So that's what sponge bob and patrick used to light up their campfire under the ocean it all makes sense now
-
"It's look like a bunch of rocks, but it's actually quite dangerous." Literally everything on this channel
-
I finally understand how adele set fire to the rain
-
"which is really flammable." Immediately starts to shoot fire at it.
-
Man if you have a sub-woofer under your desk, this video is scary as hell. I felt it in my stomach
-
I love how the more times he tries to light the beaker on fire he’s always slightly more away from it from fear of being burned to a crisp.
-
The fact that I discovered your channel just two days after my last day in chemistry class hurts so much.
-
it was like: u left me for 4 years, u expect me to be friendly?
-
"Watah in fire, why?!" -some dog, probably.
-
alternative title: lighting water on fire
-
"Here is a bag of calcium carbide i bought four years ago and ....never used" And ....where did you just obtain this, pray tell? 💀💀💀
-
Once, when I was a kid, me and my boys found abandoned pieces of calcium carbide near our houses. These pieces were left by workers that fixed gas tubes nearby. We knew that it was a carbide due to its smell near gas pumps. It was a fantastic day for 10 y/o pyromants :) UPD: Just a classic childhood in postsoviet countries :)
-
We gotta show this to Korone. Water on Fire literally.
-
Nile is slowly turning into a mad chemist while on his other channel he seems like a reasonable person
-
In NL we put this in an old milk can with some water, put a football in the opening that acts as a lid and then light it on fire. We call it carbidschieten.
-
Fun fact: Miners actually used to use this in their lamps when working in mines. (I'm sure there are plenty of another jobs like that, where they were dependent on calcium but historically yes it was used for light often.)
-
Growing up in the early 90s in Ghana we used this as 'cannons' on Christmas. We'd get a bamboo stick, cut a hole at one end and leave an opening at the other. The smaller opening is where the carbide, water and fire source go through whiles the sound comes out the other way. Interesting times. Love your videos mate.

I can hear Korone "WATA IN THE FAIA, WHY"
-
I like the FOOMPH sound the ignition makes, its surprisingly b a s s y.

Assassination Method: Cover your enemy's house with this and when it rains just set it on fire
