Hydrogen Powered Party Poppers!


hey what’s up guys welcome back so I

hey what’s up guys welcome back so I went down to the dollar store the other

went down to the dollar store the other

went down to the dollar store the other day and I found one of these twelve

day and I found one of these twelve

day and I found one of these twelve packs from party poppers $4 each these

packs from party poppers $4 each these

packs from party poppers $4 each these things are kind of cool when you pull

things are kind of cool when you pull

things are kind of cool when you pull the string they pop out a little bit of

the string they pop out a little bit of

the string they pop out a little bit of a Betty no big deal but for this project

a Betty no big deal but for this project

a Betty no big deal but for this project I thought it’d be fun to take this idea

I thought it’d be fun to take this idea

I thought it’d be fun to take this idea and supersize it by making party poppers

and supersize it by making party poppers

and supersize it by making party poppers that are a lot more powerful now if

that are a lot more powerful now if

that are a lot more powerful now if you’ve ever wondered why a party popper

you’ve ever wondered why a party popper

you’ve ever wondered why a party popper pops when you pull the string you’re in

pops when you pull the string you’re in

pops when you pull the string you’re in luck because we’re going to cut these

luck because we’re going to cut these

luck because we’re going to cut these things open and show you the mechanism

things open and show you the mechanism

things open and show you the mechanism that sets these things off now if you

that sets these things off now if you

that sets these things off now if you slowly and carefully use something like

slowly and carefully use something like

slowly and carefully use something like a pair of scissors to cut around the

a pair of scissors to cut around the

a pair of scissors to cut around the base of the plastic you can remove the

base of the plastic you can remove the

base of the plastic you can remove the top and you’ll be left with a string and

top and you’ll be left with a string and

top and you’ll be left with a string and what looks like a little rolled-up piece

