BigClive: "One moment, please..." BigClive with beer: "It burnt a hole right through my fuckin' ruler!" We love you big bear!

it burnt a hole right through my fuckin ruler

I love that he calmly describes that as an "outdoor explosion" as if there is a reasonable definition of an "INDOOR EXPLOSION!"

Jesus christ! First Clive Dremels through an explosive, then tries to solder to it! "Explosive" means the same in Scottish, right?

How many beers did it take before you thought this was a good idea?

"By the power of beer, lets make it happen.". Big Clive 12/12/2016. 13:46.

Big Clive....the only man I know who would take a dremel to an explosive. Brilliant.

Says good bye to expensive iPad, upset about hole in cheap ruler lol

"...explosive disconnectors; they're /really/ loud, and they disconnect."

Please remember Clive, many of the entrants' to the Darwin Awards final words were "hold my beer"...

My car has one of these. It's connected to the positive battery cable and tied to the airbag system. In the event of an accident it explosively disconnects the battery cable. Clever really. Changing the battery is a time consuming effort where you have to follow a specific time frame in order for the system to 'go to sleep', about 30 mins in all. Great video as ever Clive.

Next video: "cuting granade open with angle grinder"🤣🤣🤣😂😂

10:42 Clive tone of voice trasitioning from 18th century gentleman to texan farmer

"Explosive connectors, they're really loud and they disconnect." Beer science at its best.

Properties of explosive disconnect: 1) does disconnect 2) they are really loud Anything else?

In High School Physics class, back in the 80s, I recall putting a wooden lead carbon pencil in series connection with a lab transformer, with similar but slightly more spectacular results, as the pencil skined itself and the carbon lead exploded. Equally as impressive was connecting a length of steel wool to the lab transformer, the steel wool almost instantaniously vapourising with a few airbourn tinkles of sparklers.

Don't worry about ruler, the metric side is still perfectly usable =)

Your desk is going to end up looking like Photonicinduction's carpet if you continue to do these things.

10:03 - Thank you for giving me another way to open a beer! 10:47 - Clive, you're DRUNK! 13:50 - Clive, you... oh well never mind.

I love that little "mm" Clive does just before he eats or drinks something.

This video has been released by Clives' lawyer, in accordance with his will.

You... tried to solder onto what you thought was an explosive charge at all?

"Hold my beer and watch this", last words of many an adventurer

Good posting Clive, thank you. In my youth many years ago we as typical boys of the middle to late 60's found some unused railway detonators, in a box, they were used on the tracks to alert train drivers etc as to the danger of fog or any other type of incident ahead. Well as boys being boys some were put upon the tracks of the GWR and observed with nervous laughter as the train approached. "BANG, BANG, BANG", saw the boys running away with squeals of delight before the last explosion had stopped echoing in the factories alongside the railway. We found other ways to detonate them and one particular exercise saw some exploding in the Grand Union Canal and the deserted gravel pits which were virtually next to the canal and railway. A local metal working company 'supplied' the pipes and rods etc from their unlocked and open scrap bins. The detonators provided a couple of days of excitement in an otherwise hot and sultry summer holiday. A couple of things we learnt from these escapades was the explosions are better when the detonators were enclosed in something and never stand too close when applying the necessary force to explode them. We often looked for more boxes next to the railway but alas it seemed as if it was only a once in a lifetime event. Even so, it was much appreciated.

might be by new favorite Clive vid, and the first time I've heard a genuine laugh out of you. "it's burning a hole right through my fuckin ruler!" - fucking hilarious

"Explosive Disconnectors, they're really loud and disconnect" - Big Clive 2016

10:22 - "Goodbye little iPad...mu-ah!" OMG that was hilarious! Also *R.I.P.* the ruler... These videos are better than watching Comedy Central for number of laughs per minute. :)

hahaha, your understated calm reaction in the face of disaster/certain death is fantastic. You had me in fits of laughter. You'd be great to have around in an apocalypse.

