hey guys welcome back thanks for joining me today on the king of random our
me today on the king of random our
me today on the king of random our experiment today is something I’m very
experiment today is something I’m very
experiment today is something I’m very excited to try because it’s something
excited to try because it’s something
excited to try because it’s something I’ve wondered about for a long time I’ve
I’ve wondered about for a long time I’ve
I’ve wondered about for a long time I’ve often wondered how different things
often wondered how different things
often wondered how different things would burn in a vacuum chamber but it’s
would burn in a vacuum chamber but it’s
would burn in a vacuum chamber but it’s really hard to get something ignited
really hard to get something ignited
really hard to get something ignited inside there you can’t really have a
inside there you can’t really have a
inside there you can’t really have a blowtorch because there’s no way to turn
blowtorch because there’s no way to turn
blowtorch because there’s no way to turn it on and it’s adding fuel which is
it on and it’s adding fuel which is
it on and it’s adding fuel which is gonna make vapors and you can’t really
gonna make vapors and you can’t really
gonna make vapors and you can’t really light matches inside because you can’t
light matches inside because you can’t
light matches inside because you can’t reach in while it’s a vacuum
reach in while it’s a vacuum
reach in while it’s a vacuum I think the Soraa scorcher is the
I think the Soraa scorcher is the
I think the Soraa scorcher is the perfect solution for that the focus
perfect solution for that the focus
perfect solution for that the focus light from the solar scorcher will add
light from the solar scorcher will add
light from the solar scorcher will add heat inside the vacuum chamber but no
heat inside the vacuum chamber but no
heat inside the vacuum chamber but no fuel or anything with mass so it should
fuel or anything with mass so it should
fuel or anything with mass so it should work to light things on fire the
work to light things on fire the
work to light things on fire the question is what happens after they
question is what happens after they
question is what happens after they start burning so the purpose of today’s
start burning so the purpose of today’s
start burning so the purpose of today’s video is to see if we can cook
video is to see if we can cook
video is to see if we can cook marshmallows in our simulated outer
marshmallows in our simulated outer
marshmallows in our simulated outer space after we’re finished with the
space after we’re finished with the
space after we’re finished with the marshmallows we’ll probably try throwing
marshmallows we’ll probably try throwing
marshmallows we’ll probably try throwing a few more things in the vacuum chambers
a few more things in the vacuum chambers
a few more things in the vacuum chambers see what happens if you burn them
see what happens if you burn them
see what happens if you burn them without any air or pressure of course to
without any air or pressure of course to
without any air or pressure of course to be using the solar scorcher we need
be using the solar scorcher we need
be using the solar scorcher we need sunlight so let’s head outside we’ve got
sunlight so let’s head outside we’ve got
sunlight so let’s head outside we’ve got a vacuum chamber we’ve got a solar
a vacuum chamber we’ve got a solar
a vacuum chamber we’ve got a solar scorcher and now that we’re outside
scorcher and now that we’re outside
scorcher and now that we’re outside we’ve got some good sunshine let’s see
we’ve got some good sunshine let’s see
we’ve got some good sunshine let’s see how marshmallows cook in outer space in
how marshmallows cook in outer space in
how marshmallows cook in outer space in a jar oh there’s our marshmallow already
a jar oh there’s our marshmallow already
a jar oh there’s our marshmallow already growing they grow up so fast oh and now
growing they grow up so fast oh and now
growing they grow up so fast oh and now it’s collapsing back down again
it’s collapsing back down again
it’s collapsing back down again [Applause]
[Applause]
[Applause] all right this little jar pulls a vacuum
all right this little jar pulls a vacuum
all right this little jar pulls a vacuum pretty fast we go our gauge is saying
pretty fast we go our gauge is saying
pretty fast we go our gauge is saying that we have about 26 inches of mercury
that we have about 26 inches of mercury
that we have about 26 inches of mercury of negative pressure in there so now
of negative pressure in there so now
of negative pressure in there so now let’s see if we can cook our marshmallow
let’s see if we can cook our marshmallow
let’s see if we can cook our marshmallow through the glass all right I can focus
through the glass all right I can focus
through the glass all right I can focus it more than that but I’m sure that
it more than that but I’m sure that
it more than that but I’m sure that would just burn the marshmallow right
would just burn the marshmallow right
would just burn the marshmallow right away I’m trying to see if I could get
