what’s up guys welcome back today is an exciting day because today is the day we
exciting day because today is the day we
exciting day because today is the day we get to test out our nitro cotton now in
get to test out our nitro cotton now in
get to test out our nitro cotton now in yesterday’s video we took some extremely
yesterday’s video we took some extremely
yesterday’s video we took some extremely dangerous acids and use them to turn
dangerous acids and use them to turn
dangerous acids and use them to turn ordinary cotton balls into nitro cotton
ordinary cotton balls into nitro cotton
ordinary cotton balls into nitro cotton and what exactly is nitro cotton well
and what exactly is nitro cotton well
and what exactly is nitro cotton well you’re about to find out now these here
you’re about to find out now these here
you’re about to find out now these here the cotton balls that we worked with
the cotton balls that we worked with
the cotton balls that we worked with yesterday and I’ve let them sit
yesterday and I’ve let them sit
yesterday and I’ve let them sit overnight so they’re about as dry as we
overnight so they’re about as dry as we
overnight so they’re about as dry as we can get them which is good because I
can get them which is good because I
can get them which is good because I don’t think night ricotta works for a
don’t think night ricotta works for a
don’t think night ricotta works for a well if it’s wet and now if we compare
well if it’s wet and now if we compare
well if it’s wet and now if we compare them to one of our original cotton balls
them to one of our original cotton balls
them to one of our original cotton balls you can see they’re a little bit smaller
you can see they’re a little bit smaller
you can see they’re a little bit smaller and they’ve take on kind of a yellowish
and they’ve take on kind of a yellowish
and they’ve take on kind of a yellowish tinge other than that just feels like a
tinge other than that just feels like a
tinge other than that just feels like a cotton ball that got a little bit too
cotton ball that got a little bit too
cotton ball that got a little bit too wet and then dry it out overnight
wet and then dry it out overnight
wet and then dry it out overnight now you remember yesterday we weighed
now you remember yesterday we weighed
now you remember yesterday we weighed each of our cotton balls individually
each of our cotton balls individually
each of our cotton balls individually and I’m curious to know today now that
and I’m curious to know today now that
and I’m curious to know today now that they’ve been nitrated if there’s any
they’ve been nitrated if there’s any
they’ve been nitrated if there’s any difference in weight all right let’s
difference in weight all right let’s
difference in weight all right let’s start a cotton ball number one this was
start a cotton ball number one this was
start a cotton ball number one this was 0.55 grams originally and now we’re
0.55 grams originally and now we’re
0.55 grams originally and now we’re showing 0.8 0ms I like fluctuating point
showing 0.8 0ms I like fluctuating point
showing 0.8 0ms I like fluctuating point at 0.5 I wonder if that’s because
at 0.5 I wonder if that’s because
at 0.5 I wonder if that’s because there’s still a bit of moisture in it or
there’s still a bit of moisture in it or
there’s still a bit of moisture in it or if it’s actually changed weight
if it’s actually changed weight
if it’s actually changed weight [Music]
okay so I just reweighed all of the
okay so I just reweighed all of the cotton balls here and it seems that in
cotton balls here and it seems that in
cotton balls here and it seems that in almost every case the cotton ball weighs
almost every case the cotton ball weighs
almost every case the cotton ball weighs about 0.3 grams more than it did
about 0.3 grams more than it did
about 0.3 grams more than it did yesterday and I’m not sure if that’s
yesterday and I’m not sure if that’s
yesterday and I’m not sure if that’s still because there’s a little bit of
still because there’s a little bit of
still because there’s a little bit of moisture in here that’s waiting to
moisture in here that’s waiting to
moisture in here that’s waiting to evaporate off or if the physical
evaporate off or if the physical
evaporate off or if the physical properties of the cotton ball itself has
properties of the cotton ball itself has
properties of the cotton ball itself has changed but in almost every case the
changed but in almost every case the
changed but in almost every case the cotton ball has increased in weight by
cotton ball has increased in weight by
cotton ball has increased in weight by 0.3 grams interesting now this is the
0.3 grams interesting now this is the
0.3 grams interesting now this is the fun part the moment we’ve all been
fun part the moment we’ve all been
fun part the moment we’ve all been waiting for because now we get to burn
waiting for because now we get to burn
