"Thunder in a Test tube" with Ethanol and Acetone

IMPORTANT:
All content here meant to be Educational,None of the above experiment should be repeated on your own.

This reaction is called "Thunder in a Test tube", sometimes "Testube Thunderstorm", simply becuase internal combustions of ethanol ,acetone (or other similar flammable organic liquid), producing sound, light similar to that of lightning, and the unexpectable result of it.

if its not meant to be repeated then why the hell are you giving a tutorial how to do it!? this gets me pissed off because now thats another experiment i wont get to perform because its "too dangerous to be repeated" you might as well just post a t the end of the video "hahahahahahah you stupid idiot look at the fun i got to have with this experiment while you cant because i said its too dangerous"

real bummer man

[Cforchemistry]

If you have such kind of mindset, you can never get it done.

It is only a disclaimer as I can't assume all people understand the principle and procedure in this experiment. I didn't mean it is not repeatable because it is dangerous, you only assume.

And this is NOT a tutorial, it is a demo. Innocent guy such as you will not get this done because of your attitude.

Great choice to have side by side comparisons --It really adds to understanding how different outcomes can be, with the tiniest of differences!

[Cforchemistry]

Difference is quite critical in this experiment, hence a put them togather : )

must get my chemistry teaacher to let us do that!!!

BTW the top right test tube reminded me of watching an artillery barrage through haze and smoke

[fordag1]

The top right test tube was my favorite.

[M0L]

agree

[loltehinternet]

It evokes the same feelings watching a real thunderstorm does... cool video.

[imaginarythings]

That is so cool~That really looked like lightning!!!~5*****'s and more!!!
