Fascinating. It's amazing and somewhat scary what you can get online. It's too bad you couldn't feed the Sodium/Potassium alloy through a high pressure direct fuel injector. That should atomize it even better than the Venturi/"carburetor" air brush.
@Dyno440 Says:
Try a transducer from an ultrasonic humidifier. There is a focal distance. But that should be a benefit.
@corinnecivish7673 Says:
This is a super intriguing concept, but a few concerns. Other than reflecting sunlight, which is great, what other effects would there be along the lings of tons of sodium vapor into the air. Many birds can fly up of 9KM or 30,000 feet. What would be the effect if they fly into a cloud of sodium vapor? How long does it stay in the atmosphere, and what happens when it falls to Earth? At what concentrations does it become toxic to plant and animal life, in the land, water, or air?
@guerillagardener2237 Says:
Couldnt you get sodium Potassium alloy from leaching lye from wood ash. Soduim nitrate and potassium nitrate.

@ZdrytchX Says:
dont forget that energy that you dont deliver to earth is also what doesn't reach the surface, required for you know, photosynthesis and all
@CainXVII Says:
As someone who works with airbrushes there is a lot of configuration you can do. They come with different needle sizes and by adjusting pressure and feed amount you can adjust the size of particles a whole lot. At least for paint...
@CainXVII Says:
Wow. I have never used my airbrush as a flamethrower before
@katiegreene3960 Says:
Can't they just make a pelletised sodium incased in a oil that dissolved quickly in the air? Shot out the back of a plane when it hits moisture in the air wouldn't it vaporize ?
@kentcontreras4692 Says:
CooI concept
I'm not sure I see the long-term benefit here?
Using suspended aerosols to increase the effects of global dimming would only work temporarily and as soon as it was halted temperatures would rise dramatically in a short period of time. It wouldn't actually change atmospheric composition.
Potential downsides - rapid atmospheric changes could lead to dangerous weather phenomena, soil composition changes could alter plant life, aerosol particulates even inert can damage the lungs.
Geoengineering happens naturally though just ask Krakatoa.

@EasyThere Says:
The problem with the C02 hypothesis is there is no greenhouse for the gasses. Don't give me that atmospheric refractions angle nonsense. Soon AI will be used to investigate as climate is an interaction of many complicated systems...none of which science understands fully. CO2 has been much higher in the past.

2:54 you lost subscription and those are just arbitrary numbers that don’t actually represent anything! They are just made up!
@itsmenoname2247 Says:
they have been doing this for years .
it's called chem trails. airplanes spraying lines in the sky and those lines turn into fake clouds.
@Tailss1 Says:
Try that sodium experiment in a microwave oven. Protip: do this outside.
@roylarsen7417 Says:
jet plans use water !! look in to it , the engines get a lot of water and fule .. :D add your component to the water , (it already in use ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4WauAEUGnU&ab_channel=AircraftTechnicians

Hehehehe, looks at own airbrush and soldering kit with gleeful intent 🤣
@darkjudge8786 Says:
Very embarassing that a hard science PhD like TF still believes that CO2 is warming gas at unprecedented levels despite zero evidence to prove that and billions of years of historical data showing its not true. This is the problem. Hes a genius about Musk and all the other frauds but he's worse than a ten year old on atmospheric science.

All the adverts for this are scams
@sweetcara14 Says:
How do you explain the actual hottest year on earth being 1934, or the heat wave of 1921, or the fact that NOAA has provably altered the historical data? And by what metric is such a tiny amount of increased CO2, or for that matter warming, a terrible thing? We have more food production than at any point in human history. An ice age would be more likely to kill a whole lot of humanity. And we have no control over solar emissions, which are far more responsible for climate change.

