If you take requests then I want to see you make some sort of peroxide, perhaps diethyl ether peroxide since you already have made the ether. Then show us how reactive it actually is ^^
We've made HMTD in the past. I've considered attempting some ether peroxide (possibly diisopropyl instead of diethyl), but we WON'T be making any acetone peroxide. If everything goes to plan, though, the next few videos will be about rocketry.
We have conducted a similar experiment where we drop a chunk of calcium carbide into a chlorine-generating reaction of mixed sodium hypochlorite and hydrochloric acid. I would imagine it being much more dramatic if liquid chlorine was used instead of an aqueous solution
We did a quick experiment to see if kerosene would react at all with with the liquid chlorine, but there was no visible reaction under our conditions. There really is no practical way for amateurs to store liquid chlorine, so we let the crucible containing the liquid to evaporate outside.

An awesome but insane experiment is to put calcium carbide in Cl2(l) and add a drop of water

@NOCOMPLACENCYCOM- Thank you very much! If there's anything specific you'd like to see us do in the future, let us know and we'll consider it!
