Such great vids the school system can revolutionize the education system if they change just a two things. Hiring the right teacher that is passionated about other learning like this guy and what you teach. It's no secret school are teaching so many useless topics that wont help you grow in life leaving other topics that are far more important like financial and what not and let me tell you, old ways dont open new doors... Education needs to change as time goes by.
Thanks RUclips! I used to be the plant engineer at this potash plant from 2004-2007. It's still owned by Intrepid Potash Inc. out of Denver. Pretty accurate in all accounts technically. The solution mining method was at first just flooding the original room and pillar underground mine. In 2005 they drilled a set of interconnected horizontal boreholes through the potash bearing strata using the same tech used for horizontal oil and gas drilling. A small point of clarification, but the majority of the evap ponds are actually sodium chloride and the KCL is separated in the plant a few miles east via an amine bubbling process. The remaining sodium saturated water is actually recycled back down the pump shafts. KCL is preferentially soluble in water and this keeps the sodium byproduct from building up. All the feed lines are kept as saturated as possible to minimize corrosion, which as you might imagine can be a big problem.
How much danger is there of the pumped liquid leaking out into the nearby river? I know fracking has dangers of introducing contaminants into the water supply, but that is often due to the fragile nature of the rock where the natural gas is present. Does the potash have a similar structure and therefore similar dangers?
@@PrinceKaladin - The underground solution mining is not done under pressure like hydraulic fracturing (I also spent 18 years as a petrophysicist in the oil and gas industry) so no leakage from underground to the surface water. The ponds are lined with a synthetic rubber liner and they don't scrape it clean when the harvest the evaporated product with converted road scrapers. There is a rock hard layer of salt on the bottom. That said, there is no 400 acre ponds that do not leak, and there is some from the ponds. The water flows across some less permeable rock layers under the ponds and comes out near the river. There are a series of sumps and pumps to catch and recirculate the leakage. Honestly there is not much in the way of harmful contaminants in the water. Mostly just salts and some of the CuSO4, but in very trace quantities. I used to do mass spec analysis on occasion. But it's not great to salinate the Colorado either, so yea they do the best they can but it's not perfect.
@@mranonymous3554 Seeing so many people brainwashed to the point of being literal monosyllabic morons is not a 'subjective analysis'. Every one wants to be a hipster. It is so cool to say 'so cool'. There are many other words in our diverse language, but it always 'cool', 'cool', 'cool' You know what is cool? A freaking dead penguin. Try some other words for a change, it doesn't hurt.
Fascinating video. Potash is also mined at the Bonneville Salt Flats outside of Wendover, Utah, which is like this place one of the stranger landscapes you'll ever see on Earth. Looking forward to more! -John
Same company as the Moab plant. They bought it while I was with the company. Obviously different process though because of no underground mining. Same amine separation process. I liked the management at the Wendover site better though!
I am a 64 yr. man from Rochester, NY and I want to thank you for all that you have taught me. You're never to old to learn new things. I have spent my life composing music and I really think watching your show has made me better at it. I am happy to support your show. Your energy really drives the show. See ya!
Thank you for this! I'm still in my 20s and already feel like I'm too old to learn music (I never had the access/connection/proper introduction). My own brain is making me doubt myself, even when I'm aware of how wrong the thought is.
I work in oil refining in a sulfur recovery unit. I recently took a class. We learned how sulfur is essential to life, and it's just a coincidence that sulfur production from refining has increased at the same rate that the population demand for sulfur. I think this could also be an interesting subject for a video.
@@Steelrat1994 Agree. The over the top producing (music, footage, script...)makes everything so exaggerated and over acted... Everything used to be much simpler, and that’s not bad at all.
If Veritasium was a school there would not be a single person that hated science or maths. The way he explains with so much hard work i never wish to leave his videos unwatched.
@@TheHunter2 except the actual part of learning people hate is the repetition needed to understand a subject completely. Veritasium is a great teacher because he isn't forcing you to do the homework it takes to keep knowledge in ya brain.
@@Spencerjones_music3 its super sad. I had this one math teacher who knew exactly what to say and i got straight A's. Then i got another math teacher who was always goofing around and i got C's and D's. One person can make such a big difference explaining the same stuff. Cause even the same type of math gave me different grades just because of the teacher.
@@keatonspersonalemail9689 force of explosion was evenly distributed through the water so the bucket didnt spin much, plus the water kept the bucket heavy when it hit so it didnt go much of anywhere
I saw these ponds on my flight from Denver to Bakersfield Ca and have wondered what they were ever since. They are so stark and noticeable in the terra cotta-colored landscape. I've shown them to several people with google maps because I think there so cool and unusual THANK YOU!
Just shows such a contrast on how most of these RUclips science videos have little to zero new created content and little interest in informing. Many RUclips channels are mostly parasitical, they just copy stuff to get short views.
I know!! LOVED it!!! And I can't believe how he remained relatively mild in his amusement the whole time. Every time I've done an explosion demo, I jump like 5 feet in the air and yell "OH SH**!!!!"
WHY did it jump tho ?? You would expect that water rapidly blowing up should push bucket down, but instead bucket just flies after water, like rocket flying backwards, weird.
This video has such videography. The script is also very well written, in such a way that it generates curiosity to know more and more. It felt like I was watching a show on BBC or Discovery and it brings back so many memories, felt super nostalgic. Kudos to the writer, director, videographer, producer and everyone else involved in making this video, absolutely loved it!
@@manicmartyr69 I mean, I get people are salty with the BBC for whatever political reasons they don't like but they have been at the forefront of broadcasting technology since forever. A lot of core tech that's used throughout the entire industry comes from the BBC's RnD departments from colour science to audio specs (I say this having worked as a colourist for the better part of a decade). Plus they do make some super pretty stuff. David Attenborough's shows have been the high bar for documentary film making since forever and always put a focus on pushing technology and film making forward. They might make some ropey looking scifi every now and then (looking at you Dr Who) but shows like Peaky Blinders show they can make some good looking TV when they want to. Can't say I dig Discovery's style much though. Only so many cheesy "the truth is out there" documentaries I can stomach :D
So, I think this is due to the RUclips originals, but the editing and pacing of this one are in contrast with the cozy and polite Veritasium-style. I can feel a "The History Channel" vibe here, it's just odd.
