This was embargoed before publication. Research started on the Thunderf00t channel leads to explanation of the Alkali metal/ water explosion! http://www.nature.com/news/sodium-s-explosive-secrets-revealed-1.16771 http://news.sciencemag.org/chemistry/2015/01/why-popular-chemistry-experiment-blast?rss=1 https://www.sciencenews.org/article/sodium-and-other-alkali-explosions-finally-explained?tgt=nr http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-30983141 I will get a more detailed video up on this in the next day or so :-)

Wow, great work!

Btw... the sciencemag writer seems like an SJW type.

Awesome work Phil! Very happy and proud to support it in the small way I do. Nothing like the feeling of progress baby!

Well done, Phil!

Why was there an embargo on this information? The info seems pretty straight forward

John Horn

Congratulations Phil! :D This is awesome!

Excellent. I feel like I spent my Patreon dollars well.

This is fantastic stuff!

Probably due to the papers and articles being published.

Perhaps the best thing about this discovery is that we can use it to create BIGGER EXPLOSIONS! :)

'Grats. :) I definetly want to hear the story of how you went from playing with sodium, bits of wood and a hammer at home to a research lab and then to first author in a paper in Nature. Did you learn to speak/understand Czech as an extra benefit during the research? Of course this now means Hannibal's *cough* 'chemist friend' will have a problem, and PZ will go have another breakdown.

Currently the top science story on BBC news, massive achievement! I'm tired of those non-science stories which conclude that 'a new study suggest something MIGHT mean something' - this is much more conclusive and awesome :-)

Fantastic! My dollars have been well spent. :)

Good job! I was already wondering how you went from Alkali metals to playing with water droplets... just following the clues about charge it seems. Congratulations.

Super awesome dude! I hope we can see more science related stuff on your YouTube channel!

Hooray! Science, Secularism, and Anti-Feminism. Most of my favorite things. I love your anti-feminist stuff, but I would like it if this kind of stuff at least came around a bit more often. Just to keep things varied.

Excellent work! Video explanation was great :)

Very interesting, nice video and gratz on the publication. And if your reactor is shut down you should visit me at the research reactor in Munich :)

My old chemistry teacher managed to blow a couple of fingers off in front of a class showing this effect. Fizzy is the reason i like chemistry today. He made it fun

This is the most awesome thing ever! Well done to you and all the team, amazing discovery. Even more amazing that it started on Youtube. Have you given any thought to trying to actually detect the electron flow via magnetic coupling? I imagine putting a coil around the jig and seeing what pops out during the explosion?
