    I think Chuck Palahniuk deliberately wrote an incorrect recipe to create napalm so that whoever used it would fail. Also, NaOH doesn't react with human skin as rapidly and violently as shown in the movie.

    Every European is taught, at a young age, that if they ever find themselves in the United States of America they should never eat the brightly coloured food. They are also taught that when in the U. S. of A. they should never attempt to walk anywhere as this is deemed as suspicious behaviour and will attract a hostile response from both the locals population and law enforcement. The most normal part of north America is Canada and even that is a bit weird.

    In some areas....yeah honestly Our FDA is very corrupt and not great at dealing with the mixed evidence regarding the safety of many chemicals. Also, American media really destroyed the idea of "just hanging out" or "going for a walk". In many places, you're assumed to be up to something if you're walking or standing around, but it isn't the case everywhere and largely aimed at youth.

    Hi Wheeler Scientific, Super nice video. I already thought of doing the same kind of thermolysis-distillation reaction but didn't perform it yet. I thought that maybe if I was to do it, I would put a kind of gas trap in a way to catch all gases (bp <30°C) also. Glad that you realised it practically. I already did perform PS thermolysis-distillation on a heating plate inside a flat bottom pyrex flask with a vigueux collumn on top, thermometer and water cooling for recollection of the distillate. The PS used was OPS (oriented PS) from CD-DVD covers or transparent plastic containers for fresh mint-coriander; those are essentially garbages and found in trashes, trash-bags in the streets here and are thus essentially free (and cost only the time to collect them, to wash them and to dry them prior to pyrolysis). The PS breaks down easily into tiny peaces (scisors, hammer, coffee grinder) into tiny bits, powder or dust for easier introduction into the flask. During the heating, temperature was monitored between the flask and the hot plate, and the vapor on top of the vigreux collumn prior to the cooling descent. At first OPS melted into a clear liquid from the bottom up to the top with a substancial reduction of the fluffy mix volume; the heat goes up slowly until tiny bubbles shine on top and develop a kind of mist; a reflux started inside the flask by condensation of that mist into clear droplets that falled down the walls onto the viscous top liquid bubbling smoothly below. I observed that the hotplate was arround 440°C (almost a limit for a kitchen hotplate) when the fog reached the condensor and the fist drops did condensate a refringent liquid (passing at 144°C). During the process; themperature was hold steady; but at the end pushed a little up to 460°C (with a little help of insulation of the flask with a dowel (tissue paper) cover (not the vigreux nor condenser); a clear labile liquid stil distill over at 144°C. I got about 70% yield from 20g (14g -15,4 ml) The viscous molten liquid that was transparent colorless liquid, did darken during the process from yellow to amber to brown (stil clear and transparent): but at the end it turned more and more dark and tarry. Once my distillation was done, I stopped the heat and the tarry residue inside the bottom of the flask did at one moment solidify; once cooled I hoped that I will not have to scrap it out or break the flask; hopefully a few 10 ml of aceton solvent did a nice job at cleaning the glassware as if it was new; the tarry stuff solution was hold aside in an open cup for evaporation; after a day at 25°C it was hard and disposable as a garbage (what it was initially intended to be - fuel for burning other trashes). Sadly here in Brussel city, headquarter of Europe; they don't seem to have an infrastructure to recycle PS (stil holding the logo recyclable nr 6) while it is so easy into the lab. I have seen that there are experiments done in France to try srinking of expanded styrofoam (isolation or protection inside packings for electronic devices) but it requires heat or solvents and the volume is quite large so heat diffusion is not optimum for a large volume and a low weight. They seems to have some succes with microwave but PS is not on its own quite absorbent of microwave radiations so they did use some Si-C chips-tiny stones with succes for wave absorption and heat production inside the PS foam to melt it. Since the thermolysis procedure is smooth and soft; and the heating process is slow, the product of the pyrolysis is quite pure as styrene. The final product being quite pure styrene should not be conserved on its own because styrene doesn't stay free and tend to repolymerise into transparent hard PS (viscous at first, then hardening more and more upon time). I did try to oxydise it into benzoic acid via KMnO4 but it was not a succes yet (wel the violet disappeared and was replaced by brown MnO2 but that was it); probably that it needs an acid or a base. The styrene needs monitoring to avoid runnaway polymerisation in the case of large amounts because polymerisation goes faster if heated over 100°C and polymerisation means srinking-contraction thus more heating; more viscosity so the heat can't dissipate and the build up of heat consequently implies cracking up, gaseification, breaking down of molecules, boiling so risk of rupture of container and fire. The best option to my feeling is: -to catch Cl2 or Br2 in a way to make stable and isolable C6H5-CHCl-CH2Cl or C6H5-CHBr-CH2Br -The later can be converted back to styrene on demand with Zn powder C6H5-CHX-CH2X + Zn --> C6H5-CH=CH2 + ZnX2 -Or converted to a valuable ethyn-benzene C6H5-C#C-H via KOH into ethanol and reflux heating C6H5-CHX-CH2X + 2KOH -EthOH-> C6H5-C#C-H + 2 KX + 2H2O BTW I have some alfa-bromostyrene at home from a chemical garage sale and that must be part of the process (1€ per L of chemical quality was quite attractive- I couldn't resist) Regards, PHZ (PHILOU Zrealone from the Science Madness forum and many Alt.Engr. newsgroups on A.O.L)