waiting for because now we get to burn it now before we start burning our nitro
it now before we start burning our nitro
it now before we start burning our nitro cotton let’s start off burning one
cotton let’s start off burning one
cotton let’s start off burning one regular cotton ball just do we have a
regular cotton ball just do we have a
regular cotton ball just do we have a standard to measure it against now to
standard to measure it against now to
standard to measure it against now to light this thing off we could just use
light this thing off we could just use
light this thing off we could just use the flame from a BBQ igniter but that’s
the flame from a BBQ igniter but that’s
the flame from a BBQ igniter but that’s a little bit too easy so to switch
a little bit too easy so to switch
a little bit too easy so to switch things up a little bit let’s try using
things up a little bit let’s try using
things up a little bit let’s try using some sparks from a ferrocerium rod and
some sparks from a ferrocerium rod and
some sparks from a ferrocerium rod and hacksaw blade there we go we have
hacksaw blade there we go we have
hacksaw blade there we go we have ignition the cotton ball ignites look at
ignition the cotton ball ignites look at
ignition the cotton ball ignites look at the way it burns the cotton shrinks the
the way it burns the cotton shrinks the
the way it burns the cotton shrinks the ball turns black as it leaves behind the
ball turns black as it leaves behind the
ball turns black as it leaves behind the carbon residue you can see we got a good
carbon residue you can see we got a good
carbon residue you can see we got a good 25 to 30 seconds of burn time there with
25 to 30 seconds of burn time there with
25 to 30 seconds of burn time there with regular cotton ball without flame right
regular cotton ball without flame right
regular cotton ball without flame right there looks cool you need to see the
there looks cool you need to see the
there looks cool you need to see the heat rising from the charcoal ash we’re
heat rising from the charcoal ash we’re
heat rising from the charcoal ash we’re left with now is basically black ash and
left with now is basically black ash and
left with now is basically black ash and bring residue and that’s got a lot of
bring residue and that’s got a lot of
bring residue and that’s got a lot of smoke coming off it look at all the
smoke coming off it look at all the
smoke coming off it look at all the smoke here with all the smoke
smoke here with all the smoke
smoke here with all the smoke [Music]
[Music]
[Music] so you can see that gives about 25 to 30
so you can see that gives about 25 to 30
so you can see that gives about 25 to 30 seconds of burn time there’s quite a bit
seconds of burn time there’s quite a bit
seconds of burn time there’s quite a bit of smoke and the cotton ball doesn’t
of smoke and the cotton ball doesn’t
of smoke and the cotton ball doesn’t completely burn unless you move it
completely burn unless you move it
completely burn unless you move it around and expose it to the oxygen so
around and expose it to the oxygen so
around and expose it to the oxygen so now let’s see how a regular cotton ball
now let’s see how a regular cotton ball
now let’s see how a regular cotton ball compares to Nitro cotton so this is test
compares to Nitro cotton so this is test
compares to Nitro cotton so this is test number one it’s the first cotton ball we
number one it’s the first cotton ball we
number one it’s the first cotton ball we soaked in acid yesterday so
soaked in acid yesterday so
soaked in acid yesterday so theoretically it should be the most
theoretically it should be the most
theoretically it should be the most volatile here it is boom there it goes
volatile here it is boom there it goes
volatile here it is boom there it goes man okay so do you see the difference in
man okay so do you see the difference in
man okay so do you see the difference in the burn time there the flash cotton
the burn time there the flash cotton
the burn time there the flash cotton actually flash it went up in a huge ball
actually flash it went up in a huge ball
actually flash it went up in a huge ball fire and if you look down here at the
fire and if you look down here at the
fire and if you look down here at the res view there’s really not much Ash
res view there’s really not much Ash
res view there’s really not much Ash left over this is the original cotton
left over this is the original cotton
left over this is the original cotton ball that’s at your burning for about
ball that’s at your burning for about
ball that’s at your burning for about two minutes before it finally died down
two minutes before it finally died down
two minutes before it finally died down to this ash and there’s still quite a
to this ash and there’s still quite a
to this ash and there’s still quite a bit of residue our flash cotton you can
bit of residue our flash cotton you can
