in this video we’re gonna take a look at
a cool trick using dry ice and bubbles
then we’ll try and use the same
principles and see if we can’t make
bubbles that are full of colored smoke
[Music]
I’ve seen dry ice vapor being used to
fill bubbles before and it makes us sort
of milky white not quite see-through
bubble that when it pops it just
releases a bunch of carbon dioxide gas
and looks really cool steve Spangler had
a video where he showed how he did that
I wanted to try using the same basic set
up the heated and see if we can recreate
his results then I want to see if we can
use similar techniques to use the smoke
from a smoke ball to make colored
bubbles not just the white that we’ll
get with the carbon dioxide but I want
to see if we can really get some like
rainbow bubbles going on that should be
pretty fun here’s the basic idea
dry ice in a container some water will
cause vapors to travel down the tube
through our nozzle into our bubble soap
hopefully making bubbles that are full
of dry ice vapors will then try a couple
different methods to get smoke from a
smoke bomb to fill bubbles the same way
we’ve got a little plastic container
with a lid on it this lid if you don’t
put the handle down does a very nice job
of popping on and off with no pressure
at all and that’s what we want for
anything that’s gonna have dry ice in it
we are gonna have a hose running out
that will relieve some pressure but it
is dry ice we don’t want it sealed in a
container with a lid that doesn’t clog
our hose is seven sixteenths inch hose
and we’re gonna try drilling a hole into
the side of our container just very
slightly smaller than that so when we
put the hose in there we’ll just kind of
keep itself wedged in place
[Music]
this container doesn’t drill super well
I’m just gonna patch that up
try again a little bit slower on the
other side let’s try this again
hopefully hopefully it doesn’t just keep
cracking we’ll just end up with an
entire box made of electrical tape with
a hole punched into it okay this style
drill bit seems to cut into the plastic
much more easily of course that’s not
quite the right size so now we’re gonna
try and widen it just a little bit
[Music]
that is working great hose is attached I
can pull it out if I really try but it
does seem to stay in fairly nicely
second time’s the charm I’ve got this
little plumbing extension piece it’s
designed for switching from us type of
hose to something that threads on we’re
just gonna use this as our bubble nozzle
so we’ll fit this onto our hose and now
we can dip this into our bubble fluid
and hopefully bubble should come out
got a couple kinds of bubble fluid we’re
going to test out this is just some
water with some soap mixed into it and
then I’ve got actual bubble fluid and
I’m just gonna try both of these see
what kinds of results I get let’s that’s
yes probably not too surprisingly real
bubble soap gives us better bubbles than
trying to mix up our own version there
are some really good recipes for DIY
bubble soap but I do think it’s pretty
easy to use the pre-made stuff it’s not
expensive
we’ve got our container here’s a pitcher
full of warm water now we’re gonna take
a piece of dry ice drop it into our
container put the lid on but not seal it
so it still comes off nice and easily
not closed down which makes it grip
really hard vapor coming out the nozzle
just like we like take the lid off and
that stops and into the bubbles and that
works really well
[Music]
he’s great because the nozzle has
threads on it I think it does a good job
of holding bubble soap for a while so we
get a good amount of bubbles out of this
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
my figure is covered with soap
so I’m actually hitting the bubbles but
[Music]
oh that’s that’s good to get that this
little contraption is easy to throw
together and it works quite well the dry
ice paper is starting to slow down now
because our water has cooled down
considerably but while it was still nice
and hot we were pumping out bubbles
really nice and quick it’s really fun to
watch them drop they’re they’re like
translucent but you can’t actually see
through them there’s just light coming
through and you know if you’ve got a
nice cotton surface these do a really
good job of letting the bubbles be
preserved for a second to not popping
immediately or if you cover your hand in
soap then usually you can touch the
bubbles a little bit like that as well
now we want to see if we can create a
similar effect using colored smoke so
we’ll try and light these off and see if
we can get them to fill a bubble the
same way the dry ice paper does so my
first thought is that we can maybe just
take one of these little smoke balls put