@@farifairis7388 I know, but RUclips has to be different from TV. I chose it for this reason. You have to be hooked by content, not from the fancy style. Feels like you miss the message, here. Even though the content is great as always
liked it, but I would've like the show a lot more if it didn't have all that way too loud, hyper-active music and sound effects. Also, those incredibly shaky graphics and camera angles are really hard to look at. I personally prefer the much slower pace of the usual videos, rather than this more traditional TV-like pacing. They don't need to keep their audience's attention on such a tight leash, we're all here because we like his usual videos, which are generally calmer, slower paced, and less saturated (like geez it's like the colors are screaming at me in this video). A documentary-style series would've been much more in-line with that rather than... whatever this is
When you mentioned that mining is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, it reminded me of another dangerous job. Saturation diving! I'd love to see an episode of that!
I'm a 35 years old scientist, and this is the first time I learnt that the name "potassium" came from "pot ash". One of those trivia facts which you don't really learn in education.
Thank you Derek. As a chemist, I sort of knew about these things theoretically but you made it so real. That potassium explosion was wild. I've seen sodium hit water before but nothing like that. I once had to solve a mystery when sticks of white phosphorus (stored under water) were confused with sticks of sodium (stored under oil) and there were sudden delayed explosions as water penetrated under the oil. I heard that the DuPont Chemical company got its start during the Revolutionary war by skimming potash off of crystals from drying urine soaked soil to make gunpowder. I thought you were going there with your patent. And KCl as a fertilizer will carry along the chlorine which is a no-no on fields so how is it modified before application? Copper mines in Arizona also have beautiful blue pools of copper sulfate. Thanks for explaining the confusion in terminology between different meanings of potash. How about soda ash? I thought it's always sodium carbonate. Wonderful video!
Standard industrial process is to react KCl with NaNO3 for KNO3 and NaCl. Sodium nitrate is also mineable (chilean potash) as a naturally occurring mineral. There are some other modern routes, but this was before the Haber-Bosch process so it precludes readily available ammonia.
I wonder how they get the copper sulfate out of it once they add it in. Copper does kill algae, in fact it kills everything alive and never decompose (copper would be copper forever), so it is not something you want to spread into the environment if not necessary.
An addition: You "glibly" repeated a common nostrum about hunter-gatherers working all day long to scrape a bit of food from the environment. In their book, "The Dawn of Humanity" David Graeber and David Wengrow go back to anthropological sources to explore the truth behind the myths of the evolution of agriculture. They find that hunter-gatherers actually spent only half their time finding (abundant) food and were rather critical of agriculture which was sometimes tried and sometimes then abandoned for long periods. Think about the food basket which was Northern California for one obvious example but Tigris/Euphrates was another.
Awesome presentation! Btw, I wish Derek did one presentation for each element in periodic table. It will be very insightful and educational to know the discovery, uses and properties of each element.
My science teacher in high school once dropped a piece of potassium in a glass container of water, and caused the same explosion seen in this video. He had dropped a piece way bigger than intended. I still remember the terror we felt till this day, 40 years later.
Yeah, my science teacher wanted to show us how we could create hydrogen gas and then to show that it was hydrogen gas by the whooping sound it makes when burning. Except by mistake he used way higher molarities than intended and thus there was glass and acid everywhere in the room when the whoop instead turned into an explosion. He was shocked. We were shocked.
@@andrewcannon587 Both are Group 1 elements, potassium being one period lower has greater atomic radius, and lower ionization energy which means it's easier for K to lose the lone outer electron than Na. Gain or lose electrons = "reaction". Potassium therefore more reactive than sodium.
Frankly, The off beat music and fast pace (or rather dramatic) effect doesn't go hand in hand with the Veritasium channel.. the more subtle tone is way better
Yeah, dislike from me. Not beacuse I'm hating, I mean it as a genuine feedback - I'm hoping Derek and the team sees something needs to be changed. It was so fast and chaotic my head wants to explode, every graphic constantly moving, shaking, also Washington and Davy are nightmare fuel with those mouths lol. Also too dramatic, quick cuts, the music, everything feels just crammed in. But here's to hoping next one will be better!
This is super interesting to me since I work for Nutrien Agriculture, the largest producer of potash in the world. They are based in Saskatchewan, and formed by a mergre of Potash Corp and Agrium. Thanks for the great video!
I think we should cut Derek some slack. He is clearly excited to be doing something he's always wanted to do, which is filmaking with a high budget. I think over time their editing style should find a good balance between "look how much this cost" and "we don't need to use all the takes".
"Potassium, along with nitrogen and phosphorus, help crops grow far larger, and makes them drought resistant." Wait, so electrolytes really are what plants crave?

There is lots of potash mining in Saskatchewan (my home province) and it was really cool to learn about the history. I had NO IDEA of the origin with burned hardwoods. I have only ever known it as a mined substance.
I hope this video is just part of a new series to attract more casual viewers and not the only direction Veritasium is going to take from now on. As a physicist, I really enjoy in-depth videos about complex concepts like relativity. These were to be the signature of Veritasium and made the channel complementary to channels like Smarter Every Day.
I want to know if there was any external funding for this glorification of a severely devastating mining practice which is destroying a lot of southern america with the US strong-arming major salt processing over there

My second cousin is a farmer, I’m a suburbanite, I hear him talk about spreading pot ash on fields over the years but I just assumed it was wood ash with other stuff mixed in, one day I looked it up and found it was a mineral and not ash. I came to this video after watching the video on Himalayan salt, great video, very informative.
i was into railroads in the 1970s and sent away to the Santa Fe for any materials they could send me. The brochure i got had a whole writeup on potash which was a very significant part of their traffix mix (like grain,lumber,coal,etc). Never did know what it was until this vid.