Um, not really sure here. But we have almost the same one i sweden, and here, i do belive that what melted you'r ruler is the primer, and in the bottom there is a .22 shell with only gunpowder in it? And thats what blows of the cable end.. Could be wrong here and you version is different. But thats how the one i have at work functions.

"so, explosive disconnectors. They are really loud and they disconnect." Best conclusion ever LOL

Pretty sure I've already seen this one, but watching you attack that thing with a dremel has me on the edge of my seat.

Holy crap Clive, that's the most roundabout method of quality control I'm in explosive connector I've ever seen!

"I'm not sure the beer is terribly compliant" I like where this is going already..

this had me at the edge of my seat the whole time

"By the power of beer, let's make it happen", he said as he took a sip of a beer and was beginning his experiment. Next thing he remembers, the vice wasn't where he previously left it. According to the neighbours, sound of shots being fired were heard coming from his house. What happened that night is still a mystery. :)

I wish I had a science teacher like you when I was at school. This is just brill.

In the beginning, I was quite concerned for your hand....

first you stunned me when you start cutting into explosive thing but then you topped yourself when you revealed that you tried to solder explosive slug which supposed to get triggered from heat. Perhaps you knew it was a very weak explosive

11:02 And from that moment on, the burn mark was never to be unseen again.

"I do shit like this all the time, I seriously do" That was great, entertaining & educational, thanks Big Clive...by the power of beer indeed!

Beer, high voltage and explosives? Sounds like a recipe for AWSOME VIDEOS

Here hold my beer....

And this is why I watch youtube so much, for those golden but rare moments I'm left in tears of laughter. A great xmas pressy from Clive! thanks.

Yes, still fascinating 4+ years later. More please!

Ho ho It's burnt a hole right through my fuckin' ruler! Ha!

'I've completely failed to solder onto this explosive charge' is not something you hear that often. [Which fortunately it wasn't but...]

Clive this has to be one of the funniest videos you have made! The power of beer is quite something when you tap into its potential.

Big Clive, I thoroughly enjoyed this video, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time! Thank you BC! Ps. I'm glad you did not get hurt.

Soooo... what's inside a hand grenade?

Beer and explosives what could ever go wrong.

This has been some of the best commentary of any of your videos. You must be a joy to drink with.

This is the best channel to watch while being quarantined in the house. I can't get enough

"That is officially one of the loudest bangs I've had in my in my workshop ever..." Oh REALLY? The modesty is palpable.

"Explosive disconnectors - they're really loud and they disconnect" pure genius

interesting stuff i probably imagine if that was in andy's (photonic inductions) hands he would find a means of setting it off with far higher voltage and i imagine what would be a much larger bang, great vid :)

thank you so much for this video . i have had a box of these things sitting around for years never knowing what they were... you are so amazing and your videos are great. keep it up...

Hi, I'm Clive and welcome to Jackass: Isle of Man :-)

R.I.P imperial units.

I always wondered how those worked & now I do. Thank you Clive.

You were lucky and we were lucky hopefully expecting to have more of your fresh and awesome videos available in the future. Live long and prosper! 🖖🙂

Funny, I was just drinking some carlsberg tonight and then I come up on this. I'm going to remember this for a long time now. Thanks for the video Clive! Making electronics interesting :) - A random Canadian

"find the vice" oh I'm in tears here, utterly brilliant :-)

Keep up the great work, Clive. :-) Helps us to recall our youthful days of blowing shit up just for fun! Blasting caps were usually good for a lark. Very glad that applying the dremel to an explosive charge didn't require scraping the remains of your fingers off the ceiling ;-)

I think this is one of my most favorite videos from your channel!

13:55 for mega desk destroying explosion

Thank you, inanimate carbon rod!

As someone who has done extensive munitions testing right up to 250 kg, Mk. 82 Aircraft Bombs, I held my breath the entire time! A pellet of explosives this size can typically take your hand of... glove or no glove. Perhaps the beer helps! Clive! My respect for your nerves of steel! 💪

My toes were curling the whole time, just anticipating a bang and a hospital visit for a video this long.

