Honestly, the biggest thing I’ve taken away from this channel is the stir bar, I love it an unreasonable amount, the way you just throw it in and it SPINS, amazing.
The bar itself is just a magnet coated in Teflon. The spinning motion comes from a spinning magnet in the hot plate underneath that it lines up with when you toss it in. My favorite part of stir bars is how you can easily fish them out using another bigger magnet.
@@juliashirokova8374 now ask him how magnets work and you'll find out "magic" was actually the right answer, basically (there's also another deeper solution that says it's because of spin, but ask what spin is and again, you'll get "magic")
Since it smells faintly fruity and sweet, you could put it in a subtle but decorative bottle with a light pink ribbon around the neck. Call it "NilePink".
If you add Isoamyl Acetate (ester found in bananas and pears) and Vanillin, as well as a spicier top note (such as bergamot), you'd have a well-balanced and sweet perfume that would be cheap to manufacture, and last a while when applied. The end resulting perfume should evoke such a generic "pleasant" response, that it wouldn't have to be any particular season to get full mileage out of it. In fact, it would be the kind of fragrance that would also serve well in body wash or laundry detergent. Two additional variants to this base could veer it into additional applications: 1. A small amount of jasmine extract would smooth it all out and make a wonderful scent for women's deodorant; 2. Instead of jasmine, adding cardamom extract would make an excellent scent for lotion, as the high volatility of cardamom could carry the end scent through the muddling that a lotion base provides. Basically, any kind of scent which is notable but vague, is perfect to build a scent base around, as it guarantees a specific quality (sweetness in this case) that will always show through even as other scents are layered on top (as long as you don't overdo it). Castoreum also fits this description (sweet, mildly nutty), as does moss (woody, earthy). Perfumery is such an interesting study and hobby...at least to me.

My mom introduced me to chemistry at age 8 to encourage any and all of my interests. So I asked her to show me how to make a stink bomb! No problem, all that was required was iron and sulphur. Since you mention stinky 'perfumes' this is derived from the rotten egg smell. The yoke contains sulphur, and oxidation with iron results in FeS. (En Français Fesses translates to A$$). And this is how every year she would introduce me to yet another discipline. (She was a University Professor). At 7, biology, at 8 Chemistry, at 9 Electronics. And the rest is history.

NileRed is such a gifted chemist. I am absolutely fascinated by chemistry and Nile does such an incredible job at explaining everything he does. Thank you for the awesome content!!
Gifted? More like interested, dedicated, and hard working. You don’t have to be magically smart or lucky to do something cool or know a lot about a subject
What you expect chemistry to be: Add precisely this amount of this to precisely this amount of that and heat to precisely this temperature. This: Idk man throw in some drain cleaner and collect the stuff with a balloon or something.
It really depends. Inorganic chemistry is pretty much just throwing your ingredients together in the right order and hoping that you got your measurements right. (Excluding anything that involves fluorine and most things that involve nitrogenous chems) Organic chemistry is measuring everything precisely a dozen times and still somehow having everything explode.
“This isn’t really much of an issue though, because with chemistry we can often just disregard nature and build the molecules ourselves,” carries with it an air of industrial hubris that comes with our modern society that equally terrifies me and gets me hard.
Don't you think this is how the old school chemists used to do it? I can just see the old botanists and chemists in the 1800's being like this man. You'd have a contemporary of Albert Einstein saying to his class " stand back this could spontaneously ignite but anyway!"
@@paysonfox88 We had a joke about our old school chemistry professor at my university. Why doesn't diethyl ether explode when prof. Rachoń distills it while smoking a cigarette? Because it's afraid to do so.

