Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@6teeth says : Thunder-megalomaniac : IT'S ALIVE !!!!!!! LOL Nice video.>> <<@Full_Stax says : That experiment looked fun!>> <<@simonfraser2668 says : If every science teacher had thunderf00t’s knowledge and enthusiasm image what the world could be like>> <<@simonfraser2668 says : It maybe science but i think he just created art at the same time>> <<@TerezaTaylor-l8f says : Blue flame thrower, so cool.>> <<@smokingsnowman7838 says : About a week agl zhey spraied salt cristals into the clowds in new york to have them reflecr more sunligjt>> <<@RandomloserDK says : 26:22 "Fleece will be fine"... Famous last words. 😆 Fleece likes to melt to your skin. ❤‍🔥>> <<@transrightsftw says : Just yesterday, I learned about LiHF fuel from the Rocketdyne tests in the 60s, and I remembered your experiments with NaK, and thought that it was obvious that it should be used as a fuel. I didn't realize how far you had come in making this NaK engine! I haven't finished watching this video yet, so I don't know if you solved the issues I was running into for the concept, but the main thing I was trying to figure out is the surface tension of the NaK. I couldn't find the information ANYWHERE, except from a handbook from the 70s, and it outright stated that the referenced experiments were most likely unreliable. The surface tension of NaK is incredibly important to figure out in order to get a good particle size in any kind of sprayer. I am probably going to edit this comment once I finish the video. I am ridiculously excited for this.>> <<@ingenitussapientia says : Why no working sodium engine prototype yet? Youtube is literally empty of this idea except for your videos.>> <<@6teeth318-w5k says : 23:30 Now that is a very very different reaction Phil has, than when you see the bogus people telling about " Fantastic new thing perhaps coming". This must be so rewardfull for the mind and soul. Nice going Phil. I can feel the excitement all the way into my living room in Denmark.>> <<@mouhou9795 says : The sodium potassium fire looks beautiful. Hope we get to see more of it in the future.>> <<@WJCTechyman says : Watching you do this video was stressful, exciting and very informative. I had some Adam Savage vibes when you were watching the playback as your excited expressions kinda mimicked his.>> <<@baileymoody3916 says : Innovation that excites.>> <<@chrisgeorge6321 says : go into more detail how you think sodium would slow the effects of climate change. thats interesting shit>> <<@diddlethepoodle4812 says : I've never seen someone geek out over combustion and injectors. 😂 I love it.>> <<@1st_ProCactus says : Listening to this makes me feel like I've been spat on and now I need a shower. I get only watched a couple of minutes and already I feel like I'm covered in spit.>> <<@karls4777 says : Question: If you put this mixer under pressure or into diesel type setup, would it self ignite? And if it does would it be too explosive?>> <<@Holeefooks says : Isn’t there a man that going to make a sodium reactor in space apparently he’s being employed and payed large amounts of money by Saudi Arabia first one on ground I don’t know I forget can’t find vid or info on google>> <<@alishatruman says : 🔥>> <<@collinthomas8440 says : Not to oversimplify things too much.... "Outside the design specifications"= hasn't been thoroughly tested yet. This looks like a great first test.>> <<@eriksrasolovs2235 says : Considering the PRN 93-4: Ban on Aerosol Products Containing CFCs and HCFCs under the Clean Air Act, which highlights concerns about certain aerosols damaging the ozone layer, do you know if the subsequent reactions resulting from the breakdown of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) aerosol have no harmful effects on the environment or ecosystems?>> <<@TardigradeTough says : The problem with changing the whole atmosphere to help counteract climate change is you don't really know 100% what will happen coz it's never been done before, it may work in the lab but until you actually do it on a planet wide scale, nobody can really know. And if we get it wrong? Maybe even more screwed than it seems we might be already. But because I don't truly understand the science behind climate change, I'll withhold judgement on what I'm being told by politians and the media, their track record for truth isn't confidence building!>> <<@timwatz2330 says : Could the reason, why it didn't ignite at first be a thin oxide layer und the potassium sodium alloy. Or maybe there was still some parrafin that coated the alloy. Anyway, this is awesome. I think you could have kept going until the injector died to get a better exposure on the high speed footage. Well, unless you're planning on using the injector for another experiment that is.>> <<@gh7319 says : Love to see it tried in a real engine, might I suggest an old Gardner diesel, if any engine is likely to survive a lot of punishment it's one of them.>> <<@fastst1 says : Solar roadways to realease a busting thunderfoot video :)>> <<@zachw2906 says : This is my favorite thunderf00t - the one who is displaying childlike wonder at scientific discovery. Thunderf00t, if you still read these, I really think you ought to take better care of yourself - I don't like the way you practically had to reach under the stream to activate the firing sequencer. Maybe lengthen those wires a bit and put the sequencer off to the side?