I wonder if the flames would be gone fast enough to be able to wear the shirt while it burned away. That would be cool. -dude, best stripper shirt ever. o3o-
If you two did a collab, there would probably be frozen exploding Tesla coils. And *eyebrows*. Btw, this is a suggestion that you two should do a collab, if you couldn't tell already :)
PLEASE READ THIS GRANT! 1. Make thread from flash cotton 2. Make rope from that thread 3. Set it alight! Thanks for your videos man, really brighten my day!
LIKE THIS TO SAVE GRANT FROM LUNG CANCER: I know its cool and all to have plumes of smoke, but really Grant, you should design some sort of fume hood for on top of the work bench. You could probably use a shop vac and some vacuum lines to a glass fume hood/reaction vessel if you are doing this inside still.
Aplip it would be easier to make a long strip of flash paper and putting it around an empty tp roll than trying to soak the entire roll of a dissolvable substance
Here's a couple suggestions for things to do with flash cotton: 1.) See how it reacts under pressure, possibly as a propellant for one of your cannons. 2.) Try making flash-cotton yarn and using your rope making machine to see how a tight wrapping/multiple layers effects the burn.
it has been a long, tiring day. you have came home from work and you sit down on you sofa lazily. You're watching tv and a random ad comes on. You think about skipping it but you don't. the catch slogan sings: 🎵 Grant's tampons best for the moment 🎵 You wonder why the fudge would someone make this... On the television screen you see the package. It's colours are yellow; black and white. The logo is a triangle with a crown in it. the words "GRANT THOMPSON TAMPONS" the box is mostly black. You notice the advert mutters " these tampons are the best for any moment, If it's from the surprise to magic." Why does it say magic, you said to yourself. At the bottom of the screen, where all adverts say stuff like 'warning this could put you in danger', it says : WARNING: these tampons are the world's only pyro-technic tampons... DO NOT PUT IN THE FEMALE BODY ( could cause real irritation inside ) use for magic and fun. USE CAUTIOUSLY. NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUNG HUMAN BEINGS. You panic. You are trying to find you car keys. You race down to the nearest shopping mall. You ask at the pharmacy for "pyro-technic tampons". They give you the odd stare. this took me 10 minutes to write. SORRY IF I SPELT WRONG I AM IN SECONDARY SCHOOL(UK)😂. I HOPE YOU ENJOYED.
TheSphereHead Have you looked up the thermite launcher? Thermite is basically powdered rust and aluminum. It can be ignited with a magnisium flare or similarly high temperature device.
you need to detonate it, not burn it..... stick a small ball of the nitro cellulose on an anville and whack it with a lump hammer... or use a primer from a bullet. we used to make nitro cellulose back when we were in school it's also known as gun cotton. you get a huge energy release if you detonate it.
You should do some camping gadget videos, with home made gadgets! Maybe a multi part series, and last episode take them all out to try in a camp setting.
Being a magician, this video really interested me. I don't use flash paper / coton very often, but I do use it, and if this is how this stuff is made, that's absolutely awesome.
Hey Grant Thompson, thanks for the great idea and nice video! You could use the nitrated cotton balls as gun powder, I guess. Could you please reload your 9mm shells with this kind of cotton balls to see how it performs? Thanks :)
Its a deflagrant, not an explosive, but if confined in a container it could develop significant pressure and be dangerous. Nitrocellulose is a common ingredient in smokeless powders. If relatively pure cellulose is used and the nitration reaction is run to completion there would be virtually no ash and smoke.
richhagenchicago nah mate nitrocellulose is definatley a HE if u use an effective enough detonator, it detonates at around 7300 m/s much higher then TNT.
hey grant could you pleasssseee make solid butane and propane using liquid nitrogen? thx. Btw ive been subscribed since that foam cutter machine you made. :)
It is deuterium oxide. a hydrogen atom with a proton and a neutron in the nucleus is deuterium , A regular hydrogen atom has a proton and no neutron. So heavy water is D2O. Or 2 heavy hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.
rutschige Banane why, he wouldn't need it unless he had an entire ball on his clothes before he lit it, it can't light anything on fire unless he tries to
Won't work. Ceramic won't "melt' under anything Grant has used. However it will crack or shatter. Ceramic has a melting point of around 1500 Celsius (2732 Fahrenheit) give or take. Special Ceramics have a melting point of up to 3900 Celsius (7052 Fahrenheit).
you should try doing the butane bubbles fire trick and toss the flame on the flash cotton to see the effect. (not to mention itd look really cool) maybe make a super long flash cotton fuse to look cool.
