    This is an easy tutorial for making gun cotton or nitrocellulose at home with ingredients from the hardware store. This gun cotton is an extremely fast burning and is a powerful explosive. Be careful, do your research, make sure its legal in your area.
    Ive seen a lot of videos about making nitrocellulose with chemistry grade chemicals and their end result isn't as fast or cleanly burning as mine.
    These 3 ingredients can be purchased almost anywhere and the process is very simple. The end result is an extremely fast and professional grade product.
    But is it REALLY nitrocellulose? Heres the proof:

    please please please don't use latex or nitrile gloves with nitric acid!! if that's all you have, no gloves is actually safer.

    It is like listening to Bob Ross do home chemistry.

    You can get sodium nitrate in the plant care section in 5 pound bags. Much more nitrate than the potassium nitrate. If you plan to use calcium nitrate, do the measurements on what would end up as CaSO4 and pour the free nitric acid into a bowl or beaker then add your sulfuric acid to that. One very cool use is to treat cofee filters. The nitrocellulose us extremely good for filtering stuff out of very acidic solutions such as filtering rhodium out of platinum chloride solutions or garbage out of gold chloride solutions. ❤

    I was actually impressed with your recipe. In fact, if you watch the "How its made" episode ( the bbc how its made), They had a scientist make this but out of pure Acids no store bought stuff, but there were TONS of carbon ashes left behind. Yours was SOOOOO much cleaner. And I will admit, I was seriously doubting it was going to be so cool...I was wrong... So like I said I was impressed with your recipe. Good Job Bud!

    This is why you don't buy cooking utensils from yard sales, flea markets, thrift stores or antique shops unless this is what you're doing with it.

    Thank you for these exciting educational videos. Signed one-armed-Bert. I had a book of chemical experiments about 200 years old. It just listed hundreds maybe of experiments. It had wood engraving (?) illustrations of blokes with puffy sleeves holding glass tubes over candle flames. For making nitroglycerine I only remember it said like "Take an grain the size of a mustard seed and put on a shovel, strike with a hammer and a large report will be heard". I never actually did the experiments. My mum burned the big suitcase with all my books in it 1964 while I was at university because mice got into it & nested. Pretty annoying.

    Right on!,,anyone that doesn't have experience working with chemicals should do lots of research before playing with chemistry,, this is the best advice I can give as a chemist,,,always safety first!!!

    I like the way you set up the less than perfect balls, and well demonstrated the effectiveness of fully nitrating, thanks, very nicely done.

    The very end with the 4 different cotton tests was worth the thumbs up by itself - excellent end demonstration

    Pretty cool!!! I need to try this...... I've already got the potassium nitrate on hand,for my black powder activities. Great video!

    Excellent video. I as an ex - fireworks worker at a local factory, once i tried it using pure nitric & sulphuric acids, the ammount of each varied slightly - more nitric than sulfuric acid, and a small ammount of pure clinical cotton. i left the cotton soaking in the mixture for a couple of days, while it was fuming. Then after 3 days the cotton started to desintegrate. I filtered the powdery stuff, left it to dry, and tried to light it up, but nothing burnt. Obviously, i had no chemistry background, to which i was so interested in at school, but unfortunately they altered the subject to another, leaving me with a great lack of chemical knowledge. Anyway, it was a great and very interesting video, and at last i have learned how to produce it effectively. Thanks.

    One of your first videos. Still come back to watch it. And use it for reference. Just wanted to say thank you.
