Tyler, I humbly beg of thee, please record the video you are reacting to at higher framerates. They are so choppy compared to the original video.
Sounds great! Only other thought is that the VASIMR engine can use modern solar panels (no reactor required!) and if you are interested in learning more, Dr. Chang-Díaz wrote a book about the history of it.
What are your thoughts on the high temp superconductor of recent news which carries over 150MA/cm² at 20000 kelvin.
Tyler finally has sponsors!
@@Cryptic141 Sponsors, plural. I think he had a single one for a bunch of his videos. Also, I kind of expected a special 100k subs video.. maybe it's coming when he reaches 150k :)
Interesting Fact:
Nigel did in fact damage the beakers, but not to a visible extent. The plasma warmed the beaker and this lead to a build up of internal stresses in the glass.
After few weeks/months (idk exactly how long it was), two of his beakers spontaneously broke in the exact same way. He was worried that it could happen while he was experimenting with dangerous liquids and because he mixed the plasma beakers with the normal ones, he had to throw away all of them.
He did a video about that explaining everything and showing a few funny ways how to destroy beakers.
I really recommend this as a followup video because explains a few more interesting things and because it is very funny.

Weird way to do a "fun" fact. 🤔
Just watched this, his process of destroying/disposing is amazing
Also bump, as I came here to post this and now I don't have to :D
So technically he didn't necessarily have to throw them all out - he could have gone through the process of annealing all of the beakers. But if you don't have the set up for it - it's not a super easy process to do, and if you don't do it well enough and can't validate: You could lead to the same issue. Sometimes: It's just better to scrap and start over than try to fix things.
"Don't get too salty about the sodium".
Har har sir 🤣
Na!
Styropyro is gonna laugh about that cute little microwave plasma after he releases his new Video. For people who don't know: He build a 20kW microwave and its abnormes.
yoo wsp redplater
@@suitkais7 nothing. Just building on my next project.
I feel if you want raw power for a microwave, rather than multiple small magnetrons, use one giant one, like for a radar unit. The radars on modern warships can apparently make birds burst into flames when they fly through the beam, though take that with a grain of salt.
@@tfrowlett8752 Styropyro snacked a 15kw one from ebay and is of course overdriving it to the limit. Also using multiple magnetrons wouldn't work at all because of phasematching and this stuff.
@@redplater It definitely could be done, but the magnetrons would need to be mounted onto a waveguide separated by a distance that is a multiple of their wavelength.
Magnetron wavelength isn't precise and can vary, thus you would need to start one of them before all of the others, forcing them to sync.
*Fun fact:* After NileRed filmed this video, he had to break all those beakers he used, because all of them might've been damaged from the plasma and could crack in the future. He has a video of him breaking all of his beakers, and its satisfying.
Nice video man, I normally hate reaction channels, but you don’t just react, you add a lot of value to the videos. Keep it up!
He chemically reacted :D
There's a oddly NileRed and microwave relevant video by MrGreenGuy called "I Tested the Limits of a Microwave" which would be an interesting thing to react to, the video does include the quote "I'm not trying to remake the demon core."
And the reason why he is relevant to NileRed is because he started as the parody channel NileGreen, but does more educational focused comedy content now.
Looks like ive found an new use for my old microwave
Initially he was remarking that the plasma shouldn’t emit spectrally as sodium when there’s no sodium present.
17:30 Most of heavy duty industrial microwaves has magnetron that spins and throws radiation in all directions instead of rotating plate. They do this so it's easier to clean and offer a bit more reliability from having less parts. But this make them much more expensive.
About half of commercial microwaves have that too
The really fun part about the sound, is that it's double the frequency of the current, because microwaves pulse at both the top and bottom of the wave, meaning the coil is activating twice per wave, so even though the current is 60 cycles, it's 120 activations of the magnetic field. I always though it was kind of interesting.
"don't get salty about the sodium" clicks like
“If you get forks up to the plasma state, you got a pretty interesting microwave.”
So true.
Love your shirt from what we can see! Hexagons are the bestagons!
In the 70s before I was born, my brother put an egg in a Radar Range microwave trying to hatch it. When it exploded, it blew the door open and sprayed egg everywhere. My mother made him clean up the mess. Speaking of the Radar Range microwave, I remember it as a kid in the 80s, but it wasn't working at that time. We actually didn't get a another microwave until the late 80s. It's hard to believe we got by without one. Not to mention, I bet the electric bill dropped as the stove and oven are just grossly inefficient compared to a microwave especially when just heating food or water.
Yours is one of the few channels i genuinely look forward to seeing new uploads by.
What I find interesting is how similar microwave plasma looks like the descriptions you get of ball lightning.
Once saw a demonstration of microwave safety where the door was removed and it couldn't melt a chocolate bar 2 inches away. The interior volume matches the resonant frequency to generate most of the effect.
It's telling about the safety of nuclear power, that their most common types of OSHA recordable incidents are _exactly the same kind_ that happen at your local Walmart or Home Depot 👍
he technically made a followup video that you should react to, its called something along the lines of "i had to break all my beakers"
This got me wanting to try a couple of things: filling the beaker/container with different gasses, and seeing if it’s possible to “tune” the frequency of the microwave to create musical notes
I wonder if you thought about how the plasma damaged the beakers. NileRed did a follow-up video where he had to break all his beakers 😅
interesting fact, the most common cause of injury where i work is walking too close past an adequately sharp thing and getting a body part caught on it while in full stride. injuries usually occur somewhere on the lower arm, shoulder, or somewhere around the knee area, in some cases a head collision is also possible.