grow hemp in the north & pirolisis ALL organic waste not suitable for compost(all that corn rotting from bio-fuel) , then sell the bio-char as both carbon credits & fertilizer/ soil conditioner , as well as profit from other fractions condensed from pirolisis
@isaiahcameron7897 Says:
I really enjoyed playing “spot the mistake”. I guessed wrong, but I’ve never paid closer attention to one of your videos.
@CUBETechie Says:
Actually there is a concept where you use iron dust and burn it similar to a coal powerplant
@IBeforeAExceptAfterK Says:
Setting aside the technical difficulties you ran into in your personal attempts at a sodium flamethrower, I have to question how useful it would truly be in combating global warming. Everything about it has the distinct smell of one of those "too good to be true" solutions that you tend to debunk on this very channel. The obvious question that needs to be asked here is "if it's this easy, why haven't we done it already?" A common criticism I've seen of particulate solutions like this is the negative effects that reduced sunlight will have on agricultural yields and solar energy generation. I'm curious about what response you have to these concerns.
@BLUYES422 Says:
i figure u need a lower frequency to aresolize the NaK
@herbers8791 Says:
hi this looks incredible,
but what about the health problems of inhaling the fumes if they are put in large quantities in the atmosphere
@Rickbearcat Says:
People are already scared of the contrails that planes leave in the sky. Now you are suggesting that we actually take those misguided fears and turn them into reality? How well do you think this is going to go over with the general public?
You better have some damn good science behind this idea of putting actual stuff into the atmosphere using commercial jet aircraft.

No "kill with fire" meme? "Kill global warming with fire?"

@samsammich8465 Says:
Obviously not advocating this but an all out nuclear war will also throw enough particulate matter into the atmosphere to cool the Earth.
@giga-chicken Says:
Maybe if the discs could be enameled or laminated before the holes are punched it could reduce the issues you encountered.
@KuulSHep Says:
The Earth has heated up, frozen over, and repeated multiple times in it's entire cycle and will continue this long after we're gone or are no longer the dominate species. Life has always found ways to march on despite whatever harsh weather conditions and I wish slimeballs stop using it to sell hack products.
@Swaaaat1 Says:
Holy fucking shit. I was thinking using an ultrasound nebulizer for this. Amazing to see that somebody told you.
@bardrick4220 Says:
Ya bad ideas . . . There's plenty of non-toxic, non-flammable, reflective, powders that could be blown out the back of a plane to accomplish this!
NaCl comes to mind. It will just return to the environment as natural salt water. Or chalk dust, ect
@Ringer5 Says:
Oh, dear. I might be too dumb to understand what Thunderfoot is trying to accomplish. Is he trying to produce more "cloud" vapors to reflect some sunlight, produce a cleaner fuel source, or both?
@parkertheprophet Says:
What do you think about atmospheric electricity?
@Robert-qb5rq Says:
New space engine. . . Dont really have to worry to much about water and oxidation in a vacuum
@SunShine-xc6dh Says:
What scientific instruments existed pre industrial revolution to take these global climate records from which we make comparisons to?
@headybrew Says:
How are elemental Na and K manufactured? And what is the global-warming footprint of that process? What are the economics?
@ash0787 Says:
Do you think electric cars will actually 'save the planet' Thunderfoot ? I just see it as a continuation of lazy selfish thoughtless irresponsible consumerism under the guise of virtue, those cars still require polluting factories to make, they use finite natural resources and the waste ends up contaminating the environment. I think the biggest issue nature faces is widespread general pollution ( microplastics being one such topic ) and loss of habitat, eventually all ecosystems will collapse and it will only be artitificially farmed and kept alive species that survive, like soya bean to make soy drink for liberals. Humans might survive via technology but everything we think of as the natural world will be destroyed, even if you could normalize the Co2.
@quecksilber457 Says:
Could this by itself be the fuel for an engine? A Sodium–potassium alloy engine? lol
But it think there are too much residues, right?
@lukearts2954 Says:
TIme to get Highlander 2 off the shelf again to show the world after such a "solution", only in this proposal it can't be shut down anymore... This would only work if humans were the only living organism on the planet. So you can do it pre-emptively on Mars, but keep earth as food farm.