“mining is one of the most dangerous professions” yeah no crap. one creeper decides to blow up behind one of the miners and the whole thing lights on fire
So glad I found this video! I noticed these huge pools of - something - on Google Earth once, in the middle of a desert in China, and wondered what on Earth they could be. I mean, they were out in the middle of absolutely nowhere, with no cities, towns or habitation sites for what must have been hundreds of miles around, and they had to be enormous to show up at the altitude I was viewing from. Now I know what they are. Cheers!
If you played Minecraft you would know, that an explosion in water (either by potassium or creepers or others) does'nt destroy anything! Please educate yourself!
@@zaidrahman1398 I've been subed to Veritasium for more then a decade. Derick is a great youtuber, but this video just reeks of that same vapid corporate energy that plagues shows on TV, and that destroyed the Discovery and History channels
@@zaidrahman1398 It's not about the quality, the style of filming and commentating made the video drag a bit imo. It's the same reason I hate most documentaries.
Many others have commented on the format, I don’t have very strong feelings on that, but please rethink the shaky graphics are very hard to look at and actually see what is going on.
The constant changing of the titles makes me think that's the general consensus. Maybe the new format, the editing style and camera shake aren't pulling in as many views.
@@toasttghost some of the sections are shaky, an example being 3:07 and a lot of the paper labels do the same shaking as they show up throughout the video
Two things: One, a great novel I read once, I think it was called Destiny's Road? Was about a human colony on an alien world, that had been there so long the colonists forgot they were colonists. The downside, there was no natural potassium on this planet. The pseudo-government were the only entity that knew how to grow potassium-rich plants in the alien soil, guarded very heavily. The plants were harvested and 'speckles' were sold in shakers, like salt and pepper, that people would buy from traveling merchants to put on their food. There was even a saying, "speckle-shy", as people who couldn't afford enough speckles would often end up with developmental disabilities... Also, we learned from Borat that Kazahkstan is the world's number one exporter of potassium, right?" :P
I'm going to watch this at least 2 more times, to cement all of the ways it can be made and which version creates which composition of Potash and then how each can be used!!! AWESOME video!!! Definitely knowledge worth knowing for sure!!!
@@ItsMeooooooo pretty sure what he meant was that unlike documentaries which mostly focus on injesting information ,it also entertains in a different manner
I'm extremely happy YT has finally recognized a creator and educator dedicated and able as Veritasium, but their approach is still off IMHO. I remember the Vsauce series and to me that was far worse, but the overproduction with constantly different music, sound effects, low quality animations strip the clean and curated look of high quality RUclips and instead feels like ripping off the Discovery Channel. We're getting better but i still feel like this isn't what it's needed. You don'0t have to dress up science and mesmerize us with distracting explosions sound effects, the content is already interesting, let it shine in itself!
I agree. Veritasium on his own is great. This seemed very clickbaity, forced and unnatural. Maybe YTO had some guidance on what kind of content guaranteed retention in young audiences?
At the risk of repeating a lot of other comments, I subscribed to a different set of production values. I love the simple, conversational science that I've become accustomed to, and this new format is not something that I'm entirely comfortable with.
@@tysonion01 don't get me wrong, I get that. But that market is already mega saturated and you have 'dumb' the content down more and more to get traction in that space. This direction will totally 100% get more views and grow the channel. It just won't get the same level of information out or discussions started.
The style of the vid isn’t Dereks fault, it’s RUclips’s. He mentioned in an earlier comment he fought hard against this editing style and will try and stand his ground for the next episode.
The fact is that he still gave in. He could have asked for money via Patreon like other creators, but instead he signed up and sold his personality and channel. I know it may sound brutal but it honestly is an act of distrust towards his viewers, and a statement he is choosing to pleas the algorithm over pleasing the viewer.
This is the kind of stuff I want to study in school, only if they present it like Veritasium it would appeal to many students, this guy makes learning a fun process!
This is kind of ridiculous. Everything is over the top. Just let Derreck do his usual thing. It works. Why did RUclips have to change everything about the style just to release it as an original?
@Adrian M No, this was actually really good. Just because money and big companies are involved shouldn't change your opinion. This is Veritasium, just with better animation, better shots, better music, better quality. Do you really want to go back to old shitty youtube style videos, with garbage sound and 480p quality ? The only reason you are hating on this is because the youtube logo is on it.
I'm also wondering if part of the budget didn't come from mining companies. He explains how water is used to mine the potash safely, but no mention on how much water is used, how it impacts other uses of the river, etc. I've seen enough complains about the use of water in mining to suspect there's something left out here. And before someone jumps at me: no, I'm no concluding anything. I'm suspecting important information is left out, and without it it's impossible to form a complete picture.
@@frechjo I mean yes it does use water but who is to say it’s fresh water? And even if it does use a lot of water this process seems to be the safest and least impactful. And I still believe the environmental impact is outweighed by the food and other stuff it provides.
The dolphin training facility!! 🤣🤣 That’s what I’ve always heard these called. We see them while skydiving and BASE jumping around Moab. So glad you explained this.
Especially the explosion sound effects are really annoying me. I just want to hear what the actual explosion sounds like, why the hell add another effect on top of it
@@BigDaddyWes not at all. I am sure you can spend a pile of cash on a product that feels closer to other things he makes. This isn't what I subbed for and it feels manufactured and actually feels cheap not money wise but content wise.
@@sirhenk5910 sorry to burst you bubble but there is no such thing as slow motion explosion sounds. High speed camera's don't record high speed audio. So everything you have ever watched with sound in slow motion has been edited. So any vid of the slowmoguys is also edited to hell.

In the past I used to rely on TV for informative content just like this one. But nowaday programmes like this one are so rare I decided not to own a TV. Thank you for this marvellous piece. I hope I manage to make an English lesson based on this very material. I hope my students are going to love it as much as I did.
He's just trying to improve his production quality. I think it feels a bit jarring because we aren't used to this level of production on RUclips videos, but it's not necessarily a bad thing.