away I’m trying to see if I could get
away I’m trying to see if I could get kind of a nice cooked surface on it you
kind of a nice cooked surface on it you
kind of a nice cooked surface on it you know what just to make sure that it is
know what just to make sure that it is
know what just to make sure that it is doing something I am gonna focus in a
doing something I am gonna focus in a
doing something I am gonna focus in a dot and see if the marshmallow burns Oh
dot and see if the marshmallow burns Oh
dot and see if the marshmallow burns Oh yep
yep
yep it burns look at that smoke it didn’t
it burns look at that smoke it didn’t
it burns look at that smoke it didn’t like travel anywhere just kind of just
like travel anywhere just kind of just
like travel anywhere just kind of just hanging around in the same spot let’s do
hanging around in the same spot let’s do
hanging around in the same spot let’s do that again for some more smoke that’s a
that again for some more smoke that’s a
that again for some more smoke that’s a neat little effect and now it’s like
neat little effect and now it’s like
neat little effect and now it’s like falling to the bottom I kind of thought
falling to the bottom I kind of thought
falling to the bottom I kind of thought it would just instantly fill the whole
it would just instantly fill the whole
it would just instantly fill the whole container since the container has no air
container since the container has no air
container since the container has no air in it and now the dark spots on the
in it and now the dark spots on the
in it and now the dark spots on the marshmallow are burning more than the
marshmallow are burning more than the
marshmallow are burning more than the light spots because they absorb more of
light spots because they absorb more of
light spots because they absorb more of the heat focus off of those a little bit
the heat focus off of those a little bit
the heat focus off of those a little bit think I’m getting a pretty good result
think I’m getting a pretty good result
think I’m getting a pretty good result if I almost focus it into a point you
if I almost focus it into a point you
if I almost focus it into a point you know what that’s too much fun I’m just
know what that’s too much fun I’m just
know what that’s too much fun I’m just gonna make a lot of smoke
that’s so funny the way it just like
that’s so funny the way it just like shoots up like that it’s so fun a smoke
shoots up like that it’s so fun a smoke
shoots up like that it’s so fun a smoke is settling at the bottom
is settling at the bottom
is settling at the bottom I guess the smoke has mass and there’s
I guess the smoke has mass and there’s
I guess the smoke has mass and there’s nothing else for it to rise above so it
nothing else for it to rise above so it
nothing else for it to rise above so it just stays at the bottom make some more
just stays at the bottom make some more
just stays at the bottom make some more [Music]
[Music]
[Music] think now I’m mostly just burning
think now I’m mostly just burning
think now I’m mostly just burning splattered marshmallow on the side of
splattered marshmallow on the side of
splattered marshmallow on the side of the glass all right let’s repress your
the glass all right let’s repress your
the glass all right let’s repress your eyes
eyes
eyes [Music]
[Music]
[Music] [Applause]
[Applause]
[Applause] oh it smells like marshmallow it smells
oh it smells like marshmallow it smells
oh it smells like marshmallow it smells like burnt marshmallow that’s the
like burnt marshmallow that’s the
like burnt marshmallow that’s the funkiest looking oh that is so weird the
funkiest looking oh that is so weird the
funkiest looking oh that is so weird the crystallized sugar kind of holds its
crystallized sugar kind of holds its
crystallized sugar kind of holds its shape but the rest of the marshmallow
shape but the rest of the marshmallow
shape but the rest of the marshmallow doesn’t at all so it just kind of
doesn’t at all so it just kind of
doesn’t at all so it just kind of collapsed around the burned portions
collapsed around the burned portions
collapsed around the burned portions it’s so sad looking almost like a
it’s so sad looking almost like a
it’s so sad looking almost like a weirdly large piece of popcorn well I’m
weirdly large piece of popcorn well I’m
weirdly large piece of popcorn well I’m gonna eat it mmm there’s like burnt
gonna eat it mmm there’s like burnt
gonna eat it mmm there’s like burnt sugar there you go using sunlight to
sugar there you go using sunlight to
sugar there you go using sunlight to cook marshmallows in our simulated outer
cook marshmallows in our simulated outer
cook marshmallows in our simulated outer space the result is that while you can
space the result is that while you can
space the result is that while you can cook them it’s very slow it’s very hard
cook them it’s very slow it’s very hard
cook them it’s very slow it’s very hard to do evenly and the heat doesn’t
to do evenly and the heat doesn’t
to do evenly and the heat doesn’t distribute through the marshmallow very
