In this video I go through the pain of building a big chlorate electrolysis cell and demonstrate many cool experiments with potassium chlorate while greatly appreciating platinum and getting saved by a frozen salmon tray.

At 23:20 I meant to say "Lower the pH"

Also, excuse me for my poor speaking, English is not my native language so I have some trouble with pronunciation, in case you don't understand something there are always subtitles made by me.

Disclaimer: Please DO NOT recreate anything you see me do in this video, even though through it I make a lot of effort to emphasize just how dangerous things I do are, I know that some people won't listen to reason and try to do this anyway, in which case I won't take any responsibility for their actions.