There are a few minerals sometimes isolated by open air distillation. Lithium production can involve similar ponds, with an even more elaborate pallet.
@@seth1422 Good point. That's a was we used to get a lot of our salt. Look for coastal towns ending 'pans' the lagoons where seawater was let in and closed off to evaporate.
I've seen way more of these at 17:51, still dont understand what they are lol like i understand it's something agricultural but dont understand the formation.
@@MadMadCommando RUclips is always trying to be more like TV for some reason. These shows always have good content because of the people making them, but really annoying and cliche style and presentation which makes it feel like I'm watching some dumbed down version for wide TV audiences.
While the video is amazing, I found the constant cuts around the explosions, and the broad, awe-filled, Discovery Channel-esque intro and tone of writing to be a bit distracting
@Daniel Chang " I read your bio. You’re not going to become a youtuber so sit down and go clean your room little boy." is that supposed to be an edgy reply? since when having a youtube account means that i wanna be a youtuber? Nice projecting bro haha malding ass. My og comment was: "get shat on haha xd" to the snowflake, cuz morrow's reply was just too good :shrug:
Is it just me that found this video is so much different than what veritasium video usually look like? It doesn't feel like derek would say all that..it just doesn't sound like Derek at all........not literally of course.
Amazing video! The quality is way up. The shots, the interviews and on-screen guests, the script that builds tension and invites other voices… well done sir.

I The pace is faster, but both are equally enjoyable. I'd love to see an extended version of this with the footage they got, perhaps as a slower paced, more in depth explanation of potassium. I don't think either is more "objective". They're both meant to engage and inspire people around science using a subjects innate curiosities.
I don't care if it's faster paced, but with 10 more minutes we could have a 60% more in depth explanation, I may be wrong, or maybe overheard something, but we only got only a brief explanation about everything. He wasted some minutes on buildup and animation before we got into things.
All my uncle’s and several of my cousins, on mom’s side, were miners. They made great money but their health dwindled fast. I don’t think any of them lived past 63.
I guess it was meant to appeal to an audience used to motion to grab their attention. I utterly loved it because all the little details kept me engaged - without resorting to fake-excited shouting, fake-surprised eyebrows and arm flails. It was the perfect amount of audio-visual-motion engagement for me. 👍✨
4:30 I really appreciate you're experiments. Weighing the potassium down was ingenious. When the explosion occured, all the water in the bucket was forced upward. However, instead of leaving the bucket or destroying it, the water took the bucket with it.
Gotta agree with others: love the content, hate the editing style. I like your explanations, without being bombarded with constant sound and quick cuts. It's distracting and exhausting.
I've worked briefly at the potash mine in Clavet, Saskatchewan, Canada. Incredibly corrosive substance due to the very high salt concentration in the rock. If you put a tool down anywhere on the site, it will be pitted within hours, especially on humid days. And that was in the 'above ground' operations of the site, the underground mining equipment faces those kinds of stresses even more-so.
@@Theyralltakenfu exposure to all fertilizer is pretty hazardous, but it is necessary for the most part. Phosphorus and potash are used for alfalfa and clovers and nitrogen in combination for corn and soybeans. Commercial agriculture and the lawn and garden centers along with hobby farms and wildlife conservation plantings are very likely to use these 3 fertilizers with lime to make the best use of their available areas. I'm very glad to see better and safer ways of getting next generations fed and happy. I have worked unloading trucks and rail cars of the different types of fertilizer and they are all pretty toxic and very corrosive. I was really enjoying loading the trucks up with fertilizer and seeds and looking forward to seeing the beautiful field driving home from work.
@bina nocht Napalm is an incendiary mixture of a gelling agent and a volatile petrochemical (usually gasoline (petrol) or diesel fuel). The name is a portmanteau of two of the constituents of the original thickening and gelling agents: coprecipitated aluminum salts of naphthenic acid and palmitic acid.
These are the videos I pay my internet bills for, very informative and entertaining, also value the hardwork put in...
What a compliment
These type of people are why I keep living
Yep, not for ur channel lol
Damn I pay my internet for memes lol
Such great vids the school system can revolutionize the education system if they change just a two things. Hiring the right teacher that is passionated about other learning like this guy and what you teach. It's no secret school are teaching so many useless topics that wont help you grow in life leaving other topics that are far more important like financial and what not and let me tell you, old ways dont open new doors... Education needs to change as time goes by.
Thanks RUclips! I used to be the plant engineer at this potash plant from 2004-2007. It's still owned by Intrepid Potash Inc. out of Denver. Pretty accurate in all accounts technically. The solution mining method was at first just flooding the original room and pillar underground mine. In 2005 they drilled a set of interconnected horizontal boreholes through the potash bearing strata using the same tech used for horizontal oil and gas drilling. A small point of clarification, but the majority of the evap ponds are actually sodium chloride and the KCL is separated in the plant a few miles east via an amine bubbling process. The remaining sodium saturated water is actually recycled back down the pump shafts. KCL is preferentially soluble in water and this keeps the sodium byproduct from building up. All the feed lines are kept as saturated as possible to minimize corrosion, which as you might imagine can be a big problem.
How much danger is there of the pumped liquid leaking out into the nearby river? I know fracking has dangers of introducing contaminants into the water supply, but that is often due to the fragile nature of the rock where the natural gas is present. Does the potash have a similar structure and therefore similar dangers?
you mean thank veritasium
@@PrinceKaladin - The underground solution mining is not done under pressure like hydraulic fracturing (I also spent 18 years as a petrophysicist in the oil and gas industry) so no leakage from underground to the surface water. The ponds are lined with a synthetic rubber liner and they don't scrape it clean when the harvest the evaporated product with converted road scrapers. There is a rock hard layer of salt on the bottom. That said, there is no 400 acre ponds that do not leak, and there is some from the ponds. The water flows across some less permeable rock layers under the ponds and comes out near the river. There are a series of sumps and pumps to catch and recirculate the leakage. Honestly there is not much in the way of harmful contaminants in the water. Mostly just salts and some of the CuSO4, but in very trace quantities. I used to do mass spec analysis on occasion. But it's not great to salinate the Colorado either, so yea they do the best they can but it's not perfect.
