As we make our way back out and about, how cool would it be to identify your fellow Rogues at a glance? Surgical grade masks with a single golden-yellow ear strap are a cheeky, subtle way to do just that! Read more about them at www.scamstuff.com/products/modern-rogue-masks. We’re giving away packs of 50 Modern Rogue masks to FOUR winners of this week’s free giveaway. Enter for free at gimme.scamstuff.com for a chance to win (no purchase necessary, giveaway ends 11/18/2021). Congrats to the winners of last week's Wallet Lockpick Set giveaway: Dylon Wake, Travis Poppenhusen, Matthew Linn, Serena Powell, and Stephen Nicholson (we will contact you via email within the next two weeks.)

yeah just get a few packs of sparklers and a pair of wire cutters/side cutters. Don't waste your time taking the stuff off the metal, if you look up videos of bundles of sparklers it's the same if not better. Cut off the extra metal at the bottom place one or two sparklers to the side and commence cutting the rest in half until they are about 2-3 inches long. Bundle with duct tape leaving the top open using 5+ wraps and leave either a fuse or a longer sparkler out of the center of the top. putting a cap or zomething on the top just limits the speed and creates a chance of building pressure. It should be at least an inch in diameter but you probably want it taller than it is thick. You can also add a layer of tin foil or pack them into a Redbull can with the top cut off for more of a directed fountain. You might also want to look into the channel Tech Ingredients for some nice smoke bombs and look into having them come down to Texas for at least 2 weeks. You will need the time. He can also help build a cheap giant swamp cooler for the garage of the back if you want to tame the summer heat.

The failed devices could have been dropped in to be made safe. its a clean way to completely extinguish things almost instantly.

start the Morningstar next to the pile of brush, and then stand over there on a wide pile of gravel. You can tell they've become acclimated to catastrophic failure; they're anticipating it going wrong so picked the safer spot to stand, rather than starting the Morningstar on the gravel, and when things fail, they're standing next to the dry brush. Clever.

It isn't as stupid as you might think. What are the typical table options? Metal, wood, plastic. Metal won't get lit on fire by whatever you're doing, but it also conducts heat *really* well, which could lead to having hotspots in the table long after the fire or whatever explosives are out and cooled. Easy way to burn yourself if you touch the surface too soon. Also the heat could potentially catch or melt other things on the table. Not great. Plastic isn't quite as good a conductor of heat as metal, but it is alright at it. So you have some of the metal problems, but also the issue of the plastic actually melting underneath the pyrotechnics. And once it melts, it could have a surface where bits of the plastic could catch fire as well. Wood doesn't conduct heat hardly at all. And while yes, obviously wood burns, it will never melt. So you can expose it to very high temperatures and not have to worry about the surface remaining super hot or being damaged aside from some small char marks. It can technically catch fire, but since it doesn't melt, the surface is always going to be flat and very solid & dense. Starting a fire on such a material, especially when the source of the flame is ABOVE the material is really quite difficult. It would be like trying to light a campfire by setting out a massive log and placing a lit match on top of it. That's never going to work. Obviously going outside and using a dirt or cement etc. base for the more dangerous stuff is smarter, but for small things like these, wood is perfectly fine, and actually the safest of the available materials.

The basic ingredients are aluminum powder, steel powder for branching sparks, an oxidizer, and a binder, usually gum Arabic or CMC. Roughly: Barium Nitrate 50% Dextrin 10% Steel powder 30% Aluminum powder 8% Charcoal, 150 mesh 0.5% Boric acid 1.5% The boric acid is a neutralizer to stop the aluminum reacting with the barium nitrate in the wet slurry. It takes no part in the sparkler action. Some high end sparklers use titanium powder for an even more intense white, and magnalium (a 50:50 alloy of aluminum and magnesium) can also be used. The oxidizer is often a mixture of two parts potassium nitrate to one part barium nitrate - barium nitrate gives a more intense white light than most oxidizers. Aluminium or magnesium or magnalium, producing white sparks Iron, producing orange branching sparks Titanium, producing rich white sparks Ferrotitanium, for yellow-gold sparkles

