Patreon Preview - This Candle MAKES Oxygen
Added 2023-12-08 03:47:39 +0000 UTCA rough cut for your consideration. As usual let me know what you think.
This video is rather short. I tried to stretch it by having a history lesson at the end, but frankly i think i might cut that since it doesn't feel like it flows well with the rest of the video. Do you guys think a 4 minute video is acceptable? Any ideas of additional experiments or chemistry i can do with the oxygen candle?
Should i extend the "lab notes" portion where i was testing bad mixtures and actually go through the process of failure before showing the working composition? (i'm not sure, but that might be a cheap way to stall for time)
Anyway, thanks for checking it out.

I always enjoy learning about the failures.

2023-12-08 15:13:01 +0000 UTCWould a sparkler or magnesium strip be a better starter? The torch seems to primarily scatter the powder rather than igniting it. For that matter isn't this the reaction *in* a sparkler, just with extra oxidizer?
