TTTT - Fails and Future Projects

I wanted to show what is coming up and what projects viewers have suggested that just didn't work.

Let me know which of these you'd like to see first!

[JesseAndMike]

Awesome video! :D The chocolate chip one is going to be really cool! Liked!

[TheBudny]

Even the "failures" can be pretty cool. The microwave popcorn is an example. Great series Matt.

[Aster]

I enjoy the TTTT videos just as much as the shooting videos and I really appreaciate that you keep posting videos so frequently! Thanks a lot for all the cool experiments!

If you lived close here in Idaho I would let you come and experiment on my land, I have a big piece in the county. 
Here is my observation on this: 
- If it has water in it, it's going to steam and pressurize (in-fact oils will too due to a lack of oxygen)
- If it has a material that combust under pressure or heat, it will explode.
- If it's dry (or very little moisture content and it is not a combustible, it will burn or do nothing. 
- Certain materials such as sand will melt down when the temp is high enough, but so will your test tube. 
- Anything with a low boiling point will vaporize quickly and can have a close effect to steam.
- Anything with a high boiling point will take longer to react.

Froglube will be interesting considering it is barely effected by even barrel heat during heavy firing causing red hot metal. Its an amazing gun lube.

[namo]

Thanks for listening to so many of my suggestions! A couple more: gummy bears. Hopefully they would melt and caramelize. Pykreet might be interesting. That's ice with sawdust mixed in. Might cause some cool burning. Also whatever the hell is inside of a lava lamp.

[EweChewBrrr]

How about solder wire? If you added distilled water to the crayons then you have a lava lamp like I suggested before.

[sctte-]

Water based paint or even oil based would be cool.  I think EweChewBrrr's idea of putting solder in there would be awesome, maybe it would look like boiling mercury?

[Itsamemario]

Not sure how (or if) this would work, but fix-a-flat would be pretty cool to see, maybe.

[locouk]

KN03 with sugar would be fun, it'll melt first then as the KN03 is an oxidiser it should have a nice bang.
And or.. Hydrogen peroxide and a flammable component.

[DaHempster]

Hey Jeff, lots of ideas....Pepto Bismol, superglue, WD40, hot dog, bubblegum, stick deodorant, blood, vinegar, Legos, ink, sugar water vs. salt water, sardines, muriatic acid, hair, paint balls, and you could always do hand lotion and say it is a personal sample...lol 

[flyod]

I hope your shooting woes get sorted out quickly.  You seem like a really cool guy Jeff, and I really enjoy all of your videos, be they HG, TTTT, black widow, wax slug making or shooting gummy bears.  Best of luck to you!

[crazyzee]

I think of these batches I would like to see the crayons or glow stick ones first but I was also wondering about maybe different types of paints. ie:out door house paint, indoor paint, maybe spraycan paint but I could see that being a hard one to get in the tube.  Anyway love the videos and stay safe.

[benjaminbreeg]

Try drawing ink. Would be interesting since it usually contains shellac.

[andrewburnham]

"the test tube videos are filler videos"

they're the reason I subscribed :P

[FISHERMANPADDY]

Hey Jeff, the choccie chips will be cool.  

I was thinking lead, although it may be too dangerous.

[maritgoldman]

Taofledermaus, we would love to see you try out pepto bismol. The high content of bismuth subsalicylate in the pepto bismol might make for an interesting reaction if it decomposes into solid precipitate bismuth.

[OwariNeko]

That popcorn got me thinking... Can you do butter? I mean, pure butter. 

[steve]

All the items you suggested sound interesting.
How about trying a gas. Propane for refillable lighters for instance. You could epoxy the bottom end of a lighter onto the test tube to fill or part-fill the test tube with the liquid/gas. Has hot melt glue been tried? Paracord? Chillies?
A fully charged lithium battery. Silicone grease. DOT5 brake fluid.
Loving the videos, all of them The shooting is good but so are these torture tests.
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos, very entertaining and informative.

Froglube. Gotta do that next. Love your channel btw.
