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.

jm just slowly rewatching all of the videos in memory of the great King Of Random. RIP
Mr Khai Thank you. I’m doing the same. Nice to know I’m not the only one.
Me too bro
I'm the same. And there are enough videos that he will never be forgotten...
Same
Same
Whoa! Nicely done, Grant!
RIP

Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" lllll
Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" you are the best
Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" You could use sodium and water
Grant Thompson - "The King of Random"
+Jake Liveronce you all ready said that
"This powers will burn your skin." 2 minutes later, gently touches it with thumb.
Geometry Dash MCCreeper well he gently tap it
So you'll burn your hand with the first one then treat it with glycerin
@@samuelerrington3611 then it spontaneously erupts on fire 1 minute later or so. Nice
Hey at least he was careful by doing that
Minecraft Creeper awww man
Enjoy the new twist on this classic experiment! And if you check out the Cottage Life channel, let them know you came from Grant Thompson's recommendation. :D Cheers!
Awsome video!Love them.
your an amazing person love you
Yay no more hard time starting a fire! Thank you so much!
You've helped me, I'll use this when i'll be going for a camp!!!
You're really "The King of Random"
Awesome video Grant, I was thinking it was different chemistry. Your combo is better! Keep up the great work.
Homemade grenade if you directly mix em in the cap
Scary that that’s what I was thinking
Gotta throw it though before it goes off
These pyrotechnic videos (smoke flare, homemade rocket fuel, this) are awesome! What I really like is that your instructions are easy to follow and understandable as well.
Everyone: Rip
Me: this is actually a nice video
ikr it’s getting a bit annoying
Love this one Grant! How about using this mixture as a delayed fuse for rocket launches?
-Ritchie
That sounds like a great alternate use for the mix Ritchie!
Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" Oh so when another popular youtuber comments you reply ?? haha funny xD
Can I tell u a secret? Rather than as a fuse, use them as fuel for the rocket, it's very similar to rocket fuel after all!(though just a little bit of the oxidizer, less chance of it going out of control that way)
ya do dat!
SonicDadDotCom how to start a fire without match?
Easy just use a flame thrower 😂
Awesome way to make a fire, and i must make that soda cap container. Great to see you make more survival videos as well.
Great video, Grant. It's high quality with lots of information and ideas. At first I was thinking "oh no, another useless fire starter" but then you explained the ingredients have multiple uses. 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.
This is my first vid im watching of him and i can already tell he was a great person
R. I. P.
This was my first also
Another great video, GT.
I always love to see this particular reaction.
It starts off so innocuously and then suddenly... *WHOOSH*.
(P.S. And another very common use for glycerin is in... ahem... personal lubrication products. For my take on this one, I'll probably be dipping into the lady's handbag....)
Haha, exactly right!! ..if you want to be "anal" about it if you know what I'm sayin'! It's used in suppositories guys, get your minds out of the gutter!
That totally did not leave me scarred for life. (Serious)
Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" ...well then
69 likes, well then
omg he actually replied to this dirty comment lol
dude, I love your videos. I've watched just about every one and there were multiple times where I thought to myself, "no way that's possible.... I can't believe it, this is awesome".
keep doing what you're doing!
With the earthquakes we've had the last several years it's quite a handy thing to add in an emergency disaster kit for the home.
This is probably one of the most useful things I've watched on youtube. Good job!
Wouldn’t the potassium permanganate be toxic when burned? Like, can you cook stuff over the fire?
This is to get the fire started and not to actually cook over so I assume once it’s completely burnt off it would be okay
You can use it to start a fire for warmth and for cooking in a makeshift pot like a turtle shell.
I’m sure if you had any thoughts that you couldn’t you could burn something over the fire and make another that’s clean?
Oscar Simpson Jacka I dunno what you mean
Man, this was awesome!! I'm a grade 6 teacher and am always looking for engaging activities that are relevant to the lesson but dazzle the students interests. I have only subscribed to your channel recently but after going through your videos, I already have a stack of new and fascinating lessons and activities to not only engage the students, but also keep my popularity rating up. LOL. Great vids. Cant wait for the next one! Cheers.
Grant, I think you're letting that table go to waste! Your next video build needs to feature the work station. Although these last few videos have been a lot of fun!😁
Don't worry Murl! As it gets colder outside, more projects will be done on the table :)
I have done exactly this before I saw the video. It's nice to know I on the right track. Great Job!!!
That was amazing great video two thumbs up on all your videos
Thank you!
Grant Thompson - "The King of Random"
Went on a 3 day trip and used this method each morning. Two of which was damp from a previous rain. But this combined with birch bark to keep the flame and dead pine twigs still attached to the tree, the fire always started.
There's no match for this video
Lol
:)
pun
That didn't strike me much.