Last stanza of the Hollow Men applied initially and then you go and do that...! Happy Christmas Clive...if you survive long enough to enjoy it...god only you! Cheers Dave

I love blue-collar bears.

‘Things that shouldn’t be exploded indoors’ ..this reminds me of a youthful experiment where I wrapped about 30 matchheads in a copious amount of silver foil.. then hit the resulting package with a hammer in the confines of my dad’s garage/shed. What could happen? It was only matches.. ..well it turned out, quite a lot. There was an enormous bang, concrete chips went flying, luckily not hitting me. I staggered out of the shed, concussed, to find all the neighbours hanging out the windows saying someone was shooting a gun. It took a week for my hearing to return to normal 😆 Congratulations on another fantastic presentation Clive. Doing stupid dangerous things so we don’t have to.. 🙂👍

Your reaction after the detonation was priceless. :). Thanks for a great video

Never change, Clive

Lol your reaction to it burning through your ruler Also man that would look good in slow motion I bet.

videos like this is why I love this channel.

hahahaha just what i needed to cheer me up. The ceramic tube focused the charge, we the audience just had to wait! Very amusing, keep it coming Clive...

11:50 new doorbell feature >:)

This channel is fucking amazing. Everybody has to love being slightly inebriated and playing with explosives.

This showed up as a suggestion to the charging plug that got blown off by lightning video where you also mentioned the lightning arrestor teardown. This is good informative content with an even better humorous commentary. 😆 Thanks you for sharing and stay safe.

It was interesting your curiosity into this type of connector. Also your choice of a premium beer . Quality not quantity

i had my safety squints on all the way through this

BANG - instant desk tidy!

that has to be 1 of the best vids ive seen in ages your expressions hace me rolling round no matter hw many times ive watched this........ AWSOME!!

Using an abrasive cutoff wheel to cut a thermally triggered explosive. I couldn't help but avert my eyes during the second cut. Nice video.

I would have loved to see this in slow motion, I expect it would look freaking awesome, though the highlight for me was the melting a hole right through your ruler.

fuckin hell that made me jump and laugh out loud thanks Clive you've made my morning!

I have no clue how I stumbled on your channel, but I'm glad I did, love your humour

Thanks Clive..great video and suspenseful, too, with the Dremeling-open of the explosive dis-connector ;-).. Lately I've been researching the world of Power Linemen.... absolutely fascinating... and eerie, too, with all that high-voltage AC or DC sizzling and crackling around them and the things they do to bond-on with and equalize themselves with that voltage while they work on the live lines. #LinemenAreAwesome. :-)

One of the best videos yet Clive lol.

Thanks for the evening entertainment Clive :)

Classic Big Clive, we learned something and then a big BANG followed by Clivien understatement.

When I was in college my roommate and I found a railroad torpedo that hadn’t been set off. We took it home, climbed out on the fire escape, set it on the warming element of a mr coffee coffee pot and plugged it in. After about 20 minutes we got bored and went across the street to the pub. It went off after about 30 minutes we heard it go off from in the pub. It demolished the mr. coffee, broke two windows and the cops showed up in numbers. Good fun and educational.

"This thing might explode while I'm holding it in my hand and cutting on it. . . I'd better wear gloves."

I wonder if that's how 'explosive bolts' work on rockets when they release their boosters and stages. It's actually just carbon, not a dangerous real explosive

Clive Brudda, go easy on yourself. We NEED you to keep making these videos. Can't do it if you blow yourself, or a part of you, up. Stay Safe Bigg Bear. Bigg Huggs !!

I love the fact that you have a chug and just go right for it bigclivedotcom! My generation needs the guts you graciously film for our curiosity, and continued existence.

man, you need to do more videos like this, they are the shit!!!

I'm a bear! Seriously I just loved that! Neat video once again.

Wow - glad you are ok and thanks for showing me what is just the other side of the playing field (I think)

I love how hilariously jolly Clive gets after a couple drinks :D
