Nitrocellulose LEGO?


hey what’s up guys welcome back to

hey what’s up guys welcome back to another day experimenting with

another day experimenting with

another day experimenting with pyrotechnics today we’re going to be

pyrotechnics today we’re going to be

pyrotechnics today we’re going to be mixing a little nail polish remover with

mixing a little nail polish remover with

mixing a little nail polish remover with some ping pong balls to make

some ping pong balls to make

some ping pong balls to make nitrocellulose lacquer now for a lot of

nitrocellulose lacquer now for a lot of

nitrocellulose lacquer now for a lot of my pyrotechnic experiments I’ve used

my pyrotechnic experiments I’ve used

my pyrotechnic experiments I’ve used this visco few this is falling weeds but

this visco few this is falling weeds but

this visco few this is falling weeds but the problem with it is not waterproof

the problem with it is not waterproof

the problem with it is not waterproof which means if it got wet or got

which means if it got wet or got

which means if it got wet or got submerged in a puddle of water the seeds

submerged in a puddle of water the seeds

submerged in a puddle of water the seeds would go out so the purpose of today’s

would go out so the purpose of today’s

would go out so the purpose of today’s experiment is to use nail polish remover

experiment is to use nail polish remover

experiment is to use nail polish remover and ping pong balls to make a nitrous

and ping pong balls to make a nitrous

and ping pong balls to make a nitrous cellulose coating which will hopefully

cellulose coating which will hopefully

cellulose coating which will hopefully make it so our fuses can burn underwater

[Music]

[Music] seriously apparently it burns underwater

seriously apparently it burns underwater

seriously apparently it burns underwater that’s no good that was really

that’s no good that was really

that’s no good that was really interesting because last week when I was

interesting because last week when I was

interesting because last week when I was testing this experiment all the fuses I

testing this experiment all the fuses I

testing this experiment all the fuses I put in water went out completely but

put in water went out completely but

put in water went out completely but today they all seem to be burning just

today they all seem to be burning just

today they all seem to be burning just fine I’ve tried for different fuses and

fine I’ve tried for different fuses and

fine I’ve tried for different fuses and all of them burn underwater so the

all of them burn underwater so the

all of them burn underwater so the results can be very inconsistent but

results can be very inconsistent but

results can be very inconsistent but that’s okay we’re going to go ahead and

that’s okay we’re going to go ahead and

that’s okay we’re going to go ahead and make nitro lacquer anyway because it’s a

make nitro lacquer anyway because it’s a

make nitro lacquer anyway because it’s a really cool experiment and just because

really cool experiment and just because

really cool experiment and just because we can so here’s what we want to do we

we can so here’s what we want to do we

we can so here’s what we want to do we want to get some kind of a small jar

want to get some kind of a small jar

want to get some kind of a small jar with a lid and a couple of these

with a lid and a couple of these

with a lid and a couple of these ping-pong balls you get at a sporting

ping-pong balls you get at a sporting

ping-pong balls you get at a sporting goods store the ping pong balls from the

goods store the ping pong balls from the

goods store the ping pong balls from the dollar store will not work they need to

dollar store will not work they need to

dollar store will not work they need to be these professional branded type ting

be these professional branded type ting

be these professional branded type ting pong balls to get a sporting goods store

pong balls to get a sporting goods store

pong balls to get a sporting goods store now if you’ve got the right kind of ping

now if you’ve got the right kind of ping

now if you’ve got the right kind of ping pong balls there’s a really cool trick

pong balls there’s a really cool trick

pong balls there’s a really cool trick you might already be familiar with it

you might already be familiar with it

you might already be familiar with it happens when you touch it with a flame

happens when you touch it with a flame

happens when you touch it with a flame [Music]

[Music]

[Music] ping pong balls are highly flammable

ping pong balls are highly flammable

ping pong balls are highly flammable they go up in flames very very quickly

they go up in flames very very quickly

they go up in flames very very quickly and leave very little residue and that’s

and leave very little residue and that’s

and leave very little residue and that’s because these things are made mostly of

because these things are made mostly of

because these things are made mostly of nitrocellulose so to make a nitro set of

nitrocellulose so to make a nitro set of

nitrocellulose so to make a nitro set of those lacquer all we have to do is take

those lacquer all we have to do is take

those lacquer all we have to do is take a few of these ping pong balls and use

a few of these ping pong balls and use

a few of these ping pong balls and use some nail polish remover to dissolve

some nail polish remover to dissolve

some nail polish remover to dissolve them things are going to happen a lot

them things are going to happen a lot

them things are going to happen a lot quicker and easier if we start shredding

quicker and easier if we start shredding

quicker and easier if we start shredding our ping pong balls into smaller pieces

our ping pong balls into smaller pieces

our ping pong balls into smaller pieces so take that like a pair of scissors and

so take that like a pair of scissors and

so take that like a pair of scissors and cut them up into the smallest pieces you

cut them up into the smallest pieces you

cut them up into the smallest pieces you can get and drop them into a small jar

can get and drop them into a small jar

can get and drop them into a small jar [Music]