You can make a stir bar from a glass tube and and iron nail with the head ground down. Just seal both ends of the the tube taking care to not to leave too much air inside.
If you suff some grams of this cottonpowder in a long paper cylinder with a floral stick on it, and you've made your own little rocket! This actually works really great, and they kan easily go up to about 10 meters. We did it once in school for a science project :)
As someone who works for a multinational chemical company I find your video's frustrating, so much potential but an unwillingness on your part to truly explore the 'exotic' options. Here's an idea for 5 videos: 1, Does the nitro cotton dissolve in acetone 2, What happens when you initiate the acetone residue with molten iron from thermite?. 3, What happens when you mix Potassium Permanganate with sulfuric acid? 4, What happens when you drop vodka onto KMnO4 + H2SO4 compound? 5, What happens if you drop a ball a nitro cotton into KMnO4 + H2SO4 compound? Considering you make at least $1000 per video I recon you owe me a thumbs up.
Grant, how about taking your flash cotton , pulling it out into fibers and making thread on a homemade spinning wheel . Then, use your rope making device to twist it into a fuse. Last coat the fuse in wax to water proof it? Could be some high quality fuse.
The increase of the weigth is due to the change of the molecular structure. The molar weigth (weigth of 6,022*10^23 molecules) of the cellulose is smaller than the one of the nitrocellulose. To be a bit more precise: Cellulose has lots of OH-Groups which are exchanged by NO3 groups and these are heavier.
All right. What we are witnessing here is classic nitrocellulose. In the past it was used as the base of film for photography and motion picture projections, for obvious reasons it was phased out in favour of Cellulose acetate.

Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" meee
eyyyy
Hi
Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" can you melt down stone and make a furnace with it?
Hi
try making a flash cotton t-shirt use 100% cotton
Melon. Nice idea :D
Melon. codys lab did underwear. Guessing that's where grant got the idea. him and Cody are friends
I wonder if the flames would be gone fast enough to be able to wear the shirt while it burned away. That would be cool.
-dude, best stripper shirt ever. o3o-
Iron Lightning that sounds awesome
FLAME ON!!!
"Let's fluff up this tampon and set it on fire"
My man Grant has the smoothest lines.
Rainy Day Videos watch that part again
lmao I found that so line awkward
We have the same plates!
+ElectroBOOM ha! That's hilarious!
If you two did a collab, there would probably be frozen exploding Tesla coils. And *eyebrows*.
Btw, this is a suggestion that you two should do a collab, if you couldn't tell already :)
You removed hydrogen from the hydroxide groups (OH) and added NO2 groups to the oxygen. The NO2 group weighs much more than the hydrogen.
ElectroBOOM me too
Run for your lives! Medhi is here! Grab your kids, grab your rubber gloves! Throw some circuits his way to distract him!
I love how Grant tried to teach us before he realised we just like explosions and shiny things
Who would want Grant Thompson to be their science teacher?
Usui Takumi I certainly would
Yes
Usui Takumi Me
me
me
PLEASE READ THIS GRANT!
1. Make thread from flash cotton
2. Make rope from that thread
3. Set it alight!
Thanks for your videos man, really brighten my day!
What if you did this to a 100% cotton shirt and set it off?
Like it if u want him to see this
I would work just as well as the cotton balls if it actually was made of 100 cotton
Um, a fire mabye?
The real question: How does he still have eyebrows?
His eyebrows grow at the speed of light
He doesn't...
Apparently not a lot of people watch Mythbusters... ;)
LIKE THIS TO SAVE GRANT FROM LUNG CANCER: I know its cool and all to have plumes of smoke, but really Grant, you should design some sort of fume hood for on top of the work bench. You could probably use a shop vac and some vacuum lines to a glass fume hood/reaction vessel if you are doing this inside still.
