15:04 A "plasma torch" is actually a thing in industrial settings. Used for cutting through basically anything, but they obviously don't use anything like this. Those plasma torches use ridiculously high flow rate water cooling and silicon carbide nozzles to massively decrease the number of extremely expensive nozzles they would go through.
18:20 My best guess as to why those colors are being produced is that the circuit has so much power going through it that rather than simply stripping off a couple of upper electrons and not really changing the flame color of the magnesium, it strips off the lower electrons as well, putting the magnesium in normally impossible ionization states.
Hello, I have a very innovative idea that I would like to share with someone qualified for this. In the future, nuclear reactors could be made with fuel rods made of oganeson, the last element in the periodic table, and perhaps in the future we will have enough technology to create and stabilize it. and imagine the possibilities with just one gram of oganeson.
Loving the videos! Minor suggestion though: Could you turn on closed captions (CC) of the videos you're reviewing? This could just be a personal preference but I know there are many people out there who prefer CC on. Furthermore it would make your videos much more friendly to people who may have legitimate audio, etc impairments.

OK we have an election, when you said "this happens" re graphite. I bl8nked and ip comes a video of our own e and only oil refinery and i am does those explode. Then a dodgy kiwi political figure starts talking. I suppose you had to be there.😅
they've both been visited by the FBI, styro even has a video with some images of their visit XD, styro specifically has stated he has actually been asked to work for the military or similar because of his skills with laser engineering

Us Government: -concerning that our army isn't full of those babies. Here's unlimited funding, produce as many of them as you can. We want every soldier in the field to have at least two of those bad boys!
So wait, you're telling me you DON'T check to see if your nuclear power plant is operating by licking the reactor core? Man, I guess batteries and nuclear plants are even more different than I thought! :D
i can just imagine: "heres my soviet technology nuclear reactor but without any of the annoying safety features." followed by "i wonder why it's not producing any power. let me just raise the control rods" "oh look its still not working but the results from this thermal imaging camera are crazy"
Nah, by then Nuclear Fusion would be farther away than today. Why? Because he would be sent back in time by an invention he makes a few weeks from now. How do I know this? What a long way down just to say that… … it’s just a joke. Wait you really scrolled down here? Ok, have a gold star for your efforts! ⭐️
you gotta love Styro, the guy comes off as a mad scientist, but if he didn't have it under control I don't think he would be alive. much like Electroboom.
@@clytle374 But I hadn't thought about something as mundane as an AED when I wrote the reviving, much more in line with the myth that is Frankenstein. as far as I know those will check the activity and if required shock

Those giant vacuum tubes were typically used for generating high frequency massive outputs for radar arrays. I believe they were rendered obsolete with the invention of the cavity magnetron. I bet he's generating a ton of RF interference and ultraviolet light 😬

I already love styropyro videos. There's just something even cooler about seeing this guy react to them. It's nice to have some Concepts that styropyro throw up clarified for people like me that don't understand a lot of the stuff he's talking about. I appreciate it. But I also have to stress that, look a guitarist, not a nuclear engineer or chemist so, I obviously appreciate this. Thank you mr. Folse.
Just wanted to say I discovered your channel recently and have enjoyed your commentary and choices of videos to provide commentary on greatly. It's honestly made me interested in how the process of entering the nuclear industry works, I would love to see a video detailing a basic start to finish on how you became interested in and then became a part of nuclear engineering work.
"... or even worse, the local hams" so true!! My Dad was a ham. Yeah, he would not have been happy. But that Faraday cage was absolutely awesome - he should have spent a minute longer on that. Sounds expensive - a lot of copper
My father would've loved this guy. He was a HAM radio nut who built us a 12v battery powered B&W TV set back in the late 1960's. I learnt a lot about how close NOT to get to high capacity capacitors helping him with various projects.
I have another suggestion that's right up your alley. "why chernobyl exploded - the real physics behind the reactor" by scott manley He made it really easy to understand, and I'd like to hear your perdpective.
Skin effect is basically because as frequency increases the magnetic field in the conductor forms Eddy currents that exist in opposing rotational direction to the induced magnetic field. You can essentially view it as a lag alternating out of phase. The better the conductor the more perfectly negating the phase is, and the higher the frequency the greater the amplitude of this field. This field is formed at the center of the conductor. As the frequency increases the opposing field (back EMF) increases, which cancels out charges. So for example at 60hz in pure copper the charge is nullified at about 8 mm of conducting depth. Now the worse the conductor the lower the skin effect copper should have a significantly higher skin effect than steel. Also resistance will always impact the effective capacity of charge more than back EMF, so using worse conductors to avoid skin effect is a loosing battle.
Every video you make me smile! I mean there are often very obscure game / movie references I never expected a nuclear engineer to be familiar with. Such as the C&C Red Alert's love for Tesla coils. I suspect you do research beforehand, but it is appreciated.
The periodic table on the wall is from a book called: Elements: A Visual Exploration of Every Known Atom in the Universe by Theodore Gray, photographs by Nick Mann
Loving the videos! Minor suggestion though: Could you turn on closed captions (CC) of the videos you're reviewing? This could just be a personal preference but I know there are many people out there who prefer CC on.

