My son worked on F16s, which used hydrazine. His best friend got hydrazine accidentally dumped on him, and even though they followed all the guidelines for exposure, it still gave him chemically induced leukemia. It took him around 1 1/2 years to die a very painful death. I was told that in training, they were told that just one breath of hydrazine fumes would take 10 years off of their life.
I was an F16 crew and every time you went to check to see if the pellet changed colors was an uncomfortable feeling. Sorry for your son's friend, that stuff is incredibly disgusting.
Yup, it's that little port on the starboard side of the fuselage, ahead of the intake. If any part of it has rotated to show black, send in a hazmat team.
Hydrazine was used in the drag racing world. You knew when someone was running it when the exhaust was green. Cars made insane power on it and it resulted in some serious explosions in the cars. It has been outlawed in racing for a while now but when a record needed to be broken, you would see the green monster coming out of the exhaust pipes.
Some years ago I went to visit my mom and dad at their house. My younger brother had moved back home with them after difficult time in his life. He had set up some kind of apparatus in the outdoor kitchen and told my mom he was making rocket fuel. Come to find out he bought a still online and was making moonshine.
When I was working hazmat we put about 1 pint of hydrazine in about 1 gallon of water in a 5 gal bucket. Then we poured in about 1 pint of 30% H2O2. After a couple seconds it generated a column of steam the diameter of the bucket and about 20' high. It drove the bucket over 1" into the ground.
I used to work for a guy who'd mop up his restaurant with bleach and packets of window cleaner concentrate. I told him to stop, but if I recall he didn't listen to me. I can only assume the concentrate wasn't ammonia based.
Low yield might be related to low concentration in your feedstocks, but also heating your solution so early makes me wary that you may have gassed your ammonia faster than it could react. To prioritize yield with such low quality feed I would do the first steps of the process in ice baths, even though that will reduce the reaction rate.
I was thinking about having heard of bleach not keeping well because it apparently is very spontaneous about leaking out chlorine gas over time. Question might be if ammonia also has some long time evaporations issues, especially in plastic containers.
@@isaacthedestroyerofstuped7676 It is a simple looking chemical yes. It is made of nasty things though lol. But nitrogen is hardly innocent in the chemical world either. I mean it is the basis of most explosives.
here's a quick rhyme to help remember about mixing acid and water do what you oughtter, add acid to water not water to acid, OMGGG OMGGGG IT BURRRNNNNSS IT BURRRRRNSSS WHY GOD WHY-cid
Ah, yes, acid to water... I forget it everytime, but luckily the steam quickly reminds me. (I am scared of H2SO4, since a former lab assistent managed to spill boiling H2SO4 over his hand. Luckily the ER was just 10 min away by foot and he recovered fast.)
@@EddieTheH Acid-to-Water is a Myth. Boiling H2SO4 then adding 3% H2O2 is how i clean up the brown 96% hardware store acid with no issues. Mineral acid spills are never good, but with reasonably fast access to water, no biggie. Clearly, avoiding such events and planning beforehand is better.
I'm sure I made the stuff after chucking a load of bleach int he bin outside when a bag of cat litter had split open, spilled out, leached out the ammonia from the cat pee and when the two mixed out came a cloud of white gas that looked like I just freed a deadly ghost from some form of prison as it wafted off up the street... :P

8:13 Why bother to wait overnight for the layers to separate, only to disturb the liquids by pouring shortly before using the separatory funnel? You could have poured them into the separatory funnel before overnight storage (assuming they are not corrosive to the separatory funnel's valve).

I remember working with hydrazine as a reducer quite a lot when I used to work in a nanoparticles lab, it was quite fun, and I wasn't really scared, since it wasn't anhydrous
A lot of these chemicals aren't all that scary, if you are working in a properly equipped lab. I am a lot more queasy about watching somebody make something like hydrazine in their proverbial basement, though
nice work! only one thing, your yield of hydrazine sulphate would be improved by boiling down the solution until it becomes saturated at boiling point, and solids start appearing I recently tried this using catalytic amounts of N-chlorosuccinimide, as per a 1957 paper, but the yield was pretty terrible, and dichloroisocyanurate didn't work at all, being too acidic incidentally, gelatine has quite an unusual role in this reaction, as it acts as a catalyst for hydrazine formation, speeding up the reaction relative to the competing side-reactions; by contrast, in the Hofmann rearrangement it doesn't really seem to do anything, and has apparently been carried over from ammonia/hypochlorite method without accounting for the differences in the chemistry
Ah yes, exactly my thoughts when i search up what i can do with my home chemicals and you see a chemical that sounds like something otherworldish😂. You should make a rocket 🚀 (joking). Good video as usually!
I did that once by accident. Mixed the wrong cleaner in the sprayer. I dumped that down the drain as soon as I felt the plastic bottle start to melt in my hands within a second or so. That's the one and only time I did that.
I always boil down to 25% solution volume before cold crashing. This will significantly increase your yield, as plenty of hydrazine sulfate is still in the mother liquor. Cold reduces solubility, it does not bring it to 0.
Don’t do it. Interesting, but let pros be professional. They have accidents being professional. The rest of us don’t need accidents (just ask me and I’ll yell you a story). MEK is easily available, BUT! Most of us in aviation don’t like it. MEK is short for “Molecules Everywhere Kills.” MEK becomes a gas at room temp and is literally everywhere when it is used. It is a great solvent, but there are way too many ??? about how it hurts the environment and people who use it. Fred was just too cool!
It is amazing how the most toxic chemicals are actually very simple in formula. What is also amazing, is how I am still alive after experimenting with chemistry at school age in a poorly ventilated basement. :)
I love the way chemistry youtube channels these days, have to have someone presenting who has with a beautiful strange accent. I mean you have yer man here on this channel, Felix from Chemical Force, Tom from Explosions and Fire, thingy from Chemiolis, etc, etc.
I worked in a satellite fueling company but that building we had to trade IDs for chits 1/2 mile away in case of explosions. Hydrazine safety videos had to be viewed every six months to be admitted
The reaction works best if stronger bleach is used, the best way to get that is to use pool shock and cause sodium and calcium to swap places by adding sodium carbonate solution to it. Cool both the bleach and ammmonia solution. Skip the MEK and use a little geletain instead. After that i just distill it and titrate the distillate with H2SO4. The hydrazine distills off with the water so not much wories ❤
If you have hydrazine, you might venture to make luminol (by nitration of phtalic anhydride / acid, reduction and double cyclic "amidation"). That is: I know a guy who did it in a basement (he did not used self-made hydrazine, though).
Let's talk about the elephant in the room... NCl3. Tom (Explosions and Fire) made this on his channel to explore the energetic properties. Not saying you should repeat that, but if there are any cool uses for it (besides blowing yourself up), I would be curious to understand more about it seeing how it's easy to create. Can you produce it in low/no UV light conditions? Are there wavelengths of light that won't excite it? Would an inert atmosphere help?
Soooo, I did this many, many, many years ago when cleaning the men’s room at a restaurant. It started outgassing and I found my nose and throat being incredibly irritated. I quickly grabbed the bucket, ran outside and threw it in the dumpster out back. A few hours later I was taking out the garbage and 12-15 crows and seagulls were dead in the dumpster. I sincerely suggest no one do this experiment.

Please hypothetically consider the blocked air shafts as what we now call "burst discs" and the chambers as reaction vessels. That thing was built for a Purpose.
If I remember correctly, some inhibitor is added to bleach, to reduce the possibility of producing much hydrazine by accidentally mixing it with ammonia. Perhaps that's why your yield was poor.
