The Professor's so polite that rather than 'ordering' Neil to do stuff for him, he always 'persuaded' Neil.

I'd be willing to bet that many viewers enjoy your videos way more than any chemistry class in school. :-)

I'm so glad the Professor is reading Ignition! That is such a fantastic book, and as a fan of rocket engines I really hope you explore more of the ideas in it. I don't expect to see any experimental videos on FOOF or the other super dangerous and exotic propellants but perhaps you can discuss it?

Neil so fearless he's recording right next to the aniline-nitric reaction without a cover for the GoPro

As a mechanic working at a nitric acid plant back in the 80's, having yellow tipped fingers was part of the job. Everybody knew what unit you were assigned to work. Nice video thanks for the memories! πŸ˜ƒ

11:37 "Professor, is Nitric Acid dangerous?" "No, not at all! The warning signs on the bottle for a corrosive, toxic and oxydizing compound are there only for fun"

fun variation- In college we used American quarters and dimes and fuming Nitric acid which ate the copper from inside the coin leaving a thin coin shell.

I've never clicked a video notification so fast in all my life. Finally, my periodic table of videos fix! Oh how I've missed you. ❀️

Note that the book Ignition!: An Informal History of Liquid Rocket Propellants was first published in 1972 and was legendarily difficult or impossible to find. Fortunately, it was re-published in 2018 and remains available. Recommended.

Ignition is a very good book and the author really has a way with words. Every chemist should read it.

Wonder if the Professor knows about Nile Red? He did the Nitric Acid β€œrocket” last year....

The little wink from Neil at 6:12 made my day. But you know that tuppence could have been cautiously, patiently, prudently invested in the bank!

Awesome! I did the same experiment with a Euro 5c and wondered what was going on. I dropped it in a test tube not a beaker. It started slowly dissolved away the copper then heated it up and fizzed away like yours until there was only a small unrecognizable steel disc left. This is a great series!
