Me: Honey The crazy scientist is back at it again!!!! Wife: What did he do this time🙄

Good work on this one! Also you and Donut Operator sound like brothers and I can't unhear it!

Using a sponsored product in a comparison may lead to a conflict of interest in the future.

I want to Diesel in the kerosene please!!!

What if you ball of the fabric in front of the heater an see if it catches for some reason

I have no idea how the fire department didn't get called on him 🤣

Hahahaha omg, that was so unexpectedly hilarious, his reactions were great. "So you can just throw straight up gas on this thing!?" Like he's dissapointed, lol. Oh Tyler 🤣

😂😂😂

Better than my poor neighbors have it😂 there’s a lot of drunk nights of me starting the race car up or riding wheelies on the quad

@@southernracing2468 drunk driving? :( be careful

What good would a smoke alarm do.. he was already aware of the smoke so it would just be an annoyance

Dude is being bought it’s only going to get worse

Followed by dumping Water on a Gasoline fire.

We can almost hear his neighbors "Marge, he is at it again..." "Ted, I am worried about that boy!"

My neighbor? Yep.

Hahaha

It's free product safety testing.

That’s marketing!

I was like someone sponsored this madness!? Bold marketing indeed.

They are amazing heaters! I love mine!

Yes, thank you for pointing this out!!!

I'd suggest not throwing gasoline on a space heater next time lol.

Bucket of sand will work too!

I'm actually disappointed at his lack of safety in this video. He seems to live in a fairly tight neighborhood. Not only is he risking his own home with these tests, but the belongings of others as well. He never mentioned having a fire extinguisher on standby, never wore a respirator with all of that plastic smoke, etc. He says it was done in a safe environment, but I really don't trust any of this. Sure, some of the video tests are harmless where the worst thing that could happen is Tyler gets cut. But this was a different story...

flour.

And I love the way you worded that shit 😂

@@derpydog9469 ok

I sorta wish he would have had a "cheap" electric heater in the mix such as a radiant heat one. These ceramic heaters start to resist electricity more as the element starts to get too hot, which reduces power, which makes them naturally a lot safer. Not 100% safe, but far safer than older styles.

Is that not mandatory, hopefully it’s just old grandfathered in heaters

Hell yeah put a hot pocket on top of the kerosene one 🤣

@@cnukem My family cooked on a kerosene heater in the Blizzard of '93.

I've toasted bread on em before

You can buy a rack for the buddy heater to cook on. Ice fishermen do it all the time

@@warmitupchristopher you turn the front grate around and hook it in horizontally.

Thankfully the electric one didn't catch a fire

That’s because they are small fires. You can get away with using water on gas fires if it is small. The amount of gasoline he used was less than the amount of water

He threw gasoline on space heaters. At that point nothing surprises me with this guy.

@@floyd2386 South Carolina for ya. Maybe Tennessee, but I'd put money on SC. I've never met the guy, I'm just from GA and recognize the accent and the landscape from the backyard lol.

@@Joeperryftw He lives in Texas. He’s said so in previous videos and was also posting last winter about how he had no electricity/internet back when that huge snowstorm hit the Austin area.

Usually if they have a faulty sensor, or they are old and weren't designed with one, or they are being run the wrong way, or they were designed very poorly and were cheaply made.

Aren't dryers also number 1 causes of fires?

Imagine forgetting the heater would kick on and having a polyester blanket on it .... I had a gas heater in the middle of my apartment. It would kick on with the thermostat but like most people horizontal surfaces are hard to come by. The blanket melted into the heater by the time I woke up. I was scraping plastic out of the vents for weeks. Eventually I had just turn it on with the windows open to air out the smoke.

@@GOAT_GOATERSON actually cooking is the number one that causes fires but you're right about that

@@kalebhopkins248 oh, well that makes sense, you cook almost everyday

I have a new heater and it has the red hot wires

I know! Like mom was born in the 50s and she keeps on at me about the electric heater I keep on my nightstand. It has all the basic safety features and will cut off if tipped or overheated.

Also they pull so much power and people plug them into ridiculous power strips with lots of other things and it causes an electrical fire

@@IntelliPocalypse Why would you even use a space heater, isnt central heating a thing ??

