Making my favorite liquid carcinogen

SUnknownMaking my favorite liquid carcinogen

Thu, Sep 26, 2019
Nigel prepares the highly reactive chemical chromyl chloride from potassium dichromate and sodium chloride (table salt) using concentrated sulfuric acid to initiate the reaction. The acid produces hydrochloric acid from the salt and chromium troxide which react in situ to produce chromyl chloride. Chromyl chloride is a liquid so it is readily separated from the biproducts by distillation.

Making a deadly chemical in my parents' garage

SUnknownMaking a deadly chemical in my parents' garage

Sat, Jan 30, 2021
With a nod to nostalgia Nigel returns to his parents garage to make liquid bromine. It's not the safest of environments for this synthesis because it not only produces caustic, toxic bromine but requires the use of concentrated sulfuric acid in reactions that could get out of control.

Making transparent wood

SUnknownMaking transparent wood

Thu, Apr 29, 2021
A few years ago I tried making transparent wood and it kind of worked. The pieces that I made were somewhat okay, but I was never really happy with the result. I finally decided to try it again though.

Turning plastic gloves into hot sauce

SUnknownTurning plastic gloves into hot sauce

Fri, Feb 25, 2022
Turning plastic gloves into hot sauce is something that I've been wanting to do since I started this channel. I never attempted it though because I knew that it was going to be the longest and hardest project I've ever worked on. However, one day I randomly decided that I was ready and I just got started on it.

Fri, Dec 23, 2022
Thioacetone is something that I've been wanting to make for a while, and now, I finally get to experience its horror. Will it be as horrendously stinky as it is claimed to be? Will it make me pass out and vomit?

Thu, Jun 01, 2023
For this video, I attempt to turn toxic and nasty paint thinner into some beautiful and amazing tasting cherry soda. If I am successful, I can add it to my soda collection, along with my plastic glove grape soda.

Making bulletproof wood

SUnknownMaking bulletproof wood

Mon, Oct 30, 2023
Back in 2020, I read a paper that claimed that bulletproof wood might be possible. The moment that I saw this, I felt that I had to test it myself and I spent the next 3 years working on it.

Making purple gold

SUnknownMaking purple gold

Thu, Dec 21, 2023
A few years ago I stumbled onto something called purple gold and I really wanted to buy a pure purple gold ring. However, I was devastated when I found out that it didn't exist...so I decided to try and make one myself.

Cries from Syria

Cries from Syria

CRIES FROM SYRIA is a searing, comprehensive account of a brutal five-year conflict from the inside out, drawing on hundreds of hours of war footage from Syrian activists and citizen journalists, as well as testimony from child protesters, leaders of the revolution, human rights defenders, ordinary citizens, and high-ranking army generals who defected from the government. Their collective stories are a cry for attention and help from a world that little understands their reality or agrees on what to do about it. A documentary by Evgeny Afineevsky, director of the Oscar-nominated film WINTER ON FIRE, CRIES FROM SYRIA premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.
