This is so awesome! Starting with the first experiment, I never thought that a gas, especially as simple as sulfur hexofluoride could be so much heavier than oxygen that something can float on it when it is in its original form! The foil boat was so cool when it "floated" on the sulfur hexofluoride! I also loved when Ellen had to sink it by scooping it up and pouring it in the boat, just like water. It also shows you how heavy the gas is because if you did the experiment with water, it might not go down as easily as with the sulfur hexofluoride. It is a really cool concept. I also loved how he explains what he is doing and the science around it, other than just saying, "This is a gas that makes your voice lower because it is denser and heavier than oxygen." The experiment with hydrogen peroxide was also really cool because I never realized that a household item, or at least the same substance but stronger, could have an effect like that when mixed with another substance. Seeing the oxygen spurt up and make multicolored foam was definitely the highlight of my day, along with the funny voices. The last experiment with balloons wasn't the most interesting, in my opinion, (the sulfur hexofluoride was much more interesting to me) but I still liked the experiment. It's pretty cool that hydrogen and oxygen, both in their natural forms, can have such different reactions to something like fire. I think it was cool that the oxygen does nothing, which was definitely expected (because otherwise we couldn't light a fire without exploding our houses!), and that the hydrogen actually explodes in a little circle of fire, just like you would imagine in a fantasy movie. These experiments were all so cool to me, and I can hardly get over it! I really hope that there will be another post like this (hint hint)!!!!! I give it an A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was cool and funny. The second experiment I did at a camp called Astrocamp. I got to burn the hydrogen balloon, seeing it burn up. The foam experiment was AWESOME. It was so cool how much oxygen was in the jars. The sulfur hexafluoride was so cool because the aluminum foil actually floated on it. That is amazing. Almost like a transparent floating mechanism. We could use this for transportation. We would have huge jars of that hexafluoride and that would help trains or cars float. All in all, this was AWESOME and deserves an A+ (+ times infinity.)
This was probably the coolest video ever. I thought that the funniest part was when Ellen breathed in the sulfer hexofluoride and her voice got lower. My favorite was the second experiment because the foam just poofed up! I will continue...
That guy was amazing!!! I thought the best trick was either the gas trick or the balloon trick. I thought they were all pretty awesome. I thought it looked safe, but I wasn't there so I can't jump to conclusions.
That was awesome! I didn't know that the gas sulfur hexofluoride was heavier than oxygen. It would be awesome if people could drink that and float, but first knowing that it would be safe. I think it is funny how the gas makes your voice lower because it is denser than oxygen. I also liked the popping balloon experiment, but my favorite was the foam one. I agree with Mila that the foam experiment somewhat reminded me of the old foamy lab, but to a much more intense level. Overall, I think that this video was amazing, and I, like everyone else, give it an A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ (imagine a hundred more pluses.)
Wow! This is so cool! The first experiment was really interesting because I never knew that there are gases that can't be smelled or seen, but are heavier than oxygen, such as sulfur hexofluoride. It was awesome to see that science is always fun and this can be a science project, like when the coat floated on the gas, making it seem like it was floating in mid air. It was funny to hear Ellen's voice became lower when she breathed in the gas. Since helium has the same effect when breathed in, but makes your voice higher, I wonder if your lungs take in the two gases a different way, because sulfur hexofluoride is heavy and helium is very light. It was also really cool to see the "flammable" looking ases when inside the balloon. I love this video!
This was a really amazing video! I really liked the gas experiment. I didn't know that there was a gas exactly like oxygen but heavier. It was really cool when the boat floated in the tank and when Ellen made her voice really deep by drinking the sulfur hexofluoride. The hydrogen peroxide experiment also reminded me of Old Foamy, even before they added the catalyst. I agree with Sabina, though, it was MUCH more intense. Still, it was my favorite experiment and I thought it was really cool that a bunch of different colors came out. It must have been really hard to clean up that experiment! The balloon-popping one wasn't that interesting, but there was a pretty loud bang at the end. It was probably even louder for the people watching it in real life. I wonder if there is a connection with the voices and the burning. I wonder what happens if you burn a balloon filled with sulfur hexofluoride. I also agree with Eva. I liked that he explained all the science and didn't just say, "This is a really heavy gas that makes stuff float and makes your voice deeper. These are a bunch of chemicals and then there's going to be an awesome chemical reaction once they're mixed. When I pop a hydrogen balloon with fire, it is more flammable than oxygen." Overall, I give this video an A++++++++.
