His voice does sound like Brian

[AlchemysticAudio]

Your voice sounds a lot like the Brain.

[dotcombatgames]

you can chop a car in half with it =)

what? in spanish please ¡¡¡¡

[mtdeezy]

i wish he was my science teacher

[ajamison3]

I wish I had a chemistry teacher that did as much demo as you it would have made chemistry alot more interesting

[iRHAPEzombiies]

I wish are school would teach this kind of stuff, we'd actually LIKE going to school to learn this. But no they think book work and playing with helium is more safe.

[bigddog11]

@iRHAPEzombiies u need to learn the english lunguage! Are school???? dont u mean our school and at the end of sentence more safe???? u mean safer! stick to the books the last thing someone like u needs is thermite

[iRHAPEzombiies]

@bigddog11 at least I can spell bud, you can't even spell language or you.

[beastabuelos]

what would happen if the thermite when into a collection of liquid nitrogen? would the reaction be violent? or would it just make the nitrogen boil and return to a gas more quickly?

[aaronakeller]

@beastabuelos: I've never tried it. I suspect it would cause the liquid nitrogen to explosively vaporize. Now, that would be exciting. But I wouldn't want to be standing anywhere near it.

[justchen563]

@aaronakeller i'd imagine some kind of exposion... if you put a ton of thermite on a block of ice, it explodes. check out mythbusters

[samh09]

@beastabuelos sounds like a job for The Mythbusters.

[starshock01]

weld underwater? never heard that before...hmmm possibilites

[Fgonzo95]

Who else has been watching thermite burn for a whole hour

[yuki953]

me.... xD

[david10291029]

@Fgonzo95

ME

[Acrylicbeast]

@Fgonzo95 me!

[nubeldorf]

This is the kind of teaching that keeps students interested. Good to see it's still happening in the overly PC, lawyer ridden society.

[rhubis]

I've done this in a science room, I was chatting with my teacher (my biology teacher by the way) and the conversation got onto thermite and he says "why not make that now?" and sure enough a minute later we have the flowerpot set up on the desk (above a tray of sand for safety)

[TubeStories]

Wow... really some experiment. I don't think I would want to try this "at home" :)

[ShortGuy1792]

I wish my teacher was that much fun.

[ajohnson153]

wow I was thinking this was going to be some future darwin award winner of a teacher igniting thermite inside. Pretty cool demo though

[Strikerklm96]

I have read that it gets 4000 Degrees +

[rogueguineapig]

You are the coolest Chem teacher ever!

[thomas242007]

i so wanna try this

[techguy33]

rust some iron , put it in alumium and ignite it

[passyourdrugtest]

ignite it away from everything flammable you cant put it out.

[darthjeff3]

sweet im gana use this to heat up metal to use in molds, or use it to weld, but ill have to figure out a way to make it weld...

[Snakeuserorochi]

it does weld a matter of fact. its what they use to weld rail road tracks together.

[Damaruth]

Really nice explanations
