Nile talks about lab safety: youtu.be/ftACSEJ6DZARice Krispie vs The Bottom of The OceanNileBlue2024-08-09 | Today, we're going to see what happens if this Rice Krispy sank to the bottom of the ocean.
To do this, we'll be using this machine called an isostatic press, that can hydraulically press things equally from all angles.
#shortsExposing my wiener to a magnetic fieldNileBlue2024-07-23 | I recently got this giant machine for making magnets, where it can induce a super strong magnetic field (over 1 tesla), and I want to expose my wiener to it.
#shortsTasting the worlds most sour sodaNileBlue2024-07-18 | Stang is supposed to be the most sour soda in the world, and I want to taste it to see if that's really true.

Thank you @rodemic for letting us sacrifice their Wireless Pro microphone to mercury for science.
#shortsMean radiationNileBlue2024-04-11 | What was tested first is trinitite, which is a radioactive rock that I featured in my last short.
Even though it was from the nuclear explosion, it's still nothing compared to a chunk of uranium.
#shortsThis rock is from the first nuclear explosionNileBlue2024-04-03 | This radioactive trinitite rock is definitely above average.

Years ago someone made an apple that tastes like a grape, and I've always wanted to try it. However, they apparently don't exist anymore. So now, I think the only way I can taste one, is to make it myself.

Sorry the t-shirts in this video are no longer available :(
In this video, we attempt to make the world's purest cookie and to see how it compares to a regular cookie. In my opinion, it has to be better, because it's pure.

However, there are still plenty of things that I couldn't include and this will not at all prepare anyone to jump into practical chemistry.

In early February, I got a new high-speed camera and I really wanted to try it out. We figured that liquid rockets would be a good place to start.

It is a lot more casual and it involves my brother and our friend (the camera guy). In this one, we burned calcium gluconate pills to make a weird snake thing, and it was something that I wanted to do for a while.

In this video, I do a quick cleanup of the waste from when I made uranium glass. I basically just ended up keeping all of it and in the future, I will pay for it to all be disposed of safely/properly.

For a while now, I've wanted to make aerogel, but for that, I needed to use supercritical CO2. I didn't really know what that was though, and I figured the best way to learn about it was to make it myself.

I unknowingly damaged a bunch of my beakers and then mixed them back with my good ones. I then had no idea which ones were good or bad anymore, so I ended up having to sacrifice them all.

Nile talks about lab safety: youtu.be/ftACSEJ6DZAMy manganese heptoxide cleanup was a messNileBlue2019-06-14 | This chemical really doesn't want to exist (manganese heptoxide): youtu.be/2BZGjycR7YM
After the manganese heptoxide video on NileRed, I had a lot of manganese and acid waste that I had to deal with. I initially planned to be done after isolating the waste, but as the last minute, I decided to try melting it. I don't consider that to be part of the waste processing though, and it's more of an experiment on its own. In general, I don't recommend heating waste because it can sometimes be dangerous and it can also generate toxic fumes.

This is a follow-up to the video on my main channel NileRed, where I extracted the gold from old jewelry.
In this video, I cover some of the waste management that I did behind the scenes. I felt like it was important to show, but it the main video was already really long.
