    Chemistry time, yes backyard science, also Nilered. Nile red? this is maybe a tag thing. clout time.
    A big thank you to Patreons for the support as always, and for sticking with me even though I've said I'm abandoning everyone like a moron. You are all the best:

    A big thankyou to Daniel and Georgia for helping out with this video too, helping me make a video quicker than I ever have before (even though I think it shows, but sometimes you just gotta finish something and put it out, oh well). Especially amazing the Daniel was in the 2011 footage and in the 2021 footage, it's nearly 10 years apart and I'm still making bad chemistry videos but he's still happy to help out and I think that's very cool, you are a good friend.

    Keeping glass away from explosives is definitely a good idea. I once had some glassware that had carbon on it and chromic acid wouldn't shift it so I and another (who shall remain nameless) made what turned into dimanganese heptoxide and it wasn't really happy at having so many oxygens around it so it got rid of some of them, as it tends to, and around six months later, we realised that we weren't shouting to each other any more. I wrote about this in the book Let the Devil Wear Black, writing under the name James F Linden. A few years later, I took the trouble to learn British Sign language in case something catastrophic happened with my hearing. basically, it was in a double fume cupboard with a glass dividing wall and we never found any of that divider - we think it just powdered. I had glass in my hand and I still carry glass around inside me over 40 years later.

    When I was young (about 45 years ago) we used to make "Touch Powder" by mixing Cloudy Ammonia with Iodine Crystals to make a wet paste.
    We would then put drops of it on the driveway so when dad reversed out they would detonate and scare the crap outta him, which was fun, but getting the flogging from him for doing it, wasn't so much fun.. but ya live n learn.

    Just want to clarify something:
    Nitrogen Trichloride didn't assassinate Michael Faraday, it was his mentor Sir Humphrey Davy. Though they were both still injured by it later. In fact, with the amount of damage it caused to Davy, it was the actual cause for Faraday to become his sort of handyman and assistant.
    But the greatest example of Nitrogen Trichloride lethality was to its founder, Pierre Louis Dulong, who lost two fingers and blinded one eye to it.

    Our science teacher Mr Clarke made 'touchpowder' with us at the end of 4th year (Australia in the 1970s).
    We dried it in the lab room on filter paper and before it became dangerous, took it outside put the paper on the ground and walked on it.
    As the paste dried on the sole of our shoes it went off with a crackle and pop.

    I think the worst part of Tom getting screwed by the algorithm is that none of these explosives are even useful for anything nefarious.

The goal of which is to keep at a ratio of 1-5ppm. then i worked at an olympic pool and we would just have to ignore that because would have so many patrons (pissy kids) in the summer that if we kept it at 5ppm it would all be depleted within one or two hours. So uh yeah being indoors watching a pissy pool for nearly a decade and having my eyes nose and skin feel like they were dragged through a salt bed was an experience to say the least. the smell stuck to me for a week+ after i would leave for school each semester.
