Frying a potato chip in Fluorinert FC-40--- make money online

I recently bought some Fluorinert FC-40 on eBay since it is such an intriguing chemical. This fluid is 1.8 times as dense as water, but has almost the same viscosity. It is also very inert, has a boiling point of 160*C, is immiscible with water, and has exceptionally low electrical conductivity. The fluid can dissolve large amounts of gas and was

shown in the movie The Abyss where it allowed a rat (and later a human via special effects!) to breath the oxygenated fluid, by submerging the rat in  a container of Fluorinert and having the rat take the fluid into its lungs.

I decided to fry a potato chip in the fluid to see if I could make a truly fat-free deep-fried chip. The experiment worked very well, however I am not convinced that eating the product would be a good idea. Your thoughts?

hey guys I recently found a relatively

inexpensive source of floor inert on

eBay

it's an unusual fluid that's used in

electronics for cooling circuit boards

that's its main use but this fluid has a

lot of unusual properties that make it

interesting for experiments so let me

tell you about some of the properties

and then show you what I did today

Florin er is a brand name for a

saturated fluorocarbon so you've heard

of hydrocarbons which is basically a

carbon chain that is filled up with

hydrogen atoms so all the positions that

a hydrogen atom can go are all taken on

these on this carbon chain I'm a

fluorocarbon basically means that you

replace all these hydrogen's with

fluorine atoms and in this case it's a

saturated fluorocarbon sometimes called

a per fluorocarbon so meaning that all

the spaces are taken up with fluorine

one possibility is that you could have a

double bond between two of the carbon

atoms and then you wouldn't have spaces

for as many hydrogen's or fluorines this

is an unsaturated either hydrocarbon or

fluorocarbon depending what's on on the

ends of these bond links and the

properties of these are actually quite

different especially for the

fluorocarbons so this is a very inert

liquid and these tend to be quite

reactive so FC for tea or floor inert FC

for tea is a specific kind of

fluorocarbon a saturated fluorocarbon

blend that I think is made by a dowel or

somebody like that and they're a little

proprietary about what is exactly in

here it's a blend of saturated

fluorocarbons probably 8 to 12 carbons

long and they claim that it won't

fraction so that if you boil it yours

it's not supposed to change composition

but anyway so the reason that they use a

blend like that is to is to customize

the boiling point or why something that

you know FC 40 might have a really high

boiling point and one of their other

blends might be a lower boiling point by

changing the the length of the carbon

chains in this molecule so there's a

couple unusual properties to this stuff

one is that it's very dense and has a

very low viscosity so the viscosity is

similar to water but it's almost I think

it's over 1.8 times as dense as water so

you go to pick this thing up it's it's

really heavy I mean if this is just

sitting on a table and you you go to

heft it I mean it's it's 1.8 times

heavier than what you're expecting which

is quite unusual it's also immiscible

with water it has extremely low

solubility in water and vice versa so

that if you you know spill it into

something that's wet or whatever it

really doesn't mix I've got a little

test tube here with a little bit of

flora Noir in here and I'm going to put

some water in let's see what happens so

as you can see it's quite separated and

with shaking you can get some bubbles

that form at the interface here but the

flora nerd I'm sorry there you know the

flora nerd is on the bottom layer and

the waters is up here and even with

shaking you can see it's kind of like an

oil and water type interface there and

it quickly settles out so you may have

heard of foreign art from the movie the

abyss there's a scene in the movie where

a pet rat is held underneath liquid like

held in a cage underneath a vat of

liquid and the scientist who's doing

this is explaining that the liquid can

carry oxygen into the rat's lungs so

this is actually the chemical that they

were talking about it is for inert and

underwater breathing or liquid breathing

is actually a real thing

rats can breathe underwater or it's

under floor inert rather oxygenated

floor inert but they typically don't

live more than a day or two afterwards

so it's not exactly a something you want

to try at home let's just say I don't

think I'm even going to try it on a rat

because it's so that we kind of know

what's going to happen but it is

interesting nonetheless that this fluid

can dissolve enough oxygen such that if

you breathe this into your lungs enough

oxygen will be transferred into your

bloodstream to allow normal respiration

or at least close to normal respiration

basically just like fluid in the womb I

mean it's it's the same system there

although you don't have flora nerd in

wombs as far as I know so I was thinking

of some interesting experiments to do

with this that didn't involve breathing

and I thought well since it has a high

boiling point

and it doesn't interact with water and

doesn't react and it doesn't break down

it might make an interesting frying

fluid so to start I first wanted to do a

control with with normal canola oil so I

set up a beaker on my hot plate and

filled it up with canola oil and then

place the thermal temperature probe in

it and added a stir bar just to keep the

temperatures even as possible and

brought it up to temperature now the to

make this sort of a comparable

comparison I wanted to use the same

temperature for both fluids so the FC 40

boils at about 330 degrees F so I wanted

to keep the temperature well under that

or 320 F I think so I wanted to keep it

well under that for the oil as well so I

cut some potato some potato pieces off

made some very thin chip like things and

dumps them into the hot oil and I was

going to just measure the time it took

to brown it properly and then use the

same time for the floor inert bath so

that all went pretty well and I got a

pretty decent looking potato chip that

was about three hundred three hundred

degrees F after the temperature came

down after I put the chip into the oil

and it cooked for about three minutes

thirty seconds so next up I loaded up

the floor inert into another flask and

also brought it up to temperature and

then put a chip in there and fried it

and surprisingly worked really well it

behaved well there was no you know

reacting or popping or anything like

that the vapour from the floor inert

flask was really easy to deal with at

first I was worried that if it started

to boil it would give off lots of lots

of vapor but the vapor is so heavy that

it stays in the flask and it wasn't

oiling vigorously enough to really you

know you can kind of see where the vapor

was going and it wasn't a large quantity

of it so when I took the chip out of the

floor inert low and behold its it's

crispy it's almost like a baked potato

chip like a baked you know they sell

baked potato chips in the stores

although I don't think they cook them in

Florin art and it's completely fat-free

since there's no

that in the potato begin with or

extremely low amounts and there's no fat

in the floor inert there's no way that

you can gain fat in the cooking process

so it's a totally fat-free potato chip

but it crunches just like a fried potato

chip and it's brown just like a fried

potato chip so this is pretty cool now

if you're wondering if I've eaten one of

these no actually I was a little worried

that the floor nut might decompose and

introduce a substance that I would not

want to eat maybe I get your comments on

this one since I'm not too confident

that eating this thing would be a great

idea okay well I'm sure I'll have lots

of other interesting experiments to do
