  • In this video we chat about war crimes, light some fires and look at a wholesome side of white phosphorus, all while trying not to be poisoned. It helps to limit exposure if you don't smear the poison onto your skin. Subreddit: / explosionsandfire

    Shout out to the Patreon fans whose names are here except for some reason i replaced all the Is with Es and all the Os with Is and it didn't work out quite as cool as I thought it would but i'm sticking with it:

    When my video was nearly done I happened to watch Nile Red's video on WP (I haven't since it first came out) and gosh we make similar points, its basically the same video except his cinematography is better and that i'm hotter. But, pls don't say i cheated ok i try to make unique content but i am not creative it seems
    i miss u all when i'm gone
    i love you

    Well, we somehow made it to 2020 with this video still up! I guess if you brag about being deleted, CZcams wont give you the satisfaction of doing it. Imagine mispronouncing a word to over 1 million people though, oof

    In my 1st year at uni there was a PhD candidate who worked on an experiment that required white phosphorous. Then, in the middle of that he left for an international internship for several months, leaving the phosphorous safely in a glass jar under water in his lab cupboard ... Obviously the water evaporated and the phosphorous got exposed to the air.

    As a chemistry teacher in the 60s, my grandfather once (out of doors, by way of a ramp and a very long string with the class standing around the edge of the rugby field) dropped a piece of white phosphorus into fuming nitric acid. You could do that sort of thing in those days.

    I just got here and while I enjoyed my time my biggest comment is how amazingly professional the demonstrations are. Two bricks and a sheet of glass between the cameras, a tile on top of an old wooden barrier, and an old, rusty axe-head for the ignition panel, and doing nothing but burning a dangerous, self-described "sticky fire" near arid grass.

    In about 1987, I was in a high school chemistry class. During a lab exercise we used filter paper with white phosphorus. My lab partner put the filter paper in the trash can at the end of class which was the last class of the day. Apparently that evening the traces on the filter paper caught fire and luckily the janitor put it out after it burned an entire lab desk and area. The next day we were asked about it and fessed up but we weren't punished.

    WP smoke is uniquely opaque to infrared, which makes it very useful in war.
