Olive Oil vs GAS TORCH – Stand Clear- this one blew up!



I’m still kicking around a proper, descriptive name for this series….

The test tube fail concept is pretty simple but demonstrates some complex scenarios.
What happens to “x” when superheated inside a small pressure vessel and put under hundreds of pounds of pressure?

This episode we put olive oil in a Pyrex test tube, seal it and heat it with a blow torch.

Common sense dictates that this is dangerous. Although this is a “small-scale” test, it is dangerous to some degree. We are not trying to make a bomb, but a pressure vessel with a controlled-release of pressure to demonstrate pressure/temperature relationships.

-Keep suggesting! Even if you posted an idea on the last video, re-post the idea here as I will probably scan these comments for the next idea! It is very hard to keep track of the ideas, so that will help me.

(Sorry if I missed anyone!)
