there’s a classic science experiment that you’ve probably tried where you mix
that you’ve probably tried where you mix
that you’ve probably tried where you mix baking soda and vinegar to make a small
baking soda and vinegar to make a small
baking soda and vinegar to make a small volcanic eruption safe enough for the
volcanic eruption safe enough for the
volcanic eruption safe enough for the classroom this experiments pretty fun
classroom this experiments pretty fun
classroom this experiments pretty fun but I think we can make it a little
but I think we can make it a little
but I think we can make it a little better so for this video I teamed up
better so for this video I teamed up
better so for this video I teamed up with Lenovo so I can use their new yoga
with Lenovo so I can use their new yoga
with Lenovo so I can use their new yoga book to help me super-sized this
book to help me super-sized this
book to help me super-sized this experiment and make it a little bit
experiment and make it a little bit
experiment and make it a little bit cooler a cool feature of the yoga book
cooler a cool feature of the yoga book
cooler a cool feature of the yoga book is we can slap a piece of paper over the
is we can slap a piece of paper over the
is we can slap a piece of paper over the halo keyboard and now as we sketch out
halo keyboard and now as we sketch out
halo keyboard and now as we sketch out our plans it instantly digitizes the
our plans it instantly digitizes the
our plans it instantly digitizes the design in real time a typical science
design in real time a typical science
design in real time a typical science fair volcano is probably somewhere
fair volcano is probably somewhere
fair volcano is probably somewhere between 6 to 14 inches tall but we’re
between 6 to 14 inches tall but we’re
between 6 to 14 inches tall but we’re gonna make our volcano 14 feet tall
gonna make our volcano 14 feet tall
gonna make our volcano 14 feet tall here’s how we’re going to engineer it
here’s how we’re going to engineer it
here’s how we’re going to engineer it inside of the volcano we’re gonna have
inside of the volcano we’re gonna have
inside of the volcano we’re gonna have three steel disks we’re gonna have a 12
three steel disks we’re gonna have a 12
three steel disks we’re gonna have a 12 foot 8 foot and 4 foot steel ring and
foot 8 foot and 4 foot steel ring and
foot 8 foot and 4 foot steel ring and then we’re going to build some 2×4 ramps
then we’re going to build some 2×4 ramps
then we’re going to build some 2×4 ramps off of that so that we can step up and
off of that so that we can step up and
off of that so that we can step up and step down safely once we’ve got those in
step down safely once we’ve got those in
step down safely once we’ve got those in place we’re going to use paperback
place we’re going to use paperback
place we’re going to use paperback chicken wire to cover the volcano and
chicken wire to cover the volcano and
chicken wire to cover the volcano and then spray it with insulating foam we’re
then spray it with insulating foam we’re
then spray it with insulating foam we’re gonna cover the whole thing in stucco
gonna cover the whole thing in stucco
gonna cover the whole thing in stucco paint it and then use spray adhesive to
paint it and then use spray adhesive to
paint it and then use spray adhesive to stick real moss around the base and make
stick real moss around the base and make
stick real moss around the base and make it look as authentic as possible

[Music] now that we got the volcano built let’s
now that we got the volcano built let’s
now that we got the volcano built let’s work on making the rocket fuel
work on making the rocket fuel
work on making the rocket fuel now I thought for our epic volcano
now I thought for our epic volcano
now I thought for our epic volcano rather than using baking soda and
rather than using baking soda and
rather than using baking soda and vinegar we could make it a little more
vinegar we could make it a little more
vinegar we could make it a little more explosive by using the same composition
explosive by using the same composition
explosive by using the same composition I used in my pyrotechnic pie the two
I used in my pyrotechnic pie the two
I used in my pyrotechnic pie the two main ingredients in my pyrotechnic pie
main ingredients in my pyrotechnic pie
main ingredients in my pyrotechnic pie were just sugar and potassium nitrate
were just sugar and potassium nitrate
were just sugar and potassium nitrate mixed together in a 60/40 ratio the
mixed together in a 60/40 ratio the
mixed together in a 60/40 ratio the reason this reaction works is because
reason this reaction works is because
reason this reaction works is because the sugar acts as the fuel to keep the

the sugar acts as the fuel to keep the reaction going the byproducts of this
reaction going the byproducts of this
reaction going the byproducts of this reaction are potassium carbonate which
reaction are potassium carbonate which
reaction are potassium carbonate which is the black ash that falls down from
is the black ash that falls down from
is the black ash that falls down from the sky and we also get carbon dioxide
the sky and we also get carbon dioxide
the sky and we also get carbon dioxide water and nitrogen gas my pyrotechnic
water and nitrogen gas my pyrotechnic
water and nitrogen gas my pyrotechnic pie used about 1 pound of this
pie used about 1 pound of this
pie used about 1 pound of this composition which was enough to fill
composition which was enough to fill
composition which was enough to fill about an 8-inch pie crust imagine

check it out guys this thing turned out
check it out guys this thing turned out really really good it is 14 feet tall
really really good it is 14 feet tall
really really good it is 14 feet tall and it’s not made out of paper mache we
and it’s not made out of paper mache we
and it’s not made out of paper mache we built this thing out of steel and stucco
built this thing out of steel and stucco
built this thing out of steel and stucco and packed it full of rocket fuel we
and packed it full of rocket fuel we
and packed it full of rocket fuel we also put three mortars in there that’ll
also put three mortars in there that’ll
also put three mortars in there that’ll shoot off sparks 20 feet high and link
shoot off sparks 20 feet high and link
shoot off sparks 20 feet high and link the whole thing to a remote igniters
the whole thing to a remote igniters
the whole thing to a remote igniters with the press of a button on our hallo
with the press of a button on our hallo

whoo
whoo it watered in order to really well that
it watered in order to really well that
it watered in order to really well that is what 35 pounds of rocket fuel looks
is what 35 pounds of rocket fuel looks
is what 35 pounds of rocket fuel looks like shoved into a giant science
like shoved into a giant science
like shoved into a giant science experiment I mean if you were here you
experiment I mean if you were here you
experiment I mean if you were here you would have felt black ash raining down
would have felt black ash raining down
would have felt black ash raining down from the sky just like a real volcanic
from the sky just like a real volcanic
from the sky just like a real volcanic eruption this is so freakin cool I’ve
eruption this is so freakin cool I’ve
eruption this is so freakin cool I’ve never seen anything like this done
never seen anything like this done
never seen anything like this done [Music]

[Music] thanks for joining me for this
thanks for joining me for this
thanks for joining me for this experiment I’ll be looking for you in
experiment I’ll be looking for you in
experiment I’ll be looking for you in the next one talk to you Ben we’ve even
the next one talk to you Ben we’ve even
the next one talk to you Ben we’ve even got freaking lava
got freaking lava