@12:31 or so... You're correct. You will find the skin effect to reduce the effective "Depth" of the effective conductive cross section of the conductor overall as the frequency increases, as opposed to DC. As such, as frequency increases, so does resistance of the conductor, overall. This is why most high-current wiring in a home (Stoves, dryers, HVAC, etc.) are using multi-strand wires rather than solid core; this increases the surface area of the wire while keeping the overall wire size lower than would be needed for a equivalent current-capable solid copper conductor. And that's only 50 or 60 Hz. And before anyone starts to bust me up, asking, "Then why don't we use solid wiring in cars? They's DC..." We don't use solid core in cars or planes because vibrations cause cracks, and cracks travel in metal over time once started. Now you have a single point of failure for a wire. Also, the larger circumference of a solid core wire contributes to stresses to form those initial cracks. Stranded is more expensive to make, but ultimately requires less material and works great for stationary (as well asvibration-prone), AC based applications, especially when distance is involved. That's why you might find a 4 AWG wire to a tower's transmitter antenna with over 1000 copper strands.
This was an impressive display! I wish my science teachers in school did something like this (but unlikely due to safety concerns). On another note, why does this channel not have more subscribers? I always look forward to new content on here.

Cesium is also used for highly accurate independent time bases. We used them a lot in metrology before GPS became ubiquitous and more reliable. But yes, also as a source for calibrating dosimeters and such.
I just saw you in my recommendations and thought I'll give a try, and I'm already in love with your channel. Not only you are smart, but also a man of culture, Red alert enjoyer :). And also styro is insane guy, you should watch more of his vids.
14:22 I don't know why he didn't START with Graphite! Where I grew up the projectors in the cinema booth were old graphite projectors, that used the arc between two graphite rods as the light source, but you had to adjust the rods so the distance remained constant or the light would slowly get dimmer before the arc failed, or if you put them too close the heat would melt the film.
Yeah, I've been watching Styropyro for some time now, and his stuff is both fascinating and terrifying. The single most amazing thing though, is that he hasn't fried himself into a small, smoldering chunk of carbon. "Don't try this at home?" Hell, I'm almost scared to watch him try it for fear my computer will explode. Resonance, don'cha know. EDIT: I suspect our first viable hand-held directed energy weapon will be made by this guy.
I tried a plasma lighter, but it made my weed taste nasty. I was confused at first, because there shouldn't have been any chemistry involved. No butane combustion or anything that should affect the flavor. But then I realized it was making a lot of ozone, and that's what I was tasting. Ick! The glass on that cabinet in Styropyro's lab is going to get mirrored from all the metal vapor he's creating.
Oh wow I remember wanting one of these years ago for the same reason I guess it’s good I didn’t get one If you need something that doesn’t blow out in the wind just get a little mini adjustable torch lighter
Man, good thing we learned from his car battery video he lives in the middle of nowhere. And I suspect his neighbors can still hear when he's experimenting rather well. Because tesla coils and plasma generators like this are really insanely loud.
My father would've loved this guy. He was a HAM radio nut who built us a 12v battery powered B&W TV set back in the late 1960's. I learnt a lot about how close NOT to get to high capacity capacitors helping him with various projects.
As a student at Ga. Tech physics, I used to love old Russian math books. One I remember very clearly was on linear algebra, by Georgi Shilov. Those (translated) Russian books were very practically minded and had a great didactic flavor. Just the facts, ma'am. The mode of presentation was very different from the British, French, or German ethos.
You should take a look at Asianometry's videos that deal with nuclear bombs. He made a video about how China got the bomb (their nuclear program) and about the USSR's plan to use nuclear bombs peacefully. It's a good channel and I recommend it.
Vacuum tubes are used for the best audio amps too, the best I've heard anyway. In my experience, a tiny junky tube amp sounds far better than any solid-state amp.
Actually it acts as a ballast so the higher the frequency the higher the reistance to both current and voltage Skin effect is related to pitential (voltage) and the higher the voltage the greater the effect of xonducting only through the skin and this diminishes return for increasing conduction area. All conductive materials do this which is why there is a limit on conducter size versus controlled current and potential
the cage keeps planes in the sky (wave cancelation and/or signal jamming - intentional or otherwise) - this stuff can go full serious in the time it takes for the fcc to call the faa - - - was just thinking and it occured to me (thought experiment here) if you removed all reactor shielding globally then what would be the death toll over 5 years - then try removing faraday cages - (not going deep into pcbs and components but faraday cages or cans as ee's call'em are used all over electronics) - random electronic devices would start behaving erratically and even be damaged by the received emissions
Imma come back to this to fully clear it up English name: Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) Russian name written in Cyrillic: Союз Советских Социалистических Республик (CCCP) Russian name written in Latin: Soyuz Sovetskih Socialisticheskih Respublik (SSSR)
You want to freak out on crazy looking vacuum tubes. Look at the ones used in broadcast transmitter finals. Ya know, that output is about 8KV @ 3A or so.
You should watch the video by Mattias Krantz where he makes an "electric piano" but it's made using arcs of plasma that make different pitches. Instead of being, y'know, a normal keyboard.
5:47 I'm kinda surprised how many people think of computers when vacuum tubes come up, instead of guitar amplifiers, audio equipment, old radio electronics, etc... =/ 7:19 Nah, it's SSSR. Just because they look alike, doesn't mean cyrillic letters correspond to letters in our alphabet. =)
It looks to me like the bench supply he was using to crank to the voltage on the lighter was a 20 volt max supply. I believe he was pushing 19.something volts through things when he killed them.
You see that guys hair? That's the kinda guy you WANT to watch do experiments lol. There's another older guy on the Tech Ingredients channel that does some wacky stuff, and looks like he should be doing wacky stuff
Oh Command & Conquer: Red Alert, nice to hear someone talking about that. They released the original one from the PS1 for PC for free, I have it on my PC.
Funniest part to me here is he could have actually purchased carbon electrodes from a welding supply shop. They are used in carbon arc cutting, the older much angrier cousin of the modern plasma cutter.
Sure it can't do a lot that a cheap butane lighter can't do but when it is empty it can still be recharged where a cheap butgane lighter is kaput when it's empty.
19:20 Seeing as zinc usually makes green, and here made blue at the bottom and yellow at the top. And acknowledging that in color theory blue and yellow make green. Seems some sort of separation in taking place here. Not a scientist, so just an assumptive observation.

