"Olive Oil"
Hello everyone! This is Jeff of TAOFLEDERMAUS
we're going to put olive oil in a glass TEST TUBE and seal it with an epoxy pluge.
Then, heat it with a blow torch until something fails.

Several viewers suggested that we put olive oil
or cooking oil in a test tube and heat it up to see what happens.
I thought it was a great idea.
Let's see what kinda reaction you can get out of this thing.
Olive oil is made from
the whole olive. It is pressed and the oil is extracted
It is used for food - cosmetics - soaps
pharmaceuticals - and even the
traditional oil lamp uses olive oil
From the time I start heating this until the end
is a little over three minutes in length.
This clip is sped up about sixteen times
you can see the oil expanding greatly but also make a unusual
color change from that greenish yellow to a clear
to a dark brown
ooooooh oooooooooh oooooooooooh
SO FAR, with these tests, the epoxy plug has been the weak point.
Acting somewhat like a pressure relief valve and
being in the "failure point"
it does allow us to see what happens as the intense pressures inside are slowly
relieved
and the fluid starts to flash
once the pressure is completely relieved and the plug blows out.
I hope you found this interesting, Thank you for watching
Keep there on the suggestions out there