This video was pretty amazing because when you think of gas you either think of deadly, explosion, or just plain air. It was pretty cool when the foil floated on the gas and when he put the taser in it stopped the shock. It was also cool when she breathed in the gas and her voice got deeper. And who ever thought that oxygen and hydrogen would explode like that. This article had a lot of info so I give it an A for that reason.
Continuing my comment, my favorite experiment was the hydrogen peroxide experiment. When Ellen and Steve poured in the catalyst, it literally exploded into a wall of gas. When Ellen breathed in the sulfer hexofluoride her voice got lower. I also thought it was very interesting to see how the gas had more weight than oxygen and the bat could float. I also though that she could sink the boat with the gas itself. I would never think that was even possible. I actually hated the balloon experiment because of the noise, but the fact that hydrogen and oxygen by itself only exploded a little and together it exploded alot. A++++++
This was really cool. While I know that some gases are combustible, I never knew that hydrogen and oxygen would explode like that. I also liked the hydrogen peroxide experiment. Did anyone notice that the foam looked like cotton candy or something? Anyway, I use hydrogen peroxide at home, for my contacts, so it was interesting seeing how it turned into foam. The fist experiment was cool too, but I don't know how it happened. Was it weight or density? So if someone could explain that, I would be very grateful. Anyway, it was an amazing video and I give it an A++++. Thank you, Bryan!
This was just too cool. All of the experiments were just great.
1st: Oh my gosh! This was awesome especially because seemed as if she was doing a comedy routine by scooping up air. It was so cool how the special gas that Steve Spangler was using was so much heavier than Oxygen that it just sunk. I think it was really cool how you could just scoop up gas and it would stay in whatever you scooped it up in. We can probably say that the funniest part was when Steve Spangler had Ellen "drink" some of the gas and her voice changed dramatically.
2nd: This was a short, but cool experiment. It seemed quite simple, you would mix soap with something else, use a catalyst, and the effect would be bubbles. But, these bubble shot up like 15 feet (or something like that)! This was really cool to m especially because soap seems like something so watery and "weak" in a sense, and seeing it basically explode, made me realize that certain chemicals can be really strong if you mix them with other chemicals.
3rd: At first, I honestly didn't know what Steve Spangler was going for. The experiment was happening to quickly, so I wasn't sure what the audience was going crazy for about. Later, I saw that there was actually a mini explosion when he pooped the ballon with a flame. This is really cool, but no I know that balloons are quite flammable.
Overall, I thought this was an awesome video and I would like to see more science by Steve Spangler.
I thought this video wasn't particularly educational or filled with facts, but it was fun to watch. The one thing that interested me a lot was the gas and aluminum boat thing. I just thought that it was cool that a gas could support something and make your voice lower.
That was the coolest video ever!! :) :) :) I thought it was so cool that the foil boat floated on air (actually sulfur hexofluoride). I also thought it was really weird when Ellen scooped up some of the gas and making the boat sink because she looked like she was scooping up nothing. Also, when Ellen drank some of the sulfur hexofluoride and her voice got lower and then she started singing! :D The experiment with the hydrogen peroxide was definitely my favorite. I think it was so cool when the oxygen spurted up like 10,000 miles (okay, I'm exaggerating) and, like Mila said, it reminded me of the Old Foamy lab we did in Room 5. It is essentially the same thing, just a LOT LOT LOT LOT LOT bigger. The ballon experiment was pretty cool, but nowhere near as cool as the first two in my opinion. I wonder why Steve Spangler only used the lighter on the oxygen but a torch on the rest? Hmmm . . .
I would give this video an A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ x 999,999,999,999,999,999 . . . if that grade really existed. :)
Wow! This is so cool! I really liked it when Ellen breathed in the sulfur hexofluoride and her voice got really deep. I also really liked the foam experiment! Like Mila said, it reminded me of the old foamy experiment that we did in room 5! Overall I give this an A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Not only is this video filled with educational factors, it is absolutely hilarious. I mean, Ellen doing science! I found the hydrogen peroxide foam blasting experiment amazing. Literally all I wanted to do was touch that foam and do the experiment. I also found the hydrogen and oxygen ballon experiment fascinating. I really wanted to breath in the gas that was in the tank and see what my voice would sound like. By far my most favorite video on the blog yet! I would absolutely positively adore to do some experiments like this in class. If I could, I would watch this video 12 times over! Thanks Bryan for the great post! I give it an A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++etc..
