That was a terrible video. We had to sit through all the prep, just to be denied the ending. It's a bloody commercial. I'll never get that minute and a half back.
even the small amount of info about CsOH in Wikipedia is interesting:) it can etch through glass and such:) i was so weak at chemistry and now i love it... how come? I was good at physics as long as it didnt came too close to chemistry though:)
i was just woundering why you would use so little Cs when for the same price you could probebly buy a ton of potassium or sodium. wouldent that be a more impresive bang?
with K (potassium for some reading this) the "bang" might be bigger but less force its to do with the amount used, if you want to see a bigger boom look up Frankieum (i think thats what its called and if it is thats how it maybe spelt) about a gram of that stuff would take out a car or mini bus
look at VX gas (AKA Purple Possum in the UK military) it was made by a student in London, was sold as pesticide then was classed as a weapon of mass destruction
Next time you guys are going to do an explosion video, do a collection. 5 or ten bucks from 1000 people would buy a LOT of cesium. (your channel has 15,000 subscribers, getting a few thousand bucks would not be hard)
i would not waste $40 on one gram of cesium to compare it to one gram RDX. i was just replying to a stupid comment that said cesium is like C4 (composed mostly of RDX) RDX has a VERY high explosive velocity. cesium would compare (if anything) to black powder. if you would like to buy me 1 gram of cesium i would compare it to 1 gram of RDX for you, and post the video on my channel.
Why not put the caesium in a container submerged under the water and then flood the container. That way the it wouldn't be able to do that thing where it just kind of skims along the surface...
@rochelimit55555: We'd love one, but run on a tight budget! We did have this reaction recorded from three angles though, so you'll get a reasonable look.
what a pitty, just half of the video. fail.

They're not very well prepared. That's the wrong type of fire extinguisher. It's a CO2 extinguisher - useless for this type of experiment.
CO2 actually fuels alkali metal fires. It doesn't extinguish them.
Spraying CO2 at burning caesium would be like spraying oxygen at it.
