My absolute favorite tv show from my childhood. I clearly remember this particular segment, why you might ask? Because my mother had all these chemicals in the medicine cabinet. So, I took it upon myself to do some experiments, sneakily in the laundry. It was fun, they all worked, but while trying to hide the evidence and clean up the mess, I managed to get some of the potassium permanganate and peroxide on mum's good bath towels............ My mother cursed me and I cursed Deane🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for bringing back some great memories.
Darn , now I have to go move my permanganate and glycerin apart.
Amazon recommends them together! :)
Marc Normandin Thank you Jeff Bezos! Very cool!
A Starfleet officer who wandered into the kitchen of an Italian restaurant spotted a similar storage error, and exclaimed, “You’re storing pasta next to antipasto! Are you out of your Vulcan mind?”
@@MN-sc9qs that’s funny!
Watching this show makes me think that having raw chemicals in your house used to be a lot more common than it is today.
40 years later and I still remember seeing these experiments. 🙂
I used to work for a company that sold sodium permanganate. It was a chemical that would wick through the cap of its containers we had pretty easily, no matter how tight you put the cap on. Not good for shipping overseas. We used cardboard pallets, as they didn't need to be treated for insects like wood ones did. By the time those pallets reached their destination they were nothing put ashes. The was the first and the last time we shipped them.
Bright Red jumper = safety is no 1 priority 🤣
Fun fact: potassium permanganate is Prince's O+> fav chemical (oh yes, and Deane's).
Laughing at the thought of a whole generation setting their bathrooms on fire because of Dean's teachings
I think this was described by James Herriot in All Creatures Great and Small (or one of those books). He said that it was unnecessary to add the glycerine for disinfecting but the farm folks were more impressed by the fireworks show 😆. For some reason I remembered that..
I love those books
Who remembers being an 80's kid and searching the medicine cabinet for condy's crystals and glycerine just to make purple fire. Of course nowadays, the chemist will give the whole 50 questions as to why you (an adult) would need it. Although in the 80's they'd never heard of ebay.
Exactly, been there done that.
No we didn't have eBay but we could go down to the chemical store and buy whatever we like without any questions
Hey kids, take this stuff that's quite poisonous and add it to this other stuff and watch your house burn down with purple flames! Spectacular, wasn't it?
I'm kidding, but imagine the outcry if this was on TV today. lol
I love the safety jumper. No need for safety glasses , or gloves.
I'm American so I don't know what a jumper is but I've heard the term often and have wondered why it's called that.
It's cause Australians deal with far worse things.. like a burning continent for instance.
@@jamesdaniels8007 Weird when aborigines set fires its cultural. When fires happen naturally its "muh climate change". Millennial NPC nonsense...
@@Thebonesoftrees Controlled backburning is very different to an uncontrolled fire, you doof!
he looks like the lead singer of the spider murphy gang
Damn I love that Spectacular Science music! Really gets you pumped that you're about to learn something awesome... great demonstration Deane!
I like this show very much.
Deane that is so interesting. How much KMnO4 and hydrogen peroxide do you think one would need to breathe or even survive off of?
Good question, I imagine it would be similar to the mass of wet food we eat. So maybe 8 pounds a day.
Keep in mind, expelling CO2 is also a necessary part of respiration.
Breathing in pure oxygen will just get you high
Atmosphere is only about 25% oxygen
Just did a quick calculation - according to Google a person uses ~20l of O2 per day, which theoretically can be released from under 3 liters of OTC 3% hydrogen peroxide. You'd have to capture all of that oxygen, and scrub CO2 and remove H2O from the breathing air, but in a MacGyver scenario you could probably put something together to keep you alive for a while.
@@NicholasA231 RDA could do that easy with his Swiss Army Knife 😂
There are better compounds we use that absorb co2 and release the o2
Yay, Spectacular Science!
Gorgeous! 💜
Loved this one 👍
Thanks TH-cam recommendations
Holy combustion, Batman! How does the glycerin react with the KMnO4 without a spark or flame? Does that make the two *hypergolic* ?
Purple fire powder would sound cooler (and be easier to say) but whatever works right? :P
Love it!
"the K stands for potassium..."
hmm, makes sense
Reading the title I thought he was gonna make nitrogen triiodine, a great little contact explosive
Wasn't Spectacular Purple Explosion the name of a short-lived psych rock band that Rob was a member of back in the late '60s?
Can I use the purple liquid in my printer if I run out of meh-jin-ta color? (can't spell)
Vintage TH-cam video
ma i the only one that want to know if it's safe to breath the "oxigen" that the peroxide+permandanate releases? like a way to hyperventilate a little
I love lean!
I feels so '80 right now
Real question : how did they get these cool informations before the Internet ?
Ruben doing research probably
Ruben
Encyclopedias, mostly.
Every few years, multi-volume encyclopedias would come out on a variety of subjects (I'm talking around 15 thick volumes per encyclopedia, each of which you could probably knock out a man with).
It's fascinating how encyclopdias are slowly becoming a thing of the past that only vintage collectors would bother with, rather than an essential source of knowledge, which each household was pretty much required to have access to.
Most public libraries and school libraries had several sets of encyclopedias. For example: World Book Encyclopedia; Encyclopedia Britannica; Funk & Wagnalls . . . In fact, World Book was a sponsor of Curiosity Show for several years. Deane.
CuriosityShow yeap I thought so Researching I remember I had to do that in school before the World Wide Web was invented
Oh ok must be a lot of research for such a short episode
This is going to blow up soon
Soon.

Why he ourple?
Pow show!
kmno4 + peroxide = coke
roucoupse i don't get it. Coke has CO2.
Pretty sure I dont own potassium permanganate
What losers would dislike this video. It's genius and very interesting to learn
Thanks for your kind remarks. there are many more science activities on our TH-cam channel. Please subscribe and tell your friends. www.curiosityshow.com.au Deane.
A like for the watermelon jumper.
Is Potassium Permanganate on the store?
Go to your local chemist
KMnO4
KMnO⁴
I’ve come back to this video to verify the ingredients because on a Scout campout last week, I learned this is one of the many methods you can use to start a campfire. 🏕