This video was so cool. I though that Steve Spangler was amazing and I want to see more of his videos. THe coolest experiment was the gas experiment how that gas could change your voice and that it could sink an aluminum boat. I also liked the foam experiment I agree with Mila that is was like Old Foamy in room 5
Well about the first experiment: it was amazing how this gas was floating a tinfoil boat. And then.... it sank it!!! Wow just wow! Sometimes when I think about these things, I wonder if somehow there are fans or something that make the boat float up and when it is sinking they turn it down and then off. And when the voice changed, it could have been a recording, but who knows?
The second experiment was incredible: Like other people said, it is amazing to see and know how the two simplest chemicals (well actually they are not that simple) can make such a big reaction! I mean, I know it is just foam, but like Izzy said, it shot up really high!
And for the last experiment: It really wasn't that much to me... Well ya, he proved that different gases and chemicals can be flammable, but really it is basically burning a balloon.... and think about, all of the balloons were different colors. It could have been different plastics that was surrounding the oxygen/hydrogen that made some of them flammable... and the only cool thing about this experiment to me was that when it mixed oxygen and hydrogen together it made a big explosion because I would think that since the oxgen balloon didn't light on fire, it would have been a smaller fire because the oxygen would make the hydrogen less flammable. But, then again, it could have been different types of plastics.... Overall this video was pretty good even though it was kinda short... But I liked the cool experiments :)!
This is amazing. I thought that was amazing on how the hexofloride was so heavy that it actually sunk and held up the aluminum boat. It's amazing that it is heavier than oxygen itself. Sucking up of the sulfur hexofloride and talking was really funny, especially the expression she made as she noticed how deep her voice was. The foam was amazingly cool as well. It was amazing when the chemical reaction happened as soon as they dropped in the catalist and the foam shot up out of the tube thing. It was great watching the oxygen not catch on fire and then watching the hydrogen one catch on fire when the lighter got near. Hydrogen and oxygen made a huge collision and then made a huge sound when it touched the lighter. Then last but not least, all of the balloons popped and made the biggest explosion of all when the lighter touched.
Jeez girls one plus would be fine... I think that the experiments were really cool, and the only fascinating part to me was how dense the sulfur hexafluoride was and how that tinfoil boat floated on top of the gas. The sulfur gas must have been really really dense for them to float a tinfoil boat on top of it and to scoop it up in a beaker. Since the gas is really dense, does that also mean that it is really heavy? I can't imagine a gas that is tough to pick up and hold. The foamy experiment was pretty cool, and the balloon experiment at the end wasn't too interesting.
This was awesome! All the things it showed were really cool! I loved how you could float and sink the boat with sulfur hexofluoride as if it was water. I also thought it was really funny when he made his voice sound weird. Overall, It was funny and very interesting. I give it an A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I personally knew all the wonders of the magical sulfur hexafloride (from mythbusters) so that wasn't a big suprise. But I was curious about the peroxide blast. So the patasium was used as a catalast to change the liquid into a foam. Now my scientific brain wondered how dense was the foam and if it would be harmful if a human came in contact with the foam also it couldn't be the density of bubble soap because that foam just right down while bubble soap floats down. The other part of my brain just wanted to swim in it. But the big question was for me was the balloons. So with oxygen it does nothing right? Then the hydrogen you get small fireball. But when you combine the two you get a titanic fireball? I mean the oxygen did nothing and it depends on the amount of oxygen you put there so if say you had equal parts wouldn't you get the same reaction as the hydrogen alone? Either way this articule was funny, interesting, and gave me the urge to swim in foam.
I thought that was extremely interesting. My favorite experiment was the sulfur hexofluoride, and how it does the opposite of helium and makes your voice deeper. I thought that the foam experiment was pretty cool when foam just shot out of the large flasks in al sorts of colors. I thought it was very cool when the balloons exploded when it touched the fire. I think this is a very interesting video.
That was interesting. The one where Ellen breathed in the gas and her voice became low was funny. It was great how that video was cool, funny, and educational. It would have been cool if that would have been posted during Halloween. And unlike everyone did, I'll just give the A one +.
I think that this video was really cool! I never would've thought that a gas could be released into the air without "floating" away. I think that, that experiment was really cool, especially the part where the foil boat was floating on the surface of the gas and Ellen scooped up the gas with a water pitcher and had to then, sink the boat. Speaking of water, would it be possible for water to float on this gas as well? I also liked the foam experiment because it reminded me a lot of the old foamy one that we did in room 5, but at a larger scale. I think that this one was really cool because you saw how high up it went, and it went VERY high up. The balloon one was really interesting too because they made noises, louder than normal balloon popping noises.

This was so cool! I liked the gas trick the best. BUt is it safe. I was wondering if you could get sick from breathing it in.
