hey guys welcome back to the king of random today we’re going to be trying an
random today we’re going to be trying an
random today we’re going to be trying an experiment I’ve seen some people do
experiment I’ve seen some people do
experiment I’ve seen some people do before but haven’t seen very well
before but haven’t seen very well
before but haven’t seen very well explained we’re going to try to be
explained we’re going to try to be
explained we’re going to try to be making what’s called fire snakes a
making what’s called fire snakes a
making what’s called fire snakes a combination of burning sugar and baking
combination of burning sugar and baking
combination of burning sugar and baking soda in a base of sand we’re gonna try a
soda in a base of sand we’re gonna try a
soda in a base of sand we’re gonna try a few different combinations of regular
few different combinations of regular
few different combinations of regular sugar powdered sugar baking soda and two
sugar powdered sugar baking soda and two
sugar powdered sugar baking soda and two different types of accelerant see what
different types of accelerant see what
different types of accelerant see what gives us the very best results we’ve got
gives us the very best results we’ve got
gives us the very best results we’ve got a giant bag of sand and some metal trays
a giant bag of sand and some metal trays
a giant bag of sand and some metal trays to burn our sugar in so let’s get
to burn our sugar in so let’s get
to burn our sugar in so let’s get started now all of my research indicates
started now all of my research indicates
started now all of my research indicates that it should be four parts of sugar to
that it should be four parts of sugar to
that it should be four parts of sugar to one part baking soda by weight so that’s
one part baking soda by weight so that’s
one part baking soda by weight so that’s what we’re gonna do we’re gonna try
what we’re gonna do we’re gonna try
what we’re gonna do we’re gonna try three things we’re gonna have our
three things we’re gonna have our
three things we’re gonna have our regular sugar mixed with our baking soda
regular sugar mixed with our baking soda
regular sugar mixed with our baking soda we’re going to have our powdered sugar
we’re going to have our powdered sugar
we’re going to have our powdered sugar mixed with our baking soda and then
mixed with our baking soda and then
mixed with our baking soda and then we’re also going to try mixing some of
we’re also going to try mixing some of
we’re also going to try mixing some of our regular sugar with the baking soda
our regular sugar with the baking soda
our regular sugar with the baking soda and then blending it up so we have an
and then blending it up so we have an
and then blending it up so we have an even finer powder we’ll see how that
even finer powder we’ll see how that
even finer powder we’ll see how that does in comparison if we take all three
does in comparison if we take all three
does in comparison if we take all three of those mixtures and try burning each
of those mixtures and try burning each
of those mixtures and try burning each of them with alcohol and lighter fluid
of them with alcohol and lighter fluid
of them with alcohol and lighter fluid and see which of our six combinations
and see which of our six combinations
and see which of our six combinations gives us the best results white powders
gives us the best results white powders
gives us the best results white powders everywhere

which I’ll blend in just a minute one thing that might cause a different
thing that might cause a different
thing that might cause a different result with the powdered sugar is most
result with the powdered sugar is most
result with the powdered sugar is most powdered sugar actually also has some
powdered sugar actually also has some
powdered sugar actually also has some cornstarch in it to help keep it from

[Music] now let’s get a little blender and blend
now let’s get a little blender and blend
now let’s get a little blender and blend up one of the mixtures of regular sugar
up one of the mixtures of regular sugar
up one of the mixtures of regular sugar and baking soda
and baking soda
and baking soda [Music]
[Music]
[Music] yes unsurprisingly that now kind of
yes unsurprisingly that now kind of
yes unsurprisingly that now kind of looks like powdered sugar all right
looks like powdered sugar all right
looks like powdered sugar all right we’ve got our three different trays for
we’ve got our three different trays for
we’ve got our three different trays for our three different mixtures let’s build
our three different mixtures let’s build
our three different mixtures let’s build these up with sand
these up with sand