Hehehe I know it is frustrating but it's pretty hard to get high yields depending on the reaction. He also does some really sensitive chemistry without proper, pure chemicals. This is what amateur chemistry is all about! One wants the perfect mix of ambient and chemicals, what is pretty hard to get when you are a common guy like him, you or me. He is already "lucky" to be able to buy things from Sigma, he must have his "contacts" if you know what I mean since they only sell to corporations. So even the low yields can be impressive considering all the stuff he lacks.
I started watching him before i really took any chem courses, but now i am, and as i learn more i slowly understand more and more! its kinda fun and tests my knowlage (though im not even close to understanding everything of course)
I think I might try this way. Lol 'Cept I might drink it too if I use vodka instead of rubbing alcohol. Lol Mmm, taste kinda fruity, tastes kinda like burning.
I think the paste is because people like to add red food coloring to make it look like lava, just guessing though. I have a volcano made of I think clay that I did it with, I might try it again since I forgot whether I had a paste or not, I think I remember it being a powder, it’s been months since I’ve done it maybe even a year ago. Sorry for th3 long comment
This was like the very first time i got to see his face and DUDE, he looks a LOT younger than he hears! I was expecting a guy like 35 or so but to see a roughly teen to tweny guy knowing that much of chemistry and being able to teach that well just blows my mind! Keep it up with the good content!
I'm a perfumer and an aspiring flavorist, let me know if you ever want to do a video together or something! I have a stock of about 1000 aromas chems and essential oils. Yeah raspberry ketone isn't super strong on it's own, but it can dominate a fragrance pretty easily! It's definitely very different from real raspberries.
Whatever is in Inawera's raspberry flavors is scary strong..I do know that. In eliquid production there's literally two maybe 3 that anyone can handle and you can only use so much. That's my only intro into flavors/fragrances, eliquid, but it definitely opened my eyes to a world I never knew about. It's super interesting too.
Same here! I love the stuff, i made some super juicy base with rasp ketone, manzanate, melonal, oxane, AAG, paradisamide, cis3hexenyl acetate and bergamote eo. I was so happy to actually know what molecules he was talking about haha
Where did I leave that cyanide? Has anyone seen the draino? When is the highly volatile red liquid coming in? All things that sound very concerning but are probably said by chemists more than you would expect
Even if I don't perfectly understand everything (it's been a looong time since I've taken a chemistry class!), I find I thoroughly enjoy watching you make all of these amazing things from "ingredients" I wouldn't expect. Never stop being adventurous, curious, and awesome, Nigel! 😊💚
I clicked this video thinking it would mostly be about perfume making but got an interesting lesson in chemistry. Really brought me back to chemistry class in high school which was always interesting but super head-scratching. Thanks for the video!
I think most people watching these gradually learn little bits and pieces, i mean I dont know how to do any of this myself, but he breaks it down far enough that i understand what he is doing in every step.
That was friggin' awesome, great work! I'm a hobbyist perfumer myself, so I thought it was pretty cool to see how some of my favorite materials are made. If you want to want to make that into a more robust raspberry smell, I would suggest adding small amounts of linalool, limonene, and beta-pinene. Ethyl 6-acetyloxyhexanoate (Berryflor) can also go a long way in bringing out the fresh raspberry smell. Use small amounts at low dilution (1-10% is pretty standard. I'd start with the 1%, so you don't accidentally overwhelm your mixture). That 95% etyhyl alcohol you have is perfect as a solvent; if you added a small touch of Bitrix (denatonium benzoate) to it, you'd have standard perfumer's alcohol.
What I like best about NileRed's videos is he's so brilliant he's not afraid to show you where things don't go perfectly according to plan. And because he's such a good chemist you know that it's the inherent difficulty of the process, not a deficiency in the one performing it.
Soapie Detergent ya that’s why I add rat poison to my lemon aid for my gf but I added it in small amounts also we got use to it I’m working on making Mercury meatloaf next
Oh man. I work for a company that produce synthetic flavors. Our lab (one of a few on site), is specifically tasked with working out which chemicals in a given substance contribute to the (perceived) smell in air. I'm only in my first year in this job and already I've learnt that there can be easily a dozen chemicals that contribute to a smell. Or as Nile said, just a couple or even one can do the job. Such an interesting part of chemistry. I come to this channel to have a relaxed look at the great range of experiments held here and it's always a humorous and well produced show. Many props to the team. (Edit: grammar x2)
I’m always mesmerized by the color changing in these videos. The yellow, red-orange, and bright green liquid all being from the same thing is so cool to me, but I’m horrible at chemistry so I’ll never really “get it”.
This was very similar to an experiment my class did in college. Generally we noticed that the groups that produced the most vibrant scents, were the ones who seemed to put in the least effort. In your next batch try washing the components less. The consensus was: This is why the slackers produced a "better" product.
Hello NR, I would like to make an investigation request. This is not related to the red raspberry chem, but related to bird chem. Many bird owners such as myself have noticed what we call the "wet bird" smell. It seems that when water is added to a bird, there is a aromatic change (not offensive per say, bit noticeable and very distinct). It lasts only as long as the bird is wet. Now, I know that birds excrete their own kind kind of "talcum powder" that they use to lubricate their wings so that they slide smoothly with less less friction, and I suspect that it is this that is reacting with the water. But this is only my guess. Might be worth an investigation, and I'm sure bird owners would find it interesting. Thanks for your videos.