distribute through the marshmallow very
distribute through the marshmallow very well at all so you just get kind of a
well at all so you just get kind of a
well at all so you just get kind of a shrunken raisin husk of a marshmallow
shrunken raisin husk of a marshmallow
shrunken raisin husk of a marshmallow with a little bit of cooked parts on it
with a little bit of cooked parts on it
with a little bit of cooked parts on it however the solar scorcher is putting
however the solar scorcher is putting
however the solar scorcher is putting heat through the glass into the vacuum
heat through the glass into the vacuum
heat through the glass into the vacuum chamber so let’s try some other things
chamber so let’s try some other things
chamber so let’s try some other things in there and see how well they burn to
in there and see how well they burn to
in there and see how well they burn to protect the glass of a vacuum jar I’ve
protect the glass of a vacuum jar I’ve
protect the glass of a vacuum jar I’ve got a piece of styrofoam of an inch
got a piece of styrofoam of an inch
got a piece of styrofoam of an inch thick and some foil I’m just gonna wrap
thick and some foil I’m just gonna wrap
thick and some foil I’m just gonna wrap the foil around the styrofoam and use
the foil around the styrofoam and use
the foil around the styrofoam and use that to put stuff on while I burn it
that to put stuff on while I burn it
that to put stuff on while I burn it the first thing I’m gonna try burning is
the first thing I’m gonna try burning is
the first thing I’m gonna try burning is some matches obviously in a vacuum
some matches obviously in a vacuum
some matches obviously in a vacuum there’s not going to be any oxygen of
there’s not going to be any oxygen of
there’s not going to be any oxygen of pressure but hopefully the match heads
pressure but hopefully the match heads
pressure but hopefully the match heads will still at least ignite a little bit
will still at least ignite a little bit
will still at least ignite a little bit when they’re hit with the heat from
when they’re hit with the heat from
when they’re hit with the heat from solar scorcher and hit this first match
solar scorcher and hit this first match
solar scorcher and hit this first match here see what happens with concentrated
here see what happens with concentrated
here see what happens with concentrated sunlight
not a whole lot smoke flew off of it but
not a whole lot smoke flew off of it but it didn’t flare up even a little bit I
it didn’t flare up even a little bit I
it didn’t flare up even a little bit I thought that some like I thought we
thought that some like I thought we
thought that some like I thought we would see it burning a little bit more
would see it burning a little bit more
would see it burning a little bit more than that let’s try this next one see
than that let’s try this next one see
than that let’s try this next one see the smoke looks oh there goes faster so
the smoke looks oh there goes faster so
the smoke looks oh there goes faster so there is a fast point where it goes off
there is a fast point where it goes off
there is a fast point where it goes off that’s something all right one more
that’s something all right one more
that’s something all right one more there it goes
there it goes
there it goes the texture on that is pretty
the texture on that is pretty
the texture on that is pretty interesting it doesn’t look anything
interesting it doesn’t look anything
interesting it doesn’t look anything like a normal burned match it’s like I
like a normal burned match it’s like I
like a normal burned match it’s like I dip it in glue and then stuck a bunch of
dip it in glue and then stuck a bunch of
dip it in glue and then stuck a bunch of sand to it or something next up was try
sand to it or something next up was try
sand to it or something next up was try lighting a little bit of firework fuse
lighting a little bit of firework fuse
lighting a little bit of firework fuse the match heads had a really hard time
the match heads had a really hard time
the match heads had a really hard time lighting so I’m not sure if the fuse is
lighting so I’m not sure if the fuse is
lighting so I’m not sure if the fuse is going to be able to pass its ignition
going to be able to pass its ignition
going to be able to pass its ignition down the line
kind of here it
kind of here it [Music]
[Music]
[Music] it’s still burning it’s burning slower
it’s still burning it’s burning slower
it’s still burning it’s burning slower than normal but it is burning all that
than normal but it is burning all that
than normal but it is burning all that smoke is really thick Oh saw some
smoke is really thick Oh saw some
smoke is really thick Oh saw some movement down at the bottom I think the
movement down at the bottom I think the
movement down at the bottom I think the fuse got short enough that it’s burning
fuse got short enough that it’s burning
fuse got short enough that it’s burning started propelling it around on the
started propelling it around on the
started propelling it around on the bottom launched itself off
[Applause]
[Applause] [Music]