[Music] my first fuel is 91% concentration of
my first fuel is 91% concentration of
my first fuel is 91% concentration of isopropyl alcohol also known as rubbing
isopropyl alcohol also known as rubbing
isopropyl alcohol also known as rubbing alcohol my other one is a common
alcohol my other one is a common
alcohol my other one is a common barbecue lighter fluid I’m going to pour
barbecue lighter fluid I’m going to pour
barbecue lighter fluid I’m going to pour some of each fluid on one side of the
some of each fluid on one side of the
some of each fluid on one side of the sand and then we’ll put little piles of
sand and then we’ll put little piles of
sand and then we’ll put little piles of each kind of sugar on that so overall
each kind of sugar on that so overall
each kind of sugar on that so overall we’ll have 6 different combinations of
we’ll have 6 different combinations of
we’ll have 6 different combinations of sugar and fuel going at once
so here we’ve got granulated sugar and
so here we’ve got granulated sugar and alcohol is the fuel here we’ve got
alcohol is the fuel here we’ve got
alcohol is the fuel here we’ve got granulated sugar and lighter fluid as a
granulated sugar and lighter fluid as a
granulated sugar and lighter fluid as a fuel blend and sugar with alcohol when
fuel blend and sugar with alcohol when
fuel blend and sugar with alcohol when it’s your lighter fluid powdered sugar
it’s your lighter fluid powdered sugar
it’s your lighter fluid powdered sugar alcohol powdered sugar lightest
alcohol powdered sugar lightest
alcohol powdered sugar lightest [Music]
[Music]
[Music] a little harder time getting the lighter
a little harder time getting the lighter
a little harder time getting the lighter fluid delight than the alcohol so that’s
fluid delight than the alcohol so that’s
fluid delight than the alcohol so that’s one point for alcohol that when it lit
one point for alcohol that when it lit
one point for alcohol that when it lit well

here we go [Music]
[Music]
[Music] so let’s take a little bit of a look at
so let’s take a little bit of a look at
so let’s take a little bit of a look at what is happening here as the sugar
what is happening here as the sugar
what is happening here as the sugar burns it bubbles and boils and turns
burns it bubbles and boils and turns
burns it bubbles and boils and turns black and turns into just basically
black and turns into just basically
black and turns into just basically carbon some of the gas is being led off
carbon some of the gas is being led off
carbon some of the gas is being led off by the baking soda are actually filling

the molten sugar as its creative it
the molten sugar as its creative it doesn’t just turn into a puddle of black
doesn’t just turn into a puddle of black
doesn’t just turn into a puddle of black sugar it turns into a sort of expanded
sugar it turns into a sort of expanded
sugar it turns into a sort of expanded foam of black sugar well here we go
foam of black sugar well here we go
foam of black sugar well here we go here’s the results of our test the
here’s the results of our test the
here’s the results of our test the powdered sugar definitely started making
powdered sugar definitely started making
powdered sugar definitely started making the fire snakes the fastest they took
the fire snakes the fastest they took
the fire snakes the fastest they took off pretty quickly the powdered sugar
off pretty quickly the powdered sugar
off pretty quickly the powdered sugar with the lighter fluid never got very
with the lighter fluid never got very
with the lighter fluid never got very far we only got this one little weird
far we only got this one little weird
far we only got this one little weird stumpy thing which still looks pretty
stumpy thing which still looks pretty
stumpy thing which still looks pretty cool but it’s not very big you can see
cool but it’s not very big you can see
cool but it’s not very big you can see most of the sugar is still just kind of
most of the sugar is still just kind of
most of the sugar is still just kind of there clumps together another
there clumps together another
there clumps together another interesting point something I want to
interesting point something I want to
interesting point something I want to talk about is that if you’ve seen videos
talk about is that if you’ve seen videos
talk about is that if you’ve seen videos of this before it doesn’t occur to you
of this before it doesn’t occur to you
of this before it doesn’t occur to you how unbelievably lightweight this stuff
how unbelievably lightweight this stuff
how unbelievably lightweight this stuff is because you have a pile of sugar
is because you have a pile of sugar
is because you have a pile of sugar that’s all of the mass and then it’s
that’s all of the mass and then it’s
that’s all of the mass and then it’s just expanded out to this large snake so
just expanded out to this large snake so
just expanded out to this large snake so this thing weighs almost nothing is like

worked great it started off very quickly
worked great it started off very quickly it kept going for quite a while there is
it kept going for quite a while there is
it kept going for quite a while there is still a lump of unburned sugar down at
still a lump of unburned sugar down at
still a lump of unburned sugar down at the bottom but it’s pretty small it

powdered sugar with alcohol is a fuel
powdered sugar with alcohol is a fuel that works really well our blended sugar
that works really well our blended sugar
that works really well our blended sugar well our blended sugar with the lighter
well our blended sugar with the lighter
well our blended sugar with the lighter fluid got basically nowhere almost all