@@BeatstormX tell me you eat with a silver spoon without telling me you eat with a silver spoon

But that wouldn't be a heater specific fire hazard, that could go for any other electrical appliance

@@MrLukeMedia not really, there are very few appliances or devices that suck up 1500w continuously like a space heater does. The issue is especially apparent in older houses where the wire gauge isn't adequate. You run 1500w through a small gauge cable it generates alot of heat, potentially enough to melt the insulation inside your walls and combust dry materials.

@@DeagleGamesTV computers easily can, my pc runs a 1500w power supply and since my house is old its plugged into (first a very save surge protector) a 2 prong outlet note that i shut it off each night after im done using it but some people i know keep theirs on 24/7 wich is jus dum more for security reasons but that's a different thing

@@weedjesus5587 lol your computer has a 1500w power supply and it has NEVER reached that 1500w. 1500w is huge overkill for a gaming PC even with the best graphics card and 128gb of ram and the best CPU available currently. Your computer also is smart enough to not pull wattage it doesn't need. So when you are not using 100% of the computer it uses less wattage, if you're just browsing youtube it is probably using ~150w. Not even close to a space heater.

As an electrician, I would estimate that 1/3-1/2 of winter service calls we get are because of space heaters burning up receptacles, and wires. I would never use one in my house on a 15a circuit. Maybe a 20a

Sure he does cotton and polyester.

He'll be fine. He's coating his lungs with the same material that Steve1989MREInfo coats his stomach with.

Your lungs will heal after awhile, that’s why if a smoker stops smoking then his lungs go back to a healthy persons lungs

@@woodsiewood8310 Bullshit, if that was true, then smokers wouldn't still get emphysema when they quit. The healed scar tissue doesn't function like healthy tissue. That doesn't ever come back. A smoker will never "go back to a healthy persons lungs".

My lungs healed from smoking meth.

Didn’t he do that last episode

@@theaverageredneck8426 I just checked to confirm, he only did a single layer of fabric like he did in this one. Checked the other heater vids from a year ago. Still the same single layer.

My bed as a child caught fire due to one also, we used them other places except my room after 😅

My best friend’s grandpa caught on fire

Those are actually the safest heaters generally, the only real danger is user error, like leaving it too close to combustibles.

@@DeagleGamesTV soooooooo the only real danger is ya know the actual main danger. User error is the main real danger of 90% of things

@@johndorian4078 Most vehicular collisions are caused by user (pilot) error.

Oh eep! I never though of having to warm pipes before. I'm guessing you had to move around the space heaters to keep the pipes warm. Ack

@@OgdenM It was 2 and a half days without power, and thankfully the house doesn’t have a basement. The concrete foundation acted as an insulator, and kept the pipes underneath from getting too cold. However, the hot water heater was in the garage, which was very drafty so it quickly got cold. What we did was we kept an eye on the temperature on the garage floor with a digital thermometer, and when it got close to 32 degrees F we would run a propane grill for about 20 minutes or so next to the hot water heater, then let the fumes dissipate over an hour or so, to prevent the fumes from building up. That kept the water from freezing over by the garage. The wood stove in the main house kept the bathroom and kitchen pipes from freezing, thank goodness. It was still around 50 to 60 degrees F when the wood stove was burning as hot as it could, so blankets were necessary to be comfy in the dark. Another family member with a spare generator stopped by and gave us the generator so we could run the space heaters inside along with the wood stove, but we had to run the generator outside because of the generator exhaust. Of course the wind was howling and blowing like crazy, so the generator would cut out periodically despite our best efforts to keep it going, but it was useful when it worked. Thankfully we made it out alright, we also had a 2004 4WD Chevy Suburban we could use to run to gas stations and grocery stores that somehow stayed open through all that mess, so if we needed water or food we could just buy it. Some of us had some time to breathe so we went to Red Robin for a hot meal and a warm place to be for a couple hours, AND THE POWER CUT OUT MID-MEAL. It came back on a couple minutes later THANK GOODNESS (I nearly had a heart-attack, I only had a debit card to pay for the food and no cash so if the power didn’t come back on…).