I started watching him before i really took any chem courses, but now i am, and as i learn more i slowly understand more and more! its kinda fun and tests my knowlage (though im not even close to understanding everything of course)
I'm a chemistry major that is currently in Organic Chemistry. What he's saying is connecting about 85% of the time

How I thought making Raspberry perfume were/ Alcohol, Raspberries, blender, coffee filter.
the smell would be closer but it would probably end up sticky and gross on your skin
Soken50 vodka would cut some of the stickiness.
I think I might try this way. Lol
'Cept I might drink it too if I use vodka instead of rubbing alcohol. Lol
Mmm, taste kinda fruity, tastes kinda like burning.

nile: i could be bad at chemistry
me who can barely even make a vinegar and baking soda reaction: 👁👄👁
I can definitely make them react. I just can't get that paste that everyone talks about. It always ends up sizzling away
I think the paste is because people like to add red food coloring to make it look like lava, just guessing though. I have a volcano made of I think clay that I did it with, I might try it again since I forgot whether I had a paste or not, I think I remember it being a powder, it’s been months since I’ve done it maybe even a year ago.

Vinegar and baking soda react no matter what you do, so if you are saying they didn't react, than one of them wasn't what you thought it was 😁
maybe try muriatic acid + chlorine bleach instead. it's often a lot easier to get started, and reacts for longer. see how well you can get it to react

Yeah raspberry ketone isn't super strong on it's own, but it can dominate a fragrance pretty easily! It's definitely very different from real raspberries.
Whatever is in Inawera's raspberry flavors is scary strong..I do know that. In eliquid production there's literally two maybe 3 that anyone can handle and you can only use so much. That's my only intro into flavors/fragrances, eliquid, but it definitely opened my eyes to a world I never knew about. It's super interesting too.

That was friggin' awesome, great work! I'm a hobbyist perfumer myself, so I thought it was pretty cool to see how some of my favorite materials are made.
If you want to want to make that into a more robust raspberry smell, I would suggest adding small amounts of linalool, limonene, and beta-pinene. Ethyl 6-acetyloxyhexanoate (Berryflor) can also go a long way in bringing out the fresh raspberry smell. Use small amounts at low dilution (1-10% is pretty standard. I'd start with the 1%, so you don't accidentally overwhelm your mixture). That 95% etyhyl alcohol you have is perfect as a solvent; if you added a small touch of Bitrix (denatonium benzoate) to it, you'd have standard perfumer's alcohol.
Very cool information!
in other words, just buy raspberry ketones powder and mix is with 95% ethanol.

What I like best about NileRed's videos is he's so brilliant he's not afraid to show you where things don't go perfectly according to plan. And because he's such a good chemist you know that it's the inherent difficulty of the process, not a deficiency in the one performing it.

Your experiment just showed me that chemistry as taught is two dimensional while there is definitely a third dimension to it!

Oh man. I work for a company that produce synthetic flavors. Our lab (one of a few on site), is specifically tasked with working out which chemicals in a given substance contribute to the (perceived) smell in air. I'm only in my first year in this job and already I've learnt that there can be easily a dozen chemicals that contribute to a smell. Or as Nile said, just a couple or even one can do the job. Such an interesting part of chemistry. I come to this channel to have a relaxed look at the great range of experiments held here and it's always a humorous and well produced show. Many props to the team. (Edit: grammar x2)
i want to work somewhere like where you work! im in semester 2 of orgo. any tips?

This was very similar to an experiment my class did in college. Generally we noticed that the groups that produced the most vibrant scents, were the ones who seemed to put in the least effort. In your next batch try washing the components less. The consensus was: This is why the slackers produced a "better" product.

Hello NR, I would like to make an investigation request.
This is not related to the red raspberry chem, but related to bird chem.
Many bird owners such as myself have noticed what we call the "wet bird" smell.
It seems that when water is added to a bird, there is a aromatic change (not offensive per say, bit noticeable and very distinct).
It lasts only as long as the bird is wet.
Now, I know that birds excrete their own kind kind of "talcum powder" that they use to lubricate their wings so that they slide smoothly with less less friction, and I suspect that it is this that is reacting with the water. But this is only my guess.
Might be worth an investigation, and I'm sure bird owners would find it interesting.
Thanks for your videos.
Wo
I can see it now. New perfume: Parrots in the Rain Forest by Louis Viutton. Really actually smells like a chicken coop after a thunderstorm.
This is strangely so understandable. Not as bad as wet dog, but a bird's own genre of it
Take bird and add random amount of ethanol. He'll get it figured out.