Must be pretty weird seeing a place you're familiar with in a series about mysterious locales.
Is the copper sulfate in the formation or added? That wasn't clear to me. Thanks for expanding on the chemistry.
I love how that bucket jumped all the way out of camera shot and then landed back on the table, that was so cool
That whole sequence had some pretty great accidental comedic timing.
I searched up raining indoor potassium for this and I couldn’t find this video but I found the channel and found the video on the channel.
Learn some other adjectives. Nothing cool about an explosion.
@@kenbellchambers4577 thanks for sharing your subjective opinion buddy
@@mranonymous3554 Seeing so many people brainwashed to the point of being literal monosyllabic morons is not a 'subjective analysis'. Every one wants to be a hipster. It is so cool to say 'so cool'. There are many other words in our diverse language, but it always 'cool', 'cool', 'cool' You know what is cool? A freaking dead penguin. Try some other words for a change, it doesn't hurt.
being a chemist, I may be biased, but I suspect this is one of the most important lessons Ve has produced to date. Thank you, Derek.
So proud of you, this is such a GREAT SHOW!
Don't talk to me! I am famous! Don't dislike my good good GOOD videos! Don't talk to me, dear dario
I won’t buy RUclips original
Like it
Curious.. a "show".. when i thinked this channel was all about science.
Totally agree, I like better the previous cozy style
Fascinating video. Potash is also mined at the Bonneville Salt Flats outside of Wendover, Utah, which is like this place one of the stranger landscapes you'll ever see on Earth. Looking forward to more! -John
I know this is random, but yeah. This is why America has so much ammunition.
No one asked, JOHN!
Same company as the Moab plant. They bought it while I was with the company. Obviously different process though because of no underground mining. Same amine separation process. I liked the management at the Wendover site better though!
I live in Utah but I’ve never seen these
Not to be confused with Wendover Productions
I am a 64 yr. man from Rochester, NY and I want to thank you for all that you have taught me. You're never to old to learn new things. I have spent my life composing music and I really think watching your show has made me better at it. I am happy to support your show. Your energy really drives the show. See ya!
I'm 65, we're not old. 60 is the new 50
didn't you know?
@@elcruzer6706 Really, you don't HAVE to comment.
He aint 64
Thank you for this! I'm still in my 20s and already feel like I'm too old to learn music (I never had the access/connection/proper introduction). My own brain is making me doubt myself, even when I'm aware of how wrong the thought is.
@@darksuprise1564 he actually is!
I work in oil refining in a sulfur recovery unit. I recently took a class. We learned how sulfur is essential to life, and it's just a coincidence that sulfur production from refining has increased at the same rate that the population demand for sulfur. I think this could also be an interesting subject for a video.
the production value of this is insane...
Yeah really, wow... Giving me some strong Mythbusters(?) vibes.
Yoo i used to watch ur videos
Yeah, and it makes it feel dead. Like it's some corporate mayonnaise.
I far prefer his usual style, not overloaded with 'cool' TV crap.
@@Steelrat1994 Agree. The over the top producing (music, footage, script...)makes everything so exaggerated and over acted...
Everything used to be much simpler, and that’s not bad at all.
it is insane indeed...
There’s too much Discovery Channel in my Veritasium.
? Mythbusters style I might say...
Maybe let it dry out in evaporation ponds and scrape the Veritasium off the top?
Ye, remove that TV mayonnaise from my youtube.
@@stanbinary Mythbusters was a bit more toned down and just about rode the line of bad and cheesy, but enjoyable.
I couldn't have said it better.
If Veritasium was a school there would not be a single person that hated science or maths. The way he explains with so much hard work i never wish to leave his videos unwatched.
So true. Leaders in education should take notice on how it should be done
@@TheHunter2 except the actual part of learning people hate is the repetition needed to understand a subject completely. Veritasium is a great teacher because he isn't forcing you to do the homework it takes to keep knowledge in ya brain.
Exactly schools are failing kids big time
@@Spencerjones_music3 its super sad.
I had this one math teacher who knew exactly what to say and i got straight A's.
Then i got another math teacher who was always goofing around and i got C's and D's.
One person can make such a big difference explaining the same stuff.
Cause even the same type of math gave me different grades just because of the teacher.

Just shows such a contrast on how most of these RUclips science videos have little to zero new created content and little interest in informing. Many RUclips channels are mostly parasitical, they just copy stuff to get short views.
No one talking about how freaking epic was the bucket jump.
Good thing it was plastic!
I didnt notice that my jaw was dropped for about 3 minutes after that just trying to process what i had just seen
I know!! LOVED it!!! And I can't believe how he remained relatively mild in his amusement the whole time. Every time I've done an explosion demo, I jump like 5 feet in the air and yell "OH SH**!!!!"
You are
WHY did it jump tho ?? You would expect that water rapidly blowing up should push bucket down, but instead bucket just flies after water, like rocket flying backwards, weird.
This looks like a show that would run on the Discovery channel back in the day when it was actually good. Wow, Derek this is a new level of quality!
I agree, smb
This video has such videography. The script is also very well written, in such a way that it generates curiosity to know more and more. It felt like I was watching a show on BBC or Discovery and it brings back so many memories, felt super nostalgic. Kudos to the writer, director, videographer, producer and everyone else involved in making this video, absolutely loved it!
bbc
To compare this to Discovery channel and BBC today is an insult to this video.
The difference between this video and most other Veritasium videos is ART DEPARTMENT! Models are always dope.
