The video is a humorous and dramatic experiment where the participants attempt to pop an entire 100 kilograms of popcorn using oil as a heating element. They start by testing their method on a smaller scale, using a gas burner and a metal structure. They find that the popcorn pops rapidly when the oil reaches around 400 degrees Fahrenheit. However, their first attempt fails because they used too little oil, which cooled down too quickly from the popcorn.
In their second attempt, they use a larger structure to evenly distribute the popcorn and pour almost 400 liters of oil into it. They use six gas tanks to heat the oil to a temperature of 451 degrees Fahrenheit. When they release the popcorn, it pops rapidly and starts boiling over, filling the space and leaking. The popcorn inside is described as fresh and tasty, but they recommend adding more salt next time.
Despite the large amount of popcorn and the high oil temperature, the experiment is a success. However, the participants are breathing heavily due to the burned popcorn and the video ends on an emotional note.
1. The video discusses the expansion of popcorn in volume.
2. The experiment involves filling a microwave with popcorn to see if it would explode.
3. The popcorn was initially around 30 grams.
4. The microwave has a magnetron on its right side, which is where the radiation comes from.
5. The experimenters were hoping to observe what would happen if the microwave was filled with popcorn.
6. The microwave did not explode, but the popcorn was burned and turned into a burnt chunk.
7. The reason the microwave did not explode is because it was drying up all the popcorn, removing all the moisture from it.
8. Popcorn is cooked because it's heated and there is liquid inside it, which tries to get out.
9. In the experiment, popcorn was fried because there was no liquid inside it.
10. The popcorn was tested again in a larger scale.
11. The experimenters used oil to heat up the popcorn to a temperature of 450 F, to prevent it from burning.
12. The experimenters built a structure to hold the popcorn and pour it into the oil.
13. The experimenters used a gas burner as a heating element.
14. The experimenters tested their structure in a smaller scale first.
15. The structure was developed by the best engineers of their hangar.
16. The experimenters tied a rope to the structure, which was pulled from a distance to release all the popcorn into the oil.
17. The experimenters used a single popcorn piece as an indicator to determine when the temperature reached 400 F.
18. The experimenters conducted a small test first, which worked.
19. The experimenters conducted the main experiment with 100 kilograms of popcorn.
20. The experimenters used six gas burners to heat up the oil.
21. The experimenters used a cone-shaped structure to pour down popcorn evenly to prevent it from falling to the bottom simultaneously and the oil from cooling down too fast.
22. The experimenters poured almost 400 liters of oil into the structure.
23. The experimenters unplugged the gas tanks for safety because the oil was extremely flammable.
24. The experiment began and the popcorn started to boil really fast, popping and rising, and started to go beyond the edges of the tub.
25. The experimenters saved the popcorn in one spot to see how much pure popcorn without oil they had.
26. The experimenters put the popcorn away to see if some more of it would pop.
27. The experiment ended with a lot of unpopped popcorn.
28. The video concludes with everyone crying due to the lots of smoke generated by the experiment.
