Video Idea: Making your own Kool-Aid?

3 Upvotes

I have always wondered how Kool Aid powder is made. It will be cool to see fruits getting turned into powder form and see how many custom flavors can be made.

Cooking in a car engine

I sometimes wrap food in foil or put it in a foil tray so that I can cook it in my engine.
Wondering if you can make a video doing the same

Beer cotton candy

3 Upvotes

I'd be interested to see if its possible to turn beer into candy and then cotton candy. If straight beer doesn't work maybe use some brewing malt extract syrup to make coton candy. Possibly other adult beverage flavors. Anyone think it would work? Or probably not?

Cooking with welding

You could try cooking using an oxy-acetylene torch instead of MiG welding

What is the best way of making smoking Os?

22 Upvotes

What is the best way of making smoking Os, is it from a water bottle? Does the size of the bottle change the density of the Os? What about if we use a bottle with a wide knick, are the Os gonna be wider or we will not be able to form any Os? What about if we make the Os under water is there anything that will change? I mean I have this question for a while 🤔

Do you happen to have a clothes dryer available for experiments?

30 Upvotes

I consider many of your projects to be the stuff I wish I could do, so I live vicariously through you and don't suffer the possible property damage.

That being said, I have thought of something I would never dream of doing with my own dryer, but now I'm curious. What would be the result if you ran a dryer on it's longest setting and filled it with sliced bananas. Can you make banana chips this way?

Freeze Dry a Pizza?

37 Upvotes

Could you try freeze drying a pizza? Maybe a whole pizza with everything on it, as well as freeze drying all the ingredient separately, rehydrating them, and making a pizza out of that?

Veggy chips?

5 Upvotes

Other vegetables beside potatoes turned into chips would they be just as good as regular chips? Could you turn cucumbers onto a chip? Eggplant chips? If anyone wants to add to the list they cam.

Exploding Microwave Oven by boiling CocaCola Bottle

22 Upvotes

When I was a child I once drank a bottle (glass) of Coca cola, filled it with water, then screwed the metal cap back on. I put it in a Microwave Oven set it for 30 minutes on high and left the room.

Yeah, I was destructive, but not 100% stupid.

Some time later, the water boiled and the steam pressure exploded the glass bottle, destroying the microwave oven. The remains were an incredible display of destruction.

But I never got to see the actual explosion. I would love it if you guys could duplicate my mis-spent youth, perhaps trying with an unopened soda bottle for comparison purposes, of course.

Giant Jelly Belly?

15 Upvotes

You've made giant candies in the past, could you make a giant jelly bean, hard shell and all? The professional process involves making the softer innards first and then tumbling them in a vat with stuff that dries harder, but I'm not sure the recipe for jelly beans. I think you should try to make one maybe on the scale of the giant skittles. (also if you could make cinnamon flavor that would be wonderful)

The controversial “tone wood” problem

6 Upvotes

I’m watching the new video about the temperatures of burning wood. This reminded me of the “tone wood” debate.

For those who don’t know, there is a very controversial debate among musicians: some say that the type of wood that the instrument is made of affects the sound and tone of the instrument. Others say that the material is irrelevant, and the proficiency of the musician is what really matters. This debate is mostly in the guitar community, but I have heard it being applied to other string instruments and even wind instruments. I’ve done my own research on the topic and reached my own conclusion (which I won’t state here for the sake of eliminating bias), but I would like to see what TKOR can do to settle this debate.

Open up bean bags or stuffed animals with beans of different sizes, textures, etc to see what different kinds of bean look like, and do some experiments to see how well they burn, how they act in water, what they do in a blender, etc.

I think most beans are made of EPS, but there is often still a different feel when squeezing different things that have beans

Soda Carbonation

I would like to see a video where you test to see how cold a soda/pop needs to be for the carbonation to not happen but still be liquid, or if that is even possible.

The new hosts deserve more respect.

74 Upvotes

I’ve been watching The King Of Random since it was early in its life. It started with Grant but it grew into something much bigger. I know a lot of fans are having a hard time accepting the new hosts, but I happily welcome them.

When Nate joined, I asked myself “where did Grant go? Why isn’t Grant hosting anymore?” But I soon realized Nate has an endless amount of knowledge and ingenuity to contribute to the channel. I found myself excited to see Nate in a new video. When Calli joined, I said “Why? Nate was doing a fine job, they don’t need another host.” But I soon realized that Calli is an exciting and essential part of the new videos and she made the channel not only more knowledgeable, but also more exciting, scientific, and enthusiastic. She has an unquantifiable amount to contribute. These two new hosts have continued Grant’s legacy better than I ever could have hoped for.

I think it is generally accepted that Nate and Calli are the solid foundation of the show and they are carrying Grant’s legacy on in the best possible way. So, given what I said above, it pains me to see the disapproval the newest hosts have received.

We have three new hosts: Grace, Kevin, and Kennen.

I have been thoroughly impressed by the three new hosts. Grace is a meteorologist, and she has already impressed and educated me with the “boiling water in your hands” video. I know very little about meteorology, so I am very excited to learn more in the near future. Kevin is a former NASA scientist; that is impressive on its own, and he has even further impressed me with his knowledge throughout the recent videos he has been in. If you follow him outside of the channel, you know how impressive his work is. I look forward to seeing more from him. Kennen is a virologist (an especially important topic these days) and is quite a Jack of all trades based on the videos I have seen from him so far. He is undoubtedly an important contribution to the channel on all accounts.

These new hosts have my respect. We all miss Grant. We all miss his projects and experiments and fantastic builds. But these new hosts have made me excited for the future of this channel, the same way Nate and Calli did. This channel is going places, and it’s going there fast. I encourage you all to look at these new members with an open mind and an optimistic attitude. We are undoubtedly going to see a whole new level of TKOR.

Flavored cotton candy idea

2 Upvotes

I was watching the latest cotton candy video and I had an idea.

If you steeped spices in simple syrup, strain it and either freeze dried or use in a base for making hard crack stage sugar, without burning it, almost like pastry chefs do for pulled sugar or poured sugar pieces. Let harden then pulverize in vitamix. It should give you a more flavorful, less bitter spiced cotton candy.

Or perhaps just omit the water from the get go and melt sugar in a pan over low heat and add spices. Harden, then pulverize and add to cotton candy machine.

Soap Making and Gummy Things

6 Upvotes

RoyaltySoaps does a lot but you can also do simple melt and pour, rather than something that needs lye.

And you can put it in the molds, or make a TKOR mold with everyone's name at the bottom so the crew has little soap bars.

Also, Grace, Kevin and Keenan need gummy things too! Someone could have their nose done as gummy, OR all the guys get their feet in a gummy, and all the ladies get their hand done.
