What was the distance your team was away from the detonation? Was there a metal roof on top ?

Now you got to convert this project into an explosive water cannon 5,000,000. Make it vertical, and put stuff on top of the opening. Can you imagine the height some stuff would get too!

@@johnchung6900 about 400 meters and we were under heavy duty farm equipment. The large pieces (the whole sides of the box) can't fly that far with these amounts of explosives and small parts (fragments from the welds) are easily stopped by the heavy duty machinery.

SUCH A COOL VIDEO!

"We been really lucky we didn't loose any cameras!!!!!" Um you forgot to add OR PEOPLE!!!!!! F me the speed that side panel shot past the camera you would have needed to be behind something more than a little substantial not to get taken out by it. Damn that had some force behind it. This has to be one of the most interesting videos to watch that you have made so far, just for that couple of seconds of footage as the panel went past. I can't wait to see what you come up with next. :)

So we should use a max. of 999g then !

Hehehe😂

@@casemodder89 Yes, that way it will be safe! /s

Yeah, but just barely.

Are you suure🤔

And fly right past the expensive cameras. 😃

It's vibranium

The deadliest gong

That's my fetish too. We should skype

It's definitely something I have never seen in action. I've heard it but not 2inch thick steel lol

I don't think it would had broke if the box was formed entirely as a single piece..

The welds broke because it was the area of least resistance because the center area of the plate isnt fused to steel

2 inch 50mm

Would be a great addition to your resume. Potential employer: So, what sort of welding experience do you have? You: **shows welds can take 4 dry grenades or two grenades with water to the point the steel bends before the welds break** Potential employer: o_o hired.

2 inches of steel.

"3kg of c4" ... "No... but more than 1kg."

Sketchy as fhuck... Don't try this at home, you will die. Ok. I won't. Great advice!

yep :]

Yea, I've never seen Pommi back down!

Also Lauri suggested 4 granades and Pommi said: "no, let's try 2". And the almost die with 2 lol

I laughed way too hard at this😂😂

Yeah, that’ll take you straight back to the character select screen

@@belliduradespicio8009 😂

LMAO! 🤣 That's cinematic Robot Chicken-esque gold, brother! Doctor to family in waiting room: I'm sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Patient. But I'm afraid his game has ended.

I broke my spinal (Back) some month ago, so when I launch it was so funny that it hurts as hell! I can't imagine how bad It's feeling If you don't die that anvil accident.. It's pretty sure like Lauri said "game over".. No hospital, no fancy medics.. Or If you can live without your head so then..

But it's also hilarious how the thumbnail has him pointed at the explosives like, "Bofa Deez"

This is why they teach you to duck into cover after shooting your RPG at the target during anti-tank training.

Please don't escalate this. Let's find other cool things to do. That plate cutting 25 cm into the ground 50 meters away was terrifying.

It was f#cking terrifying! I actually flinched, I rarely flinch at stuff in the real world! My first thought was I hope those guys were nowhere near that!

It reminded me of when fpsrussia almost got hit by a truck door. It was worse because it flew right past him

Yes, it was over for the box once the damage from the first grenade in water went past elastic deformation into plastic deformation. At that point both the steel plates and the welds were compromised and I, too, am pretty certain that another single charge would have split it open.

There were no grenades

Watching the videos that show some of the construction of the box, it appears there were only some small tack welds inside, compared to the massive layered welds on the outside.

@@jrotcelite it passed its yield strength. Yield strength is NOT ultimate strength. TECHNICALLY the steel plates still defeated water + grenades. The grenade defeated the welds, not the steel plate.

@@mitchellward5739 idk if u blind or some but there were clearly many grenades.

Which way the problem is improved- better or worse- is up to your definition.

Can you plot this on a graph?

Nuclear or hydrogen bombs cannot even destroy a mountain...

@@prandomable Only because you're not using enough of them. Proves my point.

@@josephcote6120 it would take hell a lot of nukes to even destroy a little mountain just saying LOL!...there is like no amount of nukes in this world that could wipe out Himalayan mountain range. Maybe just lower Mt. Everest (at best) and probably will need countless amount of nukes just for lowering Mt. Everest. Also there are no nukes powerful enough to destroy an asteroid only 9.7 km (6 miles) wide according to NASA's scientific prediction...they made a video explaining why. Asteroid 6 miles wide is obviously too BIG for even the biggest nukes to destroy.

I wonder how many welding rods they used to construct this thing. Im thinking maybe 200.

@@ryanmalin They MIG welded it using a Kemppi X8. Look it up if you’re interested in welding, it’s pretty badass.

@@ryanmalin They said about 60Kg of welds in the previous video

Could be improved, welds done properly are stronger than the steel itself.

Welds were a little skimpy though, if you wanted full thickness, the welds would have a radius of 1" rather than flat... still entertaining result. And before anyone pounces on me, I say this as a journeyman welder/fabricator with 25 years experience.

The Atomic Pea Soup-program is also going forward. It won't be long until they manage to implode the pea soup can into a supercritical state :D

But he never had a single grenade. So he lied right thru the video

That's the difference between having an explosives expert available all the time and doing things in your garden lol

Although Texas is pretty lax on its gun regulations, it still has to follow Federal laws on blowing stuff up. I think Matt would love to do some of the stuff these guys do (minus the melting a hole in the ice lake with steel weight glowing red hot).

@@ronmoore6598 you realise that eds grenades are fake yes?

Duly noted. Thanks, wasn't thinking to, now I'm certain i won't, ever.

I would've like to see that plate hit a car.