bit of residue our flash cotton you can see almost everything is gone so cotton
see almost everything is gone so cotton
see almost everything is gone so cotton ball one with the success and went up
ball one with the success and went up
ball one with the success and went up very very quickly even though it was
very very quickly even though it was
very very quickly even though it was still in cotton ball form if we would
still in cotton ball form if we would
still in cotton ball form if we would have stretched those fibers out we could
have stretched those fibers out we could
have stretched those fibers out we could get them go off even faster watch this
get them go off even faster watch this
get them go off even faster watch this so we don’t have to burn the whole
so we don’t have to burn the whole
so we don’t have to burn the whole cotton ball at once we can actually
cotton ball at once we can actually
cotton ball at once we can actually unroll it and give ourselves more
unroll it and give ourselves more
unroll it and give ourselves more material to work with like so what’s
material to work with like so what’s
material to work with like so what’s really interesting is it still looks
really interesting is it still looks
really interesting is it still looks like cotton it’s still very fluffy it
like cotton it’s still very fluffy it
like cotton it’s still very fluffy it still acts like cotton it’s got a
still acts like cotton it’s got a
still acts like cotton it’s got a slightly yellowish tinge to it try
slightly yellowish tinge to it try
slightly yellowish tinge to it try ripping off a small piece of fiber like
ripping off a small piece of fiber like
ripping off a small piece of fiber like this and touch it gently with a flame
this and touch it gently with a flame
this and touch it gently with a flame and see just how quickly it goes off
and see just how quickly it goes off
and see just how quickly it goes off gone in a flash that’s why I love this
gone in a flash that’s why I love this
gone in a flash that’s why I love this stuff it burns so quickly it disappears
stuff it burns so quickly it disappears
stuff it burns so quickly it disappears before it even has a chance to at the
before it even has a chance to at the
before it even has a chance to at the table it’s why they call it flash cotton
table it’s why they call it flash cotton
table it’s why they call it flash cotton folks flash paper and flash cotton is
folks flash paper and flash cotton is
folks flash paper and flash cotton is the kind of stuff magicians using their
the kind of stuff magicians using their
the kind of stuff magicians using their shows because it burns so quickly
shows because it burns so quickly
shows because it burns so quickly it’s very dramatic it doesn’t leave any
it’s very dramatic it doesn’t leave any
it’s very dramatic it doesn’t leave any smoke or any ashy residue and guys if
smoke or any ashy residue and guys if
smoke or any ashy residue and guys if you flake off little pieces of your
you flake off little pieces of your
you flake off little pieces of your cotton ball like this you can actually
cotton ball like this you can actually
cotton ball like this you can actually stretch one cotton ball to go an
stretch one cotton ball to go an
stretch one cotton ball to go an extremely long way
extremely long way
extremely long way [Music]
[Music]
[Music] so we have it to tests down to full
so we have it to tests down to full
so we have it to tests down to full successes now the purpose of this
successes now the purpose of this
successes now the purpose of this experiment today is really to see how
experiment today is really to see how
experiment today is really to see how many cotton balls we were able to
many cotton balls we were able to
many cotton balls we were able to nitrate with 80 milliliters of nitric
nitrate with 80 milliliters of nitric
nitrate with 80 milliliters of nitric acid we took eight cotton balls soaked
acid we took eight cotton balls soaked
acid we took eight cotton balls soaked them each individually for five minutes
them each individually for five minutes
them each individually for five minutes and my question is at what point is the
and my question is at what point is the
and my question is at what point is the nitration start wearing off so this may
nitration start wearing off so this may
nitration start wearing off so this may seem like a bit of a waste but what
seem like a bit of a waste but what
seem like a bit of a waste but what we’re going to do now is burn through
we’re going to do now is burn through
we’re going to do now is burn through each of our cotton balls individually
each of our cotton balls individually
each of our cotton balls individually until we find the point where our flash
until we find the point where our flash
until we find the point where our flash cotton
cotton
cotton stops flashing
stops flashing
stops flashing [Music]

