Making my favorite liquid carcinogen
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
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
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 cotton balls into cotton candy
For a couple years now, I've been wanting to turn cotton balls into edible (and literal) cotton candy. It took me a while to figure out how to do it, but I finally did it.

Turning plastic gloves into hot sauce
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.

Making the stinkiest chemical known to man
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?

Turning paint thinner into cherry soda
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
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
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.

Turning styrofoam into cinnamon candy
For a while now, I've been wanting to try and turn Styrofoam plastic into some tasty cinnamon candy and I have finally decided to try it.

Baletnyy sindrom

Baletnyy sindrom

Documentary drama about the backstage of Russian ballet. It is no secret for the creative community that ballet dancers more often than others face harassment and blackmail from teachers and theater managers. Despite this, all active dancers claim that theaters and ballet schools are "monasteries with their own charter," which the artist is obliged to accept, and for years they have tolerated the clause about sexual obedience to masters and mentors included in this charter. For what reason are ballet dancers silent about the dark side of the profession and what is their silence really hiding?