Do y'all need pool noodles on the sharp thing or...?
he has a follow up video on this which is kinda interesting
Tokamak is only 20 years away from having a net gain in output. 😂
He broke a quartz cuvette ?! My professor at the lab would definitely kill me hahaha
Really not surprised that it didn't occur to him to think of the glassware as a possible source at first. Chemists are used to thinking of their glassware as being an inert non participant in whatever reactions they are performing which is generally true with the reactions they are usually doing. Just here we are getting into higher energy levels which break this assumption, subject anything to enough energy and it tends to stop being quite so inert.
can't believe nigel had to get a spectrometer to find the potassium, you'd think someone who does chemistry would have some cobalt glass laying around.
In old microwaves that didn't have a turntable, you would need to rotate the food item frequently, an instruction you'll still find on frozen food heating instructions. Otherwise, the food would have hot spots and cold spots.
So we can shove 40 magnetrons together and we should get a cloud of plasma with tens of thousands Kelvin.
"Made plasma doing other things... Probably... Heh heh heh" I sense a theme here...
a good way to find out the hot spots and dead zones is a broad bar of chocolate
i love how his video looks like stop motion
I'm 100% positive that if Neil ever wanted to he could make meth more pure than Heisenberg
Soda-lime glass beaker? I wouldn't think there'd be enough in borosilicate.
20:25
Gamma Scientific has one like that they call a "Spectroradiometer".
now someone do it with uranium glass and report back
I AM SO HAPPY I FOUND THIS CHANNEL :D
Why would you not use quartz glass was the first thing I thought of when starting the experiment. Temperature being the problem for prolonged experiment
17:45 or a chamber that is an elipsoid with the emitter and the oject that needs to heated at the two foci.
It would be cool if you reacted to Mr Green's video about microwaves, he literally put his face in front of the microwave with no protection on just to prove a point.
What if you had some sort of electrodynamic confinement of plasma in a microwave? That is a strong electrical field and current running through the plasma and a strong static field all at once.
The MW field changes when he inserts anything conductive in there, plasma or metal....
If you really want to do this, have a couple spare magnetrons on hand, as they’ll burn out pretty fast if you do this too much.
Babe wake up new T. Folse just dropped 🗣🗣
Microwaves are used to generate ion's for use in a particle accelerator.
He could make plasma from a glass made of radioactive uranium salts, and have a few types of luminescence?
He needs to try this with uranium glass
I just saw something in my google newsfeed about japan making a fusion reactor. Maybe a vid about that? Since fusion has "been around the corner" since forever.
So, fun fact, this video was released in August 2019. He said he didn't use the same beaker over and over because he didn't want to damage it by overheating it. December 219 on NileBlue, he found out he did damage his beakers: th-cam.com/video/tGqVMbAQhBs/w-d-xo.html
It's the glass!
You should react to “digamma poisoning” from “HBM’s nuclear tech mod reloaded” Minecraft mod
I know that a light build with the metal submerged in water will cause the lightbulb to light up after about 12 seconds
Where's the power source?
@@dolphin64575 microwave radiation
27:05 And I think thats a reason. Beaker made from galss. So sodium can be from it 28:34 I was right ))
I wonder if the sodium is left over from cooking food in the microwave.
Use quartz instead of Pyrex? Quartz works fine in the high temperatures of diffusion furnaces.
We LOVE NILE RED.
Can you watch a video: Kyle Hill - 3D printing tungsten radiation Shields
Thanks
I don't think you've done a video on it yet but there's a really sketchy video on TH-cam where a guy tests the limits of what you can do with a microwave and basically sticks his head in one. Might be interesting to get your opinion. 😅
You should react to kyle hill, worlds only glass nuclear reactor
So, for the less chemistry-aware like myself, how does the spraying with potassium chloride make it preferential for K+ ions to vaporize over Na+ ions? Is it the +1 electron shell? And if so, how does that work?
Just microwave some grapes fairly close together...
If you’re still here when you have 15 years experience in the nuclear industry, I’ll still be here
I am waiting for the reaction to nuclear glass reactor🎉🎉
I was going to say his spectrum meter was faulty why it was reading wrong...
I just have one question ...
Would Anti-Potassium emit an electron?
12:53 is he aware there is a transformator with very high voltage? I cannot call this safe. Besides the radiation risk. That high voltage is needed to make the radiation. Don't do this at random.
Its just a 2100 V 0,5 A Transformer. Micrwaves cant harm the Human body unless you stand directly in front of the magnetron without protection. Its not that unsafe
Nile red video,nice
Don't get too salty about sodium 🤣
Is it a good idea to microwave this?
Holey moley two minutes ago 🤯
Edit: hello Mr Follse
This work with weed
BUY A NEW MICROPHONE BROTHER. MY 0 INCOME ASS GOT 2 BETTER MICROPHONES JUST TO TALK SHIT ON DISCORD. THE SOUND QUALITY IS HORRENDOUS. WHY.
8:03
Ozone ist toxic in high concentrations.
Googling only takes a second, my dude. Like sand in the eye, it irritates and abrades the tissues. Enough exposure causes permanent scarring and loss of function.
@@giin97could a tesla coil create enough to be a worry. I mean I can stell it...
