**Reuploaded because I used a clip of BBC footage in the intro and it was automatically flagged by the system and demonetized.

*At the 5min mark, I say 1.5g phenanthroline monohydrate, but 5g is written. It is indeed 1.5g though.

About a year ago, I saw one of the weirdest reactions that I've ever seen. It was called the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction, and it's one of the few good examples of an oscillating chemical reaction. I decided to try and do it myself, and this video summarizes the process that I used.

    i don’t know why him saying “dirty garden store quality” sounded so aggressive to me
  • @emanuell2911
    I like how the waves don't seem to cancel each other when they overlap. They turn into each other. I'd like to see it pushed through a double slit and measure the interference it creates.

    I remember when I was younger, I thought this is what science class would be like.
  • @pastrami4000
    Me, having close to zero clue what he’s talking about: I like your funny words magic man.
  • @Grak70
    I voluntarily chose to do a complete reaction model project on this in my college Pchem class and it was hell on earth.
  • @user-pm5jj4ui9h
    Your narration is awesome. I’ve been a chemist for over 20 years. I now read experimental sections of papers mentally hearing your voice and it is lot more fun than in the past when I mainly heard my voice saying ‘what the @&$ is this guy doing?’ Love what you’re doing.

    This man is the physical embodiment of the word "however"

    A reaction so weird you made it your profile picture
  • The last reaction was by far, the coolest. The blue flashes were so dang beautiful. this is probably my favorite chemical reaction, in terms of visual effects
  • @limemobber
    Niles buys so much off Ebay that I wonder if there is a whole grey market of chemists stealing bits of chemicals from work to sell.

    FBI: Why are you getting weird chemicals from the internet? NileRed: I wanted to see blue rings
  • @marrobins2730
    I love it that you explain everything really clearly, making it so even I can /kind of/ understand, instead of just letting it happen. Thank you s2
  • @SilentDecode
    I understand litterally NOTHING when you explain how it works, but it's just interesting enough to watch! Your normal videos aswell as the clips, are fasinating!
  • @tfunkman
    When he said "about 10 grams for 40 dollars." I felt that.
  • @Kitsudote
    This reaction is so amazing, that even the "bad" ones are still stunning.
  • @annesophieg-n
    i’m so happy you kept all your tries in, all the different effects are amazing!!
