Experiment Glowing 1000 Degree Metal Ball VS Cotton Candy

Cotton candy is made of sugar and food dyes (less than 1%). What will happen when we introduce sizzling hot metal ball into the glass filled with cotton candy? Well, it will spit fire! After we throw the ball in, all of the candy melted in seconds. I was under impression that white smoke, formed after sugar melting, was acting as a fuel in this case. It totally looked like those fumes were burning and not sugar, which was on the bottom of the glass. What do you think?

Coca Cola VS Coca Cola Zero Sugar Experiment

In this experiment we are reducing Coca Cola and Coca Cola Zero until all of the water evaporates. Coca Cola (Classic) contains about 10 grams of sugar per 100 grams of mass, while Coca Cola Zero, theoretically (and practically, as we will prove) contains 0% and therefore 0g of sugar. Then why are Coca Cola Zero and Diet Coke sweet if they don't contain any sugar? Well, they contain artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and acesulfame potassium (aka acesulfame K, aka Ace K). Actually, they do contain the same amount of both sweeteners. As they don't contain any sugar, they are both very low on calories. When water evaporated, original Coca Cola was smoking in bluish-grey color, meaning sugar was starting to burn. That's when we stopped boiling it and that is all caramelized sugar starting to burn. As for Coca Cola Zero, all water evaporated leaving very small amount of residue, probably just colors and artificial sweeteners. I hope this video was educational and interesting and made you rethink about your soft-drink consuming habits.

Skittles and Water Experiment - Skittles Rainbow

This is Skittles and water experiment, also known as "Skittles diffusion experiment", "Skittles rainbow experiment" and so on. This experiment is very easy to do at home, with your kids. We did it because we love colorful experiments. :) For this experiment you are going to need one (two, three..?) pack of skittles, one plate and glass of warm water. Arrange Skittles around the plate to your liking and then add warm water. Sit back and enjoy! Skittles are coated in food coloring and sugar. When you pour water over the skittles the colored coating dissolves spreading through the water. The color and sugar dissolve into the water and then diffuse through the water, making it the color of the skittle.

EXPERIMENT Glowing 1000 Degree Metal Ball VS Soap

Beer, caramel and a bar of soap. That's on todays menu. Yeah, beer reacted just as we expected, nevertheless it was crazy and interesting. Very little residue has left inside the glass after boiling. Burning caramels was very interesting - it's always interesting when we burn something containing large amount of sugar. Sugar is crazy interesting as it burns almost like rocket fuel or more like "candy equivalent of rocket fuel". :) Bar of soap is the star of this video. Very interesting reaction. At first, soap starts to burn, melt and boil, but as soon as the ball goes deeper, it loses enough oxygen to stop burning, but still melting and boiling soap bar. Is glowing 1000 degree enough to run this metal ball through soap bar? Well, yes it is. The ball burns all the way through, leaving very artistic shapes of leaking molten soap. After melting it, I left it to cool down and then I broke it in half to release the ball. It was really difficult to break soap bar open. Metal ball was firmly "welded" inside and I couldn't break the soap with my hands.

Acetone and Styrofoam Experiment Explained - Dissolving Polystyrene

In this experiment we dissolve objects made of styrofoam with acetone. It is well known that acetone dissolves polystyrene, material that styrofoam is made of. Polystyrene is made from an organic compound called monomer styrene. Styrofoam dissolves in acetone in a similar way to how sugar dissolves in water. It is a reaction in which air completely leaves styrofoam leaving it to dissolve in acetone and turn into plastic slime at the bottom of the dish. This material is reusable. You can use this slime to mold it and shape it into something useful. It can be used to paint objects, protecting it from rain, snow, moist etc.