It could be some big 3' x 3' x 4' or 5' in reality
Yes, spread the word!!!!
Id watch a video of him installing and making it
he could do a video on it
David W he doesn't care I think.
I got an awesome video idea, you do what you did with the cotton balls but with toilet paper and you roll it out and light it on fire
I don't think that would work, seen as how the toilet paper is *paper* and the cotton balls are *cotton*. Would be cool to see though.
Robert Jackson cotton paper then
He even said during the video that flash cotton or flash paper can be made.
Aplip you could roll out the entire roll the treat the entire roll of toilet paper then roll it all the was up and it would be perfect
Aplip it would be easier to make a long strip of flash paper and putting it around an empty tp roll than trying to soak the entire roll of a dissolvable substance
i was just wondering who is the person behind the camera
Calvin kavanagh his wife
thanks pakaSkittles
Calvin kavanagh that guy must have a great time watching him live
yeh id say they do
PakaSkittles It isn't his wife
talk about an explosive period lol
eeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
explosive period of the universe :)
Dan St-Amour eyyyyyyy
Dan St-Amour lol
Make some glass Grant! lots of people are asking for it!

Dont trust Grant to become your science teacher he'll destroy the entire lab.
Best. Teacher. Ever!
YUP!! AND WE'LL LOVE IT!!
Or just burn your tampons o.o
Mushroom Boi hi will light a whole bowl of frozen gas on fire
Mushroom Boi Chou you also do not want him as your health teacher.
Imagine him to be your teacher in school 😀👓👔🎒
Stavros Spiridonov omg he would be the coolest chemistry teacher
and when grant uploads while at my school
i wont leave even a single class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stavros Spiridonov he would be the best science/engineering/art teacher lol
i would love it
Make glass from sand, like so grant sees this
can his foundry reach 2000°f??
a-lpha of Zeldaforme Gaming yes do it
a-lpha of Zeldaforme Gaming nice
a-lpha of Zeldaforme Gaming yes please!

It has been done...or attempted the Lorenz rifle from the 1860s
Innocent looking stuff. I hope you understand that compressed nitrocellulose is a high explosive. @@LUCKYFETT
Wife: Hey Grant! Where are my tampons?
iFarlander grant: i burned them...FOR SCIENCE!
it has been a long, tiring day. you have came home from work and you sit down on you sofa lazily. You're watching tv and a random ad comes on. You think about skipping it but you don't. the catch slogan sings:

Caleb Griffin spelling
Tom Madden clever man
john o' brien 👍 thanks
It's like a magic act:
Grant Thompson And The Amazing Flaming Tampon
Thanks for talking about and handling the tampon like an adult. Too many guys are afraid of them for some reason.
Make a scarf with it. And give it away to an unsuspecting victim.
to you maybe :P
iFarlander ..Yea and pretend to light his cigarette and ............
nothing will happen, it will burn instantly
try mixing them with the black powder and see what happens.
one word: kaboom.
perf
Max Rufus Schepelern Karrebæk random happens
What about trying to put them tight in a tube with a fuse in to see if they act like a firecracker!?!
try building a type of launcher for the flashcotton balls so that you can shoot little fireballs :D
TheSphereHead if you put two or more little balls in a tube and light the bottom one it launches little fire balls
TheSphereHead Have you looked up the thermite launcher? Thermite is basically powdered rust and aluminum. It can be ignited with a magnisium flare or similarly high temperature device.
that flash tampon brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "fire in the hole"
Make flash rope!
a-lpha of Zeldaforme Gaming ..how many comments did u post? lmao
you need to detonate it, not burn it..... stick a small ball of the nitro cellulose on an anville and whack it with a lump hammer... or use a primer from a bullet.
we used to make nitro cellulose back when we were in school it's also known as gun cotton.
you get a huge energy release if you detonate it.
Awesome fireballs. Did they have any odor?
+Specific Love Creations yeah a little. Hard to describe but it smells very nice
Specific Love Creations duh
Rest in peace King of Random
So what would happen if you dip the flash cotton in wax then light it
You should try making flash paper, like if you think so😁
😀😁
Thomas Westdyk flash cards
Jake Finzel Yeah! let's learn math!