@@manicmartyr69 I mean, I get people are salty with the BBC for whatever political reasons they don't like but they have been at the forefront of broadcasting technology since forever. A lot of core tech that's used throughout the entire industry comes from the BBC's RnD departments from colour science to audio specs (I say this having worked as a colourist for the better part of a decade). Plus they do make some super pretty stuff. David Attenborough's shows have been the high bar for documentary film making since forever and always put a focus on pushing technology and film making forward. They might make some ropey looking scifi every now and then (looking at you Dr Who) but shows like Peaky Blinders show they can make some good looking TV when they want to. Can't say I dig Discovery's style much though. Only so many cheesy "the truth is out there" documentaries I can stomach :D
Absolutely, but what's with the weird caricature of Humphry Davy, you'd think he'd deserve some respect.
So RUclips Originals did an episode with Veritasium.
Can we have a Veritasium version please
I prefer Veritasium suspended in the middle of giant illusion attached to celing spinning and talking
yes hahaha, i want him to have a higher budget but this style of documentary video is meh compared to his usual style
So, I think this is due to the RUclips originals, but the editing and pacing of this one are in contrast with the cozy and polite Veritasium-style. I can feel a "The History Channel" vibe here, it's just odd.
Yes, because this for RUclips Original which means technically IT IS a TV show/series format
@Abhinavv Arora In this case it doesn't work. I sincerely appreciated Mindfield, because it wasn't in this TV-esque style.
@@farifairis7388 I know, but RUclips has to be different from TV. I chose it for this reason. You have to be hooked by content, not from the fancy style. Feels like you miss the message, here. Even though the content is great as always
i don't like it at all
liked it, but I would've like the show a lot more if it didn't have all that way too loud, hyper-active music and sound effects. Also, those incredibly shaky graphics and camera angles are really hard to look at.
I personally prefer the much slower pace of the usual videos, rather than this more traditional TV-like pacing. They don't need to keep their audience's attention on such a tight leash, we're all here because we like his usual videos, which are generally calmer, slower paced, and less saturated (like geez it's like the colors are screaming at me in this video). A documentary-style series would've been much more in-line with that rather than... whatever this is
When you mentioned that mining is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, it reminded me of another dangerous job. Saturation diving! I'd love to see an episode of that!
I'm a 35 years old scientist, and this is the first time I learnt that the name "potassium" came from "pot ash". One of those trivia facts which you don't really learn in education.
But what gender is the potassium and how is it oppressed?
Maybe at your school. I learned this in 6th grade.
@@walperstyle are you trying to be funny
Looked at your acc, seems like ur just a lying creep that subs tonevery woman he can find
Kazakhstan has the best potassium
Thank you Derek. As a chemist, I sort of knew about these things theoretically but you made it so real. That potassium explosion was wild. I've seen sodium hit water before but nothing like that. I once had to solve a mystery when sticks of white phosphorus (stored under water) were confused with sticks of sodium (stored under oil) and there were sudden delayed explosions as water penetrated under the oil. I heard that the DuPont Chemical company got its start during the Revolutionary war by skimming potash off of crystals from drying urine soaked soil to make gunpowder. I thought you were going there with your patent. And KCl as a fertilizer will carry along the chlorine which is a no-no on fields so how is it modified before application? Copper mines in Arizona also have beautiful blue pools of copper sulfate. Thanks for explaining the confusion in terminology between different meanings of potash. How about soda ash? I thought it's always sodium carbonate. Wonderful video!
Standard industrial process is to react KCl with NaNO3 for KNO3 and NaCl. Sodium nitrate is also mineable (chilean potash) as a naturally occurring mineral. There are some other modern routes, but this was before the Haber-Bosch process so it precludes readily available ammonia.
I wonder how they get the copper sulfate out of it once they add it in. Copper does kill algae, in fact it kills everything alive and never decompose (copper would be copper forever), so it is not something you want to spread into the environment if not necessary.
An addition: You "glibly" repeated a common nostrum about hunter-gatherers working all day long to scrape a bit of food from the environment. In their book, "The Dawn of Humanity" David Graeber and David Wengrow go back to anthropological sources to explore the truth behind the myths of the evolution of agriculture. They find that hunter-gatherers actually spent only half their time finding (abundant) food and were rather critical of agriculture which was sometimes tried and sometimes then abandoned for long periods. Think about the food basket which was Northern California for one obvious example but Tigris/Euphrates was another.
This episode is like a nat geo documentary
... But without the dry narrator.
Nah, much more History Channel
Yeah, I found it disturbing as well. Not the usual Veritasium video I signed up for
@@panda4247 I have a headache

Btw, I wish Derek did one presentation for each element in periodic table. It will be very insightful and educational to know the discovery, uses and properties of each element.

Read the disappearing spoon by Sam Kean. It is exactly that
It is not a good thing, that we re over populating.

Rober? You mean styropyro?
@@well_as_an_expert_id_say
Styropyro would get a kilo of potassium and light with a laser
@@well_as_an_expert_id_say marks also a great scientist,
My science teacher in high school once dropped a piece of potassium in a glass container of water, and caused the same explosion seen in this video. He had dropped a piece way bigger than intended. I still remember the terror we felt till this day, 40 years later.
Yeah, my science teacher wanted to show us how we could create hydrogen gas and then to show that it was hydrogen gas by the whooping sound it makes when burning. Except by mistake he used way higher molarities than intended and thus there was glass and acid everywhere in the room when the whoop instead turned into an explosion. He was shocked. We were shocked.
@@hen-rex Yeah, that was our case also. 😀
i would thought sodium would be more explosive, i see potassium is just as reactive as Na.
@@andrewcannon587 Both are Group 1 elements, potassium being one period lower has greater atomic radius, and lower ionization energy which means it's easier for K to lose the lone outer electron than Na. Gain or lose electrons = "reaction". Potassium therefore more reactive than sodium.
Our science teacher did the same thing and a small piece shot up and lodged into the drop ceiling tile and the fire dept had to be called.
Frankly, The off beat music and fast pace (or rather dramatic) effect doesn't go hand in hand with the Veritasium channel.. the more subtle tone is way better
💯
it feels exactly like an american discovery channel show
Yes
It's because it's a youtube original, so it's all TV show -ish
Yeah, dislike from me. Not beacuse I'm hating, I mean it as a genuine feedback - I'm hoping Derek and the team sees something needs to be changed. It was so fast and chaotic my head wants to explode, every graphic constantly moving, shaking, also Washington and Davy are nightmare fuel with those mouths lol. Also too dramatic, quick cuts, the music, everything feels just crammed in. But here's to hoping next one will be better!
