Energetic Polymers and PVN - Explosions&Fire

Video Description

In this video we ask why energetic compounds aren't often polymers, and also almonds. We also make some polyvinyl nitrate and compare it to 'the chad of the energetics world'.

Ok so what are descriptions good for? That's right, bonus content. Because if you made it this far, you deserve to be rewarded. And by rewarded I mean... disappointed. This bonus content will help to answer what I perceive as the most important questions you will have after watching this video. Q) How long did you stare in regret at the experiment you ruined? A) A while. https://youtu.be/mAZKj60Xs0Y Q) Hey, so you poured some potassium chlorate into a cardboard tube, some of it ignited but the rest of it did not. A) That's actually more of a comment, but yes, I did blowtorch the ever-living h*ck out of that tube until the chlorate took off, because of s*fety https://youtu.be/-jj_jWbSON0 Q) How much of your free time on a weekend did you spend blow torching an almond that you could have just ate? A) The perfect amount. https://youtu.be/QW5EvbSN-Es I actually bought that bag of almonds specifically to film that shot without any justification and they were more expensive than any of the reagents in this video. They are delicious but they goddamn keep getting stuck in my braces and my only revenge is with a blowtorch (like any rational man).
