    WARNING:
    This project involves chemicals that can stain, burn, and damage your skin. KMnO4 should not be ingested, and can be fatal if swallowed. This experiment is mainly for demonstrational purposes and should only be attempted with adult supervision and adequate training. Use of this video content is at your own risk.

    Project Inspired By:
    A chemical experiment I saw by the famous TH-cam chemist, NurdRage "4 ways to make fire without matches by using chemistry": (If you check out this video, please leave him a comment that you came from Grant Thompson's channel and that I gave him credit for the idea :) Thank you! (bit.ly/NRGlycer...)
    Project History & More Info:
    I took the classic science demonstration of using Glycerin and KMnO4, and played with the idea of using it as an alternate starter for survival situations. As it turns out, each chemical can be valuable for survival situations on it's own. But mix them together and you get the added benefit of starting a fire, even if your matches are wet.
    I've wanted to demonstrate this chemical experiment for years. It is fairly common and there are plenty of demonstrations already on TH-cam, but is always shown the same way .. someone mixing the two chemicals together on a plate or dish.
    I wanted to see if this reaction could be used for something more practical, so I took it to the woods and experimented with survival fires.
    For the container, I used the soda cap containers I made in a previous project: (bit.ly/SodaCapC.... These are lightweight, and keep the chemicals well separated, as long as they are made correctly. But beware, there could be great danger and big messes to clean up using poorly made containers!
    This idea could be used for hiking, biking or survival situations. The little packs are lightweight and hold enough chemicals to start 2-4 fires each.
    When the two chemicals spontaneously combust, they throw off a beautiful pink and purple flame. Most impressively, the reaction can still work even if the mixture is wet.

Very awesome! I don't think I'd trust the grade integrity of potassium permanganate sold as a pool product, it could have toxic fillers mixed in. I'm liking these chemistry-related projects.

I used to have a pool but I'd never actually used the stuff so it was cool to see and know a few places to get it so thanks a bunch.

      SanQae Nope fire is NOT fire. It defiantly counts what fuel you burn and use to cook with. For example using wood and leaves from a ceder tree poisons your food. So make sure you only use proper fuel and also let it burn for a while before cooking.

    What a GENIUS!
    Make a little Fireplace with a circle of rocks, and have an even BIGGER one outside the circle! ONLY THE ENTIRE FOREST!!
    Sure, make a circle of stones, then totally CLEAR THE AREA AROUND THE CIRCLE about 2 Feet around it!
    If that Chemical Reaction, or even just the Fire itself, spat some sparks out into the Leaves? Not my fault mate! You're the one showing us how to burn a Forest down.
    I'm not being nasty or anything!
    It's Hilarious seeing people doing things without thinking first.
    Great idea, but, you showed us the Dangerous version! Especially leaving all those Leaves around the Firecircle.

    you could also get 2 water sample bottles, dye it in fluorescent tint, then fuse it together with a dab of molten glass and use that as the container
    the fluorescence helps you find it if you happen to drop it in a river or stream or in a forest with low light conditions

    • @csfelfoldi
      @csfelfoldi 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      tobortine I don't think this reaction generates enough gases to make a potent bomb. However whichever country has KMnO4 powder on shopping shelves, probably sells other nasty stuff too... permanganate powder is restricted to industrial usage in most countries.

      csfelfoldi I have no idea how potent it might be but I wouldn't want to try a lot of these ingredients in an enclosed container. If they're not particularly dangerous why do you think they are restricted in most countries ?

    Just a thought on safety, ensure that you coat the cardboard disk separating the two compartments with epoxy to ensure it is waterproof. If not, glycerin could soak through the cardboard and into the permanganate.

    If you include aluminum foil in your kit you can put the permanganate in it. By confining it to a small space the reaction will be much faster and far more vigorous