This is super interesting to me since I work for Nutrien Agriculture, the largest producer of potash in the world. They are based in Saskatchewan, and formed by a mergre of Potash Corp and Agrium. Thanks for the great video!

Agreed. I would have liked to hear what the actual explosions sounded like.

The music is so much compressed I get a head ache, and had to stop watching.
Audio engineer: Which dials and buttons should I use?
Producer: Y E S .
The editor of this video: "I paid for the whole software and I'll use the whole software"
I think we should cut Derek some slack. He is clearly excited to be doing something he's always wanted to do, which is filmaking with a high budget. I think over time their editing style should find a good balance between "look how much this cost" and "we don't need to use all the takes".
"Potassium, along with nitrogen and phosphorus, help crops grow far larger, and makes them drought resistant."

The plants were harvested and 'speckles' were sold in shakers, like salt and pepper, that people would buy from traveling merchants to put on their food. There was even a saying, "speckle-shy", as people who couldn't afford enough speckles would often end up with developmental disabilities...
Also, we learned from Borat that Kazahkstan is the world's number one exporter of potassium, right?" :P
Editors: So, how much shaking do you want?
RUclips: *Y E S*
So annoying
Oh, and more explosions, please.
Finding this channel was one of the best things I've done for myself in a while. Thanks for all of the informative content.
A great educator, storyteller. I haven’t seen a science geek with such a brilliant story telling skill.
We owe you so much. ❤️
I'm going to watch this at least 2 more times, to cement all of the ways it can be made and which version creates which composition of Potash and then how each can be used!!! AWESOME video!!! Definitely knowledge worth knowing for sure!!!
woah, the music... feels like the worst of TV
This isn't documentary. This is a masterpiece.
If thats your true opinion, then your expectations on documentries are quite low
Kick ass no s***
@@ItsMeooooooo pretty sure what he meant was that unlike documentaries which mostly focus on injesting information ,it also entertains in a different manner
It's very practical, especially since it affects so much of our lives. Bravo.
It’s crazy the production quality you get on RUclips these days
I'm extremely happy YT has finally recognized a creator and educator dedicated and able as Veritasium, but their approach is still off IMHO.
I remember the Vsauce series and to me that was far worse, but the overproduction with constantly different music, sound effects, low quality animations strip the clean and curated look of high quality RUclips and instead feels like ripping off the Discovery Channel. We're getting better but i still feel like this isn't what it's needed. You don'0t have to dress up science and mesmerize us with distracting explosions sound effects, the content is already interesting, let it shine in itself!
you
@@NewsChannel-y4g wat
i mean
i don’t mind the high quality
i don’t think it is taking away from the content
THIS IS AN OPINION
@@AverageJoe610 for me “dumbing down” here is more noticeable than quality :|
Seems I’m getting old))
I agree. Veritasium on his own is great. This seemed very clickbaity, forced and unnatural. Maybe YTO had some guidance on what kind of content guaranteed retention in young audiences?
I like the nod to James Burke's 'Connections' series. Keep up the good work!
At the risk of repeating a lot of other comments, I subscribed to a different set of production values. I love the simple, conversational science that I've become accustomed to, and this new format is not something that I'm entirely comfortable with.
Same here.
@@WeatherManToBe YEASSS bring me my old Derek back! This is not him! They replaced him for a clone! RUclips UNORIGINALS
I don't mind it. I think the intention is to have a try reaching a larger audience with a slightly more structured approach.
@@tysonion01 don't get me wrong, I get that. But that market is already mega saturated and you have 'dumb' the content down more and more to get traction in that space.
This direction will totally 100% get more views and grow the channel. It just won't get the same level of information out or discussions started.
I like how they're just interviewing people in the middle of the desert lol
Yea
Yea
Google money brought them out there and back.
That's Dead Horse Point State Park. Near Moab. Yes, next to Canyonlands NP.
Yes, it's in the middle of a desert.
At least that guy got an interview. How about the guy making glass? They probably spent hours with him and he only got 5 seconds of screen time.
The style of the vid isn’t Dereks fault, it’s RUclips’s. He mentioned in an earlier comment he fought hard against this editing style and will try and stand his ground for the next episode.
Where is this comment btw ?
i'm not following - how can youtube force creators to edit their videos a certain way?
@@Tomas-rl5dx This series is produced by Google, who own RUclips
The fact is that he still gave in. He could have asked for money via Patreon like other creators, but instead he signed up and sold his personality and channel. I know it may sound brutal but it honestly is an act of distrust towards his viewers, and a statement he is choosing to pleas the algorithm over pleasing the viewer.
@@foorack Greed but he is lying puppet anyway so its good that ge got himself fked.
This is the kind of stuff I want to study in school, only if they present it like Veritasium it would appeal to many students, this guy makes learning a fun process!
This is kind of ridiculous. Everything is over the top. Just let Derreck do his usual thing. It works. Why did RUclips have to change everything about the style just to release it as an original?
money
It’s awful. Too much nonsense and not enough information.
@Adrian M No, this was actually really good. Just because money and big companies are involved shouldn't change your opinion. This is Veritasium, just with better animation, better shots, better music, better quality. Do you really want to go back to old shitty youtube style videos, with garbage sound and 480p quality ?
The only reason you are hating on this is because the youtube logo is on it.
I'm also wondering if part of the budget didn't come from mining companies.
He explains how water is used to mine the potash safely, but no mention on how much water is used, how it impacts other uses of the river, etc. I've seen enough complains about the use of water in mining to suspect there's something left out here.
And before someone jumps at me: no, I'm no concluding anything. I'm suspecting important information is left out, and without it it's impossible to form a complete picture.