Marshmalo
Dude you just revolutionized fire starting.
You can get rid of the pink in the water with an additional small pinch of sugar. Also sugar water can effectively neutralize spills.
Also if you mill the powder first you will get a faster flame due to the increased surface area. If you use this stuff a lot wear a HEPA filter gas mask because its a hepatoxin and you don't want to inhale a lot of it.
Manofohm Chemical Creations Wait... the fire can kill you? Will it be safe after a few minutes?
The KMnO4 powder is somewhat toxic.
How do you make sure it's safe? Do you throw sugar in the fire or something?
Huskies Plays No sugar only helps to take out the residual oxidising effect of the KMnO4 in water, not in the fire.
I remember seeing this little combo on Survivor Man when he was in Africa if I remember right. He did mention that the powder could be used for treating water but he didn't show it so it was nice to see that and to know what to wait for as far as color goes. 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.
In soviet russia the tinder lights you! PS rip the king
I get it
why rip the king he isn't dead?
@@micmac4435 actually yeah he is. Sadly he passed away in a paragliding accident
Linda Thetford paramotoring he was going to look at a camping spot that he was going to go to that weekend with his family the draft picked up as he was landing got tangled up in the cords and was hung by a tree that caught his chute
I thought he crashed into something
Great video! very informative. I love how you take the time to talk to your viewers at the end of every video too.
By the way, congrats on 2 million subs!
3:54 Kingradulations. I see what u did there ;)
I see what you did there!
That's exactly what I though
Mysterygammingbro In the mighty words of JonTron "I get it!....I don't get it."
Psycho umm he didnt say "I dont get it".
i dont think he meant that....
Very cool setup and reaction
You also taught us to make a grenade
and now im on a watchlist
this guy never cease to amaze me
You can just buy storm proof matches
I wish I would have found your channel a long time ago but I'm just really glad I'm here now. Your videos are awesome and informative! I've made a few of the items you've shown and they work incredibly well.
Please keep the videos coming and I'll continue to "like" them and forward to my friends and employees.
Thanks again and best of luck to any future ideas you decide to have.
"Lets take a little trip to the mountains." Goes to backyard*
Dude!!!I absolutely love all the videos that you make. When ever I see a easy to do video like the ninja balls I go right to my room and make it that second. Thanks for all the great ideas and projects.
no access to useful oxidiser´s in germany : (
Ernsthaft ? Was für'n Mist. Will die Regierung uns los werden :/
GSSF
Keine Ahnung aber um an Chemikalien wie Peroxide oder Chlorate oder Nitrate zu kommen muss man Chemiker sein oder aber das irgendwie industriell einkaufen : / Naja zum Glück habe ich in einem Jahr mein Diplom in Chemie :D dann bau ich mir erstmal Raketentreibstoff auf Zucker und und nem oxidationsmittel.
Try Ebay and other online stores. You can buy potassium nitrate as "stump remover".
So ein Blödsinn, das kann man überall kaufen.
Zumbeispiel hier: www.kadotec.de/Kaliumpermanganat-1-Kg.html#!prettyPhoto
und hier: www.123liquids.de/index.php?route=product/product&path=145_132&product_id=416
Ich helfe gern.
Stimmts really bro its potassium permangonate not nitrate
1:00 that scoop was flawless
4:28 rip 2 bottle caps
cool video grant. sharing this with my dad. he is always looking for new ways to make a fire while out camping and hiking
Oh I bet the TSA just loves you :)
Kelly S lol
wow..i like this effortless kit for summer camp!!Thanks Grant!
hope i able to find these two items easily..
you can make oxygen gas with potassium permanganate
equation 2KMnO4=>K2MnO4+MnO2+O2 heat to decompose
Your projects are the best and all of them are super awesome
Im in the middle of the woods and need to make a fire! Welp, better grab my emergency chemistry experiment!
Lol I just bring a Flint and steel
This is definitely something I gotta try. I'm always drawn to anything pyrotechnic. By the way I already checked out the guys in cottage life. I was introduced to them by kipkay. Really liked the water skiing chair. Talk about hilarious.
U will be missed 👍😥☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️🏆🏆🏆🏆🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
Great Video
potassium permanganate is also sold in chemist/Pharmacy as "Condys Crystals" and comes in a smaller bottle.
I will never try disinfecting water with this because I am colourblind and can't tell the difference between pink and purple
Ikr
i wouldnt do it. im not colorblind but i cant think of the pressure. the colors are almost the same and my health lies on that judgement
+kicsimoe It's also that both the colors like almost the same. I wouldn't take a chance
+kicsimoe same.
YEAH MISTER GRANT!
SCIENCE!
This is a great idea can't wait to impress my scout troop on our next rainy camp out :)
same here!