@@RichardCranium321 sparklers going off themselves isn’t exactly the end of the world, at worst you’re looking at eye damage or burns to the hands, and the risks are pretty low of either. It would take a pretty unlikely confluence of circumstances for that to be a problem. But safety is about consistency. That’s critically important. You need to establish good habits so that you’re not counting on perfect foresight every time to undertake a potentially dangerous action. I work in industrial automation, for example, and just because I’ve locked out a breaker doesn’t mean I don’t test the circuit before I handle it. Is it likely for a breaker to be mislabeled so badly as to confuse me? No. Is it likely that some sort of voltage storage could exist on the circuit without my knowledge? No, people don’t usually stick batteries or capacitor banks on circuits that don’t require them. But why chance it? What value is extracted from doing something badly when doing it correctly takes no appreciable extra effort? What benefit do metal pliers give that any wooden tool, or even taped plier ends wouldn’t? Is there some huge materials cost to a wooden roller or electrical tape that I’m unaware of? Doing things the risky way because 10 seconds of extra effort seems like too much is a bad idea. And yeah, this time it’s a sparkler, it’s junior grade thermite, it’s not like it’s massively risky. But these guys wear face shields to fire alcohol rockets, they’re clearly concerned with safety, they just missed this one. So, I pointed it out. That way they know a best practice if they ever make anything more dangerous, like an explosive.

It shot sparks a few feet into the air, and towards all the flammable stuff around us. It was very pretty but also super stressful trying to not burn down the garage because idiot me thought it would be a good idea to do this inside. Also handfuls of sparkler dust throw into a campfire can be fun. Don't remember that being any more dangerous than the bottle rockets and firecrackers that also got tossed in the campfire.

As a kid I hated loud noises, but loved fireworks that were quiet, so I got really familiar with sparklers and those little balls that when lit would produce smoke [leaving out actual name for obvious reasons]. Some of the best sparklers to breakdown for other uses are those wrapped in paper, as they are basically already powder wrapped around a wooden stick, no crushing necessary. I used to use that for a trick around my friends to, "light water on fire."
@thespartan2224

Yeah, so we make these down here in Australia and we tend to use cans (milo tin, cleaned out fruit tin, etc) to store the sparkler powder in. Then we'll usually just have a piece of paper or no lid and use a long sparkler to act as a fuse. This avoids the problem you ran into of the plastic melting as it burns down. The metal of the can/tin is a bit more resistant to the heat.

Safety Advice from a pyrotechnition! Fuse should be cut using an anvil cutter or utility knife instead of scissors. Scissors or shears can cause a premature ignition because of the high point of friction where the blades touch. Anvil cutters are best. Metal blade and plastic anvil.

I mean, safety wise, so many things went wrong in this vid dads xD I do love it BUT... here are some of my highlights!! 1) Flammable table where you test the "firecrackers" 2) You take the safety glasses/mask off to "See better and more close" what is going on when something is NOT igniting immediately. The rule is, more closer you are something ignitable/burning stuff, more safety gear you should have ON. This happened multiple times, indoors and outdoors :D 3) When outdoors and making the fire, definitely stay on the sandy, rocky ground, not in front of a dry brush. 4) and if you really, really need to go poke something "on fire" or smoldering, don't do it with the dry wooden sticks :D 5) Where are the gloves??

Your artillery firework Vietnam story reminded me of a similar experience when I was a kid. My dad thought it would be cool to launch TWO shells, simultaneously, from the same tube...he just dropped one in on top of the other and held the fuses together as he lit them. The fuses burned unevenly, first one went off and knocked the tube over. It was aimed directly at me, and even though I didnt know the science at the time, I knew it wasn't good. Lol. I just remember realizing my fate, turning around and sprinting away, and then hearing the *thump* of the shell launching, I risked a look back while still running, and as my head swiveled back to the front it detonated about 5 ft from the back of my head and yellow fiery streaks flew through my vision, seemingly from all sides. I just kept running til I heard my dad laughing his ass off. Definitely felt like a Platoon scene. 😂

This reminds me of the time I crushed up sparklers, gutted capgun caps and mixed the 2 together to overstuff capguns and make extra loud bangs. Ended up having some of it go off and had sparks fly into my eye. Can still see so its all good.

We used to bend the end of about 9 small sparklers, put them in a small pvc tube slightly shorter than the sparklers (basically filling up the tube), and use one as a fuse to light them on the top end. This created a very dense smoke, but I wouldn't know if it's from the plastic tubing, or the confined sparklers (haven't tried it for 20 years or so).