what looks like a little rolled-up piece

what looks like a little rolled-up piece of paper on the end if we take that

of paper on the end if we take that

of paper on the end if we take that little roll that piece of paper and just

little roll that piece of paper and just

little roll that piece of paper and just fairly slowly and carefully unroll it I

fairly slowly and carefully unroll it I

fairly slowly and carefully unroll it I could do this without blowing the

could do this without blowing the

could do this without blowing the fingertips off eventually we’re going to

fingertips off eventually we’re going to

fingertips off eventually we’re going to get to the center and if you look

get to the center and if you look

get to the center and if you look closely you’re going to see there’s a

closely you’re going to see there’s a

closely you’re going to see there’s a little red patch of powder right in the

little red patch of powder right in the

little red patch of powder right in the center of the string this little red dot

center of the string this little red dot

center of the string this little red dot may look small and harmless but this is

may look small and harmless but this is

may look small and harmless but this is Armstrong’s mixture which is a high

Armstrong’s mixture which is a high

Armstrong’s mixture which is a high explosive so sensitive it can get set

explosive so sensitive it can get set

explosive so sensitive it can get set off by friction so as you pull the

off by friction so as you pull the

off by friction so as you pull the string through the friction sets off the

string through the friction sets off the

string through the friction sets off the powder and causes the explosion so

powder and causes the explosion so

powder and causes the explosion so here’s the basic idea

here’s the basic idea

here’s the basic idea let’s bring back the hydrogen generator

let’s bring back the hydrogen generator

let’s bring back the hydrogen generator we made in a previous video pack one of

we made in a previous video pack one of

we made in a previous video pack one of these water bottles full of confetti and

these water bottles full of confetti and

these water bottles full of confetti and use one of these small party poppers as

use one of these small party poppers as

use one of these small party poppers as the igniter to set the whole thing off

the igniter to set the whole thing off

the igniter to set the whole thing off we’re also going to want our party

we’re also going to want our party

we’re also going to want our party poppers to be a little more powerful

poppers to be a little more powerful

poppers to be a little more powerful than one of these lame little explosions

than one of these lame little explosions

than one of these lame little explosions so for that I went down to the local

so for that I went down to the local

so for that I went down to the local Super Center and picked up some of these

Super Center and picked up some of these

Super Center and picked up some of these multicolored pieces of construction

multicolored pieces of construction

multicolored pieces of construction paper as well as a roll of fire

paper as well as a roll of fire

paper as well as a roll of fire resistant party streamers now I had kind

resistant party streamers now I had kind

resistant party streamers now I had kind of a hard time finding actual confetti

of a hard time finding actual confetti

of a hard time finding actual confetti at the store but if we take a bunch of

at the store but if we take a bunch of

at the store but if we take a bunch of construction paper like this and use a

construction paper like this and use a

construction paper like this and use a multi hole punch punch like this we can

multi hole punch punch like this we can

so a couple minutes later we have

so a couple minutes later we have ourselves handfuls upon handfuls of

ourselves handfuls upon handfuls of

ourselves handfuls upon handfuls of these little coloured dots this is going

these little coloured dots this is going

these little coloured dots this is going to be fun now over here we need to turn

to be fun now over here we need to turn

to be fun now over here we need to turn our water bottles into something I like

our water bottles into something I like

our water bottles into something I like to call confetti cartridges and that’s

to call confetti cartridges and that’s

to call confetti cartridges and that’s easily done by taking a few handfuls of

easily done by taking a few handfuls of

easily done by taking a few handfuls of these colored dots shoving them down

these colored dots shoving them down

these colored dots shoving them down into the bottom of our bottle and then

into the bottom of our bottle and then

into the bottom of our bottle and then covering everything with a couple of

covering everything with a couple of

covering everything with a couple of layers of our spires and party streamers

layers of our spires and party streamers

to hold everything in place I’m going to

to hold everything in place I’m going to make a really big mess as I do while I’m

make a really big mess as I do while I’m

make a really big mess as I do while I’m terrible the idea being if we did it

terrible the idea being if we did it

terrible the idea being if we did it right we should be able to turn this

right we should be able to turn this

right we should be able to turn this thing upside down and our colored dots

thing upside down and our colored dots

thing upside down and our colored dots will stay in place now to make these

will stay in place now to make these

will stay in place now to make these things pull string poppers we need to

things pull string poppers we need to

things pull string poppers we need to just slightly modify our water bottle

just slightly modify our water bottle

just slightly modify our water bottle lids for that I’m using a toothpick I

lids for that I’m using a toothpick I

lids for that I’m using a toothpick I need to do is poke a small hole through

need to do is poke a small hole through

need to do is poke a small hole through the center of the cap then bite one end

the center of the cap then bite one end

the center of the cap then bite one end off the toothpick and use the blunt

off the toothpick and use the blunt

off the toothpick and use the blunt surface to push the string from your

surface to push the string from your

surface to push the string from your party popper down through the inside of

party popper down through the inside of

party popper down through the inside of the cap now hydrogen is an extremely

the cap now hydrogen is an extremely

the cap now hydrogen is an extremely light gas and even this small hole the

light gas and even this small hole the

light gas and even this small hole the top will be enough to let that gas rise

top will be enough to let that gas rise

top will be enough to let that gas rise up and escape over time so let’s just

up and escape over time so let’s just

up and escape over time so let’s just use a little bit of this tacky clay to

use a little bit of this tacky clay to

use a little bit of this tacky clay to plug that hole which will give a

plug that hole which will give a

plug that hole which will give a slightly longer shelf life we’re using

slightly longer shelf life we’re using

slightly longer shelf life we’re using our hydrogen bottles so let’s talk about

our hydrogen bottles so let’s talk about

our hydrogen bottles so let’s talk about the hydrogen generator for a second this

the hydrogen generator for a second this

the hydrogen generator for a second this thing actually splits water into two

thing actually splits water into two

thing actually splits water into two molecules hydrogen and oxygen and both

molecules hydrogen and oxygen and both

molecules hydrogen and oxygen and both of those gases combine to make a highly

of those gases combine to make a highly

of those gases combine to make a highly explosive mixture all we have to do is

explosive mixture all we have to do is

explosive mixture all we have to do is fill this thing up with distilled water

fill this thing up with distilled water

fill this thing up with distilled water add a little potassium hydroxide as an

doubling up immediately so right now

doubling up immediately so right now these bubbles are kind of weak and

these bubbles are kind of weak and

these bubbles are kind of weak and that’s because the system is pushing out

that’s because the system is pushing out

that’s because the system is pushing out all of the air that’s trapped inside but

