  • Chief Scientist Carl Nelson demonstrates the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide using a catalyst. The addition of detergent and food coloring captures some of the oxygen gas generated in a colorful ball of foam.

      @Venaticc Před 6 měsíci

      I'm not sure, but at least in Sweden(ik maybe not the country you want to hear from in this matter) you need a licence for a catalyst that strong. Highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide can probably be bought from some sketchy website.

      high concentrations of oxygen can combust if you have fire around. it's pretty explosive. like that's a risk of astronauts in space stations because the air we breathe is only what 20 somethign percent oxygen. on space stations (american ones manly it think) its like 80% lol

    • @ImaginationStationOH
      @ImaginationStationOH  Před rokem +1

      Hi David, that would be impressive if it were possible.The bubbles are filled with oxygen, but there is no fuel to combust. If you insert a burning object it will initially combust more rapidly from the extra oxygen. But, the bubbles burst pretty rapidly and then there is not a lot of extra oxygen around.