the cage keeps planes in the sky (wave cancelation and/or signal jamming - intentional or otherwise) - this stuff can go full serious in the time it takes for the fcc to call the faa - - - was just thinking and it occured to me (thought experiment here) if you removed all reactor shielding globally then what would be the death toll over 5 years - then try removing faraday cages - (not going deep into pcbs and components but faraday cages or cans as ee's call'em are used all over electronics) - random electronic devices would start behaving erratically and even be damaged by the received emissions
"C C C P" is in cyrillic
Written in Latin it should say "S S S R"
Actially USSR
@@Arhange1790That’s the abbreviation of the name in English, the other is the name in Russian.
Imma come back to this to fully clear it up
English name: Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR)
Russian name written in Cyrillic: Союз Советских Социалистических Республик (CCCP)
Russian name written in Latin: Soyuz Sovetskih Socialisticheskih Respublik (SSSR)
You want to freak out on crazy looking vacuum tubes. Look at the ones used in broadcast transmitter finals. Ya know, that output is about 8KV @ 3A or so.
The different colors from the metals are made by exciting them even more than just a single electron!!
Styropyro is truly the maddest if youtubes scientists.
Did you notice early on in the video he a screw driver sticking out of an electrical socket with a bunch of wires wrapped around it?
You should watch the video by Mattias Krantz where he makes an "electric piano" but it's made using arcs of plasma that make different pitches. Instead of being, y'know, a normal keyboard.
Your wheeze is so contagious
5:47 I'm kinda surprised how many people think of computers when vacuum tubes come up, instead of guitar amplifiers, audio equipment, old radio electronics, etc... =/
7:19 Nah, it's SSSR. Just because they look alike, doesn't mean cyrillic letters correspond to letters in our alphabet. =)
The lighter prob uses high freq ac to initiate the arc.
It looks to me like the bench supply he was using to crank to the voltage on the lighter was a 20 volt max supply. I believe he was pushing 19.something volts through things when he killed them.
You see that guys hair? That's the kinda guy you WANT to watch do experiments lol. There's another older guy on the Tech Ingredients channel that does some wacky stuff, and looks like he should be doing wacky stuff
Brilliant thumbnail 😂
The periodic table in the video is from the Chicago science museum, I have the same one. Idk if that’s the exact name of the museum though
Oh Command & Conquer: Red Alert, nice to hear someone talking about that.
They released the original one from the PS1 for PC for free, I have it on my PC.
Let styropyro run your nuclear power plant. "lets crank up the voltage and see what happens"
His neighbors are wondering why their wifi and cell phones keep going out.
5:12 Face expression for giant capacitor
The atmoic emission colors of nitrogen are red/blue and of oxygen red/green. I would guess this had something to do with the unexpected colors we saw.
"lets do X and see what happens" That's basically how science worked in the dawn of the nuclear age.
Funniest part to me here is he could have actually purchased carbon electrodes from a welding supply shop. They are used in carbon arc cutting, the older much angrier cousin of the modern plasma cutter.
Someone should do a reaction video of several people reacting to this video,
It would be just people sitting there with their mouths open.
Do you think that cage would really work to protect a transciver?
Sure it can't do a lot that a cheap butane lighter can't do but when it is empty it can still be recharged where a cheap butgane lighter is kaput when it's empty.
watching some of my favorite things to watch whilst baked.
19:20 Seeing as zinc usually makes green, and here made blue at the bottom and yellow at the top. And acknowledging that in color theory blue and yellow make green. Seems some sort of separation in taking place here.
Not a scientist, so just an assumptive observation.
4:10
This is the difference between a scientist and an engineer
I freaking loved CC: Red Alert