it in a sealed container with a small
hole and the pressure that builds from
the smoke coming out might be enough to
just blow air powerfully enough to blow
a bubble on its own let’s build a little
container that will hold these and then
drill a hole into it and see if that’s
true
to make our little impromptu smoke
pressure chamber I’ve just got this
little piece of PVC the smoke ball fits
right inside and then I’ve got a couple
of pieces of wood that I can just tape
one to the bottom and tape one is sort
of a hinge on the top that way I can
light the smoke ball drop it in and hold
this down and that should give us a
decent seal we can see if enough smoke
there we go that won’t be a 100% perfect
seal but I think it’s gonna be good
enough that we can see if this concept
is gonna work if it builds up enough
pressure that it can blow the smoke out
in one direction hopefully that will be
enough to blow some bubbles full of
smoke
to help direct the smoke flow I am gonna
drill a small hole the same way we did
on the big one and attach a small piece
of tubing to it
here’s our little contraption so the
plan we light the smoke ball drop it in
throw the lid down on and see how much
smoke we get out of here it’s quite a
bit of smoke good amount of color coming
out the question is whether or not that
has enough pressure to blow any bubbles
this bubble one has several different
bubble holes I’m gonna try for this one
right here because it seems like a good
well my timing wasn’t great but that
still seemed like it just popped the
bubbles like immediately try this again
I think I can time this better it’s not
really blowing the bubble soap at all so
I think we’re gonna have to come up with
a different method to do this a lot of
smoke does come out the nozzle but for
whatever reason it’s not really blowing
anything at the bubbles I didn’t even
see the bubble soap start to move and
most of the time it just popped it
immediately so let’s move on to design
number two since this isn’t putting out
very much pressure I want to try
something else where I build a device
fill it with smoke and then use my own
lungs to blow air in and have that
travel through the container and out the
other side cut my piece of PVC pipe and
I’ve got two round pieces of thin
plywood and I think I’m gonna make those
into the top and bottom so I’ll tape one
on so it’s completely sealed on and the
other one I’ll add sort of a hinge so I
can just open it
drop the smoke ball in close to begin
this tape here is just a sort of work as
an improv gasket it’s not as good as a
real gasket or even a proto putty seal
but we don’t need this to be 100%
airtight we just need to contain most of
the smoke that’s our goal okay that’s
looking good now let’s drill the hole
[Music]
perfect now we need to drill the hole
for the front piece of PVC this spade
bit is gonna make a hole that’s just a
little bit too large so after we put our
piece of PVC and we’re gonna have to
and I blow into this tube it goes down
into the chamber up through the chamber
and out through the nozzle so before we
add any smoke let’s see if this is gonna
work for blowing bubbles just take our
bubble wand and see what we can do
[Music]
we are getting bubbles when we blow into
the tube and hold bubble on in front of
the nozzle I think it’s time to add some
smoke ha ha that’s a bubble full of
smoke
[Music]
ah look at those bubbles now I’m just
gonna keep doing this over and over till
I run out of smoke balls I’m pretty sure
that some of the smoke powder that comes
off actually causes the bulbous to
rupture you have to get just the right
amount if you wait too long then there’s
really not going to be much color left
but if you do it too soon
the chemicals seem to just destroy the
soap bubbles which is a problem I’ve had
that’s the look
start
I don’t feel so good dry ice bubbles
work really well and smoke bomb bubbles
work pretty well not quite as uniformly
or smoothly as the dry ice but we did
get a lot of really good results that’s
something that I really want to take to
another level I want to see if we can
suit that up I’m thinking maybe a device
that will automatically blow six
different colors of smoke at once so we
can just sort of have a rainbow cascade
of different smoke filled bubbles
falling down that might be a video you
want to look for in the future guys
we’ve got more for you to see that box
up at the top will take you directly to
our last video you should go check that
out the box at the bottom will show you
what YouTube thinks you should be
watching next if you hit this bomb in
the middle you’ll be subscribed to the
channel so you never miss out on the fun
don’t forget to ring that Bell and we’ll
see you the next one talk to you then [Music]