@@frechjo I mean yes it does use water but who is to say it’s fresh water? And even if it does use a lot of water this process seems to be the safest and least impactful. And I still believe the environmental impact is outweighed by the food and other stuff it provides.
"I'm surrounded by rocks, and landforms, and... this scrub." [looks at my reflection]
"I don't want no scrub, a scrub is a guy that can get no love from me..."
*closes helmet* KEEP FIRING, SCRUBS!
@@Nemozoli no pigeon either
The shaking of the animations hurts my head
The dolphin training facility!! 🤣🤣
That’s what I’ve always heard these called. We see them while skydiving and BASE jumping around Moab. So glad you explained this.
😂😂😂 Yes!
They are beautiful in contrast to the red rock all around. Just need some majestic dolphins hopping from pool to pool.
I never really realized how annoying "TV Style" editing like this was until I stopped watching TV.
Especially the explosion sound effects are really annoying me. I just want to hear what the actual explosion sounds like, why the hell add another effect on top of it
So what you're saying is you prefer a smaller production budget?
@@BigDaddyWes not at all. I am sure you can spend a pile of cash on a product that feels closer to other things he makes. This isn't what I subbed for and it feels manufactured and actually feels cheap not money wise but content wise.
yeah, if could be edited without that 'TV' attitude and result in a much better video.
@@sirhenk5910 sorry to burst you bubble but there is no such thing as slow motion explosion sounds. High speed camera's don't record high speed audio. So everything you have ever watched with sound in slow motion has been edited. So any vid of the slowmoguys is also edited to hell.
Veritasium was special for how real and human it felt :(

@@davidpadilla1354 you must be very fun at parties
It’s a kids show now. Hey let’s show the explody thing 5 times
Really? I hope you don't drive or operate heavy machinery if you're distracted by some background music or fancy editing.
Although I appreciate the effort that went in this, I like the usual slower paced and more objective Veritasium video MUCH more..
more objective?
Feel this video was a bit overdeveloped if that makes sense
@@broughtonmark8 i gotcha. Fair enough
I The pace is faster, but both are equally enjoyable. I'd love to see an extended version of this with the footage they got, perhaps as a slower paced, more in depth explanation of potassium.
I don't think either is more "objective". They're both meant to engage and inspire people around science using a subjects innate curiosities.
I don't care if it's faster paced, but with 10 more minutes we could have a 60% more in depth explanation, I may be wrong, or maybe overheard something, but we only got only a brief explanation about everything. He wasted some minutes on buildup and animation before we got into things.
Who built all of the models and props for this?! Holy sh*t the quality is phenomenal! No wonder TV is dying! 👍
Outstanding video, Derek, as always. Fun to learn, interesting topic, and expertly narrated. Well done.
Love this. Fascinating content.
Editing was a bit over-the-top though. Much prefer the typical "tell it like it is" style.
Nicely said.
All my uncle’s and several of my cousins, on mom’s side, were miners. They made great money but their health dwindled fast. I don’t think any of them lived past 63.
Extractive Industries are misery for all in the long run.
The editing quality of this video is really distracting. The topic was awesome thought.
extremely so, to the point i paused it and decide to just do my own research.
Incredibly overproduced. Way too much.
For me it was the big toothy smiles they put on the cut-outs of Davy and Washington.
I guess it was meant to appeal to an audience used to motion to grab their attention.
I utterly loved it because all the little details kept me engaged - without resorting to fake-excited shouting, fake-surprised eyebrows and arm flails. It was the perfect amount of audio-visual-motion engagement for me. 👍✨
4:30 I really appreciate you're experiments. Weighing the potassium down was ingenious. When the explosion occured, all the water in the bucket was forced upward. However, instead of leaving the bucket or destroying it, the water took the bucket with it.
The steel table bent downwards at first and then it rebounded sharply. I think that is what launched the bucket.
@@carabela125 experiment must now be tried on the ground.
@@eustacebagge7831 haha, yes ! that might break the bucket !
Gotta agree with others: love the content, hate the editing style. I like your explanations, without being bombarded with constant sound and quick cuts. It's distracting and exhausting.
I've worked briefly at the potash mine in Clavet, Saskatchewan, Canada. Incredibly corrosive substance due to the very high salt concentration in the rock. If you put a tool down anywhere on the site, it will be pitted within hours, especially on humid days. And that was in the 'above ground' operations of the site, the underground mining equipment faces those kinds of stresses even more-so.
Thank you, that's a very interesting addition to the video. This whole documentary left mi in awe wanting to know more.
I can't imagine what that must do to peoples bodies.
@@Theyralltakenfu exposure to all fertilizer is pretty hazardous, but it is necessary for the most part.
Phosphorus and potash are used for alfalfa and clovers and nitrogen in combination for corn and soybeans.
Commercial agriculture and the lawn and garden centers along with hobby farms and wildlife conservation plantings are very likely to use these 3 fertilizers with lime to make the best use of their available areas. I'm very glad to see better and safer ways of getting next generations fed and happy.
I have worked unloading trucks and rail cars of the different types of fertilizer and they are all pretty toxic and very corrosive. I was really enjoying loading the trucks up with fertilizer and seeds and looking forward to seeing the beautiful field driving home from work.
That's scary!
Could you feel anything in your skin or eyes, especially on humid days or was it limited to metal/tools?
@bina nocht Napalm is an incendiary mixture of a gelling agent and a volatile petrochemical (usually gasoline (petrol) or diesel fuel). The name is a portmanteau of two of the constituents of the original thickening and gelling agents: coprecipitated aluminum salts of naphthenic acid and palmitic acid.
Something weird in the Utah desert? Must be one of Cody’s mines
AHAHHAA YEAH XD
Ah damn... we have been discovered!
Something weird in Utah? Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?????????????
@@Fred_the_1996 its a joke XD
@@Metal_Master_YT i, too, was making a joke about utah as a whole. My point being, Utah itself is a pretty weird place. Yare yare daze
I have a brand new and deep respect for Potash now!!!! I had no idea of it's importance. Looking forward to other videos from you. Thank you!!
