5 Experiments You Can Try At Home (Part 1)

here are five cool experiments you can
try at home part one look what you can
do with a bit of water and an empty
glass bottle if we put this in the
microwave on HIGH power for one minute
and thirty seconds the water starts
vaporizing into steam and of course that
means the bottle is gonna get really
really hot so before we touch it we’ll
need some insulated oven mitts now what
do you think will happen if we turn the
bottle upside down and dip it in a bath
of cold water the water gets sucked up
with a tremendous amount of force which
apparently can fill the bottle in less
than a second this works because steam
takes up a lot more space than water so
when it rapidly contracts inside the
bottle the outside air pressure forces
the water in to fill the void until the
pressure is equalized did you know you
can turn a stack of pennies into a
battery that’ll light LEDs and power a
calculator if we use sandpaper to shave
off one side of the pennies we end up
with by metallic disks that are copper
on one side and zinc on the other try
stacking the pennies 10 high so they’re
all facing the same direction then place
pieces of cardboard soaked in vinegar
between each coin this makes an
improvised six volt battery with just
enough power to light a couple of LEDs
the copper top is the positive the zinc
is the negative and surprisingly three
pennies is all it takes to power a small
calculator like this that’s the power in
your pocket change this slick little
trick is good to know if you’re in
trouble
it might sound weird but there is a way
you can start a fire with your pee pour
some of the yellow liquid into a clear
plastic bag or plastic wrap then collect
the corners together and twist it around
until it bulges out to form a liquid
sphere now you can focus the sunlight
and start burning dark paper or fine
tinder just like you would with a
magnifying glass
nurse the embers into a flame with the
help of some kindling and you’ve just
started a fire with your pee did you
know you can turn a hunk of butter into
a candle start by cutting a block of
butter in half then roll up a bit of
tissue paper to make an improvised wick
push the wick into the butter and light
it and incredibly the butter burns just
like a candle each half gives up to four
hours of light so try it for yourself
and see if anyone else finds your
experiment enlightening
if you promise to be careful you can
make a mini pyrotechnic display with
some cheap disposable lighters by
hacking into the valve tensioner and
adjusting it counterclockwise two to
three times we can get it to shoot a
flame up to 12 inches long it’s a micro
handheld flamethrower that shoots clean
burning gas just don’t run it for very
long or it might catch the casing on
fire and blow up you can also try
wrapping the spring around the Flint to
make a tiny Flint bomb hold it in an
open flame until it starts glowing red
hot then throw it on the concrete far
away from anything that can catch on
fire well there are five cool
experiments you can try at home just
make sure to use common sense and try
not to get anyone hurt in the process
that’s it for now if you like these
experiments perhaps you like some of my
others check them out at the king of
random calm I saved the best project for