Half Eaten Pizza I think you mean geography
Half Eaten Pizza Did I deliver you?
It looked like a marshmallow that was burning. The first one
Do u guys see it the one that burned slowly
Flash Underwear
PhaTs00p tosh.O did that
Do this!
You should do some camping gadget videos, with home made gadgets! Maybe a multi part series, and last episode take them all out to try in a camp setting.

make flash t-shirt 100%cotton
Elite Air it won't work because it is not really 100% cotton
"The world's first pyrotechnic tampon!" Uhh I'm pretty sure Grant is the only person who wanted to invent that.
ur vids r better then science lessons in school
That was awesome. Thanks for sharing 😊
Your flash paper enough stronger to do a bomb or firecracker ?
I love Your Videos. You are the Best.
I love your videos Grant Thompson - "The King of Random"
800 ml would be able to soak a t shirt. would love to see that
That would be great. I'm working on doing my own, so i might do something similar (not sure about a shirt).
Also, let's all love lain.
Every time he says tampon...EVERY TIME,I swear I see a tiny smile XD
why is there dislikes? his videos are perfect.
this guy is the most Perfected TH-camr i know
flashpon
thesilentmordecai guess you can call that a flashpun
hahaha, classic!
thesilentmordecai Maybe this comment will be flashpinned? no okay ill leave
Hay grant, when you do the green sand casting. Can you try to do it with Kinetic Sand?
kinetic sand burns at those temps, but would be similar to Grants earlier video using playdough to cast in.
Most times I've heard a guy say tampon in a video
Grant, considering you have an HHO generator, you should make an HHO torch, it would be cool to see, and probably a pretty useful tool for you.
I would never try to reproduce this but it was way cool to watch. Way to go!
when packed tight can it explode ?
Its a deflagrant, not an explosive, but if confined in a container it could develop significant pressure and be dangerous. Nitrocellulose is a common ingredient in smokeless powders. If relatively pure cellulose is used and the nitration reaction is run to completion there would be virtually no ash and smoke.
richhagenchicago nah mate nitrocellulose is definatley a HE if u use an effective enough detonator, it detonates at around 7300 m/s much higher then TNT.
can you use these to make a homemade flashbang.
i was asking. not requesting. sorry i didn't make that clear. i don't know what's in a flashbang.
tazz the dragon Well.. it would be cool shouting "Tampon in the Hole!"
KevinMulia lol ya that is funny
If your able to successfully make flash Cotten what about flash paper?
I have been looking for some affordable and simple life hacks that can help in survival and camping situations.
I love the speed dealer glasses
Could you make a flash marshmallow?
hey grant could you pleasssseee make solid butane and propane using liquid nitrogen? thx. Btw ive been subscribed since that foam cutter machine you made. :)
CaHOOTS butane and propane don't freeze in liquids nitrogen
Yes they do. Even the _boiling_ point of liquid N2 is below (< -190 C) the melting point of both butane and (even) propane.
Really? Sorry bout that. Didnt really know. they dont really tech the useful stuff at school. :P it would have been cool if it did tho.
+CaHOOTS
They are wrong; you are *correct.* Both butane and propane will freeze in liquid nitrogen.
Oh. I dont know what to believe now lol. Anyways Thanks for backing me up. :)
hey guys I think grant should make oobleck with heavy water like if you agree
whats heavy water
It's a bigger hydrogen isotope that is poisonous to humans
heavy water is a compound , its like water, but heavier (Its basically water)-ish
yea I think
It is deuterium oxide. a hydrogen atom with a proton and a neutron in the nucleus is deuterium , A regular hydrogen atom has a proton and no neutron. So heavy water is D2O. Or 2 heavy hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.
My brother was an alternative bookkeeper and he made his paper with this process.
i think u should do more woodwork projects because they would make ur channel more awsome
And again without fireprove glothes...
There's no such thing as fireproof. Only fire resistant.