    How did u get such high voltage? Whats in the box? MOTs and a multiplier? Looks like allot of current tho. How did that tube survive? I used a neon sign transformer and it wanted to burn up the plate. Would you happen to know a good way to knock down current? Series capacitor? Would probably have to be homemade at those voltages. Very cool.

    It is harmful to humans its classified as a neurotoxin in concentrations above 90%. While not particularly deadly like it is to insects, it's still capable of Causing harm through it's direct exposure. Including causinh neurological problems from prolonged excessive exposure. So please don't say it's safe, Look up the MSDS on DEET before making your own conclusions.

  • @WheelerScientific
    @WheelerScientific10 күн бұрын

    Yes, DEET in very high concentrations with repeated exposure will cause issues. Do you know what else in enough quantity will cause severe issues? Dihydrogen monoxide (water). Pretty much anything in high enough quantities will cause problems. After about 50% concentration, DEET gives diminishing results, so barely, if any, use higher percentages, most use lower 10-30%. The EPA has not identified any risks concerning human health; normal use of DEET products does not cause health issues, except on highly infrequent occasions. Also, DEET doesn't kill insects, which I explained in the first two minutes of the video, just after I said it was safe. MSDS are beneficial, but you can't always correlate a chemical MSDS at almost 100% to a topical solution at a quarter of its amount.

    Oh man, I'm afraid for you. I know you know what you're doing, but you need to explain to people how toxic it is long-term. My father was in the Air Force. They cleaned circuit boards with CTet. No PPE provided, it was "safe." Dad wore gloves to the wrists. Everywhere it splashed on his arms - he has developed cancer. Skin cancer. It tried to burrow into his radius bone, where it would have become bone cancer, and killed him. Surgery removed a black "core" of cancer like a wine cork on his arm. Edit: He develops cancer year after year after year. They start as black moles/dots. We've lost count, how many. The CTet went on his air force uniform sleeves, and, just for a moment, touched his skin before he changed shirts. That was all it took, for 35 years later, dozens and dozens of spots of melanoma caner appeared on his arms. BTW - the fumes may get you too. Doesn't have to be a vapor. This is some of the most toxic stuff known to man.

    HCl is a gas, most of its just leaves. You could mix in the diethylamine with an NaOH solution, but I didn't notice any different yields when I tried it that way.

    I always assumed that Deet killed insects. That'l makes no sense, though. If you really think about it. I learned this a couple of months ago when I still lived in Florida. I sprayed insect repellant onto the mosquitoes. It did absolutely nothing to them, so I Googled it. I learned exactly what you told us. That Deet masks our "smell" to biting insects.