all of the air that’s trapped inside but

all of the air that’s trapped inside but as all the air is pushed out of the

as all the air is pushed out of the

as all the air is pushed out of the system and the hydroxy gas replaces it

system and the hydroxy gas replaces it

system and the hydroxy gas replaces it these bubbles will snap with a bang loud

these bubbles will snap with a bang loud

these bubbles will snap with a bang loud enough to hurt your ears and that’s when

enough to hurt your ears and that’s when

enough to hurt your ears and that’s when they’re ready alright I think our system

they’re ready alright I think our system

they’re ready alright I think our system is good now charging our confetti

is good now charging our confetti

is good now charging our confetti cartridges with hydroxy gas is actually

cartridges with hydroxy gas is actually

cartridges with hydroxy gas is actually a lot easier than you might think

a lot easier than you might think

a lot easier than you might think just take the output end of your hydroxy

just take the output end of your hydroxy

just take the output end of your hydroxy generator stick it inside the bottle and

generator stick it inside the bottle and

generator stick it inside the bottle and hold it upside down for about one minute

hold it upside down for about one minute

hold it upside down for about one minute as the hydrogen and oxygen rise they’re

as the hydrogen and oxygen rise they’re

as the hydrogen and oxygen rise they’re going to displace all the air out of the

going to displace all the air out of the

going to displace all the air out of the bottle until

bottle until

bottle until the hydroxy gas is left at that point

the hydroxy gas is left at that point

the hydroxy gas is left at that point just screw the lid back on your confetti

just screw the lid back on your confetti

just screw the lid back on your confetti cartridge is ready for action update

cartridge is ready for action update

cartridge is ready for action update guys I got my wife with me to test out

guys I got my wife with me to test out

guys I got my wife with me to test out our very first cartridge here and these

our very first cartridge here and these

our very first cartridge here and these things are a lot louder than you might

things are a lot louder than you might

things are a lot louder than you might think so I brought a couple of earplugs

think so I brought a couple of earplugs

coming back and hitting your hand either these things are powerful guys now this

these things are powerful guys now this

these things are powerful guys now this thing should be just about ready so

thing should be just about ready so

thing should be just about ready so let’s go ahead and screw the cap back on

let’s go ahead and screw the cap back on

let’s go ahead and screw the cap back on now all you’re going to do is hold this

now all you’re going to do is hold this

now all you’re going to do is hold this in one hand and when you’re ready pull

in one hand and when you’re ready pull

in one hand and when you’re ready pull the string and let’s see what happens it

the string and let’s see what happens it

the string and let’s see what happens it worked it worked so check out this

worked it worked so check out this

worked it worked so check out this damage guys we got a little bit of a

damage guys we got a little bit of a

damage guys we got a little bit of a exit wound near the neck of the bottle

the room that was awesome apparently we

the room that was awesome apparently we have some spider webs in the basement

have some spider webs in the basement

have some spider webs in the basement here because you can actually see

here because you can actually see

here because you can actually see confetti stuck to the spider webs did

confetti stuck to the spider webs did

confetti stuck to the spider webs did you guys see that when it exploded there

you guys see that when it exploded there

you guys see that when it exploded there was actually like a huge fireball I saw

was actually like a huge fireball I saw

was actually like a huge fireball I saw a blast in my face and then all the

a blast in my face and then all the

a blast in my face and then all the confetti went this way it smells kind of

confetti went this way it smells kind of

confetti went this way it smells kind of like sulfur it smells kind of like

like sulfur it smells kind of like

like sulfur it smells kind of like gunpowder just went off I think that was

gunpowder just went off I think that was

gunpowder just went off I think that was just from the actual pull stirring party

just from the actual pull stirring party

just from the actual pull stirring party popper so the hydrogen doesn’t make that

popper so the hydrogen doesn’t make that

popper so the hydrogen doesn’t make that smell but you can see how much more

smell but you can see how much more

smell but you can see how much more powerful these things are now with the

I think we’re gonna have to do that

I think we’re gonna have to do that again I think the baby can hear those

again I think the baby can hear those

again I think the baby can hear those explosions oh really yeah I think it

explosions oh really yeah I think it

explosions oh really yeah I think it jumped now how did you get your bottle

jumped now how did you get your bottle

jumped now how did you get your bottle to explode but mine busted at the neck I

to explode but mine busted at the neck I

to explode but mine busted at the neck I think I was holding it at an angle you