17 people just died in that Bronx highrise too.

The real question is how was the item misused.

what the fuck

I mean yeah, but also technically no. It was caused by inadequate wiring in conjuction with space heaters drawing way to much power and causing the power lines in the wall to combust.

❄️

Yeah, like with that foam I was just thinking "that smoke has to be pretty bad, like open the garage door and get a fan on at least".

It doesn't matter in this case. I'm convinced he has divine protection and is basically immortal at this rate. Based on what he posts he should have died several videos ago and many times. I can only imagine off camera.

@@molyoxide164 Doesn’t fit snowflake criteria kiddo. Try again

@@fallouthirteen I hear ya for the garage I've always thought the same but maybe its so he doesn't Doxx himself? idk he could also do those test outside at the very least

Carcinogens. Let's take that stuff back to California, where even apples are labelled as cancerous. 😛 Today, materials are made to not cause cancer, even when burned. Especially not in the portions he was testing with.

Definitely don't use them unattended.

They still make the older styles of electrics, but they are generally marketed as "garage heaters". the biggest risk with a modern ceramic element heater isn't the heater itself, its people using too thin of extension cords.

Go hug a landmine, scammers.

And he's a diesel engineer…

It worked fine though

Why

@@drucifer71 cuz they were drunk

Nice

for what its worth (probably nothing coming from a stranger online) i do believe your account of that terrifying fire happening to you HOWEVER i also have many years of using space heaters inside which theyre designed to do and im saying there is zero danger if you arent using a junk heater or having home wiring problems.

I'm terribly sorry that this happened to you. I hope you and your family recovered(or are recovering) well.

@@tubevideoguy762 Would you know if you were having wiring problems before they caused a fire? Not necessarily. A motel in my town burned down when the cleaners left on a bathroom fan. They didn't know they had a problem before they had a fire in the wall. It is wise to never assume a zero danger, and always stay alert and cautious.

You can plug heaters into both power strips and smart outlits. I have my oil-radiating heater plugged into a smart outlet which is plugged into power strip. The key is getting both that are RATED for high enough wattage. Most Smart outlets are NOT rated high enough. You specifically have to look for one that is made for 1500 volts (which is a max of a electric heater) But, even in your setup, you probably wouldn't have started a fire. A fire is all about combustible material. So, unless you had stuff sitting on top of the outlet you'll probably just get sparks and plastic melting w/ some smoke until the outlet just fails. It's gonna be smelly but probably won't start a fire.

@@OgdenMthink you mean watts dawg. Which doesn’t give me a ton of confidence in the rest of the comment no offense. But yeah you probably should be able to plug a heater or anything else pulling 1500 watts into proper power strips

Older electric heaters as well since most of them never had a tip sensors.

Fax‼️

🤣🤣🤣

That goes well with all the things the airlines tell you not to have on you in case of a cabin fire. Two I remember are polyester clothes and hair spray.

A fire extinguisher is the best way to put out a grease fire in the kitchen.

You can use water just fine as long as it's not a large amount of gas.

This would be a more realistic experiment. I don't know anyone who puts pillows on top of kerosene heaters

He tested that in the last video by wrapping a towel on the sides without the top and less happened than putting it on top

@@saraashkir5793 but when he put a blanket on it entirely, the edges were doing far more

@@SOSolacex I get that but I think thats only when the top is covered. The heat cant escape from the top so it gets directed to the sides. But if only the sides are covered then nothing happens. If the whole thing gets covered with no way to let out the heat, then the heater will likely go out from lack of oxygen.

@@saraashkir5793 it won't go out, he tried it before. But the fact that the heat has no proper way to escape is precisely why I want him to cover the entire thing; it makes it get hotter.

Must be nice to not have to run a space heater in every room. 🤣

Why would that need a warning. Should be basic common sense.

@@DeagleGamesTV kids don’t know that and to be honest a lot of people just don’t pay attention

@@DeagleGamesTV Common sense isn't the same as having a knowledge of electricity and how outlets work. Common sense would say if there are two places to plug something in, you can plug two in.