[Music] whoa someone explosive
a little bit slower a little bit slower
a little bit slower a little bit slower and there’s a little bit more ashy
and there’s a little bit more ashy
and there’s a little bit more ashy residue there number seven
residue there number seven
residue there number seven [Music]
still a good burn but that was a lot
still a good burn but that was a lot slower and you can see there’s a lot
slower and you can see there’s a lot
slower and you can see there’s a lot more after as well down to our last
more after as well down to our last
more after as well down to our last cotton ball this is number eight and
cotton ball this is number eight and
cotton ball this is number eight and it’s even got a nice little fuse ticking
it’s even got a nice little fuse ticking
it’s even got a nice little fuse ticking at the top for us
at the top for us
at the top for us [Music]
[Music]
[Music] putting off a lot of interesting smoke
putting off a lot of interesting smoke
putting off a lot of interesting smoke there look at that it’s turning yellow
there look at that it’s turning yellow
there look at that it’s turning yellow that’s the Tsar is bringing extremely
that’s the Tsar is bringing extremely
that’s the Tsar is bringing extremely slowly
slowly
slowly lots of ash it didn’t ignite at all it
lots of ash it didn’t ignite at all it
lots of ash it didn’t ignite at all it just kind of fizzled down released a lot
just kind of fizzled down released a lot
just kind of fizzled down released a lot of yellow smoke and turned into this
of yellow smoke and turned into this
of yellow smoke and turned into this black ash which kind of has the smell of
black ash which kind of has the smell of
black ash which kind of has the smell of sulfuric acid they left behind this tar
sulfuric acid they left behind this tar
sulfuric acid they left behind this tar looking stuff as well
looking stuff as well
looking stuff as well crispy black ash and a greasy tar
crispy black ash and a greasy tar
crispy black ash and a greasy tar residue so interesting guys so out of 8
residue so interesting guys so out of 8
residue so interesting guys so out of 8 cotton balls the first five of them went
cotton balls the first five of them went
cotton balls the first five of them went off perfectly very very quickly it
off perfectly very very quickly it
off perfectly very very quickly it wasn’t until the 6th cotton ball that we
wasn’t until the 6th cotton ball that we
wasn’t until the 6th cotton ball that we noticed a little bit of black ash
noticed a little bit of black ash
noticed a little bit of black ash residue a little bit more than normal
residue a little bit more than normal
residue a little bit more than normal the seventh burn was a little bit slower
the seventh burn was a little bit slower
the seventh burn was a little bit slower and the eighth ball didn’t even burn at
and the eighth ball didn’t even burn at
and the eighth ball didn’t even burn at all I just released a ton of yellow
all I just released a ton of yellow
all I just released a ton of yellow smoke and melt it down into this black
smoke and melt it down into this black
smoke and melt it down into this black ball of ash so I think based on our
ball of ash so I think based on our
ball of ash so I think based on our experiment here today we can safely
experiment here today we can safely
experiment here today we can safely conclude that 80 milliliters of nitric
conclude that 80 milliliters of nitric
conclude that 80 milliliters of nitric acid will fully nitrate between 5 to 6
acid will fully nitrate between 5 to 6
acid will fully nitrate between 5 to 6 cotton balls now we can actually look at
cotton balls now we can actually look at
cotton balls now we can actually look at the weights of our cotton balls and
the weights of our cotton balls and
the weights of our cotton balls and figure out exactly how much cotton that
figure out exactly how much cotton that
figure out exactly how much cotton that was so just looking at our numbers here
was so just looking at our numbers here
was so just looking at our numbers here it looks like the first 5 to 6 cotton
it looks like the first 5 to 6 cotton
it looks like the first 5 to 6 cotton balls comes out between about 3 grams to
balls comes out between about 3 grams to
balls comes out between about 3 grams to 3.25 grams so my best guess based on
3.25 grams so my best guess based on
3.25 grams so my best guess based on this experiment is that 80 milliliters
this experiment is that 80 milliliters
this experiment is that 80 milliliters of nitric acid will successfully nitrate
of nitric acid will successfully nitrate
of nitric acid will successfully nitrate around 3 grams of cotton and don’t
around 3 grams of cotton and don’t
around 3 grams of cotton and don’t forget we nitrated a tampon as well
forget we nitrated a tampon as well
forget we nitrated a tampon as well which is 2.4 grams so theoretically we