that a nice smoke spot on our lid fuses
that a nice smoke spot on our lid fuses make a lot of smoke apparently wow
make a lot of smoke apparently wow
make a lot of smoke apparently wow there’s a little bit of remnants in
there’s a little bit of remnants in
there’s a little bit of remnants in there but for the most part the fuse is
there but for the most part the fuse is
there but for the most part the fuse is gone so I think it burns slower than
gone so I think it burns slower than
gone so I think it burns slower than normal but it did burn good to know
normal but it did burn good to know
normal but it did burn good to know well that’s so thick look at the
well that’s so thick look at the
well that’s so thick look at the difference of this what I’ve wiped it
difference of this what I’ve wiped it
difference of this what I’ve wiped it off very big smoke that builds up on the
off very big smoke that builds up on the
off very big smoke that builds up on the walls if you smoked a lot we’re gonna
walls if you smoked a lot we’re gonna
walls if you smoked a lot we’re gonna try and one-up that by just lighting off
try and one-up that by just lighting off
try and one-up that by just lighting off some of our colored smoke powder
some of our colored smoke powder
some of our colored smoke powder normally the smoke powder has a chain
normally the smoke powder has a chain
normally the smoke powder has a chain reaction if you ignite just one part of
reaction if you ignite just one part of
reaction if you ignite just one part of it and the whole thing will get lit I
it and the whole thing will get lit I
it and the whole thing will get lit I kind of don’t think it’s gonna work that
kind of don’t think it’s gonna work that
kind of don’t think it’s gonna work that way with this stuff we’re definitely
way with this stuff we’re definitely
way with this stuff we’re definitely getting smoke that parts for sure see if
getting smoke that parts for sure see if
getting smoke that parts for sure see if it keeps itself going at all nope it’s
it keeps itself going at all nope it’s
it keeps itself going at all nope it’s gone out pretty much completely and for
gone out pretty much completely and for
gone out pretty much completely and for whatever reason it keeps spraying the
whatever reason it keeps spraying the
whatever reason it keeps spraying the smoke right at the glass it makes it
smoke right at the glass it makes it
smoke right at the glass it makes it harder to heat up this kind of cool you
harder to heat up this kind of cool you
harder to heat up this kind of cool you can see the whole focus point through
can see the whole focus point through
can see the whole focus point through the smoke though oh yeah look at that
the smoke though oh yeah look at that
the smoke though oh yeah look at that and see that our glass focus from the
and see that our glass focus from the
and see that our glass focus from the solar scorcher definitely starts burning
solar scorcher definitely starts burning
solar scorcher definitely starts burning it definitely gives off smoke it just
it definitely gives off smoke it just
it definitely gives off smoke it just won’t burn the rest of it in a chain
won’t burn the rest of it in a chain
won’t burn the rest of it in a chain reaction I have here some of our zinc
reaction I have here some of our zinc
reaction I have here some of our zinc and sulfur rocket fuel which we showed
and sulfur rocket fuel which we showed
and sulfur rocket fuel which we showed you how to make in a previous video and
you how to make in a previous video and
you how to make in a previous video and launch pan rockets with I’m gonna see if
launch pan rockets with I’m gonna see if
launch pan rockets with I’m gonna see if I can like this with the solar scorcher
I can like this with the solar scorcher
I can like this with the solar scorcher in the vacuum chamber
I like the smoke powdery it it reacts
I like the smoke powdery it it reacts but it doesn’t have the ability to have
but it doesn’t have the ability to have
but it doesn’t have the ability to have the super fast reaction that we would
the super fast reaction that we would
the super fast reaction that we would expect

expect oh oh that’s zinc oxide or sulfide it
oh oh that’s zinc oxide or sulfide it
oh oh that’s zinc oxide or sulfide it reacted we can’t see him Kevin cuz it’s
reacted we can’t see him Kevin cuz it’s
reacted we can’t see him Kevin cuz it’s covered in smoke but it reacted
covered in smoke but it reacted
covered in smoke but it reacted definitely took a lot more heat check
definitely took a lot more heat check
definitely took a lot more heat check this out Green Smoke on the side of the

what happened we have a slow-mo camera
what happened we have a slow-mo camera we can look at that but I think it’s
we can look at that but I think it’s

just gonna get obscured in slo-mo that
just gonna get obscured in slo-mo that looks pretty gnarly there that out he
looks pretty gnarly there that out he
looks pretty gnarly there that out he zinc sulfide formed in a vacuum that’s a
zinc sulfide formed in a vacuum that’s a