>> <<@chicken29843 says : So like in a theoretical combustion chamber like this would you have injectors for water and injectors for sodium? I do wonder about getting compression without potential damage to a theoretical crankshaft or connecting rods but frankly I'm literally a layman so I don't actually know any of this shit>> <<@chicken29843 says : So would it be possible to harness this reaction to create energy somehow or is it not viable to get sodium>> <<@conanruisi says : They have different leakage rates for different solvents because of surface tension, viscosity, and the material in the gasketry. Anything that uses methanol or ethanol uses special gaskets and o rings and rubberized components compared to a normal fuel injector cus ethanol can sometimes melt a normal one>> <<@Five_y_kay says : @warped perception can you do this is a see through engine?>> <<@guerillagardener2237 says : So presumably if your idea was take 2 part methane and 1 part sodium to power Britain for example, you woukd need something like a disused oil rig, a supply of methane and some way of taking the sodium of of sea water to produce energy. Is that your thinking because it sounds like an awesome idea.>> <<@darkjudge8786 says : Still waiting for the scientific paper showing increased CO2 equates to higher temperatures within the earth's atmosphere. Literally zero exist. Go find one. And yet clowns like this guy are happy to ignore science when it doesn't suit the agenda even when they are scientists. Assumptions in badly inaccurate climate models are not facts.>> <<@lomonty7631 says : That aerosol also could be considered beneficial for exhaust gas recirculation, improving efficiency.>> <<@chriswilfrid says : Let's make a startup!>> <<@someguydino6770 says : 1947 DISPOSAL OF 20,000 POUNDS OF SODIUM IN WATER https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNWTpfHovHM>> <<@jediknight1294 says : Also high pressure injectors for direct injection diesel are fucking dangerous, they can puncture Skin with diesel and pop eyeballs so be VERY careful.>> <<@jediknight1294 says : A methonol injector would probably work better because of the higher flow rate but ooh this is going to be cool>> <<@johnnathan7586 says : Really? Right in front of my OSHA HANDBOOK?>> <<@hagopbulbulian6642 says : Isn't that means you need more oxygen ?>> <<@usmh says : Even threw in a StarCraft reference there...! Even tho BW is better ;)>> <<@NSA-admin says : Everyone has heard of NOS for their cars but now... introducing... NaK injection!>> <<@HarveyShankar says : Dude if you're going to be in the lab you messing around with stuff you should really cut your hair. I had long hair and I will never go back. It's very impractical and you seem like a good candidate for a haircut.>> <<@incelkamikaze says : Great stuff, more of this. Please move the BUSTED and musk business to another channel>> <<@sexylexy22100 says : You should get another injector and inject watter with it so it auto ignites where the streams touch I Imagjne that's how this will be used in real life anyway as a spark plug is likely to get super fucked up from the alloy and you need to make sure it burns completely or the sparks will ruin you're cylinders>> <<@kinglouis6974 says : I think the part you are missing Is under pressure fuels are a lot more explosive 😊>> <<@yngve6640 says : When the sodium air mix is right, do you need the igniter then ? It looked like it ignited immediately when out of the injector at the most potent mixture? Fun experiment to watch. Thanks Thunderf00t 👍>> <<@JP-fr5ki says : Your amazing and a inspiration for innovation. (Non crackpot Innovation)>> <<@Chyrre says : Wasn't expecting the "blue flame pre-igniter" Starcraft reference. Great surprise to have a fellow fan ;-)>> <<@pseudonym745 says : I really like your content, but say I'm not sure if you really want to involve yourself in the pseudoscience that surrounds global warming. If you only follow your own figures, (given, for arguments sake, that CO² causes the supposed rate of warming) and the ADDITIONAL warming caused by mankind is so miniscule, this would barely be enough to support the "hockeystick" (from which we all know, it's manipulated (climategate...). I don't even want to start listing all the flaws in this scam. Everybody interested can easily do it. If I want to justify an intervention THAT DRASTIC, I better make sure my underlying data is rock-solid. The opposite is the case for mmgw. People are quick to forget. Maybe it's good to remember the beginning-for example, with Al Gore declaring the debate is over... a statement like that from a politician should raise every red flag available of an educated citizen. When people with a dissenting opinion start getting called "deniers" clearly in the attempt to evoke the association of holocaust-denial (sounds drastic, but honestly, what other "deniers" do come to YOUR mind...?) then, for me, the burden of proof clearly is with the climate scammers. The amount of destruction this has brought to the world economy. The legislation, the power surge for international institutions far, far away from every democratic "disturbance" The missallocation of resources desperately needed. And what for? I can't say our weather has changed a lot. And even if, the "medieval warm period" wasn't a time known for roaming poverty. The "worst year in history" (535 a.D. or sth.) was. For me, the whole debate is an exceptional example for human hybris-man is defining how it has to be. Collecting data for merely 70 years with ever changing methods and parameters. Yes, let's turn everything on its head. Good idea. What did they bring to Australia to kill the rabbits?>> <<@CatboyChemicalSociety says : Wouldnt the byproducts burn out your eyes slowly like the fuel from cyberpunk>>