My brother and I used to make similar every year, a full box of sparklers in a tennis ball, cut a hole width about half an inch (leave open) fill with powder and one cut sparkler as fuse. find a good foothold to place in, light and watch a huge fountain of sparkles.

Me and a couple friends back in high school went to the local outlet that had cheap, piddly fireworks and bought a couple hundred sparklers and some fuse wire. Ground up the sparklers, put it in a coffee can with the fuse wire, set a ceramic flower pot, with an army man we had found melted to the side of an electrical pole, on a wire frame above it, and lit the fuse. The whole thing went up like crazy, completely vaporized the plastic army guy. In hindsight, we took no precaution as to avoiding static electricity as we ground up the sparklers by hand, and that could have been an oopsie.

I've played with "sparkler dust" and the metal is normal (IT STAYS HOT). Like gunpowder, the grain size affects the burn rate. Gun powder (black or smokeless) actually works better when its not too fine NOT A LAWYER but the container is USUALLY more of an issue. If gunpowder possession is legal in your area, burning a pile is fine. BUT, if you seal it in a pipe. Around my area putting dry ice in a pop bottle even though its not a true explosion could land you in front of a judge.

I don't have any experience with this, but some suggested improvements would be using a metal can like a soup can, and make a bigger opening for the sparkler fuse. The sparkler may actually be blocking any air from entering the container and snuffing itself out, while the fuse was completely burning itself away so there was nothing blocking the oxygen from entering. You could also try multiple holes at the top to allow for air or for the sparks to exit.
@mbirth
@mbirth 2 жыл бұрын
Now take a spent CO2 cartridge and fill it up with the sparkler dust, light with another sparkler. If the opening is pointed down, it'll go off like a rocket. If it's pointing up, you first have a funny sparkler until the opening gets clogged. When that happens, be away from it and cover your ears.

Fireworks story for ya I had the same thing happen with the plastic mortar things, except it melted the bottom enough to fall over pointed almost directly at some friends and I, who were sitting in front of a wall. It made impact with the wall about 5 feet from me and spun for a few seconds, and all we could really do was cover our heads (and ears) and hope for the best. Needless to say, it could've come directly at us and we could've been injured.

On the days after the 4th of July, fireworks have last minute blow out sales. My parents would regularly buy fireworks after the 4th and save them for the next year. One year our garage flooded and the fireworks got wet, but had dried out by the 4th of July. It was supposed to shoot off individual spinning rockets one after the other. Instead the whole thing blew up in a giant ball of fire sending rockets screaming out in every direction.

Hey, I've experienced that same situation with a mortar. Although on mine the fuse unwound when I dropped it into the tube and caught on the lip. I tried to get it to fall on into the tube, but instead it ended up lighting a much closer portion of the fuse and went off approximately a foot in front of my face. Instead of launching like it should've it just stayed in place spinning. Shellshock is fun.

guys the mix on sparklers is already thermite aluminum and iron last for the sparks and a pinch of barium so if you ignite a big amount of that mixture it will also burn under water because in the mix is a oxidizer too

All about Nozzle pressure. More pressure in small nozzle = Bigger flame. Big bottle will melt the plastic so no pressure will build up. Also most flammable things that are non explosive will slow down the sparkler reaction. Thermite g powder and match heads add to the flame most other things will slow it down.

have you guys ever tried making "diy" thermite? you basically remove the contents of a hand warmer (iron oxide) and then you mix that with some fine bits of aluminum foil (putting it in a blender works pretty good to get the pieces small). the effect is pretty good and gets at least hot enough to melt locks and stuff like that

A couple of things here First of all, it really doesn't help lighting stuff outside if you do it right next to a bunch of dry sticks. That stuff will light up real fast. Good thing you had those fire extinguishers though. Secondly, i think the morning star burned too hot. It melted the metals instead of lighting them on fire. Now im not a fireworks specialist or anything, but i would imagine that is what was happening from just the visuals.

As a kid I used to make badass sparkler bombs and bottle rockets with nothing but sparklers and duct tape. I'd cut the excess wood or metal off and wrap them tightly in duct tape with a sparkler sticking out for the fuse. The amount of layers and tightness on the fuse end would determine if it was going to explode or propel.