[Music]

[Music] so here we are guys after about two

so here we are guys after about two

so here we are guys after about two minutes we’ve got two ping-pong balls

minutes we’ve got two ping-pong balls

minutes we’ve got two ping-pong balls reduced to very small pieces now all we

reduced to very small pieces now all we

reduced to very small pieces now all we have to do is transfer these pieces to

have to do is transfer these pieces to

have to do is transfer these pieces to our small glass container add a little

our small glass container add a little

our small glass container add a little bit of nail polish remover and screw on

bit of nail polish remover and screw on

bit of nail polish remover and screw on the lid then shake it up and wait how

the lid then shake it up and wait how

the lid then shake it up and wait how much nail polish remover do we add that

much nail polish remover do we add that

much nail polish remover do we add that is the question I guess we’re going to

is the question I guess we’re going to

is the question I guess we’re going to experiment and find out I’m going to

experiment and find out I’m going to

experiment and find out I’m going to pour in enough just to come to the top

pour in enough just to come to the top

pour in enough just to come to the top of those pieces

of those pieces

of those pieces [Music]

[Music]

[Music] all right it’s been a couple of minutes

all right it’s been a couple of minutes

all right it’s been a couple of minutes and if we take the lid off now and take

and if we take the lid off now and take

and if we take the lid off now and take a look inside you can see our crispy

a look inside you can see our crispy

a look inside you can see our crispy flakes of ping-pong balls have turned

flakes of ping-pong balls have turned

flakes of ping-pong balls have turned into a goo kind of turn mushy here and I

into a goo kind of turn mushy here and I

into a goo kind of turn mushy here and I suppose the longer we let that fit in

suppose the longer we let that fit in

suppose the longer we let that fit in the acetone the thinner and runner it

the acetone the thinner and runner it

the acetone the thinner and runner it will become but this is the goo that

will become but this is the goo that

will become but this is the goo that we’re looking for we’re going to thin

we’re looking for we’re going to thin

we’re looking for we’re going to thin that out a little bit more you can see

that out a little bit more you can see

that out a little bit more you can see our ping-pong balls are almost turned

our ping-pong balls are almost turned

our ping-pong balls are almost turned into a paste looks like a paper mache

into a paste looks like a paper mache

into a paste looks like a paper mache paste so that’s pretty cool guys you can

paste so that’s pretty cool guys you can

paste so that’s pretty cool guys you can see that after just about three minutes

see that after just about three minutes

see that after just about three minutes our ping-pong balls have dissolved in

our ping-pong balls have dissolved in

our ping-pong balls have dissolved in the nail polish remover to form this

the nail polish remover to form this

the nail polish remover to form this goofy paste which kind of looks like

goofy paste which kind of looks like

goofy paste which kind of looks like wallpaper paste now if we add a little

wallpaper paste now if we add a little

wallpaper paste now if we add a little bit more nail polish remover we can make

bit more nail polish remover we can make

bit more nail polish remover we can make this liquid even run here and in

this liquid even run here and in

this liquid even run here and in contrast if we let it sit out for a

contrast if we let it sit out for a

contrast if we let it sit out for a while the fumes will vaporize off and

while the fumes will vaporize off and

while the fumes will vaporize off and make the substance hard again so

make the substance hard again so

make the substance hard again so theoretically I suppose you can cast

theoretically I suppose you can cast

theoretically I suppose you can cast ping-pong plastic into just about any

ping-pong plastic into just about any

ping-pong plastic into just about any shape you want alright let’s open this

shape you want alright let’s open this

shape you want alright let’s open this thing up until we got here

thing up until we got here

thing up until we got here ooh nice and creamy elbows like school

ooh nice and creamy elbows like school

ooh nice and creamy elbows like school glue pyrotechnic Elmer’s glue I kept

glue pyrotechnic Elmer’s glue I kept

glue pyrotechnic Elmer’s glue I kept adding nail polish remover until all the

adding nail polish remover until all the

adding nail polish remover until all the big chunks dissolved and now it’s very

big chunks dissolved and now it’s very

big chunks dissolved and now it’s very smooth very runny and it’s almost like

smooth very runny and it’s almost like

smooth very runny and it’s almost like paint which means we could use it as a

paint which means we could use it as a

paint which means we could use it as a pyrotechnic coating

pyrotechnic coating

pyrotechnic coating [Applause]