Tungsten is heat resistant and certainly quite hard, but it's actually an extremely brittle metal. You wouldn't want to use it as a reinforcing material.

@@dustinbrueggemann1875 you were probably thinking reinforcement on the outside. I was thinking more of reinforcement of the inside of the box. I forgot to clarify where the reinforcements took place.

@@kranker114 That doesn't change the fact that tungsten is not a suitable structural metal.

Man, this guy fooled you at the end... Last one can never be possible with solid steel and such less explosives... It was a 2inch box at the end, not the solid one...

Absolutely - from an explosives guy!

Best gauge ever for explosion ideas :D

I see "quit faaking around and blow that thing up already!"

When it comes to explosives we revert back to little boys. 😂😂

Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. I choose not to opt in.

@@BillB23 Yes, we grow older but maybe not up..

Just a very heavy, flying steel plate to chop you in half, only "slightly" dangerous :D

The problem was the water plus the two handgrenades.

Goes to show how incompressible water really is. Four grenades in air - nothing, two grenades in water - split apart.

@@norbertfleck812 - Hydroforming enters the room.

@@norbertfleck812 the problem was the weld, and it was also thinner. The welds were very very impressive yes but it STILL finally gave up. If the box was formed entirely without any thinner welds. I highly doubt it would had broke, maybe just deformed a lot more. I can't prove that, but I "believe" the box would not have broke (without any welds).

it's the water...a piston engine will happily run sucking air for thousands of hours, but let it ingest water and the conrods (which aren't exactly toothpicks) will bend with the 1st attempt of compression. If those 2 grenades had no shrapnel-producing casing, you could probably be fine mostly standing 10m from the explosion (RIP eardrums though). Do the same in water and you'd suffer injuries prob. even 50m away. High-grade explosives are no joke ;-)

@@AKAtheA What makes you lucky is that the human body is mostly water. Check the experiments done by the teams around Jacques Cousteau and Hans Hass shortly after World War II. A human diver is more likely to survive a nearby underwater explosion than a submarine (at the same distance to the explosion).

not just two hand gernades. two plus water = BIG difference

I believe it was on Mark Robers channel, that he did a video explaining if you were safer on land or in water if a grenade went off. It was a good video.

@@Texas_Swift Mythbusters did an episode on underwater explosions.

one of my favorite clips ever

Worlds largest frag grenade needs to be a video

@@matthewphillips9083 "World's largest shaped charge" is going to be hard to beat though: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Plumbbob#Missing_steel_bore_cap

You'd have to be at least a kilometre away and under some shield. It would be 650 kilos of shrapnel raining down like meteorites.

@@mobiustrip1400 Perfect

"Yes.....but also no."

That is one of the best things I've seen/heard on this channel.

There were no grenades!!

After all of these years I hate Mythbusters for the fact they went small scale and then right to the big explosions and even though they were big and awesome they hurt the story on many projects. One example was when they used the 2 inch thick sheet of steel to try and flatten a car with explosives they went all out rather than scaling it up to see what they could do. They just splintered the sheet. Another one was cherry bombs in the toilet where they capped all the ends and blew up toilets. They clearly know that is not how a plumbing system works. Some of the things they did were stupid and went way overboard.

@@kameljoe21 if you're not a fan of stupid and overboard, what are you doing on this channel?

@@guadalupe8589 Your reading skills are really poor. I said that Mythbusters went small scale to right to the big explosions. They never finished their myth to see what could work. For example they just packed a cemet truck with explossive and blew it up. They did not even try it know the concrete out of it. They just blew it up. At least we got more than a handful of shots from this explosion. Even the video before this one as well. We saw the progression of its explosion. We saw that it can launch a cool bowling ball and an anvil to great heights..

@@kameljoe21 nope, reading skills are perfectly fine. Deal with it

@@kameljoe21 The impression I got from mythbusters was that they would do an experiment to test their myth and faithfully perform the experiment. Then, if that failed, they would go overboard and have some fun. The point is that they did actually thoroughly test their myths, and blowing everything up was plan B.

Yes it is!

@@Beyondthepress can u do more SLO MO with that cam.... slow frame explosions are best

Correct. The cube is new enough that it should be still covered under warranty.

I think "blast proof" is meant to cover "from the outside" and not "from the inside with a structurally weakening hole cut in the top."

@@demef758 Especially as that box was supposed to be blast proof... Obviously when they welded it, they left the plates too cold, so the weld didn't completely fuse the plates together.

@@armntic The plates had straight edges and that made them weak, as the weld had nothing to grab on... The hole on top just relieved some of the pressure from the blast.

Or on scomo's head! Lol!

or dropping 500lb safe-bombs on you.

Well, considering what has happened to anyone else who has tried to invade Finland, I would have one piece of advice for anyone thinking of invading; Don't.

@@thomasneal9291 So basically it's like trying to declare war on the Loony Tunes. Gotcha.

The water sure changed the distinctive metallic "ping" sound the cube makes. Water gave it a more Heavy Metal thud.

Need that on Hoodie!

"No problem. We have this giant space gun that can take multiple hand grenades worth of force. Just don't use water!"

Seriously, they are starting a space program with steel box booster technology. We need box 2.0 that can handle 4 hand grenade and water. Let’s send the anvil into orbit

Lmfao

You mean "And here we go."

In America we have our ways.

Just go buy some from your local hardware store?

how many is irrelevant if the answer is around "2" (and you have a steel box you want to refunction as a grenate in it's own right)

every man of culture have 2 grenades, at least.

Ask an Iraqi or a Syrian when in doubt.