which is 2.4 grams so theoretically we
which is 2.4 grams so theoretically we should be able to get this to work now
should be able to get this to work now
should be able to get this to work now our little cotton tampon has a whole
our little cotton tampon has a whole
our little cotton tampon has a whole heck of a lot of cotton in it so we
heck of a lot of cotton in it so we
heck of a lot of cotton in it so we could actually stretch it out to last
could actually stretch it out to last
could actually stretch it out to last quite a while but I’m thinking let’s
quite a while but I’m thinking let’s
quite a while but I’m thinking let’s just light off this little strip here
just light off this little strip here
just light off this little strip here and if it works let’s light off the
and if it works let’s light off the
and if it works let’s light off the whole thing just because we can
whole thing just because we can
whole thing just because we can [Music]
[Music]
[Music] beauteous like magic all right so that
beauteous like magic all right so that
beauteous like magic all right so that worked no problem at all so let’s go
worked no problem at all so let’s go
worked no problem at all so let’s go ahead and fluff this tampon out a bit
ahead and fluff this tampon out a bit
ahead and fluff this tampon out a bit and set it ablaze we go beautiful all
and set it ablaze we go beautiful all
and set it ablaze we go beautiful all right here we go
right here we go
right here we go flash tampon in three two one dang that
flash tampon in three two one dang that

Cowabunga dude yeah and look at this
Cowabunga dude yeah and look at this there’s hardly any ash at all we’ve got
there’s hardly any ash at all we’ve got
there’s hardly any ash at all we’ve got like little tiny bits of black fiber but
like little tiny bits of black fiber but
like little tiny bits of black fiber but the rest of it is completely gone and no
the rest of it is completely gone and no
the rest of it is completely gone and no smoke did you see there was no smoke in
smoke did you see there was no smoke in
smoke did you see there was no smoke in that just a huge flash of fire in fact
that just a huge flash of fire in fact
that just a huge flash of fire in fact that was quite a bit higher than I was
that was quite a bit higher than I was
that was quite a bit higher than I was expecting it would right up into my face
expecting it would right up into my face
expecting it would right up into my face and look there’s hardly any ash residue
and look there’s hardly any ash residue
and look there’s hardly any ash residue at all if you look down here it’s just a

little bit of black matter but for the
little bit of black matter but for the most part that tampon is gone in its
most part that tampon is gone in its
most part that tampon is gone in its entirety so that was really cool guys
entirety so that was really cool guys
entirety so that was really cool guys and now based on these results I think
and now based on these results I think
and now based on these results I think we can reach some conclusions from our
we can reach some conclusions from our
we can reach some conclusions from our experiments here today we start off in
experiments here today we start off in
experiments here today we start off in yesterday’s video taking regular cotton
yesterday’s video taking regular cotton
yesterday’s video taking regular cotton balls and soaking them in the solution
balls and soaking them in the solution

cotton the purpose of today’s experiment was to test those cotton balls to
was to test those cotton balls to
was to test those cotton balls to identify where the nitration started
identify where the nitration started
identify where the nitration started dropping off and based on our results we
dropping off and based on our results we
dropping off and based on our results we found that happened right around cotton
found that happened right around cotton
found that happened right around cotton ball number six now because we use 80
ball number six now because we use 80
ball number six now because we use 80 milliliters of nitric acid to brew six
milliliters of nitric acid to brew six
milliliters of nitric acid to brew six cotton balls that went up in a flash we
cotton balls that went up in a flash we
cotton balls that went up in a flash we determined that one milliliter of nitric
determined that one milliliter of nitric
determined that one milliliter of nitric acid nitrates about point zero four
acid nitrates about point zero four
acid nitrates about point zero four grams of cotton because our cotton balls
grams of cotton because our cotton balls
grams of cotton because our cotton balls work so well just for fun we went ahead
work so well just for fun we went ahead
work so well just for fun we went ahead and nitrated a cotton feminine hygiene
and nitrated a cotton feminine hygiene
and nitrated a cotton feminine hygiene product to produce the world’s first