granulated sugar with lighter fluid
granulated sugar with lighter fluid again not very impressive I took this
again not very impressive I took this
again not very impressive I took this piece off to try and let some of the
piece off to try and let some of the
piece off to try and let some of the sugar inside get a little more access to
sugar inside get a little more access to
sugar inside get a little more access to the heat didn’t really seem to do much
the heat didn’t really seem to do much
the heat didn’t really seem to do much this still looks cool but it’s very
this still looks cool but it’s very
this still looks cool but it’s very small it didn’t go very far I’m actually
small it didn’t go very far I’m actually
small it didn’t go very far I’m actually gonna try eating a tiny bit of this and
gonna try eating a tiny bit of this and
gonna try eating a tiny bit of this and it’s gonna taste terrible
it’s gonna taste terrible
it’s gonna taste terrible I’m hoping this inner part will just
I’m hoping this inner part will just
I’m hoping this inner part will just taste like burnt sugar and it won’t all
taste like burnt sugar and it won’t all
taste like burnt sugar and it won’t all taste just like carbon there’s also
taste just like carbon there’s also
taste just like carbon there’s also baking soda in it so it’s like salty
baking soda in it so it’s like salty
baking soda in it so it’s like salty burn sugar no yeah it’s terrible
burn sugar no yeah it’s terrible
burn sugar no yeah it’s terrible granulated sugar and alcohol this took a
granulated sugar and alcohol this took a
granulated sugar and alcohol this took a good while to start doing anything like
good while to start doing anything like
good while to start doing anything like it it took a long time for it to get
it it took a long time for it to get
it it took a long time for it to get beyond just this first little bit but
beyond just this first little bit but
beyond just this first little bit but eventually it started growing really
eventually it started growing really
eventually it started growing really well and it just kept going until even
well and it just kept going until even
well and it just kept going until even though it is very lightweight eventually
though it is very lightweight eventually
though it is very lightweight eventually I had enough weight to just break a
I had enough weight to just break a
I had enough weight to just break a piece off and then it started making
piece off and then it started making
piece off and then it started making another piece and the mountain broke off
another piece and the mountain broke off
another piece and the mountain broke off and then another piece for it came and
and then another piece for it came and
and then another piece for it came and that broke off and it’s just kept on
that broke off and it’s just kept on
that broke off and it’s just kept on going so I think we definitely got the
going so I think we definitely got the
going so I think we definitely got the most volume out of the granulated sugar
most volume out of the granulated sugar
most volume out of the granulated sugar eventually the the powdered sugar
eventually the the powdered sugar
eventually the the powdered sugar definitely took off faster but in the
definitely took off faster but in the
definitely took off faster but in the end I think the granulated sugar was the
end I think the granulated sugar was the
end I think the granulated sugar was the most firesnake you at all oh it’s pretty
most firesnake you at all oh it’s pretty
most firesnake you at all oh it’s pretty close tie between those two I actually
close tie between those two I actually
close tie between those two I actually liked both of them pretty well but I’m
liked both of them pretty well but I’m
liked both of them pretty well but I’m gonna say the granulated sugar with my
gonna say the granulated sugar with my
gonna say the granulated sugar with my favorite just because it kept going and
favorite just because it kept going and
favorite just because it kept going and diminishing and getting smaller and
diminishing and getting smaller and
diminishing and getting smaller and smaller I think it’s pretty clear that
smaller I think it’s pretty clear that
smaller I think it’s pretty clear that the 91% isopropyl alcohol that we were
the 91% isopropyl alcohol that we were
the 91% isopropyl alcohol that we were using is a much better fuel than the
using is a much better fuel than the
using is a much better fuel than the lighter fluid
lighter fluid
lighter fluid so isopropyl alcohol very good
so isopropyl alcohol very good
so isopropyl alcohol very good granulated sugar or powdered sugar both
granulated sugar or powdered sugar both
granulated sugar or powdered sugar both quite good blended sugar not really so
quite good blended sugar not really so
quite good blended sugar not really so good so we’re not going to use that
good so we’re not going to use that
good so we’re not going to use that anymore well I’m gonna clean this up and
anymore well I’m gonna clean this up and
anymore well I’m gonna clean this up and then I have a couple ideas of how to
then I have a couple ideas of how to
then I have a couple ideas of how to scale this up to something a little bit
scale this up to something a little bit
scale this up to something a little bit larger
it just disappears I’m gonna use our
it just disappears I’m gonna use our powdered sugar mix for this one because
powdered sugar mix for this one because
powdered sugar mix for this one because it started going fastest and use the
it started going fastest and use the
it started going fastest and use the alcohol of course because that works way
alcohol of course because that works way
alcohol of course because that works way better and I’m just gonna set up like a
better and I’m just gonna set up like a
better and I’m just gonna set up like a whole bunch of different spots on one
whole bunch of different spots on one
whole bunch of different spots on one tray of sand I’m gonna hope they kind of
tray of sand I’m gonna hope they kind of
tray of sand I’m gonna hope they kind of grow together into one giant fire flame
grow together into one giant fire flame
grow together into one giant fire flame smoke log we’ll see what happens