Is fire fire proof? 0.0
rutschige Banane why, he wouldn't need it unless he had an entire ball on his clothes before he lit it, it can't light anything on fire unless he tries to
Abraham Turcios no it can be extinguish by fire
Mar Fung not sure even you know what you mean...

melt ceramic!!
he could with his solar scorcher
Won't work. Ceramic won't "melt' under anything Grant has used. However it will crack or shatter. Ceramic has a melting point of around 1500 Celsius (2732 Fahrenheit) give or take. Special Ceramics have a melting point of up to 3900 Celsius (7052 Fahrenheit).
You should try to do something will glass, such as what elements will form the strongest/weakest glass. Does thickness matter in shattering? etc.
you should try doing the butane bubbles fire trick and toss the flame on the flash cotton to see the effect. (not to mention itd look really cool) maybe make a super long flash cotton fuse to look cool.
Rest In Peace
Great man.... greatly missed
Grant can you try and make a long piece of flash cotton and see how long it stays on fire for. Like if you wanna see him do this.
When striking a ferro rod you should keep the blade in place and pull the ferro rod toward you so you don't move/disturb your tinder
Miss You 😭
grant make a expload on impact pokeball. like if you wanna see this
Stephen039 I think you mean its that exploding ball pokemon 😂
Life of Bu Khalifa Whaaaaa
*translation*
"Grant! Make a hand grenade!"
*NO. NO. NO. YOU DO NOT PUT A QUESTION MARK AFTER A DEMAND JUST NO. I AM SO TRIGGERED*
the average girl next door I should try this:what happens if you get trigered by a question mark? I should definetly try it?
the average girl next door light a tampon on fire?
The king of random? No, the king of cliffhangers.
You can make a stir bar from a glass tube and and iron nail with the head ground down. Just seal both ends of the the tube taking care to not to leave too much air inside.
Now you should try to use your arc furnace and flash cotton to reload your Glock with homemade 9mm rounds, propelled by flash cotton.
Make flash paper
electricity vs everything
nuclear bomb vs planet earth
=hiroshima
If you suff some grams of this cottonpowder in a long paper cylinder with a floral stick on it, and you've made your own little rocket! This actually works really great, and they kan easily go up to about 10 meters. We did it once in school for a science project :)
"Whats Grant up to these days?"
"Oh, i heard he's on that youtube, setting fire to tampons"
put one of these tampons in liquid nitrogen then light it :) please!!!!!
definantly grant!
make a canon that shoots cotton balls on fire boiiii
light up Barbie dolls make them explode, if you have a daughter prank her. or your sons toys maybe...
Well that just sounds mean. :/
The Hacksineer
It's just a prank bro.
yessssd
Try flash-cotton fuzes!!!! and you should also make a vid on how to make flash paper!! Love your stuff keep it up
As someone who works for a multinational chemical company I find your video's frustrating, so much potential but an unwillingness on your part to truly explore the 'exotic' options.
Here's an idea for 5 videos:
1, Does the nitro cotton dissolve in acetone
2, What happens when you initiate the acetone residue with molten iron from thermite?.
3, What happens when you mix Potassium Permanganate with sulfuric acid?
4, What happens when you drop vodka onto KMnO4 + H2SO4 compound?
5, What happens if you drop a ball a nitro cotton into KMnO4 + H2SO4 compound?
Considering you make at least $1000 per video I recon you owe me a thumbs up.
I'm fat

Grant, how about taking your flash cotton , pulling it out into fibers and making thread on a homemade spinning wheel . Then, use your rope making device to twist it into a fuse. Last coat the fuse in wax to water proof it? Could be some high quality fuse.
a real man whos not scared of touching a tampon!!
" whats up guys welcome back TODAY is an exciting DAY because TODAY is the DAY... "
The increase of the weigth is due to the change of the molecular structure. The molar weigth (weigth of 6,022*10^23 molecules) of the cellulose is smaller than the one of the nitrocellulose.

Grant does the fire Department know you by name yet :D
You should try to make a huge piece of flash cotton and light it!
Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, "Who lit the fuse on your tampon?"
He is not bad, to watch either...😊 so much for tapoons.
Can you make the cottons again and see which one can make a fire in the woods better and quicker
