42,000 Match Sphere Gets Lit

What happens when you start gluing matches together? Because the heads are slightly wider than the wooden bodies, they begin to form a sphere. This was an experiment in how many matches it would take to get all the way around to make a perfect globe. After months of gluing and gluing and gluing we made it to the other side. Then the experiment shifted to see what it would look like when this thing burned. Enjoy!

[@adamcarnell665]

Bye alderon

[@Joe-xo4yg]

Get Houston on the line, prepare the world for bad news 😎

[@TheJakiller]

It looks like a forest fire spreading across a planet

[@ProfessorSyndicateFranklai]

How ironic would it be if this was the match fire that set fire to this forest.

[@mmmirele]

Apparently the Chicxulub asteroid that precipitated the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago started massive fires across the earth. This kind of gave me an idea of what that might have looked like.

[@xogmaster]

That was exactly what I thought of. Glad to know I'm not the only one.

[@SneakyFruitBat]

No, the fire wouldn’t be bigger than the planet

[@Rowed]

TheJakiller except earth isn't flat, and has deserts, mountains, and also... oceans.

When you need to destroy a planet for a movie and your budget is only $50.

[@Cinnamongirl-ub6wr]

This costed 500$ actually

[@Versuffe]

Lisa holy GOD

[@MiniaturWunderlandOfficial]

Haha nice 😂 We destroyed our huge model train set with blowing up a ball out of matches 😂

[@TampaTec]

2:30 thank you for not talking or stopping here that was strangely peaceful.

[@eslafdiemanon5266]

Some men just want to watch the world burn. Others build gigantic Jupiter lookin' balls of matches and light that shit up instead.

[@rithrick]

I see all the comments making jokes and even the ones criticizing the video, but let's just take a moment and look at HOW COOL THIS IS.

[@scuffedborgerjimbo6546]

Then the fire nation attacked.

It all depends on which which country the starting flame is supposed to be

[@Nachtgeist.]

i'm giving you a like because the climax wasnt preceeded by 15 minutes of you and your 7-10 college frat boy friends explaining what was about to happen at the very end of the video

[@dvig3261]

yeah, I missed that too.

[@doz161]

6:17 Sauron wants his eye back !

[@MiniaturWunderlandOfficial]

😂

[@carabidus]

I would have shot this in front of a green screen. This would have been a sweet piece of stock footage

[@canaan5337]

carabidus green match heads would ruin the effect

[@carabidus]

probably... no rule against using *any* color for your chroma key, though (i.e. blue)

[@theDudeOfDudes]

I actually am really curious what this would look like on an actual GREEN screen? Time to buy some matches.

[@recoveringsoul755]

carabidus I would have started the fire at the bottom, knowing flames travel up. These people should have shown their safety precautions also, like fire extinguishers or water or something. I thought the wood on the inside would have burned. Maybe no air? And doesn't hot glue "let go" when exposed to heat?

[@lopeden]

That slowmo at the end made it look like the damn eye of sauron, I would love for this to be filmed on a greenscreen, would be cool af

[@razzdarkstar]

This is smokey the bear's worst nightmare.

[@onekinkstar]

When the woods catch on fire and burn acres for a week, he's gonna need Smokey!

[@Damstraight68]

razzdarkstar Only YOU can prevent people from glueing tens of thousands of matchs together and then setting them on fire

[@MirrorDepth]

3:37 The dark sign brands you, Chosen Undead 6:37 Eye of Sauron

[@alimahil1881]

Why so low! I was looking for it! :D

[@themonopolyguy4365]

[@vasudoesstuff]

The smoke after 2:42 was very satisfying

[@leevancleef150]

Kinda like dating in high school. All that work and it’s over in under a minute.

[@thomasraahauge5231]

And basicly, you just get burned and end up as a smoking carcass.

[@Soniphex]

I want to do this but also with blue matches representing water and the green ones for land so i can make earth

[@Blockio1999]

Just wanna watch the world burn, eh?

[@dasgettopikachu7878]

nice idea

[@TheDustyMuffinsss]

Soniphex I was just thinking that this reminded me of that meteor simulation from Discovery.

[@Oxman7077]

Blockio1999 well some people do

[@Imperial_Remnant]

So it's true... Some people just want to watch the world burn

[@HeyBroRelaxx]

Watching the smoke after it went out was the coolest part. Looked like it was breathing

[@jawasstolemydroid4930]

The smokes looked like white fire. And sometimes... water?

[@adly.prastya]

1:37 a normal green planet 2:37 a black hole

Sauron when he's really blazed. And going super saiyan.

[@ElementalMaker]

It looks like what I imagine a gas giant burning up would be like. Very cool! I'm amazed the hot glue didn't fail immediately.

[@awesomegamerl]

The fire would be a ball cuz theres no gravity

[@bobthebagel9532]

The fire would be, a normal fire, ALL PLANETS HAVE GRAVITY

[@awesomegamerl]

[@carlhardric8606]

Put that in front of a blue screen and add your own back ground.

[@Anonyomus]

Now the same in reverse, where the match's head points inside the sphere. Wonder how that may look like.

[@haunteddisaster3691]

Anonyomus probably just explodes

[@Anonyomus]

Max Baca sounds ebun banjo to me

[@IneptOrange]

The middle would probably run out of oxygen fairly quickly and not ignite fully

[@misanthropicisolation4013]

IneptOrange Exactly what I was thinking.

[@poiuytrewq4645]

it would be much harder to make because the way this was made was by using the fact the tips are larger to make the curve, if it was inside out it would require modification to each match

[@robrogers4167]

I only counted 41,996 matches. Another clickbait title smh.

next time make a jig to create small cylinders, combine em into a multigonal sphere and stuff em up with match packs. this will allow you to place about 50 at once. should be ready in a couple of weeks or so... Oh! they can be octagonal shape - even easier to combine later.