smoke log we’ll see what happens
smoke log we’ll see what happens [Music]
[Music]
[Music] all right oh it’s good let’s light it up
[Music]
[Music] that was pretty cool it wasn’t exactly
that was pretty cool it wasn’t exactly
that was pretty cool it wasn’t exactly what I was hoping for I was hoping for
what I was hoping for I was hoping for
what I was hoping for I was hoping for we just kind of get like a large column
we just kind of get like a large column
we just kind of get like a large column of this stuff rising up and that didn’t
of this stuff rising up and that didn’t
of this stuff rising up and that didn’t really work out but it did get some good
really work out but it did get some good
really work out but it did get some good volume we got quite a bit of the black
volume we got quite a bit of the black
volume we got quite a bit of the black snake material which looked a little bit
snake material which looked a little bit
snake material which looked a little bit cooler well it’s still on the tray make
cooler well it’s still on the tray make
cooler well it’s still on the tray make a couple of times I cleared it off so we
a couple of times I cleared it off so we
a couple of times I cleared it off so we could like let the new stuff go in
could like let the new stuff go in
could like let the new stuff go in without all the weight of what was on
without all the weight of what was on
without all the weight of what was on there crushing it down overall pretty
there crushing it down overall pretty
there crushing it down overall pretty neat I’ve got one more thing that I want
neat I’ve got one more thing that I want
neat I’ve got one more thing that I want to try and it’s gonna take up a little
to try and it’s gonna take up a little
to try and it’s gonna take up a little more space for all these ins I am using
more space for all these ins I am using
more space for all these ins I am using the powdered sugar rather than the
the powdered sugar rather than the
the powdered sugar rather than the granulated sugar just because it starts
granulated sugar just because it starts
granulated sugar just because it starts going faster still think the granulated
going faster still think the granulated
going faster still think the granulated sugar might be better for a total result
sugar might be better for a total result
sugar might be better for a total result in getting the biggest longest snakes I
in getting the biggest longest snakes I
in getting the biggest longest snakes I just didn’t want to wait for it this
just didn’t want to wait for it this
just didn’t want to wait for it this time now we’ve got 13 fire snakes going
time now we’ve got 13 fire snakes going
time now we’ve got 13 fire snakes going at once I’ve spread them out a little
at once I’ve spread them out a little
at once I’ve spread them out a little bit more so that they hopefully won’t
bit more so that they hopefully won’t
bit more so that they hopefully won’t bond together like they were in the last
bond together like they were in the last
bond together like they were in the last one this way I’m hoping we just get 13
one this way I’m hoping we just get 13
one this way I’m hoping we just get 13 different snakes rising a foot or two
different snakes rising a foot or two
different snakes rising a foot or two off of the tray
off of the tray
off of the tray [Music]
[Music]
[Music] well there we go 13 different black
well there we go 13 different black
well there we go 13 different black snakes all in one tray all together
snakes all in one tray all together
snakes all in one tray all together making this sort of weird twisted field
making this sort of weird twisted field
making this sort of weird twisted field of gnarled growing things I don’t even
of gnarled growing things I don’t even
of gnarled growing things I don’t even know what to call them but that looks
know what to call them but that looks
know what to call them but that looks pretty cool it was fun to do and guys
pretty cool it was fun to do and guys
pretty cool it was fun to do and guys this experiment is so easy powdered
this experiment is so easy powdered
this experiment is so easy powdered sugar baking soda and rubbing alcohol
sugar baking soda and rubbing alcohol
sugar baking soda and rubbing alcohol you just put that in a little bit of
you just put that in a little bit of
you just put that in a little bit of sand and light it and you get this it’s
sand and light it and you get this it’s
sand and light it and you get this it’s like the cheapest experiment you could
like the cheapest experiment you could
like the cheapest experiment you could ever do and it looks so cool I found
ever do and it looks so cool I found
ever do and it looks so cool I found that I had really good results using
that I had really good results using
that I had really good results using both granulated sugar and powdered sugar
both granulated sugar and powdered sugar
both granulated sugar and powdered sugar the powdered sugar started working a
the powdered sugar started working a
the powdered sugar started working a little bit faster the granulated sugar
little bit faster the granulated sugar
little bit faster the granulated sugar kept going longer so you kind of have to
kept going longer so you kind of have to
kept going longer so you kind of have to choose which one you prefer I definitely
choose which one you prefer I definitely
choose which one you prefer I definitely found that the 91% rubbing alcohol
found that the 91% rubbing alcohol
found that the 91% rubbing alcohol worked better as a fuel than the lighter
worked better as a fuel than the lighter
worked better as a fuel than the lighter fluid I think it started better I think
fluid I think it started better I think
fluid I think it started better I think it burned more consistently and just
it burned more consistently and just
it burned more consistently and just gave us better results in the end if
gave us better results in the end if
gave us better results in the end if you’re trying this at home make sure
you’re trying this at home make sure
you’re trying this at home make sure you’re doing it in place with good
you’re doing it in place with good
you’re doing it in place with good ventilation make sure you’re not gonna
