what’s up guys welcome back to the king

what’s up guys welcome back to the king of random I’m Nate thanks for joining us

of random I’m Nate thanks for joining us

of random I’m Nate thanks for joining us today

today

today recently we had a video where we showed

recently we had a video where we showed

recently we had a video where we showed you how to make your very own foam

you how to make your very own foam

you how to make your very own foam balloon generator well today we’ve got

balloon generator well today we’ve got

balloon generator well today we’ve got some experiments that are going to take

some experiments that are going to take

some experiments that are going to take that to the next level first I want to

that to the next level first I want to

that to the next level first I want to point out that I’ve changed my formula a

point out that I’ve changed my formula a

point out that I’ve changed my formula a little bit before I was using bubble

little bit before I was using bubble

little bit before I was using bubble soap with a ratio of about one part

soap with a ratio of about one part

soap with a ratio of about one part bubble soap to seven parts water and

bubble soap to seven parts water and

bubble soap to seven parts water and while that still works great I think

while that still works great I think

while that still works great I think I’ve had slightly better results by

I’ve had slightly better results by

I’ve had slightly better results by using a foaming hand soap I use one part

using a foaming hand soap I use one part

using a foaming hand soap I use one part foaming hand soap to two parts water so

foaming hand soap to two parts water so

foaming hand soap to two parts water so it’s not quite as concentrated of a base

it’s not quite as concentrated of a base

it’s not quite as concentrated of a base to start with but I think it makes a

to start with but I think it makes a

to start with but I think it makes a slightly better phone since that’s what

slightly better phone since that’s what

slightly better phone since that’s what this type of soap was designed for the

this type of soap was designed for the

this type of soap was designed for the experiment that so many of you wanted us

experiment that so many of you wanted us

experiment that so many of you wanted us to try was using food coloring to see if

to try was using food coloring to see if

to try was using food coloring to see if we could make our foam come up as

we could make our foam come up as

we could make our foam come up as colored bubbles instead of white blue is

colored bubbles instead of white blue is

colored bubbles instead of white blue is usually the most concentrated food

usually the most concentrated food

usually the most concentrated food coloring color so I’m going to add

coloring color so I’m going to add

coloring color so I’m going to add plenty of that to our liquid and then

plenty of that to our liquid and then

plenty of that to our liquid and then blow some bubbles in and see what

blow some bubbles in and see what

blow some bubbles in and see what happens to our foam because I want to

happens to our foam because I want to

happens to our foam because I want to give these bubbles the best chance of

give these bubbles the best chance of

give these bubbles the best chance of picking up the blue color I’m using a

picking up the blue color I’m using a

picking up the blue color I’m using a lot of dye probably only would have

lot of dye probably only would have

lot of dye probably only would have taken about one drop to turn all of this

taken about one drop to turn all of this

taken about one drop to turn all of this water blue nice dark blue diluted soap

water blue nice dark blue diluted soap

water blue nice dark blue diluted soap all right now I’m just gonna use my

all right now I’m just gonna use my

all right now I’m just gonna use my mouth and blow some air in to see if we

mouth and blow some air in to see if we

mouth and blow some air in to see if we get any sort of color in these bubbles

there you go you can see that there

there you go you can see that there really isn’t almost any blue tint

really isn’t almost any blue tint

really isn’t almost any blue tint there’s maybe it looks like a little bit

there’s maybe it looks like a little bit

there’s maybe it looks like a little bit down at the bottom but I think you’re

down at the bottom but I think you’re

down at the bottom but I think you’re just seeing through the bubbles to the

just seeing through the bubbles to the

just seeing through the bubbles to the blue liquid below the actual foam as it

blue liquid below the actual foam as it

blue liquid below the actual foam as it comes off really has no color whatsoever

comes off really has no color whatsoever

comes off really has no color whatsoever it’s still the same shade of white that

it’s still the same shade of white that

it’s still the same shade of white that it was before so let’s talk about what’s

it was before so let’s talk about what’s

it was before so let’s talk about what’s happening and why we aren’t getting any

happening and why we aren’t getting any

happening and why we aren’t getting any color in the bubbles themselves when the

color in the bubbles themselves when the

color in the bubbles themselves when the bubbles are forming they’re an extremely