zinc sulfide formed in a vacuum that’s a much larger structure than we were
much larger structure than we were
much larger structure than we were getting we just lift this off by itself
getting we just lift this off by itself
getting we just lift this off by itself I talked about how the smoke from the
I talked about how the smoke from the
I talked about how the smoke from the fuse was fairly opaque via this like you
fuse was fairly opaque via this like you
fuse was fairly opaque via this like you can’t you can’t see through that at all
can’t you can’t see through that at all
can’t you can’t see through that at all there’s a solid block of powder there is
there’s a solid block of powder there is
there’s a solid block of powder there is one more thing I want to try and that’s
one more thing I want to try and that’s
one more thing I want to try and that’s igniting thermite in a vacuum
igniting thermite in a vacuum
igniting thermite in a vacuum now thermite should provide its own
now thermite should provide its own
now thermite should provide its own oxygen and so it shouldn’t matter if
oxygen and so it shouldn’t matter if
oxygen and so it shouldn’t matter if there is any in there already
there is any in there already
there is any in there already let’s find out
who kind of got a reaction going a few
who kind of got a reaction going a few little beads formed and fell into the
little beads formed and fell into the
little beads formed and fell into the bottom of the cup I thought I was gonna
bottom of the cup I thought I was gonna
bottom of the cup I thought I was gonna start more of it but oh we got a chain
start more of it but oh we got a chain
start more of it but oh we got a chain reaction a little one a short little
reaction a little one a short little
reaction a little one a short little fairly boring for thermite reaction hey
fairly boring for thermite reaction hey
fairly boring for thermite reaction hey it did light that’s the progress we
it did light that’s the progress we
it did light that’s the progress we wanted there you have it simulated outer
wanted there you have it simulated outer
wanted there you have it simulated outer space really stops a lot of stuff from
space really stops a lot of stuff from
space really stops a lot of stuff from burning it was tough to get our
burning it was tough to get our
burning it was tough to get our marshmallows to cook evenly we could get
marshmallows to cook evenly we could get
marshmallows to cook evenly we could get them to burn and we got some really cool
them to burn and we got some really cool
them to burn and we got some really cool smoke patterns flying off of it matches
smoke patterns flying off of it matches
smoke patterns flying off of it matches didn’t really want to burn very well
didn’t really want to burn very well
didn’t really want to burn very well fuse burned very slowly and put off a
fuse burned very slowly and put off a
fuse burned very slowly and put off a lot of smoke our colored smoke powder
lot of smoke our colored smoke powder
lot of smoke our colored smoke powder would make colored smoke but only as
would make colored smoke but only as
would make colored smoke but only as long as the focal point from the fernell
long as the focal point from the fernell
long as the focal point from the fernell ends was really pointed right at it
ends was really pointed right at it
ends was really pointed right at it eventually we did get our rocket fuel to
eventually we did get our rocket fuel to
eventually we did get our rocket fuel to light that was kind of cool it made some
light that was kind of cool it made some
light that was kind of cool it made some green smoke which stained the side of
green smoke which stained the side of
green smoke which stained the side of our vacuum chamber but it wasn’t nearly
our vacuum chamber but it wasn’t nearly
our vacuum chamber but it wasn’t nearly as energetic or fast of a reaction as we
as energetic or fast of a reaction as we
as energetic or fast of a reaction as we normally get and then we tried lighting
normally get and then we tried lighting
normally get and then we tried lighting thermite which we got some reaction out
thermite which we got some reaction out
thermite which we got some reaction out of we got some cool sparks we did
of we got some cool sparks we did
of we got some cool sparks we did eventually get it to react and form a
eventually get it to react and form a
eventually get it to react and form a little puddle of iron at the bottom of
little puddle of iron at the bottom of
little puddle of iron at the bottom of our miniature pot but it wasn’t nearly
our miniature pot but it wasn’t nearly
our miniature pot but it wasn’t nearly as exciting as if you just light it in a
as exciting as if you just light it in a
as exciting as if you just light it in a normal pressurized oxygen-rich
normal pressurized oxygen-rich
normal pressurized oxygen-rich environment if you ever find yourself

floating around in outer space
floating around in outer space definitely don’t try and cook anything
definitely don’t try and cook anything
definitely don’t try and cook anything and tell you’re back in a pressurized
