      ​ @LegacyCatalyst > _That’s actually genius, why hasn’t this been a bit in a time travel movie yet_ ?
      Not sure if you wanted a serious answer, but I'll be "that guy" for a minute. Three primary reasons that I can see.
      (1) *By the ice ages, oxygen levels had already dropped*
      Only one of my three is based in actual science, and I'm only 90% sure that I'm right.
      The Cambrian era (500mya) saw higher oxygen levels--but average temperatures were also higher. So there's nowhere interesting in Earth's past that requires hand warmers _and_ also has "too much" oxygen.
      Climate change deniers love to lean on Cambrian atmospheric conditions as an example of "it's fine, because we've done this before." Of course, they never mention Cambrian temperatures--or that mammals wouldn't exist for 300 million years.
      Oxygen isn't as significant a greenhouse gas as CO2, but it's still associated with elevated temps. I honestly don't know if there were ever cold environments coinciding with higher oxygen levels, but just about everything we've seen (in both documentaries and time travel fiction) is *Big Lizard, Tropical Rainforest*
      It's true we've got some ice age lore in (non)fiction, but I suspect the gag would require a bit of "poetic license."
      (2) *It's a niche nerd joke*
      I actually chuckled when I read @jacksim's comment--and I expect the bulk of Chem Teacher Phil's audience will appreciate it. But the average viewer won't. The setup will take too long for the value of the payoff. Because...
      (3) *screen time is expensive*
      My brother is a filmmaker. He's always meticulously shaving five seconds here, two seconds there. Not so much expensive to produce--although production cost is certainly a factor. I'm talking about final project runtime, e.g. having a short film over 20 minutes is a cardinal sin. And the attention span of today's audiences is largely driving runtimes down even further.
      Having done music for a couple of them, I've fallen in love with lines (or entire scenes) in drafts that sadly are excised from the final project. I'd be extremely impressed if someone can write a setup that adequately articulates the relationship between the rust, heat, and ambient oxygen content--and then films a joke (likely a quick visual gag?) that justifies the time burnt † on the explanation. This short is 31 seconds--and that's probably too long for a series that's not intentionally educational.
      My vote is if ArcOsprey can overcome #3 that this idea gets included, because it's a great idea--but I'm not optimistic.
      Sorry to be the downer if it doesn't work.
      † no pun intended

    I'm homeless, and I use heatpacks that are meant for reptile transport. I put one or two in my sleeping bag when it gets cold. So comfy to have warm feet 🤗

    Fun fact; until recently, most firearms were finished with 'bluing', which is intentionally allowing an even, thin layer of black oxide to form on the metal.

    Fun fact, you can turn off the acetylene while oxyacetylene torch cutting, and use just pure oxygen to continue cutting/melting the steel. That's how strong this effect can be.

    I've never seen a handwarmer like that. Only the white gel ones that crystalise.

    I think they need to be kept where there's humidity otherwise they dry out and stop working(when activated). Like in a pocket close to your body so your sweat keeps the humidity up.

    Sometimes I rub my hands on the fenders of my ram, and the rust helps warms me up during winter.

    i didnt know rusting wqs an exothermic reaction, but it makes sense its oxidation, thats the same reaction that takes place when we burn things.
    why are some reactions exothermic and some endothermic? i remember watching a small lecture from the royal academy about this, it had something to do with entropy and energy.
    the two rules beling the universe tends towards minimizing energy and increasing entropy,
    increasing entropy makes intuitive sense in the case of gasses diffusing and temperature equalizing, it simply state that stuff thens to spread, and because there are many more way for something to be disorganised than for that something to be organised, it tends towards being more disorganised. This is also where you get the phrase "life on earth is a thermodynamic miracle"
    but i never quite understood minimizing energy, and couldint explain why that is, other than, its just the way it is. any system tends to prefer a lower energy state, maybe its too fundamental to explain in any other way, other than its just the way it is.
    i think these two properties of our universe, entropy increasing over time and state energy minimizing, are what dictate wether something releases heat or absorbs heat into/from its environment.
    things that lower the energy are bound to release that lost energy in the form of heat.
    i dont remember what causes cooling...
    i wonde rif i can reason about it,
    well it must take energy from its environment instead of giving it, that was the explanation!
    the professor asked the question: why does it do that, even though it requires energy to do so? why do endotermic reaction able to occur? and the answer was entropy, it was because even though the energy in the system was increasing (stealing heat from the environment) entropy was still increasing
    i belive the example given was an ice cube melting,
    ts an endotermic thing (i dont think its a reaction... maybe it is a reaction, because the hidrogen bonds between the water molecules are weaking, even though it doesnt have a chamical equation)
    and it also increases entropy, that was the secret sauce, to cooling off the environment, does the thing result in increased entropy.
    man, this comment is not for the weak of heart, what a long thing ive wrote. Id like to get back into science. I was great at physics back in uni, and even though i wasnt good at chemistry or biology i still loved the topics.

    In-fact, you can purge iron with pure oxygen can even get so hot that it can reach melting point..
    this principle is even used in industries, to melt scrap iron

    So according to another video of yours in theory could we turn the used rust back in to iron?