bubbles are forming they’re an extremely

bubbles are forming they’re an extremely thin film surrounding whatever gas it

thin film surrounding whatever gas it

thin film surrounding whatever gas it was that filled them up it’s so thin

was that filled them up it’s so thin

was that filled them up it’s so thin that it really isn’t able to hold any

that it really isn’t able to hold any

that it really isn’t able to hold any color of its own so the soap that’s

color of its own so the soap that’s

color of its own so the soap that’s forming these bubbles actually contains

forming these bubbles actually contains

forming these bubbles actually contains the blue dye in it but it’s spread out

the blue dye in it but it’s spread out

the blue dye in it but it’s spread out so much that it can’t really add any

so much that it can’t really add any

so much that it can’t really add any color to it the reason these look white

color to it the reason these look white

color to it the reason these look white is they’re actually clear reflecting the

is they’re actually clear reflecting the

is they’re actually clear reflecting the light around and since all the light we

light around and since all the light we

light around and since all the light we have shining in the studio and outside

have shining in the studio and outside

have shining in the studio and outside is white light the bubbles appear white

is white light the bubbles appear white

is white light the bubbles appear white the only way to really change the color

the only way to really change the color

the only way to really change the color would be to either use a colored smoke

would be to either use a colored smoke

would be to either use a colored smoke to fill them or if you’ve shown a

to fill them or if you’ve shown a

to fill them or if you’ve shown a different color like on to the bubbles

different color like on to the bubbles

different color like on to the bubbles so unfortunately because bubbles are so

so unfortunately because bubbles are so

so unfortunately because bubbles are so thin it looks like using food coloring

thin it looks like using food coloring

thin it looks like using food coloring to dye the bubbles doesn’t work out too

to dye the bubbles doesn’t work out too

to dye the bubbles doesn’t work out too well however I do have a few other

well however I do have a few other

well however I do have a few other things I don’t want to try the first of

things I don’t want to try the first of

things I don’t want to try the first of which is using hydrogen to fill these

which is using hydrogen to fill these

which is using hydrogen to fill these bubbles instead of helium let’s take

bubbles instead of helium let’s take

bubbles instead of helium let’s take this outside so here we have our giant

this outside so here we have our giant

this outside so here we have our giant tank of hydrogen our pressure regulator

tank of hydrogen our pressure regulator

tank of hydrogen our pressure regulator which is apparently absolutely essential

which is apparently absolutely essential

which is apparently absolutely essential to getting hydrogen safely out of a tank

to getting hydrogen safely out of a tank

to getting hydrogen safely out of a tank so we have that it’s got two different

so we have that it’s got two different

so we have that it’s got two different valves to control actually it’s got

valves to control actually it’s got

valves to control actually it’s got three valves one here and then two on

three valves one here and then two on

three valves one here and then two on the regulator just to control very

the regulator just to control very

the regulator just to control very carefully the speed and pressure at

carefully the speed and pressure at

carefully the speed and pressure at which our hydrogen is leaving the tank

which our hydrogen is leaving the tank

which our hydrogen is leaving the tank I’ve got our bubble soap already I’m

I’ve got our bubble soap already I’m

I’ve got our bubble soap already I’m still using the blue stuff because why

still using the blue stuff because why

still using the blue stuff because why waste bubble soap but as we’ve learned

waste bubble soap but as we’ve learned

waste bubble soap but as we’ve learned unfortunately that will not give us blue

unfortunately that will not give us blue

unfortunately that will not give us blue bubbles let’s see if the hydrogen has

bubbles let’s see if the hydrogen has

bubbles let’s see if the hydrogen has any more lift to it than the helium did

any more lift to it than the helium did

any more lift to it than the helium did open this valve and then as I slowly

open this valve and then as I slowly

open this valve and then as I slowly turn this one it will let a little bit

turn this one it will let a little bit

turn this one it will let a little bit of hydrogen through at a time and that

of hydrogen through at a time and that

of hydrogen through at a time and that will immediately start bubbling up down

will immediately start bubbling up down

will immediately start bubbling up down in our pan

a little bit windy out here today so our

a little bit windy out here today so our bubbles are already straining to get

bubbles are already straining to get

bubbles are already straining to get free get it free see what happens

free get it free see what happens

free get it free see what happens [Music]

boom flying up into the air obliterate

boom flying up into the air obliterate chop into thousand pieces by the tree

chop into thousand pieces by the tree

chop into thousand pieces by the tree branches whoo balloon attacked our

branches whoo balloon attacked our

branches whoo balloon attacked our cameraman I think we’ve shown that

cameraman I think we’ve shown that

cameraman I think we’ve shown that hydrogen works pretty well

hydrogen works pretty well

hydrogen works pretty well probably lifts even better than helium

probably lifts even better than helium

probably lifts even better than helium now I want to try cutting a stencil

now I want to try cutting a stencil

now I want to try cutting a stencil shape out of foam core to see if we can

shape out of foam core to see if we can

shape out of foam core to see if we can control the shape of the foam balloons

control the shape of the foam balloons

control the shape of the foam balloons coming out of our generator well I think

coming out of our generator well I think

coming out of our generator well I think to start out we’ll just try a triangle

it’s not the most perfect triangle I’ve

it’s not the most perfect triangle I’ve ever seen but I think it’ll work now I

ever seen but I think it’ll work now I

ever seen but I think it’ll work now I do want this to sit flush so I’m gonna

do want this to sit flush so I’m gonna

do want this to sit flush so I’m gonna add a little bit of a notch where the

add a little bit of a notch where the

add a little bit of a notch where the hose comes out just so I’m not squishing

hose comes out just so I’m not squishing

hose comes out just so I’m not squishing that I’ll seal it all up with tape so

that I’ll seal it all up with tape so

that I’ll seal it all up with tape so it’s on there pretty well it looks like

it’s on there pretty well it looks like

it’s on there pretty well it looks like it should work all right

all right looks like our board is pretty

all right looks like our board is pretty well attached so let’s see if we can get

