Exploding Balloons - Propane Sli-Mad Sci

[thewii552]

why have there been no new vids on the subject like was said?

[sykon5]

what?? did you do somthing like this inside your garage!!??

[Raxilla]

Cool. So are you going to be doing everything the traditional disclaimer tells you not to try at home?

As for the video. An observation I was able to ascertain was that the explosion was slightly different than I had anticipated it to be. It seems the gas dropped just a bit before it was ignited by the spark. I figured the gas would have risen instead.

[Raxilla]

Any comparisons to Adam Savage yet?

[TheRealVerbz]

:o)

[arloj]

"A splodey face is a sad face". Awesome.

[H33LYcRaZeD]

You're freakin' awesome

[BAZHE]

love it

[Desitara1]

My god u might have burnt a lota of houses while u experiment ... lol

[Maleblade]

Do you think you could use an Areogel matrix filled with hydrogen

and see what happens.

I an curious.

[TaoOfPooh26]

@Maleblade If I have the ability someday to make an aerogel block for that purpose, I'll let you know.

[Maleblade]

@TaoOfPooh26

Thanks! :)

[applesweeter]

How do you have the spark to ignite the balloon? By a broken or by a high-voltage discharge.

[TaoOfPooh26]

@applesweeter By a HV discharge. 15000 v 60 ma. To ensure it not only breaks the baloon, but thoroughly ignites the gas.

[applesweeter]

@TaoOfPooh26

What equipments (hardware) is required to high-voltage discharge.

I mean what equipment did you deployed?

[Awwa1]

That ROCKED! I love how the balloon is all like, "POP! I'm outta here!" gone! Then it's just the ball of now exposed gas, becoming ignited from your fire source! Excellent! More! I must have more explosions! Be well.

Peace,

\A/

[Sk1ll3rum0m]

Cool, glad you messaged me about your channel. Some interesting stuff!

[gregsmetalworks]

How many houses have you burned down?

[TaoOfPooh26]

None. Sorry to disappoint, eh?

I've actually been doing stuff like this for over 20 years. No injuries and no loss of personal property during that time.

[v2keener]

Most excellent. For a game developer or movie maker, this would make a perfect little sample of flames (not that they haven't pretty much perfected the way they do that--e.g. the latest Harry Potter movie).

[bamboo4tameshigiri]

Try acetylene/oxygen @ 75/25. WEAR EAR PLUGS.

[TaoOfPooh26]

Have before, will again, and will be filmed, not to worry.

[saken]

Nice. You could make some really valuable stock footage of flames if you setup the background.

[SuperTwit]

Do a Acetylene and Oxygen gas mixture in a balloon, I'd like to see that.

[warhawkpro]

that was awesome!

[AlienScientist]

Nice! Acetylene also works pretty well...

[GermanSniperBayArea]

*claps* very nice!!

[Chrisfm94]

that was good!

[JackpotDen]

a merry awesomemas to you too.

[7025730168]

nice video i will definately add u!

[Forestfirefilms605]

it was entertaning big boom

[TheWildAssCopyCat]

That was pretty entertaining, love the slowmo... Try argon gas, it will make a bang...

^..^

[Gokumarathon]

5/5 stars. :>

[IWILLBETHEDREAMOFALL]

5*****

Amazing!

[Andrey230]

WoW Impressive

[goldenphoenixnaruto]

-gigglesnort- I was watching this video with my headphones on, and when the music started playing I laughed and my grandmother gave me a funny look. Then I showed her the video and she was like, "O_o"

Fire is way more pretty when in slow-mo =D

[genshouthedeliverer]

That bike was TOTALLY ignoring safety protocols by standing so close to the experiment without a heat-resistant apron.

Good to see some more slightly mad science happening. You, sir, are completely insane! :D AHAHAHAHAHA PROPANE~

[Jghalpin]

Dude! I've missed your slighty mad science! Also Happy holidaze :D

[gir489]

WOW WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!

[Mycatisbigfoot]

its been like 3 years? WOW glad you are back

[JoshuaOndo]

YESSSSSSS NEW VIDEO!

[GunnarAztek]

weeeelcome back, and happy holidays to you too!

[azorian7135]

iv burt my face with a can of butane a year ago i was in a burn unit for like 2-3 weeks 2nd and 3rd degree burns on my face worst pain ever

[HighVoltageScience]

NST I SEE. I have 24 1gal tanks of nitrous oxide. Well my mom dose. Maybe i could seek one with out her knowing. Garbage bag full of NOS = Day time.

[donovanlau]

i think your bike was dangerously stupid because it was close to the baloon

[TaoOfPooh26]

Heh. That isn't my bike.

[Surhotchaperchlorome]

Hence, you earned yourself another subscriber. :)

[Surhotchaperchlorome]

Yes! :D

Explosions = win.

[morto360]

welcome back!!!  love ur videos!!!!!!!

[shanedk]

Yay! The Slightly Mad Scientist is back! What a great Christmas present!

[holycrapapie]

Stop the internet, He's back!

cool balloon-bomb-high-fps-thing!

[DonHoraldo]

correction the gas isn't explosive. it's just flammable.

that said glad to see your back. frankly I wish you weren't and instead showing up Mr. Wizard, Bill Nye, and (cringe) Beakman on national T.V. but I'll settle for this.

[TaoOfPooh26]

the distinction is splitting hairs, IMO.

The main difference between "explosive" and "flammable" is rate of reaction. A pile of gunpowder on the floor burns more slowly than the propane did. But pack it into a sealed cardboard tube, and it goes bang.

That said, I'd love to break into tv. I've had some close calls, but nothing yet. Maybe someday.

[DonHoraldo]

key difference is if the substance will react with just it's self. get propane up to 1,000C with no oxygen and it will not create flames. in opposition explosive compounds require no external oxygen just the oxidizing or halogen compound in them. this is a big difference.

[PinkFloyd10]

great to see your back! Nice vid as always! What new camera did you get?

[TaoOfPooh26]

Casio Exilim EX-F1

[PinkFloyd10]

nice choice

[prupsicle]

300FPS, pretttttty slick

[Vakrian]

w00t your back!