Nexus Titleist LIGO I love it the nail

Nexus Titleist LIGO I love it the nail polish remover is extremely flammable

polish remover is extremely flammable

polish remover is extremely flammable ping-pong balls are extremely flammable

ping-pong balls are extremely flammable

ping-pong balls are extremely flammable do you think this stuff mixed together

do you think this stuff mixed together

do you think this stuff mixed together is extremely flammable oh yeah very

is extremely flammable oh yeah very

is extremely flammable oh yeah very flammable so we have just created a

flammable so we have just created a

flammable so we have just created a pyrotechnic paint that makes me wonder

pyrotechnic paint that makes me wonder

pyrotechnic paint that makes me wonder what we could paint with it look at a

what we could paint with it look at a

what we could paint with it look at a nice shiny surface

pyrotechnic paint that was clothed up a

pyrotechnic paint that was clothed up a turn turn a little nitro Legos

[Music]

[Music] it’s amazing that when I put the fuse

it’s amazing that when I put the fuse

it’s amazing that when I put the fuse into the lacquer here it softens up and

into the lacquer here it softens up and

into the lacquer here it softens up and becomes extremely flexible which makes

becomes extremely flexible which makes

becomes extremely flexible which makes me wonder if the coating isn’t already

me wonder if the coating isn’t already

me wonder if the coating isn’t already infused with the nitrocellulose lacquer

infused with the nitrocellulose lacquer

infused with the nitrocellulose lacquer I’m betting it probably is now the

I’m betting it probably is now the

I’m betting it probably is now the lacquer has hardened you can see the

lacquer has hardened you can see the

lacquer has hardened you can see the fuses gun sniff again doesn’t send like

fuses gun sniff again doesn’t send like

fuses gun sniff again doesn’t send like it did before now it goes out it works

it did before now it goes out it works

it did before now it goes out it works great before we apply the coating oh

great before we apply the coating oh

great before we apply the coating oh [Music]

[Music]

[Music] that’s weird

[Music]

[Music] the nice thing about it is how quickly

the nice thing about it is how quickly

the nice thing about it is how quickly that burn off water will paint

so now here we are guys we turn nail

so now here we are guys we turn nail polish remover and some ping pong balls

polish remover and some ping pong balls

polish remover and some ping pong balls into a white mushy goop that I’m going

into a white mushy goop that I’m going

into a white mushy goop that I’m going to call pyrotechnic paint and there are

to call pyrotechnic paint and there are

to call pyrotechnic paint and there are a few interesting things about its

a few interesting things about its

a few interesting things about its characteristics that we learned during

characteristics that we learned during

characteristics that we learned during these experiments today we started our

these experiments today we started our

these experiments today we started our experiments today with ping pong balls

experiments today with ping pong balls

experiments today with ping pong balls and nail polish remover and the intent

and nail polish remover and the intent

and nail polish remover and the intent to make a waterproof coating for fuses

to make a waterproof coating for fuses

to make a waterproof coating for fuses but in testing our fuses we found that

but in testing our fuses we found that

but in testing our fuses we found that they already burn under water and that’s

they already burn under water and that’s

they already burn under water and that’s probably because they’ve already got

probably because they’ve already got

probably because they’ve already got nicer lacquer built into them we also

nicer lacquer built into them we also

nicer lacquer built into them we also found that we could change the

found that we could change the

found that we could change the consistency of our lacquer by adding

consistency of our lacquer by adding

consistency of our lacquer by adding more nail polish remover and stirring it

more nail polish remover and stirring it

more nail polish remover and stirring it in or just by letting it sit out for a

in or just by letting it sit out for a

in or just by letting it sit out for a while so the acetone could evaporate

while so the acetone could evaporate

while so the acetone could evaporate next we tried smearing the stuff on a

next we tried smearing the stuff on a

next we tried smearing the stuff on a piece of wood and found that it actually

piece of wood and found that it actually

piece of wood and found that it actually does work as a lacquer to help seal and

does work as a lacquer to help seal and

does work as a lacquer to help seal and preserve the finish but we also realize

preserve the finish but we also realize

preserve the finish but we also realize that this lacquer is extremely flammable

that this lacquer is extremely flammable

that this lacquer is extremely flammable and while it can be poured into any mold

and while it can be poured into any mold

and while it can be poured into any mold or painted on any surface it comes into

or painted on any surface it comes into

or painted on any surface it comes into contact with any kind of a spark or a

contact with any kind of a spark or a

contact with any kind of a spark or a flame things can get pretty hot pretty

flame things can get pretty hot pretty

flame things can get pretty hot pretty fast now for one final experiment I

fast now for one final experiment I

fast now for one final experiment I wondered if we could make a firecracker

wondered if we could make a firecracker

wondered if we could make a firecracker that would burn off and explode

that would burn off and explode

that would burn off and explode underwater as well but in testing those

underwater as well but in testing those

underwater as well but in testing those we found that they just went off by

we found that they just went off by

we found that they just went off by themselves anyway in a spectacular
