For this video, I'll be exploring some of the science behind hypergolic liquid propelled rockets. As a fuel, I used aniline, and as an oxidizer, I used nitric acid that I made in a previous video. WARNING: what I do in this video is extremely dangerous. Please don't try doing this yourself.

Hello, I work at a company called AstroTech here outside the Kennedy Space Center where I regularly handle hypergolic propellants, mainly Dinitrogen Tetroxide and UDMH. My main job is as a Hypergolic Technician, we fuel satellites preparing for launch. I do not know your credentials and connections, but I do not suggest making any video with hydrazine unless you are wearing a full SCAPE suit with the proper training and other safety measures and equipment on hand. As I’m sure you know propellants like hydrazine can cause incredible health problems including cancer after being exposed to as little at 3.5PPM. I’d love to see you experiment with these chemicals but please be safe, these are some of the nastiest chemicals out there, which is why I love working with them!

"Test tube liquid rocket" is the code word for extreme molotov.

I love how the second test just had a short “Woo!” as its sound.