well attached so let’s see if we can get

well attached so let’s see if we can get some triangle-shaped bubbles come out of

some triangle-shaped bubbles come out of

some triangle-shaped bubbles come out of our foam generator

our foam generator

our foam generator [Music]

well it’s not working wonderfully our

well it’s not working wonderfully our stencil isn’t really doing much to

stencil isn’t really doing much to

stencil isn’t really doing much to control the shape of the bubbles so I

control the shape of the bubbles so I

control the shape of the bubbles so I have an idea that I want to try to see

have an idea that I want to try to see

have an idea that I want to try to see if we can get the bubbles to travel in a

if we can get the bubbles to travel in a

if we can get the bubbles to travel in a more uniform direction part of the

more uniform direction part of the

more uniform direction part of the problem is that they’re coming from all

problem is that they’re coming from all

problem is that they’re coming from all sides and they’re really getting

sides and they’re really getting

sides and they’re really getting squished through sort of a bottleneck

squished through sort of a bottleneck

squished through sort of a bottleneck there’s also the fact that our bubbles

there’s also the fact that our bubbles

there’s also the fact that our bubbles are a little larger than I’d like them

are a little larger than I’d like them

are a little larger than I’d like them to be which makes it so it’s hard to get

to be which makes it so it’s hard to get

to be which makes it so it’s hard to get any sort of resolution or definition in

any sort of resolution or definition in

any sort of resolution or definition in our stencil as the bubbles are coming

our stencil as the bubbles are coming

our stencil as the bubbles are coming out through it

out through it

out through it [Music]

so I’ve put our whole bubble generator

so I’ve put our whole bubble generator down at the bottom of a bucket and I

down at the bottom of a bucket and I

down at the bottom of a bucket and I want to see if that makes a difference

want to see if that makes a difference

want to see if that makes a difference in how it rises up out I think we might

in how it rises up out I think we might

in how it rises up out I think we might be able to have a more smooth uniform

be able to have a more smooth uniform

be able to have a more smooth uniform transition with the bubbles rising out

transition with the bubbles rising out

transition with the bubbles rising out this way well test it alright let’s see

this way well test it alright let’s see

this way well test it alright let’s see how this works out so far so good making

how this works out so far so good making

how this works out so far so good making bubbles they float large part of what

bubbles they float large part of what

bubbles they float large part of what we’re going for right there yeah we’re

we’re going for right there yeah we’re

we’re going for right there yeah we’re getting nice thin layers of bubbles now

getting nice thin layers of bubbles now

getting nice thin layers of bubbles now that’s a step in a good direction

that’s a step in a good direction

that’s a step in a good direction now these bubbles are still a little

now these bubbles are still a little

now these bubbles are still a little larger as in each individual bubble is a

larger as in each individual bubble is a

larger as in each individual bubble is a larger size than I would ideally like

larger size than I would ideally like

larger size than I would ideally like but there’s also the fact that as the

but there’s also the fact that as the

but there’s also the fact that as the bubbles fill up the whole bucket the

bubbles fill up the whole bucket the

bubbles fill up the whole bucket the excess bubble fluid that’s around them

excess bubble fluid that’s around them

excess bubble fluid that’s around them has more of a chance to drain off so we

has more of a chance to drain off so we

has more of a chance to drain off so we have what’s actually a little bit dryer

have what’s actually a little bit dryer

have what’s actually a little bit dryer of bubbles and I’m hoping that that will

of bubbles and I’m hoping that that will

of bubbles and I’m hoping that that will also work better with our stencils let’s

also work better with our stencils let’s

also work better with our stencils let’s give this another shot

give this another shot

give this another shot letting it grow a little too high at

letting it grow a little too high at

letting it grow a little too high at first just to let it even out

[Music]

[Music] Hey look that looks like a triangle it’s

Hey look that looks like a triangle it’s

Hey look that looks like a triangle it’s not a great triangle but its triangle ha

not a great triangle but its triangle ha

not a great triangle but its triangle ha shapes

I’m just let this one go for a little

I’m just let this one go for a little bit we’re getting a nice prism shape all

bit we’re getting a nice prism shape all

bit we’re getting a nice prism shape all right that worked out pretty well now

right that worked out pretty well now

right that worked out pretty well now I’m gonna try a slightly more

I’m gonna try a slightly more

I’m gonna try a slightly more complicated shape and see if we can get

complicated shape and see if we can get

complicated shape and see if we can get that to work we’ve got a king for a king

that to work we’ve got a king for a king

that to work we’ve got a king for a king of random we’re gonna see if we can make

of random we’re gonna see if we can make

of random we’re gonna see if we can make some bubble hydrogen foam caves float

we got some good shapes out of it let’s

we got some good shapes out of it let’s move on in the next experiment which is

move on in the next experiment which is

move on in the next experiment which is to see how big we can make this work

to see how big we can make this work

to see how big we can make this work I’ve taken this three-foot plastic

we want for some good even bubbles let’s

we want for some good even bubbles let’s add some gas and see how this works well

add some gas and see how this works well

add some gas and see how this works well you can definitely see it forming a lot