But can you use that fire to cook food? Or will it kill you?
fire is fire
Its magical deadly fire.
The magic part will kill you.
I'd personally let it burn for a bit before cooking anything to make sure the chems are all gone
Alrighty, thanks guys, you prevented a death
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.
one of my favorite videos youve made
What kind of sorcery is this!? The tinder lights itself!?
Science*
+chests_ no sorcery, its witchy
chemistry*
This is awesome and I will be adding this to my kit this weekend. Thanks for all you do.
could you mix the two, throw them, and they will be a grenade?
Hey Ryan!
Ryan Zink If it was really big, but the most it would probably do is startle people.
no
Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" there are many many many ways to start a fire without matches. But i love this way, its so cool!
So sad he’s still gone rip 😔
you are an awesome dad your kids must be so impressed you do this pretty much daily and it's so cheap and so awesome
*I just use SALT !!!*
Does this really work? o.O
SALT
salt and what to start a fire?
Son of a Zombie Just pour some salt on a leaf and watch the magic happen
Potassium permanganate is a kind of salt.
I've been waiting for this vid all week thanks grant!
I appreciate it's not the intent but haven't you just described how to make a bomb ?
Nope, he hasn't. Also in your profile picture is that an AND gate or an inverter?
I think he has and it's an op amp.
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.
just whatever you do dont put it in your enemies locker *wink *wink
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 ?
Can't wait till I go home to make this! Great video Grant
make mini grenades with the same ingredients
you mean chemical pop caps?
Cool vid! I would remove dry leaves around the area where you light your fires. Even though you have some stones to contain the fire, it can still catch fire. Your channel is great! Thanks!
Matchless fire=lighter
Leo Smith Actually it makes sense
So funny I forgot how to laugh
Grant, you just made a new life time viewer.
Any one in 2019
Congrats on 2,000,000 subscribers Grant
just get a lighter
+Dick C. Hocolate It's for emergencies, What happens if the lighter fluid is all gone? Whatchu gonna do?
+NourGodly1592 lol... Half a bottle cap of that or the lighter? Lighter right?
Good luck spending all time trying to lit the lighter.
It's mostly made of water. Your answer is invalid.
+SpukeyFo' chu I forgot about that.. But the problem is few people have the plastic wrapper.
i love that you are making survival videos make more please.
Awesome! Lots of useful info there Grant.
I remember your first video when you started by using only pictures and now you are one of TH-cam most watched channels( in my opinion)
I used to do this experiment in early 90s when i was 7-8 years old. My father is a doctor and he showed me this. We used to make a fake mountain with mud and sand and at the top we used to make a hole and put these two chemicals, it resembled a volcano! Such feels.
Hi i am chemist and molecular scientist and love the way you present science in a child friendly way. - Jack M.
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
already knew that way of making fire but I will admit the bottle cap storage containers are fantastic
Just found your channel and I'm being greatly entertained and educated! Thanks!
Great video. Always love it when you post more
That's a brilliant idea mate. Keep up the good job.
awesome. i have done that befor with scouts and it suprised the heck out of them
King of Random you are a fire that will always burn bright in my heart ...mitukuye , oyasin🙏
Potassium permanganate can burn you? We use the stuff all the time at work (fish culturist) It can stain your skin or clothes a bit if you get it on you with a bit of water, but I've never had it burn me, or even cause irritation. It sucks if you breathe some of the dust in, but it isn't painful, it just tastes like a metallic version of inhaling koolaid dust.
Nice dance moves man. And really cool hack i will definitely bring it with me on our next camping trip this autumn.
Wow! That is incredibly simple!
Where the hell were you when I was camping nearly year round???? ARGH!!! Still, great little trick to know. Glad I found you :-)
I can't wait to do this with my son. It looks totally awesome! 😎
You make the most useful and fun things
I love your videos !!!!!!!!! you are my favourite channel on youtube
You are the best Grant love your video's please carry on with them and your blow dart gun is so cool my twin brother and I made 2 today we could not get all the parts but we got something out of what we could get at Hoedspruit :)
Very cool and probalay going to be one of the first few things to add to my camping kit
Congrats on 6 mill I saw u grow 3 thousand in 2 hours good job
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.
That isn't a cardboard piece in between the two containers check out the bottle cap container video
nice video thanks for uploading it now that i have learned how to start a fire without a match or a lighter.i think i wanna try it tomorrow
Love this channel he realy is the king of random
I've never seen this one before but man that was pretty cool.
i really enjoy your videos grant, they make me happ
Cool video! Could you make one about what's in your day-pack survival kit?
We miss you grant. When the apocalypse happens you’ll be the main reason I survive
I really enjoy watching you video's and love your ideas keep up the good work
