cookie tin and of course 'lycopodium powder'.
What I'll never forget was the conveyance of disbelief when the teacher asked the class "What is lycopodium powder?" No one knew, myself included.
Now I knew the ancient names of lots of chemicals like 'lunar caustic' and 'aqua fortis', 'sugar of lead', wood alcohol, Condy's Red Fluid, etc. But to this day the *ONLY* known use of the infamous lycopodium powder is as a messy flammable dust.
lol
Nice demo of why flour mills and grain silos can be such dangerous places to work if they don't have adequate ventilation and dust filtration....it would have been good to mention that this yellow powder is actually the spores of a species of moss and not a chemical compound
Summary: Scientist makes a cheap DIY flamethrower
Nile is the type of the type of guy who would see something and say: is anyone gonna use it as a weapon
And not wait for an answer
One of my plant guides said the Lycopodium spores (I’m assuming this powder is the ground spores?) were once used as a gunpowder substitute. I wasn’t sure how that would work until I saw this video. Thanks for clearing up that little mystery for me!
It could only substitute parts of the black powder.
You still need the potassium nitrate as the oxidiser, but it could conceivable replace the charcoal.
@@srenkoch6127 thank you for your two cents, you helped my understanding a great deal!

You can do that flamethrower trick with most fine powders e.g flour just don’t breathe in the fine particulates they’ll damage your lungs
It's also used as a release agent in casting.

Dissolve this stuff in hydrochloric acid 5% at 1:10 distilled or so.
It will create a mouth rinse (liquid) that can dissolve the mineral deposits (tartar) on your teeth (break them away typically).
*Sees budget flamethrower*
"Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today."
The powder is the plant's spores (lycopodium is a bryophyte- a spore producing plant). You can make the same fame thrower using flour, fine sawdust, or any dry organic ground up fine suspended in the air. This is why mill buildings had a long history of exploding.
This powder is amazing
It’s amazing how lycopodium is so similar to other things that don’t mix with water and that can be set on fire, like a podium.
Imagine if somebody got there Seasonings mixed up with that
its used as an ice cream stabilizer
